>>3049951She was pretty stressed over the errands and appointments today so she basically went all-in on character creation ideas, as did chat. So don't expect a full blown summary this time, but basically she put together a handful of wacky NPCs who run the bar the party starts in, with all the usual moribait traits like foxface and scrappy shota and tough chick.
More broadly, it was fun to see that:
1) She's really quick on her feet when it comes to figuring out their relationships, strengths, weaknesses, what not to reveal to dead beats yet, and can crank out an edgy past in under a minute while juggling tabs and keeping an eye on chat
2) She also kept reminding people that not all this backstory is even going to come up, that she wants the other girls' chars to need center stage, she needs a really strong beginning that will encourage them to be proactive... Stuff that shows she's really thinking through how to make sure the genmates and viewers both enjoy this
3) She is an absolute dork about this stuff, and was rambling a mile a minute about her beliefs on game balance and stat spreads and motivating her players, and was genuinely having so much fun working on this stuff even though she feels like shit.
So basically we can expect the exact opposite of the three main things (unorganized, unprepared, uninterested) that ruined the current collab series. Look forward to it
