Character Creation Walkthrough

[tadkelson]

Is there a Character Creation Walkthrough somewhere?
Looking for like a Here is Frank a new Character and this is what happens as he is created before his adventures begin.
I have read a few times through the Creating A Traveller 2 page spread in the pdf but just not sinking in this time around for some reason.
Thanks in advance.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

His name is Jamison.

Alexander Lascelles Jamison.

Welcome back, commander

Here, Seth Skorkowsky talks through a full 6-term creation of his Jack Miller character (aka Jack the NPC) :

also checkout the CharGen flowcharts that are linked in the video's description.

There is also RPGSuite that is an interactive character creation that is free allowing humans and the basic careers to be created and for an additional charge will allow other races and careers. Can get it at rpgsuite.com.

Warning - some of the Character generation videos on you tube get things wrong (not Seth's though)

I have this and use it for NPC's a lot. Especially when the players want to hire crew. A completed character sheet makes a great "interview" pool. (throwaway goons are just 7's and skill 1 or 2 in whatever)
It does help new players by walking them through the process and recording their life events.
I'm not sure if it was an add-on or not, but you can edit the character sheets after creation, so racial stats and image can be changed out.
My characters are old school and prefer to roll their own dice, so it's just used for quick NPC's at our table.

Especially if the GM allows the use of psionics shows the process on to get the different psi powers.
