We roll up stats, then figure out where they fit in the group as far as what job they can do with those stats and then fill in details about the character. The character's stories are usually filled in during play and I'm the only artist in the group so pictures don't usually happen.Emmetthttp://www.theartifact.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624244242117701070.post-43463026472229269422011-09-16T14:11:54.295-04:002011-09-16T14:11:54.295-04:00I usually GM but in the campaign where I'm a p...I usually GM but in the campaign where I'm a player, it started with a drawing I made. The drawing itself was based on a class from Warhammer Online, but it turned out to be so different I started to wonder what the char would be like to play. And so my PC was born. :)<br /><br />After that, I selected a class and feats - the mechanics parts - and lastly I wrote the background weaving Pixiedragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699072435687676395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624244242117701070.post-17304652849424483572011-09-16T09:57:28.055-04:002011-09-16T09:57:28.055-04:00If I have a cool concept in mind, I work my mechan...If I have a cool concept in mind, I work my mechanics around that concept (which is usually the case); otherwise, if I just enjoy the character creation process--like I do with 4ED&D--I'll make a mechanical character and build a concept around it or while I make it.<br /><br />My process usually includes finding a character I like in a movie/book/video game/etc and making that into a gameBroken Fingerprintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795549438342106742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624244242117701070.post-38699213957648029032011-09-16T08:38:13.644-04:002011-09-16T08:38:13.644-04:00My process involves a bit of back and forth.

I decide on a concept, make a set of mechanics, define the history, re tweak the mechanics to fit that better, and then more fully define the history. In practice I usually go back and forth a few times on that.Couretonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345010106705079453noreply@blogger.com
