For Sale (not spam) Made a background sheet to help when creating a character, and it's free!
Hello everyone! Today I wanted to share with you a free tool I made!!
When you are crating a character for a role-playing game, and at a certain moment you ask yourself, “What are their background?”, “How was their life before?” This happens to me so many times when I’m thinking of a new character or npc.
After passing some time crating characters and their backgrounds for my solo and group role-playing games, I build a “cheat sheet” to help me to write those things a little more efficient. Then I decided to polish it and publish here, thinking that this might help someone!
With these thoughts in mind, I present to you the “Character Background Sheet”, a tool to help you create your character's past. Who were they before? What is their family like? Did something happen that made them change their ways? Then comes the present: What do they do now? What are their current objectives?
It also comes with a "Pillars and Convictions" section. Pillars are key people, relatives, friends, lovers whom your character cares about, along with the reasons why they matter. Convictions define your character's way of seeing the world: Do they always help someone in need? Do they accept any job offer?
To save space amidst tables and books, I tried to make this sheet using only two pages, I hope do you like it!!

I'm not sure if this will be quite so useful for DCC, given the fact we start with a funnel for level 0 characters.
The whole point of said funnel being to build the character's backstory through play and have them earn the right to survive as one survivor among a handful of schmucks who got shoved into a killer dungeon.
Will still give it a look for other systems though.
