Weapons Locker – Melee weapons – Medium, common melee weapons

Technical RPG articles Weapons Locker articles

This continues the low-tech weapons locker article with the medium-weight, common types of melee weapons. Swords, axes, maces, this sort of things.

Amazingly useful to stat low-tech characters, it must be said.

An interesting (but poorly filmed) Mass Effect character. Peak human genetically engineered shadow agent and terrorist, with a lot of baggage.

Happy New Year if applicable !

As with most years, we were planning to skip one update – the late December one. But I ended up splitting some overlong writeups (and touching them up a bit) so they’d be easier to read. So I guess there’s a little something after all.

As always, stay safe during any seasonal celebrations. We wish you a pleasant next 12 months — without Fade demons, Brood embryos, spoors of Ares or any of those bothers.

Our first Carol Danvers profile (they’re in chronological order), so start here. This one covers “flashback Carol” during her career as a military pilot and intelligence agent.

As of December of 2017, this article was split into two. Because it was a bit too long, and because there’s LOTS OF STUFF in it.
