I like the term "zero-prep campaign". I think I want to use that now. I've also had the most fun with those, although planning ahead can be very rewarding in its own right.
It's solely dependent on the person and their experiences. I know I personally aged a lot from 16 to 18, but some people mature a little faster, some a little slower. Some not at all.
I think 18 is a decent starting cap, but for some people 16 is their 18, and for some it's their 14 or even 13. So it's hard to say.
The manipulation comment is based on my own experiences with teens I've known, so it's subject to bias.
Thanks for all the love for my orange boy in my last post! Did you know that he was a package deal? This is Charlie and his twin brother... Bambi!
