Hey, /tg/, let's go on an adventure! I even have a party all rolled up!
>Vestivus, the human bard. She's fresh faced and eager to learn of the world, but unsure of herself in a fight
>age: 22
>level: 1st
>Gilnfro, the dwarven fighter. he's a grizzled, battle hardened warrior who doesn't suffer fools well and drinks constantly. He's been fighting for millenia, and has fought in battles which raged for days
>age: 538
>level: 1st
>Thilmautor, the elven warlock. A powerful magic user, she has seen many ages come and go, like the rolling tide upon a beach. A seasoned adventurer, she has seen horrors that would make the bravest of human men cry to think of facing them
>age: 1,205
>level: 1st
>Elmjoy, the halfling rogue. He spends most of his time drinking, eating, and laying around his hobbit home, but occassionally likes to steal apples from Mrs. MacGregor (the scamp)!
>age: 48
>level: 1st
My plan for the campaign is for them to all go to fight some goblins (an equal threat to all of them, to be sure), maybe face an ogre oe something, and maybe they'll ALL even gain their 2nd level! Who knows! Man, it sure is exciting dealing with novice, completely untrained adventurers!

There is literally nothing wrong with this.

Why can't you just say "my players don't know how to write backstories that reflect their level" and not be passive aggressive about it.

Those are Dwarf years, which are 10 times as long as not-Earth years.

Maybe because it's immersion breaking for the centuries ancient elf and dwarf to be on the same level as the human and halfling that have essentially spent first couple of decades playing woth themselves? Even ignoring the specific backstories, the that elves and dwarfs (and to a lesser degree halflings) all start at the same level is kind of ridiculous. Are all elves just maxi-tards? How fucking long does it take them to learn to use a bow? It's ridiculous

>novice, completely untrained adventurers
I'd just like to unleash my autism on this one since no one else has picked it up yet.
1st level is NOT novice and completely untrained. Most humans, even the ones in dangerous and adventurous situations, are either 0-level 1d6 HD dudes or level 1 NPC classes, depending on the edition.
A first level fighter is already a veteran.

No thanks, I don't play from level 1.

How much experience does it take to get to level 1?

Sure! Oops, random encounter time!
You are ambushed by four feral housecats! Since nobody detected them, they get a free round of attacks on your flatfooted characters.
(One round later)
Sorry Thilmautor, guess you'll just have to roll up a new character...

Yes but I happen to have a bag of mice nearby that they should have gone for instead.
Why do I have mice? Well, I mean, they were only 1 cp and I still had a bunch left over after buying my gear so I just figured..

Alright then, level appropriate encounter time! You are strolling through the woods, when you spy a lizard sitting on a rock. Roll for initiative!
