Publisher: Goblin’s HenchmanSession Zero – ‘Consequences-Style’ Background Builder
You must have played the “Consequences” game at some point. A group of people take turns to answer a series of questions on a sheet of paper, without seeing the previous answers, and so a random narrative is generated as a result.
I’ve come up with my version of this for RPGs. This is it. The idea is that each PC gets a randomly generated background by using the ‘Consequences’ type mechanic at the table. I suppose it’s not necessary for everyone to have their PC’s background generated this way (but that would be more fun), as long as everyone doesn’t mind chipping in to help fill out the questions.
In my version, people get to read the answer directly above the box they are filling in, just to aid with the consistency of the narrative.
The idea is that the answers to the questions can be used to ‘seed’ a background, or used as is (maybe needing a bit of a narrative/tweak to weave things together i.e. to join up the dots).

I’m very happy for you to pay nothing for this product; and anything given to me will only be frittered away on RPG-related wares anyway. That said, even a nominal sum like 50 cents seems to bump this thing up the DriveThru charts!
