Next Episode: Bringing Your Cities to Life
This episode we discuss the foundation for your adventurer’s origins and motivations: their backstory.
We look at backstories both from the perspective of the player and the DM, getting into what makes a good backstory, how a longer backstory doesn’t necessarily make a better backstory, and some of the pitfalls to avoid when crafting your backstory.
We also dig into the importance of a backstory fitting into the campaign you’ll be playing in and how far good communication between players and DMs goes to setting everyone up for success.
