A heads up on Weapons

[The Darkness]

Hey folks,
just so you know. We have a lot of new faces joining us and I'd like to make sure that Mike, Lisa, Heather are welcomed properly! Welcome aboard guys!

That said, things look to be off to a good start and now is a good time for a reminder of one of the 'softly spoken' rules so far. With the backgrounds of Arsenal and Military Force restricted in the game. Please all of us should remember that under only very specific circumstances should any of the PCs be wielding military ordinance. Beyond requiring the mention restricted backgrounds, doing so outside of an actual warzone is going to draw very, very, very nasty forces down on the PC. Technocracy, U.S. Military, Strike Force Zero, etc...

The reason for the restriction is to keep the game at horror movie levels (and we don't mean Aliens) so that the supernatural powers creatures possess count and are not simply overshadowed by huge caliber weapons and C4, etc. Players can do all the damage they need with handguns, shotguns, the occasional assault rifle and their powers. Only once in a while should we see the KA-BOOM of a grenade, TNT or something of the like.

That said, game on and

"Enjoy the darkness."

That said, there is one addition that should be added. 

Military grade weapons are not the only the thing that will bring down unwanted attention. A person walking around with a battle axe, bastard sword etc outside of a renn faire or some other such plausible event is going to draw attention from authorities. While less flashy and much less of a bang than say an over and under grenade launcher they do attract attention as this is not the dark ages where carrying such was commonplace. Use discretion and you should be fine.
