Bonus: Fleshing out your OC with Better Backstories!

Show Notes

This week, Fiona and Hamilton look at one of Hamilton's favourite prompt tools for creating character backstories: 'Better Backstories'.

Better Backstories is a card-based brainstorming system for authors, role-players, educators, songwriters, and more! Created by Jay Stilipec, Better Backstories is genre-neutral and system independent, so it works it can provide inspiration for any setting or any role-playing game.
