This was the first book in the Central Casting series, and each one got progressively better as time went on.

Central Casting: Heroes of Legend is designed for creating detailed backgrounds for any fantasy-based role-playing game, including Dungeons&Dragons, 7 Seas, TORG, and Lord of the Rings. The books are designed to allow you to plot out significant events in your character's history from before birth through adulthood, and the personality ramifications of each encounter. You will need a complete set of dice, including d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20.

Though now out-of-print, with a little effort, you should be able to find a copy for $40-45.

I highly recommend buying a copy of this book to help whenever you are in need of assistance breaking through writer's block.

Happy gaming, and may the dice roll in your favor.

My husband and I use this series to flesh out the characters we create for our role-playing games, including Harn, WoW, IMVU and even D&D. It gives more depth and variety than you could ever get by just 'making up' a characters past, plus it enables you to create a character that stretches your roleplaying talents more, because it IS a character you would not have thought of. I could not imagine roleplaying without this book, or the other two in the series.
