The Tabletop Games Thread Reads Your Backstory (3/25/26)

Welcome back to the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!

Discussion Prompt: How much backstory is too much backstory for your TTRPG player character? Where’s the happy medium between the “amnesia-stricken orphan” and the “protagonist of a self-published novella”? Does it depend on whether your planning a character for a simple one-shot vs a long-term campaign?

If you would like to suggest a prompt or contribute a write-up or discussion topic of your own, let me know in the comments!
