You've chosen your class, bought your weapons, and rolled for your stats, and you're now the proud owner of your own RPG (role-playing game) avatar. But before you begin your adventure, there's so much more you can do with your character to make him or her your own! Just how evil is she? What does his dating profile look like? Where did she get that scar? What does he want for his birthday? With fill-in-the blank narratives, prompts, and fun activities to help you customize your character at the start of the game, or build out your backstory as you play, The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Book will help you fully imagine your character and bring them to life for the ultimate gaming experience!

"Your character creating journey itself seems like a game, there's space available to write in the book which I feel helps add to pencil and paper feel to the famed tabletop RPGs! What I like about this book is even if you don't want to play with others, you could entertain yourself by creating characters for fun OR to help you create characters for a book or short story. From what I've read so far, this book is pure fun. If someone like me who knows little to nothing about traditional RPG's could enjoy this book, then other newcomers to the genre and returning heroes from past fellowships will find something in this for them." -Horror Fuel
