I've been thinking about those folks who shop that same tired character around to many different games... the ones who say stuff like, "I've been looking for a...
While I've never used the same character exactly in multiple games, I have taken the basic framework of a character and adjusted the bejebus out of it. Why I...
I've got to say i'm guilty there, too. I do recycle characters more than I should, though I wouldn't take one character from one setting and transfer them...
That's not so bad... and if you only take the name and gender with you, it's still pretty much from scratch. The idiom stuff like chain-smoking or caffeine...
Tweaking being the operative word here. *lol* Tweaking is good - I'm doing the same thing right now - I'm taking the framework of a character I used somewhere...

Actually even if the backstory is good, one mistake a lot of people make is that unless a person was born yesterday, they know other people, or know of them....
<<Logical backstory also seems to be a sort of mental block a lot of players have. They come up with traumatic events, but do nothing to explain how these...
I do agree with you there. We don't come from vaccuums, and it's lazy writing to say that we do. Actually, the whole virgin or whore dichotomy bugs me in...
I must admit to a degree of self-congratulation here...I think I managed to square the circle. Or I'm an even bigger loser than I thought. Why? Because one of...
... At least I know I'm not the only one who is bad at names. I have randomly asked people on-line for names suggestions. Or better yet, I've had GM's give...
... Did I ever tell you about the 20,000 year old Elven Vampire who had never had a boyfriend and desperately wanted to be in "love?" Oj, and she wielded...

Now 'that's' a bio I gotta see. ... -- --I know there are no lifeguards in the gene pool, but damn, there ought to be at least a few sharks in the water....
Please tell me that the GM did not let them play this character! I think that's another of my peeves. It's amazing how many people want to play a 100s year...
... Yeah, I've dealt with those types of players who hunt around for a sim, then e-mail the GM and say, "Your sim is *perfect* for my character idea!" (And of...
Yup, exactly. I'm really trying to have that kind of thing be something that flummoxes the one elf I do play in my own game. (I hate elves on general principle...
Well, I truly wish I could supply the character sheet, but unfortunately I was only a player in that game and not the GM. And yes, the GM did let that player...
... in the same way. ^_^ My characters were always custom-made for each individual game, but their personalities were always frighteningly similar. Of course, ...
I did once adjust Sabretooth from the Xmen books and he ended up XO on a Trek Sim run by someone who's very 'Don't bother if it's not canon'. I was in one of...
If a game has closed, has been off the web for over two years, the holding page where it used to be says it's defunct and they can not and will not support it...
... Probably. I think I would try to get permission first, but if you didn't get a reply to an inquiry I'd say it's probably fair game as long as you gave...
Heh, that reminds me of one of my old players... after we closed our game, he decided he wanted to try his hand at GM'ing. He asked if he could use my "join"...
... Well, it wasn't all that. *lol* They had a bit where it was something like, "You're in a cafe, and someone darts inside, hands you a small package. You can...
I've been tinkering around with a sim idea for a while that I got from the basis for another sim (both being a sim based on a thieves' guild); I joined the ...
