I am fond of mine so far!

I suppose that depends on whether or not you live in the Hegemony or the Brotherhood.

:D Indeed.

Welcome aboard, Ragnar!  I hope you’re settling in well.

Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately, June was kind of a crazy month for me, then July was a mix of family matters and writer’s block.  I’m glad to be marching forward again though.
Heh, I'm probably biased, but I always thought they were pretty cool.

Just to say, I'll be mostly out of contact from thursday until next monday or so, and intermittent until next thursday - going to the Cambridge Folk Festival. :)

No problem! I'll just have you remove the primary buffer coil on the gravitic conversion emitter!

I appreciate the Gareshi.

Their misplaced faith in their false war god makes them near-worthy foes.

Given that your own god condones the use of conscripts, nuclear bombardment, and grotesque waste of resources as matters of course, I would question whose god is false.

Worship should uplift the faithful, not excuse their bad habits while wrapping them in a shroud of self importance.

Too tired. Will post tomorrow.

Purification by nuclear fire is a mercy.

You mistake the faults of the most misguided of his flock as traits of the whole. There will come a day when the truth is laid bare for you blood witch.

I have returned after a long couple of days. Time to wreak havoc.

Love the Huginn picture.

Kidney stones suck. That is all. I don't recommend getting them.

Sometimes having the right ambient sounds really helps with writing.

Hey folks, sorry I'm still going slow.  We had someone quit without notice during a stretch where a lot of our staff are going on vacations.  As a result my schedule is a mess, I'm still trying to post, it's just a trick of finding the time right now.

No problem!

Cambridge was awesome. :D Really recommend checking out Shooglenifty and the Treacherous Orchestra.

Should be back to normal posting by tomorrow evening.

The huginn looks cool, but with that big shoulder rig it has terrible posture :D

So I think Crawford made a mistake when he designed the melee weapons.

Look at the TL0/1 melee weapons,

Knife
Club
Sword
Greatsword
Spear

All have different damage, ranges, required attributes and so on.

However, once you get to TL4 it's all "Monoblade" or go home.

What should be changed is that there is a TL4 version of each of those weapons (and maybe even a TL4 bow with mono-tipped arrows?) that does their respective damage +1 and can affect targets with advanced armor. Add 30 credits to the cost to account for the mono "system"  All other stats remain the same.

Also, I think Assault Armor and Powered Armor should be able to fire man-portable gunnery weapons without needing to brace.

What say you, players? Shall we add it to house rules?

I like and endorse all of the above.

Sounds good to me.

I'll probably leave out club though. Monoclubs don't exactly make sense and they're not better than knives except for fact that they're free.

Well, a mace that uses gravitic technology could make sense.  To amplify blunt force by augmenting gravity fields etc.

Yes but I'd have to redesign it to make more sense. It wouldn't just be a straight swap. I really like home-brewing stuff for this system though.

Traditionally, I think the shock batons are the go-to tech upgrade for clubs.  If one carries a club around professionally, it's generally for it's non-lethal properties.

Otherwise (barring straight up kinetic amplification which is probably pre-tech) you're looking at things like maceheads whose studs are shaped explosive heads for penetrating heavy armor.  If you're the kind of crazy person who wants to swing a bomb at someone and hold onto it.

I'm sure you've seen this before...
