Party's Past - A 200 Word RPG

One of the areas I’ve struggled with when introducing an RPG campaign, or even a one-shot, is the composition of the party. How do they know each other? What are their experiences? I’ve explored a lot of different avenues of play, from using character creation to fill the void, to the classic “You all meet in a tavern…”

With this year’s 200 word RPG challenge, I decided to try to design a solution. And so, Party’s Past was born.

Party's Past allows a new party to create a storied past for themselves through Question and Answer gameplay - all which can take place before your campaign, in about half an hour.
