2026 Character Creation Challenge - A Late Start and New Plan

There's been a dearth of 2026 Character Creation Challenge entries on this blog. I have a plan to fix that. Is it a good plan? Ask me in February.

I'm mostly recovered from an illness that put me down for the last days of 2025 and much of 2026 so far. And by "illness" I don't mean "had the sniffles" or was a little tired. I was either sick in bed or indulging in prayer while on the toilet. I didn't test positive for either the flu or the infamous thing with the number in it. Plans for New Year's were abandoned and I'm behind on everything.

Regarding the 2026 Character Creation Challenge, I reviewed the rules and I have developed a plan. The only relevant requirement is 31 characters - one for each day of January. So I'm going to churn out and post multiple characters per day until I make the target number.

That means two things - simpler systems and groups of characters. Simpler games that I'm already familiar with makes character creation easier. Making multiple characters based on a theme - an adventuring party or spaceship crew, for example - also speeds things up.

That's the plan. Let's see how long it survives contact with reality.
