| Since the main thing everybody goes on is your name, a name that suggests a stat will get a lot of it... or the opposite. Klanthor is prettier than me! |

CHARACTER SHEET
For one-shots at conventions and the like, how do you pick from a pile of character sheets? I generally provide pregen characters with a place in the story and some explanation of their powers and so on. I might provide full names (as in the Nationals, where the PCs have connections and attractions and a title sequence, and playing them as prompted is a guide to the roleplaying awards) or surnames or nicknames so players can choose genders and the like. One trick I liked was a superhero game with sheets face down and pictures on the back so players could pick by archetypes like “the Hulk type, please!”

ReplyDeleteThat is quite a striking design. Best Friends, not a Pretend Best Friend? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNXijH0LmZg
At conventions, I've also done the finished character sheet but letting them know they can change names, gender, and similar. Good tip about archetype choosing 🙂
