Wrap up post about this year's #CharacterCreationChallenge

I've posted my after-action report for the 2023 #CharacterCreationChallenge I'm looking forward to 2024 to make more #TTRPG characters.

I review my experience with 2023’s #CharacterCreationChallenge , rant a bit about some gaming news no one picked up, and index all 31 days of characters. Bring on #Zinequest5 / #Zinequest2023 / #zinequest

Waah! It's the last one.

This character is a boxer for the German rpg Heist.

So, you wanna be a boxer...

Day 30 of the #CharacterCreationChallenge is now online. I used the True20 #TTRPG to create a human bounty hunter in a sci-fi setting.

#CharacterCreationChallenge Day 25-ish: Star Trek Adventures (Modiphius)

More unexpected day job nonsense took too much time & energy again today, so I'll just drop Lt. Surin in the Modiphius #StarTrekRPG version here (very clear character creation process, 2d20 looks like a cool system, but only six skills is maybe too much abstraction for me) and then declare the Challenge prematurely semi-finished. I guess 25 isn't too bad.

Many thanks to @TardisCaptain! Let's do it again next year!

Day 29 of the #CharacterCreationChallenge and I created a mutated plant for the Metamorphosis Alpha #TTRPG system.

You can absolutely feel that this game was made mostly by the same people who made LUG's #StarTrekRPG, such as in the way you build a character by combining templates.

Unfortunately the organisation and editing of the book is not very good, I'm not convinced the addition of professions does anything other than add unnecessary complexity and limit flexibility, and I don't like the 2d6 skill check mechanic.

So yeah, not really a fan. (Sorry.) 3/3

#CharacterCreationChallenge #TTRPG #StarTrek

This version of Lt. Surin definitely feels less interesting to me. The skill selection is more limited, and there's now a distiction between profession and non-profession (more expensive) skills, which makes the process less flexible. In this case, I wasn't able to fit in his diplomatic experiences, for example.

Also you don't really get the same sense of building a character's backstory as with the old system's tours of duty. 2/3

#CharacterCreationChallenge Day 24-ish: Star Trek RPG (Decipher)

So in 2000, Last Unicorn was sold, partially to WotC and the rest to the game company Decipher. The #StarTrek license went to Decipher, but apparently the rights to LUG's ICON system did not, or maybe they just preferrered to make their own. I don't know what happened, but either way, the CODA #StarTrekRPG was the result, and (spoiler alert), I don't particularly like it. 1/3

#TTRPG

I really like Last Unicorn's #StarTrekRPG. It's very clean and accessible, and the template-based character creation system is easy to use and gives a good sense of the character's background.

I'm not a big fan of #TTRPG systems using difficulty numbers, but apart from that, this feels perfectly decent. And the book is well-organised, which I have gained a new appreciation for after this past month, because oh boy, there are some that are *not* that. 5/5
