Now then, everyone else will be doing this Challenge more or less 'correctly'. There will be variations of course but by the end of January, it's a pretty solid bet that the rest of the participants will end up with 31 brand-new characters. My take on the Challenge, as always, is going to be a wee bit different.

Originally I planned a themed month; Dead Characters. You read that right; every entry would have featured a character who had died in their respective campaigns. 

While I still think the idea is interesting, it's not really what I want to do. I've thought about it and I want to celebrate the new year on a more creative and positive note. So instead of old, deceased characters, I'll be writing up a lot more newly created characters than usual. We'll see how it goes but that's the plan.

Please join me won't you! 

Happy New Year Everyone!
