An RCG is a list of various character attributes that each correspond to a different number on a different dice. For example, a D20 (10 sided dice) might have a list of potential archetypes, such as\u00a0Hero, Rebel, Warrior, Destroyer, Buffoon.<\/i>\u00a0Next, a D12 would have a list of genres or eras to pick from, i.e.\u00a0Gothic, Medieval, Cyberpunk, Civil War, Western.\u00a0<\/em>Then there would be a D8 with items for your character to hold, like a hamburger, a magic amulet, a rolled up newspaper, a bow and arrow, or a shrunken head! And finally, a simple D6 would determine the gender of your character–even for female, odd for male.<\/p>\n I used an RCG similar to the one I described and ended up landing these characteristics:\u00a0A female\u00a0Seeker\u00a0<\/em>in the\u00a0Gothic Era\u00a0<\/em>who carries a\u00a0Battle Axe<\/em>!<\/strong>\u00a0After some internal debate about the definition of “Seeker<\/em>“, I came up with this little lady! She’s yet to receive a name.<\/p>\n (Not gonna lie, I’m quite proud [and jealous] of that battle axe)<\/p>\n The point of RCGs is to boost your imagination and creativity, allowing you to get out of a art block you might be stuck in. If you sit down with the drive to create but just can’t think of WHAT to create, use an RCG! There’s tons of versions all over the internet, and you can even create your own!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you haven’t already been able to tell from many of the topics of my blog posts, I like art. A lot. I’m constantly sketching and doodling, everywhere on everything (just paper, don’t worry).
