Lady Blackbird) or as a way to demonstrate games at a convention (e.g. Now, I've ssen this attitude before, about a lot of games with pre-written finales ( Polaris) or development ( My Life with Master), and I've seen a lot of semi-popular games that use pregen characters as a default (e.g. He thinks that a premade character, and this might have something to do with the fact that the premade sheets include personality and alignment traits, force him into a role that's been pre-written by you. You can ask him if he has been reading it, I'd write this: So, by looking at the chat transcript, I would assume this guy is perfectly sane, just a bit opinionated, and that if he has read the pitch in its entirety he just wanted to see if you really wanted to write what you wrote. Not being a native speaker, you lack the specific terminology that would have made the message impossible to misunderstand (e.g.: "I will hand out pregen characters"), but I dare saying that it takes effort to misunderstand that as "Tiklis wants to show us some empty, different character sheets so that we can choose the layout we like most" meaning at the exclusion of the more usual one.Įspecially in light of your first Post Scriptum. There's no need for that to be hostile or angry, at least on your part - not all players are right for all games or GMs, and it's far, far better to know that now than have to deal with it in-game.Īs your game resume says, on September 16 your players will choose between character sheets you made. Unless you are having problems filling the game with an acceptable number of players, I would pass with this guy. (It's also very rude to tell you that in any circumstance.)

Is the use of pregenerated characters a bad and wrong way to play? Shall I allow this player to join the game?
