[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 9331574, member: 16586"] I would note that my example above is remarkably different from the sort of approach I have taken in more traditional but still character focused games my home group plays and runs. Here's my most recent Vampire character's background workup: [MEDIA=googledrive]1HnaOrZaUzSgl4DRPtUonwpbt-ANQhduW[/MEDIA] The process for creating Laurent was all about setting up a set of interesting details about what he's been through, what his current struggles are, how he knows and relates to the other player characters that creates a starting point for us to jump into. Through play these details lead to premise rather than the other way around. In Vampire we want that drift, that focus on the details. It's alright to go 5-6 sessions without interacting with your sire if other interesting things are going on because the point of play is to see where these details lead rather than exploring premises. From my perspective these sorts of play just provide different sorts of fun. It's all about what we let take the lead. [/QUOTE]
