==Reception==
[[Don Turnbull (game designer)|Don Turnbull]] reviewed ''1001 Characters'' for ''[[White Dwarf (magazine)|White Dwarf]]'' #14, giving it an overall rating of 6 out of 10, and stated that "A frustration of ''Traveller'' lies in the character-generation system which, if you are unlucky, takes you quite a lot of die-rolling to reveal that the very promising character you are dealing with unfortunately got killed in his final term of service, whereupon you start the whole process again . This booklet allows players to avoid that process, and for this reason alone will be regarded as a valuable asset for those to whom character-generation is merely a tedious pre-requisite to getting down to the game proper."<ref name="WD14">{{cite journal  | last =Turnbull | first =Don | author-link =Don Turnbull (game designer) | title =Open Box  | journal =[[White Dwarf (magazine)|White Dwarf]]  | issue =14  | pages =14  | publisher =[[Games Workshop]]  | date = August–September 1979  }}</ref>
