Gun Fu --- the new EN Minigame

[Bobitron]

Looks pretty cool, I'll check it out next time I place a good-sized order.

Bobbitron, I'm looking at your Kermit avatar, and imaging Hard-Boiled with Kermit as Chow Yun-Fat and Fozzie as Tony Leung and Gonzo as Tony Wong, and I'm giggling.

Muppets d20. Talk about writing itself.

I think my brain just exploded.

Haha, I actually lol'd at my desk. How's this for a Gun-Fu leap? Photoshop in some nickel M1911's and you're all set.

Comedy gold, man.

One of the conscious decisions I made with this product was to make guns VERY similar to one another. There are no descriptions of individual models of guns, just categories like "light pistol" or "assault rifle" or whatever.

In the movies that this game is based on, it NEVER matters what sort of gun somebody is using. All guns are pretty much the same. How much damage a gun deals seems to have more to do with how angry the person pulling the trigger is than the calibre or muzzle velocity.

My hope is that it's not boring for the same reason the movies themselves aren't boring -- because the stories are so much fun and the characters are so cool.

Gun-Fu is not by ANY stretch of the imagination any sort of reality-based model. It's meant to model the dynamics and typical situations of John Woo shoot-em-ups, NOT to present accurate portrayals of what happens when something gets hit by a round from a Colt 1911.

I hope people will find that a useful thing for a game to model, and that they're able to play fun, action-filled games with it.

Hey, that makes perfect sense. Hell, I'm sold...buying my copy tomorrow!

I picked it up hoping to pillage the OGL for a project I was working on myself (and may I say Barsoomscore, thanks for the easy-to-use OGL decleration). It's a stylish peice of work, and possibly the first d20 game that I'd consider using in the genre rather than my beloved Feng Shui. Congratulations on a fine product.

Wow, thanks, arwink. I can't imagine a finer compliment. Feng Shui was obviously very much in my mind as I put this product together. Thank you.

I'm very glad you liked it. Any other comments, feel free to throw 'em my way. Especially more nice ones.
