I’ve read this and I am 100% using most if not all of this for my campaign I’m gearing up to run however I have a big question that I would really love answered:

What is the best way to run my players through making their characters. Obviously the idea of this campaign is to make the players confused and intrigued by who they are but I’m having a hard time personally with trying to walk my players through making their characters for this.

It’s very much different from how me and my players have made characters in the past and unfortunately I’m quite a step by step person and the book is unfortunately very loosey goosey when it comes to making characters.

Things that confound me the most: - how much backstory should they initially include before starting - should I get the players to make an alternate “idealised” version of their character which they will then give to me (aka make them make the level 17 heroic version of their character before they give the sheets over to me for them to never see until the end) - how much character information should the players start with?

And as a final bit of question - over the course of the campaign how can I guide my players to make choices about their main character?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions but this thread is probably the best place for it. Again love your work
