I picked this up... It's got some cool ideas and a few nice custom mechanics (for aiming, bursts, 'unreliable' energy clips, targetting aids, etc.). Covers quite a few different weapons as well (from slug throwers to precision lasers).

Highly recommended as there's a lot of material stuffed into those eight pages. I'll be putting it to good use - eat plasma, player scum!

Just remember kids it's ok to advertise/shill your supplement in the main "gaming" forum as long as you run the show. Don't do what I do! Just buy!

Yes. That's my privilege as owner of theRPGsite.  But I should note that compared to almost any other rpg forum I give ENORMOUS leeway to content creators to write about their own products on the main thread.

It is indeed.  About half of the RPGPundit Presents series will be dealing with gonzo-themed material, almost all of which is drawn directly from my Last Sun campaign.

I added my review to DriveThruRPG. I didn't think most of my comments to you on G+ were relevant so I just made a comment on the thing I disagreed with most, plasma weapons and burst fire, but I kept the tone positive because as it is, the book is still pretty handy and a quick read if you need firearms rules for an OSR game that introduces hi-tech weapons.

His forum. Besides, his once-a-week posts are way less frequent and annoying as that Zweihander guy.

"Hey, what system would you use for OSR wilderness hex crawling?"

"Zweihander!"

"Hey, what system would you use for Star Trek?"

"Zweihander!"

"Hey, what would you recommend for a one-handed weapon?"

"Zweihander!"

Thank you very much for the review! It's very appreciated.
