Message: <blockquote data-quote="Simon The Hunter" data-source="post: 9771108" data-attributes="member: 7050633">I've had my fair share of anti-hero backgrounds, but these days when I solo rpg, I like to have my PC's have a relatively regular upbringing (a <insert class here>who grew up in a warm conclave but now needs to go out into the world as part of their training is pretty common for me) and I just roll some random background notes for them, usually 3 to 4 keywords that I'll use later on as they are travelling to push story.Thinking back, a LOT of my PCs had minimal bad backgrounds when I first started playing and for a few years after, stuff was kinda made up on the fly. It was only a lot later that I even thought about having dark histories. The one time I was specifically asked to make an in-depth background was when our 4e toons got boring (around lvl11 at the time I think), so the DM let us roll new ones to take over but wanted something interesting as to why these new PCs would take over... I may have gotten a bit carried away, I still have the 26-page pdf here on my computer, and it gets a read every couple of years hehe.</blockquote>
