So, I'm planning to put out feelers for a #Chroniclesofdarkness #oneshot and I have questions about how to do this.
1: Am I supposed to have #pregenerated #playercharacters? And if I do, how important is it that they're #Optimized?
2: If the players I get want to make their own characters, how much time am I expected to take?
I'll post more questions as I come up with them.
If anyone here plays either Over The Edge, or Unknown Armies, can you please tell me if the characters below, made in heroforge, would be or would not be typical player #characters (or npcs).
I'm reading the third edtion of OTE but currently lack any edition of UA. My knowledge of UA is second hand and I'm wondering if these seem like typical #occultists in the setting.

Personal experience; I have put TOO MANY hours in #DragonsDogma2, with two #Arisen (#PlayerCharacters) and I encountered #Dragonsplague ONCE.
Dismissing the #Pawn with Dragonsplague before leaving #TheRift seemed to take care of it before it was a problem.

What made #DnD5E great was simplification. What is killing #DnD5E is increasing complexity.
Good #RPG game design is fundamentally incompatible with the #neoliberal #neofeudal quest for #monopoly revenues and profits derived from #ownership of intellectual #property.
The #TTRPG industry is primarily a cottage industry precisely because a good game depends on a #ruleset which doesn't impede the #storylives of the #PlayerCharacters.
Late entry for #charactercreationchallenge2024. Sorry, no #heroforge mini this time.
#Clementia Chrace is a Reiklander #Charlatan. Yes, charlatan is listed as an job in #WHFR; in fact #jobs have levels with different names in this game, and her starting level is #Swindler.
Of the four latest #Playercharacters I #rolledup, three of them are #Humans), one is a #Bailiff, the third was a #Lawyer, and the second was this one.
If I didn't know better I'd think this was all #serendipitous...
Some tokens I made for a DnD campaign with friends c:

Picture extradimensional explorer aliens, travelling through the multiverse, classifying universes as essentialist or existentialist.
Then they stumble across your average #ADnD universe, where 99.99% of existence is essentialist (at the crudest level, monster behavior controlled by inborn alignment), but a few lifeforms aren't -- they have more free will, and existence determines their essence (alignment).
That's right, #PlayerCharacters are existentialist entities in essentialist universes!
Which #dnd5e #book had all the options for making #playercharacters of all the #races, #mosterraces included?
I thought it was #TashasCauldronofEverything but I just bought it and I don't see it.
Once again sincerely apologizing to every #TTRPG #GM I've ever had for being physically incapable of ever *not* writing a novella-length backstory and description for any of my #PCs
