OK, up to you guys, but sev trains of thought. Which do you prefer?
1. Right now, I have a very inclusive list. Each is quite large. For eg, look at different spears and daggers (that do the same damage). So, if looking for a weapon there are a lot listed individually for each group.
2. OR, should I combine some obvious ones into one entry and make more use of the Variant & Cultures section? See some of the rifles etc.
3. Should I do #3 for a LOT of weapons and even add things like Vibro/Powered weapons as a Property instead. So instead of having separate entry for each of these, have a Property outlining what to do with each damage system once and then in the Variant/Cultures section simply list Settings that have powered weapons. this would means less weapon entries but a lot of repeating of the Futuristic setting.
Can be taken even further with all the different pistols. So energy, SSP, Accelerator etc all become Properties that modify basic pistols. Either way, there is going to have to be a repetition of info somewhere.
So, your thoughts. Long lists or larger Variants (with possibility of making some weapons Prooperties).
