First In star and world generator
Is there a star and world generator for the GURPS Traveller First In? Did anyone write one?
By this I mean software that will generate a system and worlds.

Re: First In star and world generator
I don't think there is one specifically made for Traveller First-In, but here is the link to the free tools from SJGames that would have GURPS Space versions:
http://www.sjgames.com/general/gm-aids.html Have you tried the Heaven & Earth Traveller application? I believe it'll generate star systems in the traditional Traveller way using Traveller rules (I think pre-Mongoose era): http://www.downport.com/wbd/HEAVEN_&_EARTH.htm I found a newer Python version for GURPS Space star generator that looks promising as well: https://github.com/tschoppi/starsystem-gen |

Re: First In star and world generator
just out of curiosity - what are you looking to do with the program? Randomly generate worlds? Take input in the form of the sector data from TRAVELLERMAPS.COM?

Re: First In star and world generator
May I ask whether there is a particular reason that you would prefer a software based on GURPS Traveller First In over one based on GURPS Space 4th edition? They are basically similar, and the GURPS Space one is more refined.

I prefer the First In method for generating world data over that of GURPS SPACE. I don't like the bode law method of orbital generation and liked the method used in TRAVELLER 2300 as well as GURPS SPACE. I like the rules for gas giant generation in GURPS SPACE. I like the rules for determining tainted atmosphere probabilities in GURPS SPACE. What I like from Jon's newer stellar characteristics is that garden world generation requires higher mass stars that largely limit it to G and K main sequence stars. It would not surprise me if the original poster has his own thoughts about GURPS SPACE vs GURPS TRAVELLER: FIRST IN and desire the latter over the former. Last edited by hal; 03-10-2019 at 10:51 AM.

Re: First In star and world generator
I wanted my planet stats to be Traveller stats since I was using this for a CT game.
