Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pyske" data-source="post: 387645" data-attributes="member: 3567">I'm quite a bit more flexible.  There are two styles that seem pretty common for both GMs and players; on rec.games.frp.advocacy they are known as "Develop at Start" and "Develop in Play".  Some people like to have lots of information up front, and play to a specific character idea.  Others like to have only the bare basics, and discover their character's personality and backstory through playing them.  I've had a fair amount of success with either approach, as both a player and a GM, so I don't mandate one or the other.On the other hand, despite the fact that I enjoy writing up character backstories, and am generally a DAS player, I would probably be scared away from your game if you demanded 2+X pages from me up front.  Seems a little too much to me. . . . . . . . -- Eric</blockquote>
