Adventure Begins #AtoZchallenge #rpg #fantasy #prompt

My theme is a month of prompts and ideas for tabletop role-playing games or prompts for fantasy writers.

The Adventure Begins!

Several different concepts and types of games will be covered this month.

To start us off, the adventure will be a sort of urban fantasy. The first campaign will be known as "BB&B."

The objective here is to inspire you to write a campaign (or story), so all of these are suggestions.

Build your characters:

Get your character characteristics as usual, making sure to look human. Figure out your background, education, job history, and finances. What is the character wearing at the start? What is in their pockets or purses? The main goal is to create a plausible character that could be in our 2020 Earth setting.

TOMORROW we'll find out where the setting is, what the adventure will be, plus one other character customization.
