Recently, I've been asked whether I planned to provide a price list for all the gear in the Sprawl Goons trilogy. Originally, my intention was to leave it up to individual GMs to determine the values according to their perceived game-worlds, but realised it may be helpful if I created a base-line.
These toys are priced in bit-yuan, but could just as easily be valued in dollars, nuyen, bits, eurobucks, credits, or c-bills. Pick your flavour.

Nice addition. I think it's nigh time for a printed, compiled edition of all of Sprawl Goons (and Augmented Reality?)
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that…
DeleteCurrently working on a POD Sprawl Goons tree-murder edition, with a revised layout. ;)
Ooooh, great news!
DeleteBTW, do you have a release date in mind?
ReplyDeleteIt got pushed back a bit by urgent house renovations and some family stuff, but hoping to have it up in mid-late July (plus or minus the time it takes to get my proof copy through).
DeleteI was hoping to have it out by now.
Thanks for the update.
DeleteGot myself all three parts of Sprawl Goons today. Nifty.
ReplyDeleteWhat I see (or rather, do not see) so far:
- there are no vehicle rules at all.
- there doesn't seem to be stun rules, though stun ammo is mentioned.
- different ammo types exist, but there are no game effects associated with them.
- all armors seem to be the same.
- many game systems in the genre incorporate some sort of rules for cyberware affecting user's personality (cyberpsychosis and the like). Could be useful to have that.
- The price list you've posted above would be a nice add-on. Though pricing amunition per 50rds makes little sense if you don't get into detail on how many bullets are in a magazine, and how fast are they spent. Perhaps charge per magazine?
- sample / standard NPCs could be useful.
All in all, I see a potential for a 4th book of Neon Goons.
A few thoughts about what Mike said:
ReplyDelete- Some specific Vehicle/chase rules would be cool
-I think specialty ammo simply adds +1 to the Action Roll, whatever type you are using, unless the GM says otherwise.
-Stun ammo/damage, I think you could handle it by having all Stun damage heal at the end of a round and not having people die when reduced to 0 or less Resilience by Stun rounds.
-Cyberpsychosis and the like: I think that's what the "cheap street tech quirks" table is for, actually.
- It looks like armor is more or less all the same (+1 to a roll) in the Goons system unless the GM says otherwise (like: no, you can't add that armor to this roll because laser cuts through chain mail as if it wasn't even there)
Sorry, I meant:"having all Stun damage heal at the end of combat"
DeleteI guess I'll be contacting Geist via a different channel with some ideas :)
ReplyDeleteStun damage... well, the only stun damage in this system seems to be a result of stun-specific weapons. So, the point of using it is to disable the target without killing it (either because we need to capture them, or we don't want to leave dead bodies behind us for some reason). I'd rather assume that if anyone is "killed" by stun damage, they are instead unconscious. The damage can (and needs to) still be healed via normal means.
Some armors might be ineffective against some forms of stun attacks, while other forms of stun attack might might be completely useless against certain armors (i.e. I'd expect gelrounds to be pretty ineffective agaisnt a heavy ceramic armor. At the same time, nothing but NBC-sealed armor is going to protect you against sleep gas).
Question: should the stun damage be tracked separately from normal damage, or together with it...?
Armors: I see - after a closer look - that some armors have specific extra attributes. Given the armor still adds only +1 to combat rolls, regardless of what you're wearing (that is, unless +2 and so on armors get introduced), I think we should follow the example set and add distinguishing attributes to all armor types presented.
I probably would track Stun and Lethal damage together, it seems easier.
DeleteOkay, here's a few quick answers.
ReplyDelete• Vehicles, chases and combat are on the drawing board. Trying to stay with the player-facing DS mechanic for everything.
• Artikid is right, Speciality Ammo just confers a +1 and is subject to GM choice.
• Again, Artikid nails it, RE: stun damage - apply like normal damage until you hit 0 Resilience, then you're unconscious. You're back to full Resilience at the end of the combat.
(Alternatively, you could simply allow an Equilibrium roll, minus the 'damage' taken vs DS10 to stay conscious.)
• I was trying to avoid the whole Cyberpsychosis thing, seeing it as predominantly a CP2020 thing. But cheap tech quirks (or similar) could fill that void.
• Yes, armour is all +1 to combat Dangerous Action Rolls, but I do like the idea of differentiating each armour type, so I'll give that more thought.
• Ammo is for players to keep check of. If they've 50 rounds, there's a full magazine and a bunch of bullets in their pockets, unless they say otherwise. ;) Perhaps I should ammo counts per mag for each of the published weapon types…
• I was considering some sample NPCs and I'm happy to work some up, it just seemed a little… simple? They get a DS, some gear, a look, and maybe a personality. :D
Some great food-for-thought, though. Thanks gents!
Updating: vehicle rules are well in the works :)
DeleteGuys, I need a sounding board. I'm writing a vehicle showroom for the Sprawl Goons vehicle rules. How many vehicles should be there?
DeleteOn one hand, to give the GM enought examples to grab one every time they need one. On the other, no point of making the rules swell too much (and honestly, how often do you need a dozen of verious tank models in your game...?)
Say:
3-4 bikes
3-4 cars
2-3 large cars / vans
2-3 trucks and 2 buses
1-2 APCs
1-2 tanks
2 ships and 1 submarine
1 train
? VTOLs
2-3 small aircraft
1-2 medium aircraft
1-2 large aircraft
1 airship. Maybe 2.
? power armors / tanksuits.
? walkers
Thoughts?
Oh, wow, that's a lot of stuff.
DeleteI think you have basically everything covered, and then some.
Maybe add something on drones and AI controlled vehicles? Hacking vehicles?
There is an option for remotely or AI controlled vehicle. Which could be any vehicle. It doesn't make much difference, rules-wise, as with Sprawl Goons rules everything has to be kept relatively simple anyways.
DeleteIf you want to go all the way drone, wasn't there a book called "Remote Control" around? ;)
Hacking vehicles... excellent point. I'll include the rules in a moment.
However, I was asking about sample vehicles. I have no idea how many VTOLs, tanksuits and walkers should be included as sample vehicles.
Mike, I think the number of vehicles listed is adequate, I guess people will be making their own stuff using your work as a jumping board.
DeleteI'm sure they will, that's kinda the point :P
DeleteThank you for your opinion, that's exactly what I needed :)
Back to inventing those vehicles (I'm at the buses & trucks at the moment, going top to bottom of the list).
NPCs of note could also be easily created as if they're PCs - just use their Resilience (plus armour, etc.) as their DS.
ReplyDeleteI believe there should be guidelines for that, then.
DeleteStarting characters are at 4 attribute points. But, 1. they don't remain starting for long, 2. We don't always want NPC equal to be equal to strting PCs.
I was thinking that NPCs could have diversified DSs. Like
ReplyDeleteHum4n z CyberNinja
DS 10 (12 for Stealth and Perception, 8 vs Ranged attacks)
Or
Dumas- Outof luck hacker
DS 6 (4 to resist bribery and intimidation, 8 for hacking)
Oh, I do like that! What a great idea! Simple, yet flexible. May I steal that for the future?
DeleteSure!
DeleteThanks! :)
DeleteNice post! Do you guys have Twitter/fb/ig so I can follow up on your updates?
ReplyDeleteNope. Here is where it’s at. :)
DeleteAny updates on the Augmented reality second edition or the Sprawl Goons compendium?
DeleteNot to my knowledge. Last time I heard from Geist, he was still working on the vehicle sourcebook. Oh, and tackling some RL shenaningans that just came about.
DeleteI guess it it a good time to poke him about stuff :P
Augmented 2 is an early WIP, the Vehicle book for SG will come out first (almost there!), followed by the POD SG book.
ReplyDeleteAs Mike says, I’ve had some IRL stuff to deal with (which is ongoing), hence the delays. But stuff is still happening, albeit behind the scenes right now.
But thanks for asking! :)
I really need to update this blog too!
ReplyDeleteYou do indeed!
DeleteI m sort feel amazed I inspired that list.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for doing so!
DeleteAren´t the prices for implants/cyberware a bit low? I know that they are meant to be mass produced established-on-the-market products, but so is e.g. the PKD-45 Police Special Revolver for. 500 b¥ In comparison, the implant/cyberwaer seems cheap. I have the same feeling in regard to the personal drones, to be honest. I for one would double them in both cases.
ReplyDeleteI guess it comes down to personal preference.
Delete* If you want cyberware to be "cheap" while guns are "expensive", stick to the default prices.
* If you want cyberware to be "expensive", double the cost. Or triple it. Or quadruple it, etc. Do you want guns to also be expensive? Or maybe you want cheap guns in your campaign setting - then slash the ptice by a 1/4th, or by half.
I mean, it may even be true for different areas of the same world: if guns are basically illegal and hard to get inan area, they're going to be expensive like heck there (and available on the blakc market only).
At the same time, the place may have heaps of (non-gun) implants that are mass-produced and easily available (and legal), resulting in them being cheap there.
Getting stuff from the place where it is cheap and plentiful to places where it is rare and expensive (and in high demand) is the basic principle of commerce :) ...and if it is also illegal, of smuggling. Wait, isn't that an adventure hook...? ;)
