# Concepting a Character Game masters all have different methods for helping players generate characters, and many experienced players have already established habits for how they approach coming up with a character idea. Here, I present an approach, which seems to work well with the Universal Gaming System. Since this system is rather different from many standard ones, I recommend at least trying this one before deciding not to use it. You may find at least some of its concepts useful. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
