Here are my self-imposed rules, which I reserve the right to violate at any time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I&#8217;ll only create characters for games which I&#8217;ve run, played (play-by-post counts), playtested during development, or contributed to.  Generally speaking, I&#8217;ll try to match editions, and will give preference to earlier editions, but I may need to bend this if I can&#8217;t otherwise comply with the next rule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I must own a physical copy of the core rulebook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I will use only material from the core book.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No recycling characters I&#8217;ve played (though I may recycle pre-gens I&#8217;ve written for other people if they sufficiently amuse me).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I&#8217;ll build each character according to rules as written.  If random elements are mandatory, I&#8217;ll roll those out as written.  If random elements are optional, I&#8217;ll use them to the greatest extent that makes sense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each day will feature a new game (except for one short series of deliberately-planned violations at the end of the month).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There I was, minding my own business, when a random Redditor on \/r\/rpg\/ made me aware of the Character Creation Challenge.
