Equipment lists

Thanks for the responses. Weby, that link was excellent. If that's yours, you put a lot of work into it!

So the sense I'm getting is that people tend to be somewhere in between the two extremes I mentioned. You don't list each and every item, but you do tend to list a lot of items rather than just blanket rules of what's available.

Thanks. Yes, it is part of my campaign preparation for my next campaign that will start in about 4 years after the currently running fantasy campaign story arc ends.

What I do is use an armor list based on GURPS Lite because I don't want to bother with hit locations (or if I do, not worry about different locations having different DR), a weapon list like this one, and allow all sorts of mundane non-combat equipment. DF's quality modifiers will usually mostly be on the table.

So you basically say, "Anything else that makes sense"?

Yeah. So long as it fits the world's aesthetic, which the TL 0-5 stuff in Basic and extra additions from DF sources usually do.

Ultra tech is where this shows up the most. I usually do a rundown on a few items. The things that get the most attention are AI, Cybernetics (including uploading tech), genetic engineering, nanotech, and superscience.

Usually players will then poke around for clarifications in the areas they are interested in.

Agreed. The various tech paths described in UT are useful, but only the start.

Usually, but not always. There are those who say, "Well, why not?" when I mention that a certain technology has not been developed, usually from futurists and transhumanists when I mention nanotech, brain uploading, and AI without Reprogrammable not being in a setting (because I'm shooting for a safetech space opera rather than transhumanist uploaded nanoswarms).
