Great app for T5 character generation
This greatly simplifies character generation as a player and a referee. If you are struggling to put together how character generation works for Traveller 5, this will help you out.
Nice to see the updates since I last reviewed it. The app hasn’t crashed for me and it provides a nice variety of sophont options during character creation.

Superb Tool
Art Gorski consistently provides excellent Traveller tools, especially in the Traveller 5 space. This app is no exception. My only wishes are for creature comforts. Things like an “Undo” or “Go Back” feature for when I’ve misclicked, and perhaps a way to manually override some settings. For example, my wife had already rolled her stats, and it would’ve been nice to be able to enter these directly and carry on from there. Otherwise, very very pleased! I recommend any T5 players have this app at the table.

Lots of fun
This app simplifies character creation greatly. I have created over 200 individual characters with this app and will likely top 1000 as it makes the creation process fun and easy. It can get frustrating when it crashes but I see in developer comments that this is being resolved. I have noticed that lately campaign ribbons are no longer earned during creation but seem to be replaced by Exemplary Service Ribbons. As a veteran, I like that it offered campaign ribbons as those are like a road map....tell where a veteran has been. Also, looking for mentoring feature in future update. Love the app, thank you so very much.

Great app, but it needs updates
This greatly simplifies character generation as a player and a referee. However it crashes around 50% of the time partway through.

Response from developer
Working on an update now with lots of corrections and enhancements. I’ll be looking for the source of the crash.
Endurance Instead of Vigor
After trying the app a few times, I still do not agree that Vargr should use Vigor. Even if the player rolls a J (18), a 2D Check Endurance forces the Vargr to roll 2D against a 9 or less, and that’s only if you max out the C3 Characteristic, (even if you can get the dice to roll three 6s, an very slim chance).
Suggestion: Provide a toggle for C2, C3, C5, and C6, allowing the player to modify the sophont for their Traveller Universe.
Suggestion: Bold or Italicize Skill-0 as skills all Travellers have
Suggestion: Allow Vargr sub-species Sophont Cards: Aekhu, Akumgeda, Gvegh, Irilitok, Kokasha, Logaksu, Nakagun, Ovaghoun, Roth Thokken, Suedzuk, Urzaeng.
Suggestion: Allow Talents to be toggled on/off for non-humans, e.g. Awareness-N for Suedzuk, Rage-N for Urzaeng and Ovaghoun
But for human-centric Travellers, this app will suffice.
