Character Creation Challenge

 I recently saw that Character Creation Challenge is set for January. This is a challenge where every day of January you make a new table top rpg character. You can use the same system for all of your characters or you can use it as an opportunity to explore a variety of systems.

I have heard of this before and have felt intrigued. But I guess I also feel mixed. Part of me feels like it would be fun. I currently have access to 8 roleplaying game character creation rules. Most of them I haven't used before. But part of me also feels like it could turn into a burden especially as character creation can be a pretty involved process depending on how seriously you take it. I guess the problem is that sometimes I probably wouldn't feel like doing it. Then it is kind of like a choice of whether I am going to pump out a low effort character just to keep the challenge going or if I am going to skip it and feel some guilt that I set out on this challenge and didn't finish it. 

Part of me also feels a bit mixed about committing to table top character creation just because I have been more hipped on video games lately. Part of me would like to do a challenge more around that. But I guess one of the nice things about the character creation challenge is just that it has gotten some attention and people are spreading the word. So it would feel more like I was participating in something rather than just going my own way doing my own thing.

I guess one solution would be to include video game character creation processes as part of the challenge. Video game character creation can still be fairly involved but it is generally less so than table top game creation processes.

 So, basically at this point I am just kind of considering it. I kind of like the idea and have kind of been looking for a goal. I still have a few days to consider it or maybe come up with an alternative.
