Mine player answers for plot hooks, encounter ideas, and even entire adventure seeds for your RPG campaigns.  \nThe character questionnaire can be changed without much effort for different genres and types of details, as well. So feel free to exclude or modify survey questions and create a character survey that suits your group.  \nCharacter depth comes from player introspection. Prod your players to put a little thought into their player characters and character traits. This will pay you a lot of dividends as your campaigns progress.  \nYou can use your character questionnaire’s answers to design around character drives, roleplay off character details, and engage players beyond mere numbers.  \nFor brevity, I cut out most follow-up explanation type RPG character questions, such as “Why”,“how come”, and so on. Feel free to attach a “why” question after any item in the questionnaire to generate more details from your players.  \nIntroductory Character Questions  \n1.
