This is a character generator for the 1981 edition of the classic Traveller role-playing game as defined in the Book 1 (and Book 2 if the character is lucky enough to earn a starship).
By necessity, the generator is opionated because the generation process includes multiple decision points. While these are not necessarily the most optimized choices, they should anyway be quite reasonable.
This project will also include Subsector and World Generation as defined in Book 3. See src/worldgen.ts.
npm iThis project uses Parcel and can be run locally using an NPM script
