Traveller NPC CharGen

Traveller NPC CharGen is a Windows program for generating NPCs, based on rules from Mongoose Traveller First Edition and Traveller 5.10.

Notes

Traveller NPC CharGen is being developed using Python 3.11 and PyQt5.

Requirements

• Windows 11

  It will also work with Windows 10.

Executing

Run the .EXE for Windows 11 to start.

This program generates characters (using brute force) until a character is made that best matches the chosen settings. It is possible to get stuck in an infinite loop if the chosen settings are unlikely to generate a character. Simply use CTRL+C to exit out of the program.

During chargen, raw CSV and JSON files are created in the data folder. The raw files can be used by CSV and JSON readers to mine for data. The last character recorded in the raw files will be the one generated by the app.
