I died in c-gen!

[pyat]

I rolled up two Traveller characters the other day. It was an interesting process. The first one was a Scout Service Bureaucrat with medical training, and the second an Imperium Naval Gunner.

The first guy (a pudgy blue collar genius) died at the age of 29 during assignment to a field mission. The second (a burly, though clumsy, fellow from the upper classes) died at the age of 22, during a planetary siege.

Ah, fun times.

HOL and it's supplement to make it playable, Buttery HOLsomeness, had a part in char-gen where you could die. Roll bad and you get "Cornholed by God." Of course, at the opposite end of that chart was, "You ARE the Second Coming...."

That was a fun book to read, but I can't imagine anyone actually playing it. :)

Ooh, yeah. HOL. I had that. :) And I know people who played it, they just didn't play it for very long.
