I go for mechanics. I'm not a huge flavor guy, but I get interested with mechanical concepts and want to see how it works out and if I can make favorable combinations. I haven't played enough 2e to know how well that works, but that's more or less what I've always done with TTRPGs.
Looking forward to checking this spot out, I got sold on Mastodon when the bird site went cuckoo, and TTRPGs are one of my main draws to Reddit, so maybe this is perfect timing?
Mechanics or flavour first?
When you're making a character, do you prefer to start with the mechanics, backstory, or aesthetics first?...
