<h2>Group Creation</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Unlike the creation process for your game world, group creation isn't
|
||
particularly structured — in fact, it’s mostly about establishing the
|
||
fundamental themes of your early adventures. When you select a group type, you
|
||
are saying “Hey, this is how we want to explore the world we just created —
|
||
we’d really like our shared story to mostly focus on these aspects of it.”
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Additionally, your choice of group will inform the kind of heroes you will
|
||
make during the next step of session zero. Don’t take it as a restriction:
|
||
instead, see it as a useful reference to go back to whenever you are unsure
|
||
about your character concepts.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You can even give your group a name — such as the
|
||
<strong>Brotherhood of the Griffin</strong> or the
|
||
<strong>Queenshields</strong>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If you are the Game Master, treat this step as a precious opportunity to learn
|
||
what kind of situations, stories, and antagonists everyone is excited about!
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2>BROUGHT TOGETHER BY FATE</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You find yourselves working together because of the circumstances. Despite
|
||
this being a common trope in classic fantasy tales, it is actually the most
|
||
difficult to pull off since your group will lack a precise goal: you must work
|
||
with each other during play to build a web of relationships (Bonds become
|
||
incredibly important).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If you choose this premise, it may be a good idea to switch to a different
|
||
type of group once your characters have developed a common goal.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>What emotional or familial connections exist between your characters?</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Have your characters met in the past? Are there any tensions or rivalries?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>What do you have in common? Beliefs, enemies, past experiences?</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h2>GUARDIANS</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
One of the Player Characters is a Chosen One, a person tasked with a mission
|
||
that could change the very fate of the world. Everyone else in your group has
|
||
sworn, by duty or by choice, to protect the Chosen One during their travels.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
What bonds, ties or rivalries exist between each guardian and the Chosen
|
||
One?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
What is your mission? Who gave it to you? Do the authorities approve of it?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Why does the Chosen One need protection? Who or what threatens their
|
||
mission?
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
