    Yes... I had noticed the disappointing damages for some of the modern weapons. So I went back and added a new variable :) Now the spreadsheet has a modifier for black powder, an 'intermediary' smokeless and a 'modern' cordite. 

    The type of propellant used is essentially meaningless.  The same bullet propelled at the same velocity is going to have the same performance regardless as to whether it's black powder or modern smokeless. The only difference is going to be the cloud of smoke produced. I am not sure why one would list cordite as a "modern" powder as it hasn't been used for decades.  Modern propellants are typically single, double or triple base composed of (respectively) nitrocellulose, nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine, and nitrocellulose, nitroglycerine and nitroguanidine.  In actual performance, similar cartridges will have similar performance and unless you are using a lot of granularity, the difference between cartridges of the same class will be minor.

  2. I'm another looking forward to this book. We've been running a BRP game set in the midguard of Norse tradition. The eddas are useful, and plenty of ammo for god/hero adventures as well as the more mundane kind.

  3. Flashing Blades and supplements are available in PDF from Drive Thru RPG.

    I am currently playtesting the CoC pirate module, tentatively called "Dark Seas". It is being written along the lines of the 1920's adventurer's companion, and includes a history of the Golden age of Piracy, Notable characters, character archetypes, rules and an adventure module.

    I will start posting sections as they are completed.

  4. While I have been GM for almost 30 years (mostly Traveller), I was only recently introduced to BRP via Call of Cthulhu. I've been home brewing various systems for years, but finally found in BRP a system that's perfect for my needs without reinventing the wheel.

    I am currently working on a CoC setting in the golden age of piracy (1690-1730). Is there a CoC character template out there that I can modify for my game?

    Thanks - Tod
