I've had another ambush of ideas, hope you guys enjoy them! Faulty Shielding : The Force/Phase-fields actually work just fine, its the shields on the ships reactor core that are problematic. Every time the vessel takes a critical hit, makes a critical failure on piloting or weapons roll, or dis/enga...

Proprietary Hardware: This ship uses parts made by a specific race/company known for superior quality work. The ship normally performs at 10-15% better than ships of a similar design lacking those parts. Unfortunately, the parts also wear out or break at an alarming speed (3d6% faster or 1d4x10% le...

Bah, sanity is overrated! Actually, I use custom-fit ear plugs when I go out around the holidays, specifically to avoid that auditory assault. Also keeps the Salvation Army bell-ringers from deafening me! Here, have some more fresh baked flaws! Sticky Console: One of the main control or computer ter...

Qreth’Tchka For millennia, the world of the Qreth’Tchka sat alone, and unremarked in the galactic scene, that all ended with the Minion Wars. A race of (mostly) peaceable philosophers, poets, and scholars, it should have been an easy conquest, a bulging sack of plunder to be taken, except for a few...

Hello again everyone, and a belated Happy Humbug to all! I had an ambush of ideas that translated into a pair of semi-allied races. Be warned, they are a bit wordy and rough in places, but I hope you enjoy! “So, you’re a ‘human’ then, what does that mean? What do I mean by that? Well, I’m an O-Rogg,...

Roscoe Del'Tane

Thanks, Roscoe. Your stocking-stuffer present is much appreciated. Merry Christmas! Not a problem tallismn, and a Happy Humbug to you too! And on that note: Honored Holidays: The PA and comm systems were gotten from the lowest bidder, and it shows. Around the holidays, festive music, songs, and spe...

[Pokes head into thread] Hellooo! Anybody home? I've got a fresh baked batch of flaws if you want some? No? Well, I'll just leave them by the door if any of you want some. [Walks off muttering under his breath] People today, got NO respect for their threads. They go through all the trouble of making...

This one is a bit patchy in places, but hopefully it comes across clear enough (stupid muse, getting me out of bed to write up ideas !). Hope you guys enjoy this new toy! Memory Chips/Crystals*: The idea behind this new innovation comes from the Hartigal Combine, as a new safety measure for when the...

Roscoe Del'Tane

Very nice. I like them all. The last one could be used by people who need to get rid of say......... a body. Indeed, and they would make quite excellent fertilizer; brings to mind the old saying "buying the farm", to reference somebody dying. It could very well be changed to 'took a job a...

Roscoe Del'Tane

Just three ideas at the moment, hope you guys enjoy! Apocalypse Launcher-90: A new release from the Hartigal Combine, this is a modified close-quarters automatic rifle that has altered to launch grenades. Based off of the ancient P-90 from the Golden Age of Man, it has been re-chambered, upgraded in...

Zeus Electro Gauntlets: designed as a non-lethal alternative to the Forearm-Integrated Weapon Systems used by the military, these are essentially fist mounted Tasers, with a reach of 50 feet. On a normal, adult human, the ZEG covers the entire hand, and most of the forearm, and weighs less than a p...

Hmmm...Programmed by New Hong Kong movie dubbers for that classic 'out of synch' look? Got it in one! It was actually inspired when I finally saw 2001 all the way through, and thought this might be a good item to have, and would be so much more inconspicuous than a surgeons mask/bandanna/etc. Cultu...

Anti Lip-reader System: The ALS is a dual piece blue-tooth sized and shaped device used in security/espionage fields to prevent, well, people reading their lips. Put one piece in each ear, and it uses a scanner that maps out their face and casts a hologram of alternate words/expressions to fool oth...

One of the best GM's I ran with would give us fair warning every time we made characters, we could use any book legal powers we wanted; but with the caveats that A) HE got to choose our backstories if he didn't like what powers we chose, and B) he could and would make characters specifically designe...

EMP-Arrows: Designed to kill the engines of all modern vehicles, as well as wreak havoc with communications and cyborgs/bionic characters. On a successful strike, the engine of any modern vehicle (after say, 1990) has a 95% chance of failing, same with any electronics within 15 feet of the arrow 1d...

Achilles Heel Exported Healing: This characters healing powers are slightly off kilter, as they work very thoroughly, but target other people before their possessor. Any one within a 20 foot sphere (+1d6 feet per level) is healed first by the Mega-Hero, at whatever the Heroes normal rate is; note t...

1) Maybe have a newly discovered island/mini-continent sort of in the Caribbean/Philippines Island area (or halfway between the Americas and Africa), a fairly large but geographically isolated nation-state, with initially nothing to export but its citizens, as every single person born there has or d...

All right, here we go, once more unto the breach my friends! Cold Fire {Major} by Roscoe Del’Tane ”That’s your weakness Commander Crushinator, you underestimate the little things.” The character with this ability is granted access to an exotic energy not found naturally in their dimension. The energ...

Need Ideas? Here you go! Some of them will be a bit bare-bones, so just a heads up. A character with Teleportation and invisibility could pop in, unseen, drop a satchel of grenades, C4, and homemade chemical weaponry at their feet and be gone before they could blink. Ka-Boom! (To quote Edger Montros...

Achilles Heel, Wandering Hands: The character could be the nicest most squeaky clean boy-scout imaginable, save for one thing, his hands are very friendly, and have no sense of personal space/boundaries. ANY time that the character isn't concentrating on what he's doing (or she, come to that), ther...

If I had to guess, I'd say Video Game View would be a Major, Inverted Immunity a Minor and Power Borker would be a Major, at least that's how I would allow them in a campaign.. But it's just a guess until Senator Cybus chimes in.. I can’t believe no one’s done this one yet, so here is a power honor...

Roscoe this is awesome material. Can we please have some more! {Puts on horned Viking helmet, and glares defiantly} Certainly! I shall always share my treasures with worthy folk! You'll have to pry them out of my willing and unresisting hands! Wait, did we take the right medication today? Huh. Whil...

Unusual Hitchiker This ship is playing host (probably unwillingly) to an energy-based being. This being is locked out of its home reality and unable to return, this might be because s/he/it's been banished, its on an adult-hood quest, wants some quiet time among primitives, whatever the DM decides....

For best effect, I'd say have this sprung on the player out of left field; say right after they return from an island full of Amazons.

Aura of Insemination: This charatacter is able, with his mere presence , to cause females to become pregnant! His reproductive powers are so powerful, the organic bits actually leave his body in an invisible cloud, and are able to seek out any fertile female within range, and attempt to do their fu...

One of the most popular ranged weapons in House Belloq is the Bio-Energy Expulsion System, for the combination of relatively long range, rate of fire, and relatively high damage. A warrior with one of these does more damage per attack than with a Super Laser Cell (potentially at least), with nearly ...

Roscoe Del'Tane

Several of the Librarians and Engineers have been tinkering with the combat tails that many of their soldiers use. The thinking being that while they work decently as close combat weapons, the troops should have the option of longer range assault. After a long period of tinkering, the LAE were able ...

Roscoe Del'Tane

The Librarians and Engineers of House Belloq have come up with another upgrade for the Organic Rocket, one that combines heavy hitting firepower, with rapid reloading and ease of handling. Its essentially a shoulder mounted box containing 16 OR suspended in a bone honeycomb. The honeycomb can be eas...

Heads Up Game System: A few years ago, a lady engineer from the Hartigal Combine was on vacation and bumped into a member of the Megaversal Legion during an extensive bar crawl. During the many drunken conversations that followed, the engineer managed to finangle a peek at the personal cyberware re...

Orthodontical Failure: This ship is cursed, literally. The spell is woven into the fabric of the ship, meaning there is no fix short of dismantling and completely rebuilding the vessel (there is also a 19+1d6% percent chance of spreading this curse to vessels using parts taken from this conveyance)...

The Clone-a-Matic? Rosco, I am SO using that to mislead my enemies with. Accident, assassination...let my enemies sweat even after DNA testing of the remains... Thanks guys, nice to be back! Just remember, that while you have the organs, you will still need surgery to install them. So unless you ha...

Nutso-Powered Ship: This ship doesn't work properly unless at least ONE member of the officer core/command staff is certifiably bug-house insane. The downside to this? The ship treats their orders as coming from God, taking precedance over any one elses. The upside? The ship frequently does things ...

Roscoe Del'Tane

Clone-A-Matic: A new release from the Hartigal Combine, that is essentially a twisting of T'zee weapons and food-based tech. It is a large vat of medical grade nanites, with a very powerful micro computer built into the casing. While it's not able to make entirely new people in it (at least at once...

The stairs on the inside are part of the support, so that might be unwise. Some states use concrete towers (the best usually), and some use something like modified thin gage metal (ala grain silos). Some states have the best towers, they are either part of the walls (with catwalks mounted to the wa...

Roscoe Del'Tane

Even if the building is surrounded by zombies, you might not have to worry too much about being in the gun towers. Rig up some grating to cover the windows, pull up the ladders (or destroy the stairs) and make accessing it only possible via a walkway you can swing around, and you've got a decent eno...

iron orcs... now why did i never think of that I had them on back burner for a while, and never got around to posting them. They were origonally going to be cyborgs, but I couldn't figure out a way for them to retain their SNPS, so I just went with genetic manipulation angle, made them counterparts...

Gem Analyzer: A must have for those who enjoy diamonds and the like, and are a bit gunshy about getting the short end of the stick. Essentially a laser scanner, attactched to a wrist-mount, allowing them to verify any and all jewels and gems before buying them. Another great item from your Hartigal ...

Well guys, its only been what, a year and a half since my last post here? Well, between work and school, my muse has been pretty-much drowned out lately, but I’ve been slacking off on the important things for too long. Taking a leaf out of Taalisman’s book, I’ve got the beginnings of another galact...

Had another ambush of ideas this morning, but it took unti now for the darned things to coalesce into a form that could be written out. Hope you enjoy them, I'm particularly proud of the last one.

This, and the ideas above, are pure gold. Glad you liked it Ziggurat, have some more! The Iron-Delvers, while bound by both marriage and word of honor to House Belloq, were slightly resentful that their ‘allies’ were withholding their most powerful weapons in the trading between the two groups.

Ahhhh! I've hit my mark, and on time ( my time , at least) everyday! Will post other ideas as they occur, but expect a slow down from now on. I might go back and edit some of the first posts, after coming up with a bit of a more cohesive idea for House Belloq, make things flow a bit smoother from po...

With their alliance of House Belloq with the Iron-Delver Technojacker clan, the LAE began to experiment with replacing the technology of the ancients with the organic version produced by the gene-pool. The first of these devices to be completed is the Organic Data Storage System, a way to pack massi...

After the (admittedly) mixed success of the Iron Jellies, the LAE* of House Belloq decided that they should take another crack at aquatic War Mounts. They called in those who would be the for-runners of the Wave-Riders, Outriders and Roughnecks who had a knack or flair for the sea, and sent them on ...

Roscoe Del'Tane

Just a small upgrade again today, I've got something better for you for tommorow, it just needs a bit more tweaking. Many of the War Mounts and the Dreadguard have Organic Rockets installed and are happy with them; they don’t see the need to mess with a good thing that they know works. The OR are an...

Here's the evolution of Belloq's attempts to Burninate the machines. Enjoy. Some of the Dreadguard and Roughnecks have been asking for upgrades to a certain piece of field equipment, one that they feel has been under-performing. One Dreadguard is quoted as saying “I like it. Really, I do, it’s just ...

Just a short one tody folks, got a lot of other stuff on my plate, so hope you enjoy filler-fluff. Bon appetit!

Instead of in the future, how about in the past ? Take the American Civil War era, or the Wild West, both times of trouble and strife, and their own problems with the weaponry. Civil war era guns weren't nearly so accurate as Wild West era, and reloaded even slower, but most towns and cities had mor...
