Just bought myself the WHFRP book, so I re-read this article, purely because it's the only hamster roleplaying stuff I'd ever seen before last friday. I realise it's not an ideal example of how to run a game.

But I noticed something Jonny mentioned about the rules, and perhaps someone can clear it up for me. In that version of the rules, there was apparently a system for giving characters a bit of personal history before they start the game. This feature seems to be missing in my version of the rulebook (or rather, it is there, but only as a very watery "Players should think about their characters' pasts). Is this something they've taken out, or was that an unofficial addition to begin with.

And while I have the attention of veterans to this system, is there anything else I should know?
