Traveller-style CharGen

Lifepath systems? There's a few around.

Burning Wheel has a sort of lifepath system, for one, although it's taken all the fun out and turned it into an exercise in advanced accounting.

Both editions of Cyberpunk used a lifepath approach, as does the most recent Battletech RPG.
The (very) old Ringworld RPG, taking cues from Traveller and having to deal with characters up to two centuries old, used a lifepath system that was less than fun past about 60.

Two system generic books published, I think, by Flying Buffalo were lifepath generators that could be tacked onto whatever game you liked. One book was fantasy, the other SF.

I think the RPG based on Infinity is going to use something pretty similar. There's actually an online character generator they released for it already, though without the context of the rulebook it probably won't make a whole lot of sense.

Eclipse Phase.
WHRP, maybe? I recall a lot of tables and rolling a lot.

pic-related is more random than Traveller, but it has a cross between lifepath and playbook chargen

The Runed Age has a system sort of like Traveler and its set in an early modern, discovery era period.
