Opinion on pre generated characters wanted
What are your thoughts on pre generated characters? I have a game in mind with certain roles that I want filled. There is also a particular power level involved as well. To get the best results I am thinking of designing them myself. It would give me some control over a powerful group. Not to mention the pleasure of making the characters myself.
Pros
I get the pleasure of making the characters.
It is a control measure for powerful characters.
Certain roles will be filled in the group.
Cons
Will anyone be interested in playing characters that they did not design?
This is a creative group of individuals. Will they feel stifled?
Has anyone tried this approach? Designed a character posted it on the board and asked for a player?
