What's the Character Creation Challenge? Here's where I introduced the last round: The 2025 Character Creation Challenge, Introduction.
The up to date post from TardisCaptain about the 2026 Character Creation Challenge is on the far end of this link: 2026 Character Creation Challenge.
My planning for the challenge has progressed from "better than nothing" and "concepts of a plan" to the "half-baked harebrained scheme" phase. I have a provisional list of games, ideas for some characters, and a few ideas from the last time that I'm repurposing for next year's go around.
Provisional List of Games:
13th Age (1e)
Ashen Stars
Conan
D&D 4e
Deep Dark Blue (Fate Core)
Five Parsecs From Home
Gamma World (1e)
Ghost Worlds (Fate Core)
Infinity of Ships
Lancer
Mothership
Night's Black Agents
OSE Advanced
Star Trek Adventures (1e)
Star Wars (West End Games)
Tachyon Squadron
Timewatch
This list is "provisional" because I may add or subject games depending on how things are going and whatever whim I'm following at the moment.
As an example of a new take on a slightly used idea, "create a starship crew" worked great for Star Trek Adventures last time. But I don't want to do it again for the Star Trek setting. So I'm thinking of extending the idea to Ashen Stars, Five Parsecs From Home, and West End Games' Star Wars RPG.
As with the previous time around, I'll be posting each character here on this blog, on the RPG.net forum thread dedicated to the challenge, on Bluesky, and on Mastodon.
For anybody contemplating taking part in this madness, here's a couple of handy links.
