}when the player is new to the game. imo, it's as much the GM's fault
}as the player's when a character is created with no or minimal
}background.
The GM should set the baseline for character history creation. ie
if the party already has 3 active enviromentalists, he / she / it
could suggest that prehaps 4 in the group is 1 to many. (Unless he /
she / it is running an eco-terrorist shadow campaign.). What I
ususally do when generating a new character, is play the character
for two or three games before generating the history, if nothing else
it allows me time to work out some of the kinks in the character.
Things like contacts etc are set though during the actual character
generation and the history end usually approxmately a few days before
the character meets the group.
