Ok, so I actually start a game. This will rely a lot on you not knowing what's going on. I will only tell you what you need to know.
1. This is set in modern times.
2. You're a prototype super soldier. You don't remember anything about your life before the start of the project.
That is all you need to know about the plot.
Influences:
F.E.A.R. - tactical combat and mindscrew can coexist.
Amnesia - losing sanity can lead to interesting gameplay effects.
Paranoia - you don't need to know anything.
A certain other work of fiction I will not reveal, since it'll tell you too much.
Content:
We'll be using 2d6 for all rolls, with bonuses and minuses applied to the sum. The result will correspond to standard 1d6 RTD system (1,2=1, 3,4=2, etc.). That way I can have more minor advantages/disadvantages.
Types of rolls are:
Physique - strenght,endurance and agility rolled up into one.
Dexterity - used for actions that require manual dexterity, caution, attention and skill.
Science - represents scientific knowledge and wisdom.
Marksmanship - obvious.
Tactics - used for stealth, spotting weak spots, assessing situation, finding shortcuts and etc.
Hidden stat - hidden for mindscrew. You can take modifiers for this at the beginning of the game, without knowing what it does for more fun and mindscrew. It's important though, I can guarantee that.
Light weaponry:
Revolver
Ammo: 357. rounds
Capacity: 6 rounds
Traits: Civilian
Description: A simple revolver. Good for personal defence, but not very good for actual battles.
Police pistol
Ammo:9x19 parabellum
Capacity:10 rounds
Traits: Civilian
Description: An unremarkable semi-auto pistol. Useful as a secondary weapon since the caliber is common.
Machine pistol
Ammo:9x19 parabellum
Capacity:12 rounds
Traits: Silenced
Description: Used by Spec. Ops. because of the integrated silencer and respectable CQC power. The combination of full-auto mechanisms, small clip and low accuracy make it much harder to maintain than the police pistol.
---------------
Medium weaponry:
SMG
Ammo: .45 ACP
Capacity:30 rounds
Traits: Silenced
Description: The weapon of choice for shock infantry, scouts and hired killers. The great recoil control, fire rate and integrated silencer make it great for CQC.
Pump shotgun
Ammo: 12ga
Capacity: 5 shells
Traits: Civilian
Description: Very lethal and surprisingly legal. Dominates CQC.
Army rifle
Ammo: 5.56 NATO
Capacity: 30 rounds

Assault rifle
Ammo: 5.56 NATO
Capacity: 30 rounds
Traits: None.
Description: A modern assault rifle with a bullpup design. Carefully planned to minimize recoil and offer exceptional fire rate, making it deadly in CQC.
Sniper rifle
Ammo: 7.62 NATO
Capacity: 5 rounds
Traits: Sniper
Description: A bolt-action sniper rifle. Light for its caliber and extremely accurate. Very easy to maintain, because it shares ammo with the machinegun, but uses it up much slower.
---------------
Heavy weaponry:
Machinegun
Ammo: 7.62 NATO
Capacity:100 rounds
Traits: Armor Piercing
Description: Eats through ammo like a beast, is hard to carry and is useless in long range, however this weapon has no equal when fighting large squads or taking on vehicles.
Anti-material rifle
Ammo: 14.5 Russian
Capacity: 3 rounds
Traits: Armor piercing, sniper
Description: A huge cannon of a rifle. Has no equals against light vehicles and will deliver extreme overkill to everything smaller.
Missile launcher
Ammo: HEAT missile
Capacity: 1 missile
Traits:AT
Description: Capable of destroying absolutely everything, but hard to find ammo for. Use only when there are no other options.
---------------
Explosive types:
Frag grenade
Great against infantry. Devastating in closed areas.
Flash grenade
Blinds enemies for a while, letting you easily finish them off.
Smoke grenade
Tactical tool. When no cover is available, make some.
Sticky bomb
HEAT weapon. Don't waste it on lesser foes.
--------------
Traits:
Civilian - you can walk around with these guns and no one will find it suspicious.
Silenced - obvious.
Sniper - guaranteed maximum rolls when taking time to aim. Aimed shots can be performed only in long range and can't be performed when taking fire.
Armor Piercing - can take on light vehicles.
AT - can take on any vehicles.
