Thank you for digging up the noob guide! This will help me.
I have some questions about it.
>No or minimal character backstories. All new characters share the desire to become rich and powerful. The XP-for-gold rule is all the drive PCs need as motivation for joining an adventuring party. Don't make a backstory that's more interesting than the adventure to follow.
>No character customisation options, or very minimal ones at the most. Players should not invest a significant part of their energy and expectations on character customisation. Focus instead on offering players real freedom when it comes to sandbox play.
What's wrong with backstroies and customization? Isn't it interesting to list WHY your character is greedy and power-hungry? And for customization, isn't class selection customization?
