Sir, you have posted a game design thread on the Internet, and opened it up to commentary.

You will be defoliated by suggestions.  Grandiose, egotistical suggestions.

I have never at any point in my life listened to anyones suggestions, and i'm not about to change.

Used to play ages ago, but haven't in over a decade.
I once tried the IRC thing, but it just wasn't very interesting.
Something about the paper and pencil in your hand, and tossing actual dice made it far more interesting (and if you use an actual pen in a PnP, you're bound to fail )

[moghopper]

Anyone else got any questions?

Will the final boss be Charles Darwin, but with a minigun that shoots Chagas disease injecting darts?

Actually, I was thinking the Final boss would be Adam Smith, but with a giant Space hamster as a mount

It should be something economics related. A giant hamster made out of money, maybe?

It's the last of it's kind, Adam Smith is trying to save it, the players are trying to poach it and use it's organs as currency because they all inexplicably live in the same house and need to pay the rent.

Anyways, Here's a weapon i just finished writing up:

Crusher Glove (Melee)
Background: The Crusher Glove is in essence a large and heavy glove worn over the users hand. What makes this weapon different from anything similar is that it is rigged with both a kinetic battery and a set of pneumatic spikes on the knuckles. Upon impact the target is simultaneously blasted with kinetic force and impaled by the spikes. Few beings can survive such an attack.
Damage Value: 3D6 (Shredding and Smashing)
Armor Penetration: 3
Special Rules:The Crusher Glove sends shock waves through whatever it strikes. If faced with an armor that cannot be penetrated then the damage that was prevented is instead dealt as fatigue points. Because this weapon deals both Shredding and Smashing damage, a critical hit means that the player gets to roll once on the Shredding critical hit table, and once on the Smashing critical hit table, applying both results to the target.
Cost: 4200 Credits
Weight: 8Kg

(I wanted to name it the "MANLY FIST")

On another note, I've decided not to list any precusor technology in the equipment and items sections.

This is to add to the mystery in game, and allow game masters to use precursor tech as a kind of "Magic Item" reward which they can create themselves

Why does this sound so familiar........large.....fist.........on hand........wait a minute





ITS A POWER FIST!!!

[Pandarsenic]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Pan-Dar "Senic" LAZOR CANNON
Background: While most Direct Energy Weapons (DEWs) are ineffective on any hand-held scale, the Pan-Dar Industrial Combine has developed a battery and a series of lenses which allow for a personal laser. The Senic is a bulky, monstrously huge device, which loses power rapidly after leaving its initial effective range of 10 meters, but can do a great deal of damage to anything in its path within its effective range.
Damage Value: 1d2+1d3+1d4+1d5+1d6+1. (Energy and Heat)
Armor Penetration: 3
Capacity: EXPLAIN PLX
Rate of Fire: EXPLAIN PLX
Reload Time: Explaim plx.
Range: However the range thing below defines it.
Ammunition: Charger
Special Rules: Because Plasma weapons deal both Energy and Heat damage, a critical hit means that the player gets to roll once on the Energy critical hit table, and once on the Heat critical hit table, applying both results to the target.
After 10 meters, the Senic loses damage dice from the d2 to the d6 every 3 meters (10 meters = 6 to 21, 13 meters = 5 to 19, 16 meters = 4 to 16, 19 meters = 3 to 12, 22 meters = 2 to 7, 25 meters = 1. Useless at 30 meters. A visible gas in the air reduces that to every 2 meters after 8 meters of distance, and a no-atmosphere condition removes this limitation)
Cost: 6750 Credits
Weight: 20 Kg

Am I doing it right?

Obviously not.
everyone knows that lazer weapons are just glorified flashlights

And is that a problem?

Depends. Do I get one?

[moghopper]

Depends. Do I get one?

Are you manly enough for the Manly fist?

Would you say that a seven foot tall man in armor enough to stop lasers, and he eats aliens for breakfest, is manly enough to use a power fist?
