It is just amazing how the character creation is basically an RPG by itself.
More please! Traveller Character creation is an entertaining mini-game in and of itself!
I have never played traveller. I have spent a month first setting up the sol system, designing a ship, and creating 60 individual characters that will live and work aboard the Republic of Sols first warp capable cruiser to go beyond our universe.
Awesome video... I'm really looking forward to playing in this game!
FYI: your character is also entitled to (3+EDU DM) background skills, so he's got 2 more lvl 1 skills coming (there's your Blade Combat)!
Yeah, that was in the original take but I accidentally left it out of the one here. I am firing the editors!
Besides the background skills already mentioned, you do get a skill selection roll after basic training.
Really?
"For your first career only, instead of rolling for a skill, you get all the skills listed on the Service Skills table at level 0 as your basic training. For subsequent careers, you may pick any one skill listed in the Service Skills table at level 0 as your basic training."
That to me suggests that basic training is always instead of, not in addition to, the normal skills from a term. (But you can still get a further skill if you succeed in advancement.)
Two points: 1. there are two kinds of RPG players. Beer and coffee. He indicates that he's beer. 2. Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS - He is Windows.
Very enjoyable video and character creation walkthrough. Thank you.
I would watch you make random characters, just for the Hell of it! Very entertaining and informative. Especially your insight as a GM.
If he used is Soc for the attribute for the Persuasion check, he would have had a +1
As soon as I saw those stats, I immediately thought of Amos Burton from The Expanse.
To me that says Cavalry Officer but Chinless Wonder is also a valid career however his Int and Edu are a bit high for both.
Nice, thank you. Never played Traveller before, but does remind me a bit of a game Iam playing now called Stellar Tactics, available on GOG and Steam. Very Baldurs Gate oldschool like, but in a Sci-Fi theme and with open world random generated mechanics.
I'm told that Stellar Tactics is very Traveller-esque.
@@ardwulfslair Yes, that´s why I made the comment ;-) Just finished playing a few min. ago. 8hrs. in-game and I just got off to space for the first time. Game is big! You might like it, and GOG has a 30 day refund, so if you don´t, you get your money back. Not that it´s to expensive either.
My understanding is that results on the Events table don't end your career unless specifically stated, while mishaps from failed Survival rolls _do_ , unless specifically stated. But I could be wrong, since a result of 2 on the Events table says "roll on the Mishap table, but you are not ejected from this career" and this result does not say that.
I believe this is correct. On the To Do List is a new video using the 2022 update rules, so we can cover this in proper detail.
War of the Suns on your table? Very cool.
Please do more. I love this, cant wait to play
Very late to the punch but wouldn’t the high SOC have given him the extra pip needed to get into university?
I think it would also modify the Persuade checks, but might not make a difference with some of those rolls.
@@HeadHunterSix
Two years man, but also I don’t think you use your stats for Character Creation skill checks. They just use the skill mod.
@@gma5607 could be. I know I'm late to this but I'm just getting back into Traveller. ;)
Nice!
I’ll be sure to point people to this one when I get my Chargen video up.
Thanks! Really enjoying your playthrough videos!
2nd attempt, love it, please do more :)
what are his background skills? right after the characteristics rolls you skipped it, two more skills at 0 could be usefull for him :)
Yep. The ones based on homeworld.
I totally love this traveller Charakter creation. But everytime I do this, I habe trouble about "what table do I have to roll in?" or "does it end my career?".
Forgot the background skills
It sounds like this character is a hambo; strong, pretty and dumb.
Thanks you for this. I found the creation a little confusing!
background skills?...
Hello! Very good video! What is that pdf document of the rulebook? It doesn't look the way mine does (I have the 2022 update)?
This is the core rulebook, but it's the older, MgT2 original core book. I don't think there are any substantial changes in the character creation rules in the 2022 version, but I'm probably due to do a fresh one of these anyway.
Sock?
It's bugging me more than it ever should but why the hell not just write 11? like when people write 2 instead of to. Not to mention B looks like 8
