Two things. Why would magnums and handguns be in separate categories, but grenade launchers and rocket launchers be in the same one?

Because "Magnums" aren't handguns. They're super-heavy personal weapons with massive bores, specifically anything over the range of .50 caliber, designed to take down massive BOWs. MassiveAnnihilatory/GenocidalUnassistedMunitionsSystem. MA/GUMS. Or "Magnum."

Grenade launchers and rocket launchers will do about the same damage, plus they're rare so I might as well rope them together. It also includes other shoulder-fired weapons. Look, you have to keep in mind that they'll get weird experimental things too like giant lasers which I can also include in there. So just chelax about the categories m'kay?

I thought you were just referring to high-caliber revolvers when you said magnum, so calm self.

My question, is when would sniper rifles and assault rifles even be useful in the kinds of close-quarters action something even vaguely similar to X-COM would have?

[Nerjin]

Yes, but that's similar to how a Short sword and a long sword are similar in function. It's just less troublesome for players and yourself [trust me] if there are a few less skills. If I understand this correctly it would work like this:

"Hm... I like Handguns... Oh wait, they're phased out pretty quickly by pretty much every other weapon. Only used if I don't need them. No need to really train that up. *Shrug* And my Magnum is awesome but only really useful in a boss-fight due to its scarcity so I can't train that up. May as well just focus on SMG or Assault Rifle."

I dunno, seems like Handgun and Magnum become more desireable if you put them together. Because then you use the Pistols as training wheels while the magnums are what you're working up for. I dunno... Maybe I'm just not getting something. I am somewhat biased towards having less skills overall...

Look the categories will work, okay?! Just forget about them! I want help with the combat system. Will post more in a bit..

And you hush over there Rolep!

Nah its fine I'll just work it out on my own. You guys are frustrating (<3) but it did give me some ideas! Thanks! :-D

[Rolepgeek]

Shotgun+SMG all the way, baby.

And swords. Never forget swords.

[Playergamer]

May I pitch an idea to you guys?

Versus SG.

Specifically, space colonists versus aliens/natives/the entire world.

Just asking for interest.

[Parsely]

I'd play just cuz: frickin alliums.

[kj1225]

Sounds interesting.

Also does anyone remember that one game where dragons took over the world and everyone played either a freedom force for their own ideology or a dragon trying to keep control.

[Rolepgeek]

I remember that game. I remember it well.

[kj1225]

It was nice.

To get the ball rolling, would anybody be interested in a Peasant Adventure Redux? For those unaware, Peasant Adventure is one of the all time classic games, up with Do Not Follow The Rainbow Snail and You Are Scientist (Hey, you know all those You Are X games? Scientist was the first. And best.) where the players are peasants and get to do stuff. Sorry, I cannot remember details, but I recall it being funny as heck. Especially NUKE's edition. That guy is amazing.

Shamelessly quoting the OP to remind everyone that Peasant Adventure was the shit.

[IronyOwl]

I think I remember that one. I remember one of them, at any rate.

I especially remember the dwarven equivalent whose name I've totally forgotten. Though I for some reason remember the name of the one who ran it, so...

Ah. Potash Maker Adventure and Potash Maker Adventure II. Good times leveling skills too slowly for them to become useful before you got yourself killed. Plus crafting! Useless, useless crafting.

[Jboy2000000]

Not really an idea, but I think there are really to many Suggestion games, and not enough RPG's on the forum.
