500 Unique Character Creation Questions! System and Genre Agnostic!

5 Questions was designed to help players quickly design a character background by answering five unique character questions on a single sheet of paper. These aren't simple questions like "What is your favorite color?" but rather questions that delve into your character backstory like, "What did your father say to you on his deathbed?"

Use them to sketch a backstory, or use them to help you create flaws, bonds, one unique thing, or aspects of your character.

There are 5 types of questions included in this document - 100 of each type:

  • Physical or Personality Traits
  • World Places/Events/Organizations
  • Interparty Relationships
  • NPC Relationsips
  • Character Secrets

You can print out full "ready to use" 5 question questionnaires for your players (there are 200 ready-made questionnaire sheets included), or design your own questionnaires from the comprehensive lists of questions in the Appendix. How you use them is totally up to you!

I love this release. When I start running a new game, I hand each player a random page from the book. These are simple questions that help players fill in some of their character's backstory. Great for use with new players, or players that always make [...]

Although many companies over the years have attempted the systemless RPG supplement, few have succeeded. RPG players tend to want supplemental material that expands on all elements of the game, including the mechanics. Yet another fantasy world gazett [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
