Good morning everyone
My G+ Traveller Firefly game is about to kick off this coming Saturday and I've created some additional resources for anyone interested in running an online Traveller game.
Firstly there wasn't a good electronic character sheet. I tried creating one in PDF, Excel, Word, and Powerpoint. I couldn't come up with anything I liked.
Then I discovered the NBOS Character Sheet Creator.

The only disadvantage to this tool is that you have to use the CSViewer.exe in the program folder to view and edit the final sheets and there is no icon put in your start menu or anything - easy to fix once you figure it out. You also need to send the CSViewer.exe to your players so they can open and modify their sheets. The print function is outdated and won't work but if people want a paper copy I say print one from the book and pencil it in.
I created three record sheets yall might be interested in.

My players have all been very excited since our character generation session and when I sent each person their own character backstory with connections to other players written as part of it it made them even more excited. I'm lucky to have such great people as players
Cheers, Juber.
