[quote=@Tortoise] I disagree. We're a smart bunch; we can remember the details of recurring characters, as we already see people doing with Hoogarth. And if someone does forget, I'm here to remember. Making a whole CS for a character nobody plays is a lot of work and a lot of reading for no real gain, and rubs my GM'ing instincts the wrong way. [/quote] Forgive me, I am merely mortal. It also helps to remind others like myself when my character is interacting with that character so their details and perhaps their history helps me craft a better scene. [quote=@twannyman] Harold seems like a lovely lad. [/quote] He's just a sketch, a basic description and a point about his personality. Had we dug in deeper, perhaps we'll learn he joined the pilgrimage to escape the farm. Or gambling debts, and what he must do to pay them off. Still, one can have fun with a sketch.
