Freelance Traveller

Traveller is practically unique in that character generation is almost a game in itself. The process of generating a character recognizes the passage of time and its effects, and events early in the process can affect those that come after.

Nevertheless, there are those who have felt that the officially presented process is incomplete or otherwise deficient, and they have chosen to modify or expand on that process in some way.
