[quote=@Rilla]Who are these mythical elitist GMs and why did I never meet them? I feel left out.

You should be fine, personally as a GM I don't even read bios, I read the important bits. Magic, equipment, personalities. and skills. and as a character creator, I pepper in the bio in the other bits. 

f bios, basically.[/quote]

Wha- People put their heart and soul into writing those bios! As a GM, it is the duty of the one they are giving their characters for inspection to read through everything and make sure it checks out, and if it does give them some praise and a healthy pat on the back!

... Then again, for you to be able to say that, I suppose you don't exactly GM story-driven roleplays. Suppose it might work then. 

*notices that it is Rilla I'm replying to* ... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I suppose the bios you get for the most part are waaaay too into detail and don't exactly contribute to anything at all, not to mention you've possibly seen way more sheets than most other GMs around here might see, so I suppose that works in those circumstances. ... My words apply to everyone else, though. Especially in Advanced. ... ESPECIALLY in Advanced. Don't skimp on the bios! ... Haha.
