Lifepath character generation for GT

[mike wightman]

Has anyone come up with a way for generating a GT character using the Traveller lifepath method?

Could T20 character genertation be adapted somehow to give character points with which to build the character - bonuses and penalties due to promotion or failed survival, mustering out benefits etc.?

Would it be easier to use the CT charts?

Is it a stupid idea altogether?

I'll try asking over at the SJGs website then

While doing so I had another thought.

Would T2300/2300AD or TNE character generation be a better starting point?

I think it was the d20 version of Big Eyes Small Mouth that came up with a point system for d20. One of the Anime ones, I'm sure of it. Adapting that to the T20 Prior History may be tough, tho.

Didn't someone (Chris Thrash, maybe?) write a lifepath generator for GT for JTAS online?

Tom Schoene provided me with a link to the article you may be refering to - it's by Robert M. Brown all the way back in 1998 (which is long before I had found JTAS online ).

I'm still thinking more along the lines of each term providing so many CPs to spend, with promotion, decoration, special duty, survival - failed rolls could provide disadvantages.
