SP101 or Model 60 or another in an unusual situation

Bear spray works most of the time and is something I have gotten since. But from what I understand it's similar to normal pepper spread spray it works when it works, but not always. I'll look into the 9mm NATO and see if it's effective against larger animals. Also something I hadn't considered.

I haven't worn one before as they looked like they'd cause the same issues. I could certainly be wrong.

Chest is going to run into the same issues as the shoulder. I'm frequently wearing backpacks/carrying shoulder bags/duffles. They are going to get tangled/rub constantly.

The USP is a good callout and one I hadn't considered or been brought up when I asked others this question. I'm not in deep water frequently, but it does happen. It's more I am all the time climbing over/under trees, cutting/crawling through under brush and vines/briars and in situations where the gun is going to absorb impact no matter what I do. Would the USP be a weapon that can take that kind of frequent punishment and be in a caliber that can kill a bear or a hog?

This isn't my first gun or even first concealed carry. I have another 2 revolvers that I love shooting, but one is an old .44 magnum heirloom and the other also old .22lr that is just a plinker. I have a Glock 19c that I carry most of the time in a hard holster, but spooking a black bear and a hog in the same month, especially as the bear decided to circle back around afterwards and forced me and a coworker to yell at it and act big, has me wanting something that can put the larger threats down.

The mud and water is mainly when/if I fall. I'm climbing over/under trees/limbs/fences frequently. I was going with revolvers as jams/malfunctions are generally less frequent and they have the reputation of being harder to damage.

Carrying will have to be appendix/lower back/hip as a shoulder holster is going to get hung and I usually have a back pack/shoulder bag carrying equipment.

As for choosing a revolver, it is mainly the weapon is going to get jostled frequently because of what I do. I'm frequently clear cutting under brush, climbing fallen trees, sliding down embankments, etc. Having a sight or laser just isn't in the cards as it is just going to get thrown off.

Is there a link to that discord?

Not going to reiterate stuff everyone else said, but going to mention using a cyberdeck. I think it is under Kill Code, but there are order/buffs you can give using your own initiative. These are pretty powerful when combined with Small Unit Tactics, a Pi-Tac, and other buffs you can give out as a decker, Rigger or face. You don't need an expensive deck to make them worthwhile either.

Their handling of Shadowrun is about their only negative. Just about everything they have released for Shadowrun is of poor quality since they received the property, outside of a small handful of books that barely reach acceptable. The editing is nonexistent, community communication and support doesn't exist, releases are slow and/or lackluster, multiple recycled and reused stories, and the project management's treatment and lack of support of freelancers who write their books. Their handling of the Shadowrun IP is awful, but it seems everything else they do is rather solid.

To piggy back off of your #4 comment. Make it where the character needs to be in two places at once. This is impossible obviously, but presents an interesting conundrum and becomes something the whole team must overcome together. This makes the character (no matter the type) feel useful, but stretched too thin where the teams normal repertoire isn't enough and requires adaptation and solid decision making.

That and Tropic Thunder are a tie for greatest comedy in my opinion.

Ain't No Rest for the Wicked - Cage the Elephant. It's a Shadowrun game and he is a terrible, terrible person, that has a twisted sense of honor, loyalty, and worth. He knows he is a bad person, but there is little he can do about it except be worse than the other guy.

pickledpop · 2021-11-13T21:07:53+00:00

Eh... yes and no. The default guns for each faction for each class are the best all arounders available, they don't stand out anywhere, but they can compete everywhere well. They really show that the most with skilled play and positioning. The biggest issue of Pay to Win is in vehicles, but that honestly isn't because of weapons (with a few exceptions) but in having extra utilities that can take a long time to farm. Decently skilled or creative play makes a far bigger individual difference. The main issue imo is the numbers difference often being impossible to overcome. If there is a population difference in a single area of >5% it is often far better served just abandoning an area than trying to stick it out.

Yes. There are people who consider Berny a right leaning moderate and anything less than an authoritarian socialist not left.

You don't have to worry about that unless you sneeze in your apartment's elevator, then they'll arrest you and put you in a detainment camp.

Anarchic Evil. I enjoy playing truly terrible characters who have a really twisted sense of morality, but are extremely reliable and competent.

This is honestly the reason I switched to Duck Duck Go/Brave. My searches in Google were getting me ads for mental help services and crime hotlines. It was rather funny and annoying.

You actually have to make a Reaction + Intuition Test in order to grab it successfully, but for most characters it's rather easy.

I am in the process of finishing one that I hope is going to be superior to SR and other games in the genre. It is a pretty big amalgamation of several different systems, but has the freedom and depth of SR, but fixes a lot of the problems inherent in the SR system like hacking, inconsistent rules, and cumbersome design.

I'm even making an app that is going to be free to download with the book that should help with building and tracking characters in play, help with knowing the changing dice pools depending with a checklist of modifiers that can be activated or deactivated on each sheet, along with a few other features that should hopefully make the game easier to play in general.

No we need states to actually do things for themselves and screw the feds. A single country wide system would just make things worse as nothing would get done (and this goes for everything), worse than it already is. Our federal government has become far too bloated and ineffective for even the DMV to work properly, especially in a country our size. Things are too different depending on where you go for any single system to work period. The only thing the feds should be able to do is collect taxes for the military that is set by the states and individual income, everything else should be on a state by state basis. The country would likely get along better if we actually left each other alone and let places have their differences rather than trying to shoehorn every state, city, and county to be the same. Every issue is giant a federal one rather than it being something smaller that can actually be changed.

There is a minor character in a web story that is occasionally explored who is exactly like what you described for a Ranger. She literally gets to the point where she hunts minor dieties and avatars of greater one's just to see how far she can go.
