# Classic Traveller Chargen
This is a character generator for [the 1981 edition of the classic Traveller role-playing game](https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/355200/classic-traveller-facsimile-edition) as defined in the Book 1 (and Book 2 if the character is lucky enough to earn a starship).
By necessity, the generator is opionated because the generation process includes multiple decision points. While these are not necessarily the most optimized choices, they should anyway be quite reasonable.
## Roadmap
This project will also include Subsector and World Generation as defined in Book 3. See `src/worldgen.ts`.
## Installation
```bash
npm i
```
## Running
This project uses [Parcel](https://parceljs.org/) and can be run locally using an NPM script
```sh
npm start
```
## Building
```bash
npm run build
```
This builds the project to `dist/`.
