The thing your character wants and won’t say
Our new home on the web, one quiet question for the table, and a post about where backstories really come from.
We all know the character. “Just here for the gold,” arms crossed, no attachments, in it for the payout and nothing else. Then, seemingly out of the blue, four sessions later, an NPC kid is about to get hurt, and that same player is halfway out of their chair before they know they’ve moved.
