[QUOTE="Guest 6801718, post: 6994736"] After a long gaming career, I actually have a pretty good size group of like-minded gamers. We love really digging into our characters and fleshing them out. Some of the group were either new to D&D or new to pen and paper rpgs all together. So they asked for some help in bringing their characters to life a bit more. So I came up with some questions to help them out. Describe your best friend. Who are your family and friends that are close to you? What is an unusual quirk or habit you have? Something like whistling absentmindedly or biting your fingernails when you're nervous. What is your most prized possession? List at least five personality traits (positive or negative) that your character has. Describe a hobby or passion your character has. What goals does your character want to accomplish outside of adventuring? I shuffle through them, depending on the campaign or what we want to do. I used to have other questions too, but I couldn't remember them to post here. Basically anything that gets them thinking or helps them add a little something to their character to be unique. It doesn't necessarily have to be something that will get used in an adventure. Just something that makes role playing a bit more fun for them. Though now, I don't usually have to ask any questions. My group just comes up with all this stuff on their own at character creation. Which is handy for our zero sessions, so they can figure out how they all know each other or how they came together. They really feed off of ideas from others at the table. Man, I'm a lucky guy with my game group. [/QUOTE]
