Equipment Maker 4 – Armour

Everyone who goes on an adventure uses equipment. Without it, their adventuring days would come to a halt quite quickly.

This generator doesn’t give you the details of any powers or abilities that are named or generated, that part is left up to you. It could be used as a simple description or the names could have real abilities tied to them.

This edition of Equipment Maker deals with armour, covering all pieces of armour you might find, from helmets for the head to sabatons for the feet.

Inside you’ll find…

A master description table to help you decide on the description format
2 examples of an item made with this system
a d100 table for the descriptor of the armour
a d100 table for the prefix power of armour
a d100 table for the suffix power of armour
Several tables that give you more details about the individual bit of armor
Plus two d100 tables for the material and type of armor, both with duplications to help reflect the more common types and flesh out the tables

Another of my pastimes is watching films. Like many of you, I have a growing DVD collection. Mine has a selection of Geek classics, along with some non-genre titles. As well as watching for pleasure, a good film is also research for both my writing and gaming. The parallel between film and fiction is quite clear. The benefits for a GM, however, may not be quite so obvious...

Yesterday I mentioned about various product lines and what I had planned for future series. So today, I thought I’d go through what I have ongoing now and what I have planned. This isn’t all of them and the titles for the series can be thought of as working titles and can and probably will change. The lists below do not include one-offs or those i plan on updating and bringing out in a new format, such as the old Kits series.

Existing

These are series I have a lot of planned ideas for and have been doing reasonably well

Future/Planned Series

No generator or resource this week as I am putting the finishing touches on the content for the latest in the Dungeon Feature series – Fountains. Tomorrow I’ll be making a post that will cover the active lines of pdfs I’m working on and what others I have got planned. By active lines, I mean ones I have plans and ideas for. As I mentioned before the Chunk styles series is on hiatus. If it comes back it will be in a new format or tied to a particular game or system.
