CHARGEN FAQ - To be updated as more questions come in.<br/><br/><strong>1: What if I don't use a Background/Specialist Package?</strong><br/><br/>Those are for people who want to do fast chargen.  If you don't use a package, you can just remove that line from your sheet.<br/><br/><strong>2: What are Backgrounds?</strong><br/><br/>As the name partially implies, backgrounds are details that are used to round out the character, usually that don't involve one of your Traits.  Backgrounds are<em>not</em>plot points - the only way a Background comes into the story is through the mention of the character who has the Background.<br/><br/><strong>3: What are Links?</strong><br/><br/>Links<em>are</em>plot points - people, objects, locations, secrets - that will be incorporated into the telling of the game.  While you do have control over what your Links are, and how you state them, do keep in mind that the GMs are not omniscient.  They may use your Link in a manner different to what you have envisioned.<br/><br/><strong>4: Do I have to have 3 Backgrounds/Links?</strong><br/><br/>Short answer: No.<br/><br/>Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.<br/><br/>Technical answer: You can have as many Links/Backgrounds as you want.  But we suggest at least 3 of each, since Backgrounds are what makes your character a character, and GMs who don't have plot points to use with their characters can find it hard to interact or move the plot along.<br/><br/>But please, no itemized list of 24 Links.
