"I'm going to create a PC for every game I own. I need to honor all those lonely forgotten games on my shelf." - chaldfont, in this thread.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

How It Works

Simple: create a character for each game you own, and post them up, with any commentary you wish to add, right here. Set whatever other rules for yourself that you wish (e.g. whether or not to let the dice fall as they may, whether to count all settings and/or splatbooks for one system as separate games or not, et cetera) or just make it up as you go.

For ease of reference, the archive is sorted into two lists: the first arranged by game; the second arranged by creator, in the order of creation.
