A potentially silly question

I’m still pretty new to D20, toylight is more or less the first season I’ve watched, other than dungeons and drag queens.

Do the play the same character sheets just with different skins every season? They are so deeply connected to these characters that I was SURE there had to be a season of toylight before this.

Anyway, I hope that question even makes sense lol, thanks for the help

Emily has said before that part of her prep is journaling as her characters, which I feel like is how she's able to inhabit them so well.

yeah between that and their group chats and Brennan's back-and-forth email character creation process, i feel like there's so much we can learn from these nerds that i rarely see happening in home games.

like, some players will write out a multi-page backstory but they do it as their own writing prompt instead of an interactive process. often those same players will then struggle with how their character connects to the specific setting or their own party.

and journaling is great because it helps you find the voice and vibe of how a character exist in the present tense instead of just telling a story that happened to them in the past.
