[QUOTE="robconley, post: 8245791, member: 5636"] I say you described tersely how the character exist in the setting. I am not sure what you think the possible hinderances are? Either the NPCs life will intersect the PC's life in which case the prep is useful. If they never do then it wasn't useful except perhaps the enjoyment it brought you while sketching the character out. The Blades in the Dark version is even more tersely described with the specific pushed to later. Blades in the Dark is designed in part to facilitate this kind of thing. Very rough sketch first, details fleshed out later in the interest of getting on with play. The former can be an issue if your time is limited and need to make every moment of prep count. The latter can be an issue because the campaign develops differently as the details are made up after when they are needed. None of this is good or bad it just how it is when you use one or the other. [/QUOTE]
