i think one of the best things people who like playing trrpgs could learn from the Seasons of Hieron is that you really don’t need a big complicated backstory for your character to feel like they have a full and complete life and how a simple backstory can improve your play because it makes you focus on what’s happening in the moment rather than constantly thinking about some big grand event that happened off screen that no one else at your table even knows about

#having a big elaborate backstory can really bog shit down #it makes for much better play imo #less is more sometimes!#i think the most complicated backstory is Adaire but none of that is even on the top ten most interesting things about her #im thinking about Hella and how interesting she is and we know basically nothing about her before the beginning of the game
