Re: New blog: Studded Plate
I've never made players completely fill out questionnaires in detail. Instead, I would tell them to fill in what they know they want to have in place from the start, and then have some general ideas about the rest, even if only vague.
It's a balance between having a history and personality to work with once play begins, and still allowing future play to shape the character, including his past.
These questionnaires are just really great to help ask questions that the player simply doesn't think of asking. It helps get the creative juices to flow.

That's it in a nutshell. My friend the Earthdawn GM used hers as a way to help her players think about how their characters fit into that setting, which has its own unique take on what defines an "Adept" (PC).Hugin wrote:These questionnaires are just really great to help ask questions that the player simply doesn't think of asking.

Very cool! Just curious, do you have a map of The Kynthiad on your blog?

Re: New blog: Studded Plate
Not on the blog, but I've uploaded a few of my maps to my the wiki I maintain for the game. Scroll down to the files list at the bottom of Known World page. Two are scans of the map from Robert Graves' Greek Myths; the other two are my hand-drawn maps of 1) the known world, and 2) the regions around and to the north of the Pontus [modern Black Sea].
