#138 – Effective Character Backstories

Hey look at us, we are 138! Now that that is stuck in your head,
in this episode we discuss the development of good character
backstories in RPGs (and especially in Palladium). There are some
dos and don'ts to go over, so give us a listen and then join our
Discord to share your own takes on the topic of story-building!


Drop us a line! You can follow us (sporadically) on Facebook, and
we'd love to see you on our Discord Channel too. And let us know
your thoughts by leaving a review on iTunes! For even more info
and options, check out our main website or our low-bandwidth
alternative feed site.
