It takes 28 days to make (or break) a habit. (well 21-28 days depending on whom you listen to.)
I have spent 31 days doing something - making characters.
This is my second (and a half) year doing #CharacterCreationChallenge. My post-mortem this year will be a little different than last year.
As I expected, like last year, I woke up in a panic. You see, I do characters the day ahead, then post them up (and usually tinker some) on the appropriate day. So I finished it all "yesterday". True to form I woke up this morning in 12 seconds of panic going, "OMG what character am I going to post.".
Last year I went through "withdrawals" for the next week or so, maybe tinkering with a new character. I expected the same this year. It is okay. I have a plan.
The Challenge Continues.
There are three levels of Challenge I propose. Choose the one that works for you.
1) The Perfect Challenge Response would be 334 characters, until January 1st. This is the platonic ideal. It is mostly unsustainable, though if we average it out... it might be possible.
2) The Best Challenge Response is 48 more characters, one for each week until January. That way we keep the form up, without pushing life hard.
3) The Target Challenge Response is 70 more characters, bringing one and a half characters a week (a total of 101 if you did January), until January 1st.
4) Supportive Challenge Response is 11 more characters, one per month until January 1st.
The challenge starts 02/01/2023 ... but join any time.
These will be "average numbers". Some weeks you will do more, some weeks less. Th,e target is to get as close to the chosen challenge number as you can. Each player of this game will keep track of their own numbers, My #3, My week 05, or somesuch. They should also list the game and version they are doing the character for.
Characters can be of any system or setting as appropriate. They can be character exercises or you could be filling out a location or setting. Since we are not pushing for one a day, each one should have a nice bit of conception, history, and some description.
If you don't make it, fine. There is no penalty for failure. You will have some NPCs/ characters made. That will be useful. Also: You will still show off games or setting you like - that others might not know. You can play with "the game of the moment". It is a place to put characters you make. (A double posting in game-specific threads might happen and it is okay by me.)
I am doing #3, Target Challenge.
This year I will not have those withdrawals. I assume you won't either.
