Speaking of character background, how important do you GM's out there make the
charcter background? For example, a fellow player in a game I'm in died, and
wants to be a gunsmith with 4 chem glands. . . .it took a long discussion to make
him realize he didn't have a good reason to be such a character, so he changed
concepts. So, what I'm asking is, if a player comes to you with an outrageous
idea that seems to have no plausable reason to be, how do you react? Deny the
idea? Make them come up with good reasons? Smile and nod? Oh, and while I ask,
what odd concepts have you players gotten away with, and how?
