#7 - Backstories & Backgrounds (Creating Your Character)

In the first part of the Creating Your Character series we delve into alignment, backstories, backgrounds, and more. We believe it's important to start with the concept of a character before jumping into making decisions on race, class, etc. Join us as we discuss some strategies for creating compelling backstories and even get to making a few characters of our own.
