DiceCast™ Episode 1: Character Creation

The guys from Polymancer® Studios discuss character creation. Facets of character creation covered include choosing an archetype, creating a background and backstory without going overboard, personality; and making the character a unique, fun challenge both for you to roleplay, for others to play alongside, and for others to encounter.

While focused on gaming, much of the discussion is relevant to writers of fiction too.

More information about who we are and what we do is available at www.polymancer.com. Questions and comments are always welcome at dicecast@polymancerstudios.com.

This episode contains bumpers for the following podcasts: Wapcaplets, All Games Considered, 3.5 Private Sanctuary, and The Escapistcast. These podcasts, the other podcasts named here, and many others are members of RPGPodcasts.com.
