What do you think Wilhelm

[Jostal]

I know I sent this to you over facebook already, but thought id see if anyone else was interested. We could do this when I come down to visit TC if you want (saturday nights), dunno how many players and stuff, I havent developed a whole lot yet. just got the idea.

This campaign takes place in a land where large ruins pierce the sky. Within these ruins lay "old world" technology. Some lands have prospered, drawing up this technology to improve lifestyle and transportation, while some lands have shunned the new technology, often outlawing it, or confiscating it. Example technology ranges from 1500 AD - 2300 AD but varies in appearance, so you cant use an AK-47. The mixing of magic and technology has resulted in the creation of Airships. They are like boats that float on air like they would float on water. That is where the story begins, you were traveling aboard an airship when pirates attacked. The ensuing battle resulted in your airship crashing into a forest no where near your destination (Insert City name here.). You are one of the few survivors.

I'm not Wilhelm but I'm intrested! Whats the rules system?

[Jostal]

Im thinking 3.5? I will allow people to start with particular technology, like a hand gun, or other smaller modern weapons, but nothing futuristic, and shells will be expensive. When i figure out more stuff ill post some starter options here. But if you want to start with a gun, that will be probably the only gear you start with, basic travel and clothing, no armor, other weapons, except maybe a dagger.. Just the gun. You will probably have to make your own shells, so you will want weapon crafting skill and the Old World Knowledge skill. more to come later.

I think Ill only allow Pistols for "high tech" weapons to start with.
All other classic items are allowed.

Revolver
A basic Revolver & 18 Rounds 80% starting gold.
Stats: 2d8 x2 30 ft range 3lb. weight.
Requires Exotic Weapon Proficiency Firearms, 2 ranks in Old World Knowledge.
Holds six shells, then requires a full round to reload, (provokes AoO)
How you obtained this is really up to you. To make shells for this weapon costs 10 gold, 3 ranks in Craft weapon & 3 ranks in Old World Knowledge.

Semi-automatic Pistol, 2 15 round clips, 30 shells. 90% Starting gold
Stats: 2d6 x2 40 ft range 3lb.
Requires Exotic Weapon Proficiency Firearms, 3 ranks Old world Knowledge
Releasing and loading a magazine is a move action, reloading a clip.. 5 turns? ;p
To make Clips: 100 Gold, Total of 8 in Old world knowledge, 4 Ranks in Craft weapon.
Shells have same requirements as revolver, except gold cost is 8.

Laser Pistol & One partially drained Power Cell. (25 rounds) All starting gold but 1 gold piece.
Stats: 3d6 x2 40 ft Range 2lb.
Requires Exotic Weapon Proficiency Futuristic, total of 7 ranks in Old World Knowledge, (yes, 4 ranks and 16 Intelligence)
600 Gold, Craft Weapon 7, Old world knowledge 9 to make a Power Cell. Good luck buying one... ;p
These are highly illegal pretty much everywhere, so expect to get in trouble a lot.

What these weapons look like is entirely up to you, if you want a steampunk revolver, go for it, you want a Star Trek Phaser... ok... but ill allow it. You may get heckled by other players, and the DM.. A lot. but ill allow it. hehe.


Other than the above weapons, Interesting stuff may drop, it really goes by the whim of the DM, or where you are. you arent going to kill a Dragon and get a Beam Cannon drop.

Dragons hate technology. A lot. And they can smell it on you. Especially Laser Weapons.

Oh yeah, stats is 4d6 drop lowest, ill let you reroll one stat.
