Callout from the Fallout, baby!
Input request!
1. I need info/ideas for real world ammo types. Not caliber or anything, but actual types, like FMJ (full metal jacket), JHP (jacketed hollow point) and so on. I imagine AP (armor piercing) is one I know, too. Are there other types? How do they differ? I plan to use FMJ as the "baseline" ammo type, no particular strengths or weaknesses.
2. How about more fantastic types, particularly inspired by video games?
3. Is there anything that you just DO NOT WANT in the game? This can be exhausted tropes, particular creatures, or levels of graphic content. Would it bother you beyond the scope of the game if your characters saw cannibals eating babies? Are you scared shitless of spiders and just wouldn't be able to handle them, even in the game? Has something happened in your life that makes you wig out about a certain sort of crime or relationship or person?
#3 is important because the whole point of a game is to have fun, and if I know something would make it not so for you, I won't inadvertently put it in. If you would feel more comfortable telling me privately instead of in the comments (and it would go no further, on this you have my word), just email, text or call me. I think everyone has my new phone number, yes?.
