Previously, on /5eg/ Players how do you make a character? Do you start with a personality and background or a class and general theme?
DMs how do you make memorable NPCs? Do you try to flesh them all out a lot or make the basics then flesh out the ones the party latch on to?

I'll give it a try, but I was meaning more specific, like pointing me to a guide or some tools to make the game cleaner and easier for her. We are still playing 4e
Ethan Sanchez
The DMs guide for 4e was one of the best. I don't know how much either of you have read it, but read through and where you see a problem she had memorize it and give advice.

I haven't read it but I'll give it a look and see if I can give her tips. Thanks man.
Fuck you.

Repost from the previous thread, but hopeful feedback. Currently in a mid-write up for tweaks, changes, etc. for some bloodline specific metamagic, but most impressions welcome.
Matthew Jones
It really surprises me how many DMs haven't even tried reading the DMs guide. I understand not memorizing it word for word but come on.
Jayden Hernandez
I sent the group links to the DM, Monster, and all 4 player books, but I'm not sure how many read each one. The other players aren't very experienced either.

Personally k think any DM should bare minimum read the DMs guide along with the core PHB. This gives them a better understanding of the game, the MM is consulted when necessary to make encounters or clear up if x can do y because you forgot to write it down or can't read what you wrote.
Michael Scott
Players shouldn't have the DM and Monster guides on hand.
