Character Creation
  1. Notes

Character Creation

Character generation in Traveller uses the unique "Lifepath" system, meaning you're creating a characters' backstory as you go.

However, treat it like a Roguelike game. Given the dangers of space, and the default path of military careers during a time of war, it's quite possible for a character to die in character creation. This isn't your fault and is part of the fun, simply start a new run!

In this regard character generation is like a small push-your-luck mini-game of Darwinism. 


You may die after rolling for many years of service, end up lucky and survive with great rewards and stats, or you may bumble your way through the start of a career and switch to an adventurer.

Please still provide James with info on characters who died (or you didn't like), as they can still have existed in-universe
