Just got my copy of MegaTraveller in the mail last night.   WHEW!  It is going
to be a while before I can start writing software to gen characters for that
rule set..   Why in tarnation did they make everything so complicated???

I am somewhat disapointed with the new format.  Maybe I'm just an OT bigot.
I dunno.

On a different note:  Does anybody out there got any WORKABLE random name
generation programs/tables/whatever?   I'm also looking for some tables to
gen such stats as height, weight, eye color, etc.

I do not have a table in program format, but I do have one that I developed
for AD&D, it has a weighted height table, (weighted height table?) Giving you
an average height of 5'7". It is biased that way because I'm 5'6" so I
figured, since it was my world why not. Once height has been determined then
you use the height to determine the weight. The system keeps you from getting
6'11" 135LB characters. I once got a character that way. If you would like I can
post it or email it to you. I would have to type it in, but i am in the process
of putting my latest world on disk anyway, so i would have to do it eventually.

I also can come up with a system that uses the Traveller Strength, Dex,
Endurance, to modify height and weight. Should be able to have something
next week.

Greg
