Necros, I showed the pdfs to my group. While they loved what you did, many of them found that, when the sheets were printed up, the lettering in the steps was too small to read effectively--it blended into the black and was difficult to distinguish. Is there a way to increase the font size to something more readable?
Sure!

What I find most frustrating about 4E is that I can see it includes the D&D game I've always wanted to play, but the game is so lathered in tatical combat rules that I have thus far been unable to coax the game I want out.

Excellent work friend!
Hope you dont mind that I used this format for my new 4e campy. My friends very much enjoyed it and now all have rich and interesting back'rounds with out the hastle of 4 page Point presentations. Yes I have actually had a PC do that, with entire history and geneology. Crazy.
May I make a suggestion to your little fun and exciting 10 min work shop?
I have asked the PC's during their back'roounds to add 3 memories.
Examples:
As a child I remember my father owning this big purple crystal of sorts that he talked to.
As a young adult for some reason Dwarves did not like me.
A year ago in city X two halflings dressed in red kept following me around.
Just very simple memories if the PC wants to get involved thats fine. But these memories give the PC a dash more context on where they might have been and history, and on the flip side it gives the DM a huge tool for future story lines or side bar quests.
Hope it helps, and thanks again for the fun!

Lots and lots of bumping in this thread huh?
I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do this and then reading my mind (okay okay you read that one guys post) and making a pdf so I wouldn't have to write all these steps down.
This is exactly what me and some friends were just talking about. We all jumped right into 4E without much thought into character or setting and now we're all yearning for that little something more. Just that bit of flavor that makes our characters and places somewhere wonderful to be. You've helped that flow just a little faster and I appreciate it.

That's always a pleasure to hear! Thanks! :D

Stolen! Love it. It's hard to find nuggets like these on the forums sometimes, but it's pleasant when I do. Thanks!

I've given my players the task of filling out your background questions, and it's been the easiest and most painless thing ever. Integrating their desires and character histories into the story arc has never been easier.
It's like a source material feast.
