How To Create Great D&D Backstories!
Listen now
Description
In today's episode, we cover the topic of Player Character backstories and how you can write great engaging D&D backstories your GM can use to weave you into the world and narrative of the campaign.  A great backstory can mean a lot of different things depending on the game, world, campaign, other players and so much more and that's why we are talking about what steps you should take to create a great fitting backstory or if you are a GM what steps you should take so your players create the backstories you want. We also talk about what it means to create no backstory or limit the length of the backstories you are getting from your players.
