Give your character a past that matters.
Create a backstory that shapes your character’s choices, gives them something worth fighting for and opens the door to adventure.
This practical guide helps you develop believable motivations, meaningful relationships and unfinished business your Dungeon Master can bring into the campaign. Discover how to connect your story with fellow players, turn personal goals into opportunities for roleplay and leave room for your character to grow through the decisions you make at the table.
Written by Rolldark founder Robert Bradley, drawing on his experience as a professional actor, voice artist and storyteller. With inspiration from characters such as Aragorn, Ripley and Daenerys Targaryen, you’ll explore what makes a compelling history—and how to create one of your own.
