How To Create Great D&D Backstories!

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.For more information check out these timestamps:18:00: What are we looking for in Backstories?23:00: Limiting Backstories is not a good idea28:00: Find your way to create a character in play36:00: A Backstory needs to fit the Game40:00: Include things that GMs can use47:00: A Backstory needs to support the Game Story49:00: First get a feel for the Character and then create a Backstory52:00: Include a TL;DR in your Backstory56:00: Work with your GM to make the backstory fit.This episode was Sponsored by: MasterScreen.AppGo to https://masterscreen.app/ or to Twitter to check out this new Set of Tools to Manage your TTRPG Campaigns.You can find the Show on Social Media and the Web to stay up to date with the latest content, schedules, and more:Website, Twitter, Instagram, Ko-Fi Hosted on Acast.
