Huh, in 2E AD&D, a common character gen method is to roll 3D6 straight down for stats, then pick class, race, etc. There are stat minimums for this (and in some cases maximums). At least in the context of a human, this means that there's a ~30% chance of not being qualified for any class

SnoopJ: ...at least it's not like 1E Traveller?

Never played any, but the rules seem funky in a way that reminds me of GURPS

I wouldn't be surprised if GURPS was directly inspired in some fashion. Certainly there's a port of Traveller *to* GURPS

quasi-relatedly, I bought an RP2040 with a vague notion that it would make a nice platform for that ultrasonic mic project I dreamt up like two years ago now
