#5490 Sports in Traveller

Wasn't there an article in one of the 'zines about making characters who
were professional atheletes rather than military enlistees?  All the skills
they might learn were physically oriented, although there were probably
a few admin/streetwise type skills thrown in too.  It probably listed
all the future-sports that the authors could think of.

I know the article was for regular Traveller (circa 1984) but I don't
recall where I saw it exactly.  I really wish I hadn't lost it, since
a few of my players have a hard time identifying with military characters.
(I know now that all we had to do was switch to MEGATraveller!) :-)

It was in the Ares Section of Dragon magazine. If anyone wants more
info I have the issue at home somewhere, I could look it up. It was a
Basic Traveller Character generation system. Not advanced like High
Guard or Merc. Let me know if anyone wants more information.
