That's really what we want. Of course, we want informed people to come up with all this. If we have to spec and research all these details, we're not going to pay a freelancer to do the writing!

If I understand the explanation Kromm posted what they're asking for is Tactical Shooting but for photography. If so, can we call it Tactical Photo Shooting? I must admit that I'm intrigued by this proposal, but have doubts that I'm the man to write that book. |

And I'd have had better answers than what I pulled from my behind regarding how close they needed to get for clear pictures at night, with two streetlights out and some internal light from the open door illuminating the exit as the targets walked out, based on what photography gear they had with them.

Re: Talking about... Warehouse 23 Wish List for GURPS
I just ran an Action/MH/Horror game where one adventure had the PC's doing security on a yacht for a photo-shoot in the Carribean. Boat was borded at night by some fishmen & one of the PCs had the Idea of using the camras flashes to blind the fishmen.
I think it would be great to have a book that could help with situations like that and other photography related issues. |

Well that title was suggested as a joke. But OTOH photographers frame, shoot, and hang people. Some even drown them in the process, though that was more common 15+ years ago.

Re: Talking about... Warehouse 23 Wish List for GURPS
Would gurps photography include audio recording as well? in many cases where you want to do one, you're going to want to do the other.

Re: Talking about... Warehouse 23 Wish List for GURPS
Many but not the majority of cases, at least not before cellphone cameras became ubiquitous. Mind you, I do see the value of bundling rules for audio and video in the same supplement...

Re: Talking about... Warehouse 23 Wish List for GURPS
True- I don't see GURPS High-Tech: Microphones getting much market interest.
This presupposes my next question, which was whether video should be part of photography. Although, if video is a separate book, audio would more naturally go with it than still photography. ETA: Just as robkelk said, really...

Re: Talking about... Warehouse 23 Wish List for GURPS
At that point you may as well add bugs and title it High-Tech: Surveillance (Which I'd buy if I had a budget, and it existed; I'd also write it, if I were remotely competent to do so, but my knowledge of that subject is pretty minimal)
