A NOTE FROM JAN
before the first game
Looking forward to playing a character can be reason enough to want their picture.
You might still be checking how one of their abilities works. Meanwhile, you already have an opinion about the coat they wear.
You get to see the person you're looking forward to playing. Their name has a face beside it before the first introduction at the table.
A new character can be quite particular already. Maybe you know the expression they'll try to keep when they're nervous. Or you've chosen a piece of clothing you can picture them wearing every day.
Playing will add things. You may come to picture them differently after a few sessions, and a portrait from the beginning can still be a version you like having.
It doesn't need to predict every part of who they'll become.
