Whereas this is precisely what works best for me. I've found I'm quite good at looking at a large sample of random data and building settings and stories by free association of suitable samples (the massive UPP lists in the several Traveller incarnations, which in the beginning I considered a waste of space, turned out to be one of the most useful parts of the books for me). The HotP is perfect for that.
