Resource for pre-generated player characters?

CrazyBlend · Post by **CrazyBlend** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 2:05 am

I'm a relatively new GM/DM/CK who plans to host my first C&C session for my kids. (I expect I'll use Rising Knight or Assault on Blacktooth Ridge.)

I'd like to be able to dive right into the story, more-or-less. There's plenty for my players to learn without their also having to learn how to generate characters. (That can come later.)

Does anyone know where I might find a bunch of pre-generated C&C PCs (not NPCs) that my players can simply choose from?

Thanks for any help.

I moved this to the General forum, as it's more likely to get a useful response there. Those of us posting at Keeper Advice can help you, but you'd get far more from the rest of the community.

Thanks,

Fiff

Why not just roll some up?

All you need to do is roll stats, pick your traits, buy some stuff, and go.

I have plenty, but alas they are not formatted to be e-mailed. If I recall correctly there were numerous threads in these forums over the years that had just such a resource. Albeit, the PCs were just posts that would probably need to be arranged upon a character sheet.

I have a QuickBasic character generator, but its pretty simple. Doesn't do all the equipment and stuff.

I solved the time-consuming-equipment-purchasing by giving my kids' characters some default items. "You're the children of poor farmers; here's everything you have in the world." And it wasn't much.

Then they found stuff along the way (often suited to whatever character they were playing).

Thanks for the responses. Now I see what my problem is...

I'm still in a new-school, narrativist frame of mind, thinking that character creation requires a lot of time and consideration.

I need to get back into the old-school frame of mind: Characters are essentially just a bunch of numbers.

Both Rising Knight and Assault have NPCs that you could use as pre-gened chars. We've used several from both mods, and the wizard from RN is still with our group.

That's a great idea, Rhuvein. I wasn't even considering that NPCs could serve as PCs.
