Which parts of a new character should the player have to explain in some detail in the backstory? Why or why not?
Unusually high or low attributes? Unusually high or low skills? Edges/flaws? Awakening? High resources and/or lifestyle and/or spells? Contacts? only buddies and ffl or all of them? Unusual pieces of equipment? Cyberware? - or even backstory replacement of cyberware? Bioware? Other? (I had been intending to do this as a poll, but there are too many options and combinations of options to make it practical unless there were some way to set up a given poll to allow more than one answer: not generally desirable, not asked, not done.) |
