Hello Veeky Forums. Recently I've been working on an RPG in which you play as "tacticool operators" in the style of Call of Duty and similar games. Basically over-the-top weapon attachments and tacticool gear, slaying terrorists and rogue nations in super-explosive-packed missions, that sort of thing. As I say in the intro:
> If you've always wanted an roleplaying game where you could attach a laser sight and explosive ammo to your revolver, or modify a machine gun into a sniper rifle, this game is for you.
I know Ops and Tactics exist but I wanted this to be a bit more rules-light and a lot less serious. It is based off of a game one of my friends made that was kind of similar but was a complete mess. It had some cool ideas like disposable one shot pistols and what not, but there were opposed rolls for literally every attack and the stats were literally useless (-2 to +2 in a d20 mechanic) so I decided to try to make my own game.
What do you guys think?
Isaac Hill
Go ahead OP. Write as long as you got that sweet inspiration. My tip for a rules lite game with firearms: don't do range, or do it very simple. Make every campaign either Close quarters combat so that all low range firearms do their job well or long range combat where noone has a weapon that wont work. You feel me?
Eli Allen
Looks okay. Bump for original content.
Oliver Cruz
Three round burst looks really underwhelming to use, especially when automatic gives multiple attacks.
I'd recommend making bursts just have lower recoil values.
Jackson Moore
Shit, didn't mean to respond to that, sorry.
Leo Anderson
>explosive ammo to your revolver, or modify a machine gun into a sniper rifle, this game is for you
Hey ive done those things!
Bump.
Austin Wood
Op are you still here?
Jordan Long
>For initiative, all players (including the GM) roll a d12 and call out their roll. The player who rolled highest goes first, then play continues in a clockwise order around the table.
INITIATIVE ORDER IS FUCKING EASY WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE SO MUCH PROBLEM WITH IT?
....
I actually really like this, except for the above quibble. Keep at it, OP.
Ian Hall
Bump because its d12 based
Alexander Green
If this was complete I would definitely run it for my players, for whatever that's worth.
Ryder Cook
Bump for potential. You shoula at least clean the pdf up a little though. At a cursory glance, the pistol table is unfinished and untidy, and the example operator has a stat at +4.
Aaron Rodriguez
/k/ here, interested in playing.
Lincoln Jenkins
>ctrl + f >Clips >0 results found
Wyatt Nguyen
is this a /k/ meme I'm not understanding?
Aaron Gray
People call magazines clips, which is incorrect.
Chase Green

Sebastian Peterson
Yes, I bookmarked the thread so I can read people's feedback later.
Cause I hate initiative.
Yeah I am pretty /k/, i don't own any guns but I go way out of my way to make sure it sounds good shit.
Yeah it's definitely unfinished.
Eli Hughes
>Everyone has the same initiative rating I really don't think that's a good idea.
Cameron Martin
>Yeah I am pretty /k/, i don't own any guns
Mason Ross
Sounds pretty /k/ to me.
Josiah Allen
maybe he's that one catfucker felon
Julian Williams
It's cause I can't afford them right now. I plan to buy an LCP for CC at some point soon.
Yeah I might make it based off of perception or fighting. Might add a reflex skill but I don't want too many skills.
Ryan Wilson
Perception plus fighting. Perception for OODA, fighting for lack of hesitation and such.
Caleb Jenkins
This is actually pretty neat. But where's armor?
Luke Sanders
Veeky Forums doesn't play traditional games, /v/ hates vidya, logically /k/ must actually not shoot anything.
James Reed
So is /s/ where all the gay men hangout?

Luke Bennett
Will there be any way to access this online in as it's being made? I'd hate to miss the only time it's posted once it's finished and never be able to find it again.
Jonathan Powell
A blog would be cool to see.
Ryder Thomas
Bump. This is actually neat. I want to see more, and I want to see it completed so I don't need to do it myself.
You need to fix a few things like adding armor, completing your ammunition and other toys stuff, and maybe explaining certain rules a bit better by adding actual example scenarios.
Also clean up your presentation. It's really bland and difficult to read, but it'd be cool with some tastefully-selected art and better organization.
Charles Foster
where the fuck is you nigga. we got questions.
Liam Butler
Bumping out of interest
Liam Gonzalez
To add to this, there's no direction on character progression. A little important.
Jason Cooper
A good character sheet would also be nice.
Justin Brooks
Sort the guns you fucking imbecile.
Mason Bell
Looks great, the anons above me have covered anything I have to say. I've actually been looking for a rules-light system for this sort of stuff, and this fits pretty perfectly.
Josiah Foster
>beer and chips system >weapons list is a textdump of realworld acronyms with nothing to differentiate them
A little jarring desu
Jayden Lopez
I always wanted something like this but with a more medieval arsenal. Tacticool knights with tacticool swords and shields using modern battle tactics
Alexander Cox
That's basically what low-tech GURPS is.
Blake Myers
You need to read a lot more than 17 pages to run GURPS.
Jack Jenkins
Some bump and also this provides me interest keep it up user!
Brayden Howard
No, you really don't
Mason Perez
>using modern battle tactics >With swords and shields How does that work? I already know the answer; it doesn't
Juan Reed
>no tacticool Garand >dropped
Aaron Cook
>no armor >no character progression
This problem solves itself.
Lucas Lee

Oliver Wood
If you're running some GURPS ultra-lite shit rolling 3d6 against a Guns! or Swords! skill, sure. If you're playing with the Basic Set and Low-Tech, you need a good understanding of that shit. GURPS doesn't have to be the autistic shit internet people meme about, but it's not a rules-lite system.
Oliver Rivera
I submit this art for your improved version.
Gavin Peterson
Yo OP, where the fuck you at? We want updates man.

Is there such a thing as a clip in reference to guns? Like, are they two different things and sometimes people refer to both as clips? Or is the word "clip" just a slang term for a magazine that people decided was wrong, or what?
John Sanders
...
Kayden Sullivan
A clip is exactly what it sounds like: a metal clip that holds cartiges. You use a clip to help load a magazine. Some guns have non-detachable magazines, so you would load the gun directly with a clip.
Leo Lopez

Henry Reed
Here we have caught a wild clip and magazine in a moment of intimacy

This, I want to Army of Two it.

dis nigga just up and left.
Carson Flores
As long as it's based off COD maybe do something like the specialists system. Basically adding in special weapons/abilities that can be used after a set amount of points from killing bad guys/supporting your team/completing objectives.
Anthony Mitchell
>Hello yes is that the military uniform factory? Yes, it's me. Yes, I'd like to reiterate my point that I want to make my men as faceless as possible. Yes I want their enemies to feel no moral guilt about killing them at all.
Jack Hill
Somewhat difficult to put empathy into a bulletproof mask
Hudson Hill
>he doesn't realise that by covering your men's faces they'll never have the temptation to break rank to seek personal glory >he doesn't know how to create the most obedient soldiers >pity him
Adam Russell
So... anyone running it as a game?
Michael Morales
Who are these sons of bitches fighting that they need to wear bulletproof masks at all times? Fucking G.I. Joe?
Dylan Martin
Kinda hard given that half the rules are missing.
Brandon Harris
The masks hardly even provide much protection either if i remember correctly. It's good against low velocity pistol rounds maybe, but any common handgun penetrates it and rifle rounds go right through.
Nolan Cook
I've seen a test where they stop a .45 magnum round. The mask was just really bent in and the dude would have had a bunch of broken bones in his face.
But hey. Better than being dead.
William Jackson
I've got no idea who the Taiwanese special forces are fighting. UTARC was a Bolivian military police unit, presumably they were fighting drug lords in slums like their BOPE neighbours in Brazil until they got disbanded for going too HAM.
Lucas Smith
Well from what I've read it supposedly goes up to level IIIA protection (High velocity 9mm and .44 magnum) but I bet it's at best single shot protection. It's also heavy as fuck, obscures your vision and doesn't really breathe well meaning it's uncomfortable to wear.
Levi Edwards
.44 Magnum, thank you. Don't know why I typed .45 Magnum. I need to sleep.
Christian Richardson
Well technically .45 Magnum is an actual round.
David Cruz
>Face messed up >Better than being dead Found the ugly person
Charles Murphy
It's not what I was thinking of when I typed, though. The test was a .44 Magnum.
Not ugly. But if I have a choice of being a bit ugly after the super ugly healing process and never being able to see my wife again, I know what I'd choose.
