Full Version: Vote on the next weapon!
Dumpshock Forums > Discussion > Shadowrun
HullBreach
Info on the weapons:
The LeMat Revolver
The Tromix Sledgehammer family of Rifles
The Beretta M-4 SMG/Machinepistol
The QLZ-87 Grenade Launcher

The reactions I've gotten to my website, Heavy Angel, have been so positive, I thought it'd be fun to let everybody here at Dumpshock have a little say in its direction!

In addition to whichever weapon you pick, I will also be posting some other soon to be disclosed goodies. Enjoy!

Why not just do all four? Its not like converting a weapon is time-consuming work.

Assembling the page and play-testing the weapon is. Im running my next game sunday morning, where I'll play-test it, so I'll be constructing the page that eveing.

I usually work a 50+ hour week, time is a precious asset.

I voted for the Beretta by mistake. I meant to vote for the Sledgehammer family. I like the concept of them a bit more for what I was thinking of doing for a run.
HullBreach
Well its 1:30am here and I am about to rack out for the night, and the QLZ is in the lead.

Oh and don't worry LilithTaveril, I'll adjust the outcome.
HullBreach
Just checked the voting: Currently the QLZ is in the lead, closely followed by the LeMat.

The voting will end at 2:00am EST tonight!

QLZ seems to be the only one worth doing—even it overlaps heavily with preexisting weapons, but the others don't seem to bring anything new to the table except a new name.

Read the description on the LeMat again, it's a 9-shot revolver with an underbarrel shotgun.

The Tromix Rifles are big-bore assault rifle variants that fire huge slugs.

The Beretta M-4 is a high capacity machinepistol/SMG that can be concealed under a jacket.

Theres pleanty of interesting uses for the other weapons.

Wait, a revolver with more than six shots in SR? I dunno... I don't think the people who make the game are willing to allow reality interfere with their game willing to accept a pistol that is such a huge break from precedence.

I saw the words "Grenade Launcher" and it was all over but for the clicking. smile.gif

Ooh. Yeah, that one I didn't read carefully enough. The others, though--"big assault rifle" is at least somewhat novel, but high-cap concealable MP is done six ways to Sunday.

Two new items just added to the site:

-Armored Greaves
-Armored Boots

And six and a half hours left to vote on the weapon!

Hullbreach, can you do the runner up as the weapon after this?

Oh, and I should have that modable pistol for you by Monday. I suggest playtesting it before you put it into play, though. Never can have too much playtesting.

All four will be done in order of decending popularity. You guys are basically setting my priorities.

If this proves popular, I might turn in into an every-friday sort of thing.

Ok the polls are now officially closed and the results read like this:

QLZ-87
Modernized LeMat
Specter M-4 SMG
Tromix Sledgehammer

I should have the QLZ-87 up by tomorrow evening, and the others will follow throughout the week.
