There has to be an option other than "equal to a riot shield" or "so cumbersome no one will ever use it".

[Fniff]

Yeah, it needs the right combination of both being useful and being cumbersome enough to make it only good in a pinch. I think plasteel and either "slows you right down" or "Requires two hands" would suit it. I think it being a two-handed weapon works best: it would be pretty heavy.

[Flying Dice]

Actually, stunprods are like the shield (Basically the same as stunsticks except made from common materials, except you have to swap out the power cell after a few hits), but they aren't often carried around. Though they do use power cells, but then again you can just steal those. Perhaps it should use something like plasteel instead of metal, making it slightly harder to get...

I don't know about anyone else, but if I'm playing as a scientist, one of the first things I do is churn out the research for the next power cell up the line and make a stunprod with one. Just about anyone can get their hands on the materials to make one, too.

For an improv shield, not too sure about two handed unless you only gain attacking force from doing that, but slowdown is fine. It's a shield, shields aren't supposed to be designed so that it's the only thing you carry into a fight.

[Cheedows]

How about making it so heavy if you hold it with one hand, you can slip randomly. If it's two handed you won't slip but slower and aforementioned limited durability.

Considering there is roman shields now too (idk how they are made I havnt looked deeply at them) I think a one handed plasteel shield that slows the user but does not block as well as a riot shield would be cool, and tg worthy.

So there's been a fair amount of interest from our community in learning to map or code. I've been thinking of making a video tutorial on how to map in dreammaker for UMcS/tg/BS12 or what have you. Would people be interested?

[Bdthemag]

The more tutorials there are about mapping/coding the better. Current documentation isn't exactly stellar, so even if no one from our community pays much attention to the guide, I'm sure you'll get a decent amount of attention from other communities if it's well done.

The Roman shield is awful and hardly ever blocks, at least for me. But the whole Roman outfit looks AWESOME.

Interested +1

[Glloyd]

Oh, I also put this together. Opinions?

Hell yes. And the titlescreen is nice, but it may just be me but I want something Bay12-y added in.

You at least buy the alien a drink first?
