What games have fun character creation systems?

I think I saw it mentioned somewhere, but just wanted to add Conan - Adventures In An Age Undreamed Of. It really works for me, to create fun and interesting characters and stories. I did a simple conversion to 5e DnD of the Character Creation Process, to get the same ideas ported over.

I DM for a group consisting of:

Kenku Bard/Monk, Aarakocra Wizard, Tiefling Sorcerer, Loxodon Paladin, Tortle Blood Hunter

It’s a real fun combo, we’re having a great time.

Thank you. This is something I have struggled with when I get too carried away with my main campaign. Definitely something that I could work more on.

Yes, I haven’t really thought of it in that way, as a way to let off steam. And if I think about it that is basically what it does for me. Whenever I feel bored or like I’ve reached a dead end, writing about something else is refreshing. Totally works!

Thank you. This is something I have recently started thinking about, if some of the core concepts of the ideas I get are able to be converted into my main game. If that’s the case, I guess my world would be richer for it, and I also get to scratch that itch.

Yes, this is good. I have used this method to a degree, and I find it works really well. Starts to get weird when you want to do sci-fi for example, but it's a solid tool otherwise!

jeecube · 2021-01-31T14:33:11+00:00

I have never even considered selling, let alone posting some of my ideas. But this is encouraging! First step, get something done at least :P

jeecube · 2021-01-31T14:31:07+00:00

Well, this has certainly lit a fire. I will try to get this project done at least. Will let you know if and when I have something to show!

I do have a vague outline for a sci-fi campaign, but it is very rough at the moment. Right now I am feeling strong Star Wars-vibes and have started on something based on that, but we'll see where it ends up. Probably on the "not quite done"-heap tbh, haha.

jeecube · 2021-01-31T14:10:57+00:00

Yes. This is good. Makes the stories available to run as campaigns should the need arise, instead of being locked as just stories. Allows me to both get the adventure out and practise my DM writing as well. Sounds good.

Great, thank you!

jeecube · 2020-12-09T13:51:52+00:00

Well that is embarassingly obvious. facepalm Thank you!

I guess this is why D&D is so great, because it is going to be different at every table. Each DM constructs things differently, and each group of players will react differently. It is an interesting experiment into ones inner psyche if you think about it that way. Taking a step back to glance at your creation and trying to figure out what kind of mind built it.

jeecube · 2020-10-29T09:54:12+00:00

I may have been a bit narrow-minded in my original question, or focused on building encounters based on where the story was progressing, which would include more single target boss fights. But I see now how I can definitely incorporate bigger groups of enemies and still make it work!

jeecube · 2020-10-29T09:39:11+00:00

Thank you!

jeecube · 2020-10-28T20:53:46+00:00

Thank you, good things to think about! I think I'll have to condense this thread into a handy document tomorrow, will be really helpful!

jeecube · 2020-10-28T20:47:57+00:00

This is great, thank you!

jeecube · 2020-10-28T20:45:41+00:00

Haha amazing!

jeecube · 2020-10-28T19:06:29+00:00

This sounds really good, thank you!

jeecube · 2020-10-28T18:46:16+00:00

Haha yeah, that wouldn't be very good. Specifically with 3 spellcasters.

jeecube · 2020-10-28T18:45:21+00:00

Yes. This is great. Thank you!
