About the adventure
I've got over 16 years of building TTRPG characters from scratch in a multitude of systems and have turned into a 1 hour art. Everything from mechanical strengths to appearance and personality to who they're friends with and what they like to do, I've made it my skill to generate something interesting that draws on things you like to do, characters you like to see, and the aspects that make those characters feel real. When we sit down for together we're going to cover how to create a character in your system, what creating a character looks like, tools and methods to reliably generate interesting aspects of a personality, and ways to express those things while you're at the table, either online or in-person!

About me
With over 15 years experience as a Gamemaster, I love bringing to life the story of the party and their antics. I enjoy telling stories with the players' involvement, using their character ideas to influence arcs of the overall campaign. Most of my campaigns involve 5-9 session arcs that take the party through a leg of their journey and culminating in a boss adventure including the various themes from the last several sessions. Challenges may come in the form of puzzles, skill checks, social interactions, or tactical roleplay and combat.

Creating your character
We sit down together for an hour, go over the basic character creation rules of the system you're playing in, establish the various ways you can generate character ideas, and then dive into those methods to get a character who feels like they have depth and functionality in a variety of situations. We will also cover mechanical bonuses and expression, the ways you can flavor mechanically inconsistent tools, and discussions you should have with your Game Master.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Participants should have access to a microphone and Discord account. They should bring any and all system source material they can find, as well as any instructions from the Game Master regarding the character creation process.
What Jessie brings to the table
I will provide knowledge and expertise on characterization and personalization, as well as some tools and methods to think through what makes and motivates a person. I will also help them analyze influential media to create something interesting and meaningful to each and every participant!
Homebrew rules
I use only the most relevant of rules that can be found for your given System. Participants should bring a list of any character creation requirements, as well as any source material they might have access to.
