My first burning wheel campaign is in my fashion a little overboard: angels, ancient elves, supernatural warriors, 1000+ cqb's and demons and such--I disgust myself. ((=_=))
In order to hold my players attentions, I create wild fever dreams that I can't possibly have rules for, and unfortunately my perception and will exponents are not high enough to wade through some my drudge without help. Below is such a bind--a player likes it so much that he wants to know more about it and I am starting to show my newness, because I don't what to tell him.
In my first campaign firearms are cutting edge weaponry. A particularly nasty firearm is called the iron blossom. Iron blossom is a musket a large one that shoots out iron nails.
Rather crude and made with a smooth bore and a barrel that flanges like a blunderbuss. It is created with a petrified wood (exclusive to the campaign) that has been tightly and expertly wrapped in jute. The charge is loaded next the payload is a loosely bonded collection of stiff and stout metal pins. The shaft is under 4 paces and runs on a battery ignition (the middle east had crude acid/base battery tech before the first century) the spark ignites the charge and the let go of the charges as fast as a musket does.
I figure that this is an arquebus?
I am comfortable with that, what I am not comfortable with is that although I have made my players interested in the game with thing I can't figure out how to put it in game terms.
My simple mind says "you made an automatic weapon finagle the DOF; give it a eaiser superb, it's a musket use the arquebus rules. Done deal homie."
But it is nagging at me. I am a peace lovin' man, dude I have all that description about how it looks and I don’t know anything about guns, so I can't create a set of features for it. My strongest player RL side is a marksman. I gotta come up with stats for this thing or I will again suffer from walker's over-compensation overextension syndrome (I get confused and can't continue campaign a lot, so much in fact that my groups have named a disease after me.) I really like this one, can anyone who understands this better than myself help.
