[QUOTE="Leopold, post: 484889, member: 758"] [b]Re: Quality vs. Realizm vs. Playability[/b] [B] well i am. I for one want a game that is as accurate, as precise, and keeping in touch with what the modern day equivalent of weaponry that is put out in a book is. If a gun is supposed to weigh in at 10 lbs and it's 7lbs then the author didn't do his homework. Real life based material (that's what this is about) is supposed to be based on factual and accurate information. So far it's not, and for me it's important to have good information. You won't see JANE's making inaccurate assumptions on weaponry, they get it right and make sure it's right, and that's the type of level of realistic accuracy i am looking for when it comes to tactical weaponry. I like playing for escapism (like they'll let me place with a M16A2/M203a or a FAMAS in real life!), although I have no desire to shoot church going nuns or the handicapped, just evil demons from other planes with my OICW :). But I seriously hope you don't think all people who like firearms as a hobby, as a sport, and as a profession think about storming the alamo or executing people. As that is dead wrong! I hope you detract that statement. it has nothing to do with insanity or your belief that all gun nuts are crazy. It has everything to do with ACCURACY and to anyone that has wielded a gun accuracy is life or death on the battlefiled. Just because we ask for a book based on real information found on the manufacturers site to be placed in a book based on that information to be ACCURATE. Is that too much to ask? Will i buy the book? sure. I still need some stats on the guns and so forth. I have been waiting for it for a while and want a revamped version of it. Will I house rule it? Definately. I have several ex-military players as well as gun 'nuts' and will probably go through this with a fine tooth comb and change things as I see fit. That's the beauty of D20, I can alter it to my whim and say "Hey this says this, it should be THIS, let's use that instead." Good job on putting this out GR! I will be buying one when it's released at my FLGS.[/b] [/QUOTE]
