I'm an Adobe Pro newb but an old hand with Captivate, and Structured Framemaker. I made the initial PDF with the backdrop in Powerpoint since image manipulation is extremely easy in that. Then I saved it to PDF and opened it with Adobe Pro 9 and added the fields by hand.

I surely do have one of those waiting until I can get down to Kinko's and have it laminated - it's gorgeous!

Very happy you like it. Grab the one from the dropbox link for a slightly better tab order in the skills area as well as a careers section on page 2. I will also see if I can update the original attachment when I am back at my pc.

The link above is still pulling up the old file for me.
Edit - Aha - looks like just a bit of lag/cache. Pulling up nicely now.

Hey everyone An update to my character sheet as well as both versions of my NPC record sheets. I figured out how to edit attachments on the post itself - YAY technology! Enjoy!

This guy sounds like he has Aspergers and has no concept of his actions on other people. I have known two people with moderate to severe Aspergers and this sounds like some of the behavior I have seen with them. One I knew as he grew up (my ex girlfriends son) and the other I knew as a young adult. I played Battletech and D&D with the second and this behavior sounds almost identical to the behavior I see here. Right down to the childish fits and sulking when things don't go his way.
You should probably distance yourself from this guy.

Aliens and ships are both addressed in the main book. - Creating alien races it pretty simple. Start at Page 41 of the core book. - creating and modifying ships. Start at page 105 of the core book.
Skills are a little more complex. Skills brak down into two types. Basic skills and specialized skills.
Basic skills are ranked up as a single skill. So Astrogation is ranked up point by point.
Specialized skills are a skill category with a number of specialization under them. Drive is a good example. With a simgle rNk in drive you get a 0 in the Drive general skill. This allows you to use your drive 0 for any of the three specializations (wheeled, tracked, and mole). Any further points in Drive must be applied to a specialization. If i get two ranks in drive and specialize in wheeled, I then drive any tracked or mole vehicle at a +0DM. Any wheeled vehicle I get a +1 DM.
Character creation is a lot of fun and needs to be done as a group.

Okay I have a the first actual game session for my G+ Traveller Firefly game tomorrow that's not character gen, spaceship discussion or any of that. I have a good hook to get the group together and they're all intertwined with each others backstories. I realized something the other day that one thing I do not have are Science Fiction tokens for any maps I need to throw out. I am using Roll20.net in the Google Hangout. I went agoogling and am coming up empty! Fantasy tokens galore exist but few in the scifi genre unless my Google-Fu is failing. Anyone have a good source for some top-down or even issometric token sources? I don't mind laying down some $ for assets but I have to find them! Thanks all!

Hello I am also recently come (back to) Traveller. Are you referring to the dice system or more the fluff? The dice mechanics are actually quite simple. Role 2D6, and add them together. Add any Positive Dice Modifiers (DM) Subtract any negative DM If the total is 8 or better you succeed. The DMs are conditional modifiers based on the environment, situations, character skill level, and how the player describes their actions. I am happy to discuss but if you were looking for something a little more I need a little more clarification around your question
