You may have a robot, a computer, and a spaceship, but do you have a crewman? Simply use The Random Spaceship Crewman Generator to recruit (or press into service) a qualified crewman for your spaceship. Fill out a name, gender, age, nationality, species, and background story, and your crewman is ready to trek space.
So, what exactly does it generate if it leaves all those trivial details such as name and gender and species to you? Well, it generates a list of skills, interests, combat training, attributes, gifts, and faults along with corresponding trait levels where appropriate. If you like what you see, you can decide for yourself how he or she fits into your universe and consult other random generators as desired.
The inevitable direction of this random generator and its predecessor from the day before, is the birth of a new, free, instantly (or nearly instantly) playable role-playing game called (after the inspiration of the previous article), One Robot, One Computer, One Spaceship, or, as is the fashion today, 1R1C1S. I make absolutely no serious claims about it; it’s a silly endeavor, and that’s all there is to it.
Lest I forget, ’twill be a Fudge game, naturally.
Stay tuned…
