A GURPS Tech Level Generator

[GilliganIII]

This is a Tech Level Generator I built in Open Office Calc and I thought some of you might like it.

Tell me what you think and if there are any errors or corrections that could be made. Questions are of course welcome as well.

I added words telling which Ages the Tech Levels indicate.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to hearing them.

It says I need to request access.

[GilliganIII]

I think it should be fixed.

I can now access it, but things don't seem to be lined up right. Do I have to change my settings to get the rows in the right order?

What are you supposed to do with it?

[GilliganIII]

The generator is a way to come up with a completely random tech level.
The final tech level for each type should be at the far right end of each sheet.

To use it I suggest making a copy first, then enter a random symbol in any blank space to cause the sheet to recalculate. You can do it again by simply deleting the symbol.

If anyone wants me to make separate areas to generate specific types I can.

You generate alternate worlds and isolated planets with it for your game. Or you use it as a setting-building prompt.

Seriously, I've got two random tech level generators I use myself, and that's what I use them for.

• Sometimes I need a new world for infinite worlds.
• Sometimes I need a world for a space-hopping game and I need inspiration
• Sometimes I want to build an entirely new setting and I want something to kickstart my creative process

Those are the three places I end up using random tech level generators.
