d20 Modern Ammunition Types
Sometimes I'm bemused by the level of detail that gamers will go to in games. I can't talk, of course, I've invested a lot of time in researching obscure topics, which often appear and disappear in seconds in the actual running of the game. But in an email discussion with a friend, we were speculating about the most precise, most pernickety detail of any game you could looking for would be. I suggested ammunition types for d20 Modern. Now, d20 Modern already abstracts damage taken. And it abstracts damage dealt, too. And most of the guns detailed in the books, while not actually fictional, do such similar damage in real life that trying to distinguish it in a game, where the difference between 1-2 points of damage and 1-3 points of damage is both tiny and a 50% boost... forget about it, right?
Nope. Here's Ronin Arts' Modern: 13 Classified and Experimental Ammunition Types - and with added bits, it becomes 25 types. I surrender...
