Is it so bad to have an edgy background?
Doesn't it just make it make more sense as to why an adventurer would be so eager to get up and walk away from their home?
What are your opinions on the "edgy" backstory
Edit: it seems there's a consensus that "tragic" backstories are fine as long as the player is not "edgy" in the gameplay.
Lone-wolf is bad.
Sad boy is okay as long as he doesn't drag the table down.
I like to think of dnd and other ttrpgs as a team sport so that makes sense.
