bad thing from D&D 

A lot of groups have all the players make a character by themselves, before meeting.

Don't do this*. It's way easier to make characters that fit together if you make them together.

*ask your GM, at least

this actually caused a problem with a game I was going to run: I set up a group chat, organised some details, went to bed.

The next day, I checked the chat and overnight several of them had made their characters already.

@lizardsquid Have you ever seen the way the Fate system does character creation? @Terrana could tell you more, but it explicitly requires player characters to show up in each other's backstories.

@Felthry @Terrana yes, I love it!

Apocalypse World and Dungeon World do the same thing, and it's really great for making characters that actually fit together
