Will this stuff be in Flower of Battle?

[ShaneNINE]

Will armor have different armor values vs. different weapon aspects (edged, piercing, bludgeoning)?

More armor types?

Peicemeal armor? (chain over leather, plate over leather, leather over quilt, leather plates over chain and quilt, etc)

Infection rules?

[Jake Norwood]

I think most of that will be. You should note, though, that the varied effects in weapon types are covered in the descriptions of individual weapons pretty nicely, and no additional rules are needed. Add that to the fact that there's a fat load of misconceptions about what certain weapons can and can't do, and that so much of what I see people whine about reality-wise in TROS comes from "this is what I learned playing X game or in the SCA or whatever," when those sources are generally full of it.

I do really like the idea of infection, though, which is something that I hadn't hassled with before. That'll go in, I think.

Ooh..  Infection.  Very nice.

Now, not only do you have to worry about the rather graphic wounds possible in this system (at the higher levels of success, 3+), the little ones can get you too.  Very nice.

[Rattlehead]

Oh GREAT! Infection... while you're at it, why not add in rules for STDs too. Then I'll be able to play a riddle-seeking swordsman with a wooden leg, an earache and the clap!

Just kidding... I like the idea of infection... but I couldn't resist.

Pimp

Ah, our 4th supplement, the Flower of the Pimp-Daddy...

Ugh, that puts me in mind of the game we were playing last night.  One of the PCs had been a slave up until tonights session when she finally escaped.

In need of money, and deciding that it was at least a step up in the world, she turned to prostitution to make a living.

Such a supplement would have been handy at that point :)

Oh, you ain't seen NOTHIN'!

One of my players took the "Beauty of Legends" MAJOR gift, and the "Lecherousness" flaw.  He also has a Soc of 7, but he's gettin' screwed for it (in more ways than one).

BTW, what kind of rules would have helped you, Furious D?  I'm writing The Riddle of Gold (but the more I think about it, the more it should be The Lure of Gold, as suggested by Jared Sorensen).

Sorry what is this and what will lit cover and will it publishedor a net goodie??

Since I'm the Seneschal in question, I think I can try to answer this.

It might be useful to have a guideline as to how one would determine the value of a night's take (I'd rather _not_ just go look up "harlot-cheap"), the comparitive dangers from prospective customers, and how long it would take for the local pimps to be bothered by a "freelancer" encroaching on their business. :)

But maybe Zippy had some other stuff in mind?
