[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7318631, member: 97077"] Our table rule is that you keep your backstory about the length of a tweet, then establish adventures you took with two other PCs in the group with a mention of the trinket you rolled randomly. Subsequent details can be established during play. Nobody wants to read a book and my experience has been that the longer the backstory, the less it comes up in play. Many players just leave it all on the page and are fairly mute at the table. So here's my current character in Tomb of Annihilation. PC names are in bold.
