Welcome to the new COTI server. We've moved the Citizens to a new server. Please let us know in the COTI Website issue forum if you find any problems.
We, the systems administration staff, apologize for this unexpected outage of the boards. We have resolved the root cause of the problem and there should be no further disruptions.
Phase A does not include the playrrs creating characters. The demo game is going to be run a bit like a convention event: pregenerated characters and a 3-4 hour time limit.
Phase B would involve interested players creating their own characters for a campaign.
The CharGen program I'm writing for Traveller uses the Mongoose Core Rulebook. I'm not too worried about the Injury Table because it doesn't come up all the time. I think it's cool when it does come up, depending on the careers a character has gone through. The program's audit trail highlights a character's life nicely. It gives enough detail for a player to use as the character's background story, before a game even starts.
And if I don't like a character, the computer spits out another one for me. It also generates the player's homeworld as part of the character's background history.
I have characters dying all the time just from aging if a STR 4 is rolled to start with. The interesting characters that end up dying from severe injuries, I can still use as NPCs by backing up a term.
