Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use a three-beat backstory?

Origin explains who raised you, the turn explains why you left, and the goal gives your DM a hook. 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,000 combinations — plenty for a whole party.

Can I write this up for my character sheet?

Yes — flesh out names, places and details freely. The generator is a skeleton; your specifics make it yours.
