[QUOTE="payn, post: 9642971, member: 90374"] I've become pretty reliant on two things. Genre/setting and campaign style. I go through similar motions as folks mentioned here, initial idea, session zero, look at what the party needs etc.. Though, I really look for GMs that give me some meat on the bone. That means, campaign players guides, a clear campaign vision, understanding of system and genre. I know I tend to expect a lot (which means I often end up in the GM chair). If a pitch is, "generic fantasy open world sandbox do whatever you want!" thats a huge red flag that the game wont be for me. That said, in a classless system, im gonna be looking to the GM even more for guidance. I have had occasions where the GM asks, "what do you want to do in a X world" and im happy to come up with something. In essence, chargen isnt a vacuum for me, im not going to develop a concept without input from the entire group, but particularly the GM. [/QUOTE]
