Where can I find Northern Gun Armor?

Unread post by SkyeFyre »

Not robots, not power armor, just normal body armor?

I've recently started getting back into tabletop gaming (Oh heck, I might as well just say Palladium gaming as that's all I play), and so I picked up this year's Christmas Grab Bag. Well Santa Kev gave me a copy of Northern Gun 1 and while I'm loving it, there are parts in the book where it refers to NG armor. Is it even in the book? Something for NG2? or is this a case of Palladium putting the information in some other random book?

I assume power armors are being saved for the next book, but I would think standard body armor that's in equipment lists would be printed somewhere.

NG2 has body armor galore...

I agree with slight001.
NG2 has a plethora(spelling) of mdc body armors (some just re written from previous books) but some new ones and updated classics

Rifts New West and Merc Ops (and maybe Mercenaries and Juicer Uprising IIRC) all have Northern Gun specific body/power armor, and IINM the "generic" suits from RMB/RUE are also produced by NG.

to clarify: the generic suits are produced by NG only, or the generic suits are produced by NG and other manufacturers with each company having only minor differences in design?

The generic suits are produced by NG and other manufacturers like the Black Market. How different each manufacturer does say Plastic Man Armor beyond game stats is of course up to the GM.

It is in a few locations but the best place is NG2 as it has the full compliation of all the previous NG body armors and a few new additions as well as their armored clothing lines.

The GMG is also a good list of a lot of old gear.
The Clones are coming you shall all be replaced, but who is to say you have not been replaced already.

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.
