I wonder if this is getting to the point where something other than this one thread in the forum is needed...
(At the very least, branching out into two threads might be a good idea; one for story and one for discussion.)
Now, in a delayed reac- ... question,
Because without a change in humanity that I'd find hard to believe, there's people out there who will want to have weapons... which will lead to other people needing to have them.

Quote:This strikes me as a good way to get people to give up and stop writing. I'm sure the people here can come up with interesting things to have their stuff do that they can authorially work with. (Of course, there's nothing wrong with pointing out if they haven't done so yet... but arbitrary assignment of something that amounts to part of character creation really rubs me the wrong way.)
Point. My suggestion regarding this, though, would be that individual people cannot determine their own quirks. The GM, or the rest of the community, get to inflict them.

Quote:I'm wondering just what not being able to build weaponry amounts to. Like, if you throw the previously mentioned pile of tools into some plotdevite, can you use it to machine parts and assemble them yourself? Or would you have to come up with non-weapon things that you can take apart and reassemble into weapons to fool it? (Which could lead to a really fascinating set of stuff...)
Second, they can't be used to build weaponry. Some sort of safety lock that "breeds" true and can't be broken. (They can be used to *power* weapons, but if you want to use one to charge up the Reflex cannon you need to build a Reflex cannon first, which leads into...)
