Chargen Flowcharts

[alex_greene]

Having seen the chargen flowchart in the latest iteration of the CRB, I am reminded of those lines from the movie Dune in the Eighties.
"Many men have tried."
"They tried and failed?"
"They tried and died."
So I thought I'd drop my own personal, utterly and sublimely heretical take on chargen here. Pic is mostly unrelated, but it's one way of imagining how your Travellers all get to know one another after chargen. Thanks to Atlas Games for the pic.

Nice to see I'm not the only one who still loves plain text.

Plain text is good and useful for some stuff.

What are the highest skill ranks this generates in actual use? 2-3, 5-6, something else?

Though that picture does push things a little Over the Edge.

Good point. I never said anything about capping skills, either at a maximum level for an individual skill or indeed capping your total number of levels of skills. I'll get back to you as to whether this was a deliberate or an accidental omission. Meantime, if anyone feels that they need to cap their Travellers' skills, please do so. Bear in mind that if they want to improve their skills in play from 4 to 5, each skill would take what feels like more than a year of solid study to complete, so ... smoke 'em while you got 'em.
