But that betting element during character creation is there, of course. I don’t know if many people play that way, however. People click on generators until they get a character they like, I fear. I started thinking about a short Traveller replacement based on conversations with Frotz. I never had any concrete plans and so it never went anywhere. https://alexschroeder.ch/pdfs/Halbardier.pdf
