And then you're competing against all the cool ideas everyone else had at the company meeting.
You're in a writing room. Folks are pitching their idea for a new origin character.
You have this really swell idea for a character. Well thought out, interesting person.

There's even some talk about putting together a focus group of players to test Bobby-Boy's character idea versus yours. They're looking to see which idea the focus group has more fun with.
How do you think you do?
