VENTURE PLAYERS: I would appreciate any feelings you have on this matter too.
I know that most players have developed a concise history for their characters, however sometimes a plot comes up that might require a here-to-fore absent aspect of a character...
Perhaps an unlisted stint aboard a freighter for 3 weeks, or old relationship with someone...
I an wondering what most narrators do in these circumstances, do you discuss with the player concerned and make additions, or simply drop the surprise onto them.
Also how do most players feel? Would you prefer the advance warning, or simply enjoy these additions as an opportunity to round off a character?
Please, all opinions and discussion should prove interesting and useful...
