TheGenerator's Character Generator

I tried that too, but can't get it to work. I think I'll have to do without.

There is only so much formatting we can do. We have no way of knowing how things will display on other peoples' machines, screens, or browsers, so anything fancy is asking for trouble. (I am very worried about the new F options.)

Here we go!
Stats time for Ronny

Until the dice get involved and say otherwise, feel free to shift your Characteristics around during Character Creation. So don't stress too much about there to initially put what.

I think I'm just keeping them as is. We'll see how that goes.

I feel like Ronny grew up on the streets. No real education to speak of, he had to get street smart. Lucky for him, he's got the brains for it and managed to set up a little gang of pickpockets.
Starting skills: Streetwise + Admin

Skipping pre-career education.
I'm going to try for Merchant (Free Trader) as my first career. Qualification: INT 4+

Yeah, they are keen to have bright young go-getters, you could not fail.

Who are your crew? Family? Friends? Strangers you signed on with?

What do you come from? What sort of world did you grow up on?

Answer what you can, leave the rest to see what comes up.

So, while fencing the stuff his little gang had stolen, he got a job offer from one of his buyers. Probably a shady company but he took it anyway.
I get service skills: Drive, Vacc Suit, Broker, Steward, Electronics and Persuade.
Going to roll on the Free Trader table.
Then I'll see if I survive (Dex 6+)

I'll have a think about those.
Looks like I got Streetwise so that goes to level 1
Let's see if I can advance (int +6).

Yep.
Rolling like a BOSS, but that does not make you the boss yet, still just an unnamed rank. At least you get Persuade from 0 to 1.

Where were these rolls 30 minutes ago??? -_-

Oh crap, I forgot to roll the events table.

Ok, so I advance from Crewman to Senior Crewman (must be a Mexican crew) nothing to nothing and it gives me Mechanic persuade 1
My roll on personal development gave me STR+1

Should I stop here and wait for Trailhead?

Event:
You have a chance to risk your fortune on a possibility lucrative deal. You may gamble a number
of Benefit rolls and roll Gambler 8+ or Broker 8+. If you succeed, you gain half as many Benefit
rolls as you risked, rounding up. If you fail, you lose all the rolls risked. Either way, gain one level in
whichever skill you used.

I'm not sure if I have any benefit rolls right now, but I could risk 1 of them for a level in Broker. Do you think that's worth it?

I thought you were a Free Trader? You are looking at the Merchant Marine Table there.
I think you should have 2? 1 for serving 1 Term (we an say it is 'served'), and 1 for being Rank 1-2. (Page 46).
I really could not say. That is up to you. I would do it, were it me.
1 does not seem like such a big loss, small enough that I might even think about rolling with Gambler (if you want the skill) since, even though you are likely to be throwing away a Benefit, you get it from -3 to +1. Just a thought.

I sure was! Corrected it
Alright, I'll go for it!, however my Broker is already at 0, so It's a +1. I could go for gambler to get the -3 to +1, but that also means my roll will have -3. Getting an 8+ with 2d6-3 seems rough.
I'm gonna flip a coin for it :D

I lose 1 benefit but gain level 1 Gambler

There was still a small chance of getting an 8+ with 2d6-3, and you would not have made it with Broker, anyway. :)

Gambling on Gambler seems apropos, especially gambling Benefits, since having that Gambler Skill now gives you +1 to ALL your (remaining) Cash Benefit rolls.

See, I told you my character had the brains ;)

Forgot to answer.

No, there is little point stopping and waiting --at least not waiting for them to do their [equal number] Term. Since we need to know the final Term before we can link up, and since this Event was not particularly likely to involve another PC anyway, I say move on.

Since I rolled a 12 on my advance, I have to keep being a trader

---

Term 2
No need to qualify, going to roll on the service skills table and see if I survive

I get a level of Vacc Suit (1)
Rolling event and advancement if needed
