Pre-Gen Characters

So, I'm at a bit of a lost. One of my D&D groups changed meeting days and times and I had to bow out because Friday is Date Night and I don't see a lot of my boyfriend during the week. I'm bummed as I like the people in the group and I was fond of my character and at 5th level in 5e, things start getting good.

I found this group through MeetUp, but the latest meetings posted all have pre-gen characters and I'm just not wild about the idea. I've played with pre-gen at a convention and it was okay, but even when you know the system it takes a while to get acquainted.

Thoughts?

groups and DMs who use pre-gen characters to keep the players from disturbing his or her delicately planned plot, and that's just not fun.

and THAT is what I am most afraid of. I decided to take a chance on a game-system generated template from Shadowrun, so we'll see how that goes. Templates are a bit different and I've done okay there in Star Wars D6.

I too think that templates are the better option. Hope it all works out for you. I've never played Star Wars D6, but the Shadowrun templates are pretty solid. Happy gaming!
