In the process of writing the Encounter Critical edition of the Urutsk: World of Mystery game setting book and rules mod, I thought to create an aid to generating characters that would have almost universal applicability.
This link takes you to a Google Docs file with the table which has 100 entries indexed with 10 columns, providing 1,000 Attribute Scores for use in any 03-18 system.
I used anydice.com to generate a string of 10 numbers generated on 1d8+1d6+1d4, which is what I am using for the EC book, sample PCs, and any NPC scores. There are more 10's here than any other number I searched for, roughly 11% of all rolls.
I hope that you find this useful.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI've been reading about this cool setting on the blog (I enjoy science-fantasy and settings such as Tekumel). Are you eventually planning to publish this as a game?
@Chris,
ReplyDeleteYes, I do plan on publishing it, but I cannot be certain when it will be finished as I am still polishing certain sections and have a few a pages yet to write. Bit, I hope to have it out before the end of the year. Fingers' crossed.
Cool. Will there be content creation tools/generators (probably my favorite part of OSR games)?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteThere are tables and highly modular components which may be reconfigured leading to manifold variations.
Ah...so I'll be able to build or customize gribbly Bug Eyed Monsters among other things?...
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteThanks for answering all my questions! I had just discovered Urutsk a few months back, and hope to see more from your setting. I really like the science fantasy vibe...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chris.
DeleteI hope the new version doesn't disappoint. :)
