"Hyper Projectile Barrel"
Does this mean potentially launching little syringes long distances?

So when ARE we gonna see another book? My GM has been grumbling that an equipment book has been overdue for a remarkably long time now.

Even if I do like his homebrew of Progenitus having hospitaller-style space knights, is good fun.

The equipment book contents were rolled into the new core book for the second edition, which has been in testing and production for some tome now to try and produce as robust a product as possible. There are over 100 new items, armors and weapons, as well as surgeries and other fun treats, including the equipment suggestions collected in the kickstarters. I didn't feel right about producing an equipment book for first edition when it became clear that the franchise could benefit more from a second edition. Seemed like trying to sell the same book twice. So I put them into the new one so a splatbook purchase won't be necessary.

Fair enough, thank you for getting back to me, any word on when V.2 might be ready?

tough to say. The rules are actually very far along and working well, but i have the benefit of having a couple dedicating test groups for second ed that I just didn't have for first, so I'm trying to make the most of them. realistically there's still quite a while before it comes out (publishing alone is about a 3 month process, and that's after the book is completely done). However we're only about a month or so away from the kickstarter for the lore compendiums, so new material is incoming

are the items books even out? I thought he stopped working on them

OD&D? Online Dungeons and Dragons?
