Characters to play with, write with, fight with, be friends with
This text provides an overview of Characters To... for new players who are looking to play roleplaying games with minimal ruleset but maximum storytelling potential. It also emphasizes its minimalist nature as it allows for a focus on characters, immersion and story without sacrificing too much structure or logic from the original tabletop RPGs they may be familiar with. The character creation process involves selecting skills that make them unique while keeping track of their history throughout life to justify what actions they do during gameplay sessions where "you know everything" is not necessary but useful information for your characters' background and experiences in a roleplaying environment can enhance immersion, storytelling potential or both at the same time.
