More Random Issue Gear

By Magnus Grendel, in General Discussion

I love this table, and I love the idea. The players have had no end of fun (and profit) trying to figure out a 'creative' (Kelly's hero's style) use for some of this crud*.

However, with only 26 to go at, people will see repeats quite often. I therefore suggest a thread with some suggestions for alternates.

Identify the item as either [useless] - up to about 25, [possibly useful] - 26-60ish, [actually useful] - 61-115ish

Some starting suggestions

[useless]

A set of two dozen ratling-sized boots

Twenty metres of (rusty) accordian wire

Twenty Litres of Red Vehicle Primer and Twenty Litres of White Vehicle Primer (anyone seen Operation Petticoat ?)

[Potentially Useful]

Half a dozen Earthshaker Shells (Without Propellant Charges)

*Quote from previous game:

"You get…umm….A case of 100 copies of The Imperial Infantryman’s Uplifting Primer."

"Excellent!"

" Wha ?"

"I need a commissar's uniform, the inspection schedule for the Mordian regiment quartered at the bastion, and a couple of micro-beads. We'll make a fortune …"

Genius… and exactly how the random equipment should work. Opportunity for clever players. :)

5 Mono-Bayonets

A case of 10 auto-pistols and 200 rounds of stubber ammo.
