Thank you for remember it to me. So this DF: Loadouts is a book in preparation? Cool! Here I can see, too, the Low-Tech Companions are in review now.

This, if I may say, is the point of the book. I do the math (or rather, my database does the math) so you don't have to. When you pick a loadout, you're told which options you should take from the character template so you can use the gear, how many points worth of SG or starting wealth (if any) you'll need to afford it, where problematic Encumbrance levels can kick in, and so on. It's not as flat-out kewl as, say, DF8, but it's immediately useful at the gaming table, and for players as much as for GMs: pick your character template from DF 1-12, pick appropriate kits (all of which use absolutely legal gear, so players can pick it up and use it without worrying very much about what's allowed in the campaign) from among several choices for your template, and go.

Re: [DF] Loadouts
Very good. Equipment selection can be so time-consuming as the 'actual' character creation, or even more given the fact that part of it is strongly aided, in Dungeon Fantasy, by templates, while the other part, gear, isn't. So I'll be looking forward to this book.
Another additional, non mechanical part would be the character background and such, but that's beyond the scope of this thread, and I know, many people regards it as unnecessary for dungeon adventuring.

I used the MH Loadouts with the MH Templates from Pyramid, and there were definitely (minor) issues with Min ST for some Weapons, etc. |
