Random Trait Table


In the Star Frontiersman Issue #03 Bill Logan featured a random trait table from the article "Fleshing out your Character".

Also included in the article was the following example:
For example, if you roll a 25 and a 98 then your character smells of exotic spices, perhaps from the food of his homeland or from some favored cologne or perfume, and is world-weary, perhaps because he’s traveled a great deal or hates layovers. He sighs and rolls his eyes at the prospect of long trips. This helps build an image of a character who’s exotic and has been everywhere, perhaps has friends or enemies on some worlds.


Below I have created a random trait generator. The possibilities are a single trait, dual traits and triple traits.

Starport Layovers

When your characters are stuck on a starport, what do they see? Surely it’s not quiet. Spacers of all sorts, rubbing shoulders and doing whatever it is that spacers do when not shooting at pirates and Sathar.

Referees can use the following generator to add some depth to a group’s stay at port. Use this generator as desired: once per day, once per stay at port, or just throw those dice whenever you think it’s a lull in the action and fun. Any of these could evolve into a subplot or entire adventure.

Consider making a very light or non-existant background and discovering your character through role-play.
