The prep work is largely finished for the Storyteller and the characters already have ties to each other. I agree that these make great convention demo characters.

These products seem tailor-made for that application, and that's a good thing. I feel like a lot of RP is happening at conventions, in one-shot formats.

My group is a like yours -- full of busy adults with either very short or one-shot stories. Also, we have made screwing around to an art form and trying to get everyone to concentrate while rolling up a character is, well, like herding cats. We just don't have the attention span for it -- we want to have fun, now. Problem is, we also appreciate a good story. Personally, I think the Ready Made Characters is a godsend. Great way to jump in without the time sink of rolling a good character with a back story. Seems to me to be a good way to get the best of both worlds.
