I like the idea of a shop in a campaign, and having varying prices with different merchants seems good too.

There are a few questions I have, however:
1. Will all items be available from all shops (I assume items such as as xeno weapons will be black-market only)
2. What will happen if a character is unable to pay for basic supplies (food, water, fuel etc)
3. What starting equipment will the PCs have?
4. Is there any mechanism for selling items back to the store, maybe for less common items only?
5. Can PCs rob shops? (scenario?)
6. Relating to the above, are there warehouses where goods are stored? (that "you're fighting in a fuel dump, no guns or you asplode" scenario comes to mind)
7. Are there rewards for turning in black market dealers instead of trading with them?
8. Will shops close at certain times (festival days, nights etc), to limit how much trading can be done?

Overall a good concept, but once you introduce shops into a campaign, it's almost inevitable that one of the players will want to "acquire" a large, heavy vehicle and ram-raid a shop/warehouse (this would be me if I participated).

EDIT: when you have put a bracket, and eight and a bracket for the ammunition, it comes out as a bracket and a shades smiley emoticon. Spaces may be able to change this.
Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

I have one big question, how do players get their money, and how much will they get?
Storywise some characters would be enormously wealthy, and xenos weapons would be much more expensive than you listed them.
Circles of the wise My attempt at writing something, please comment on it if you have any advise.

MarcoSkoll

Other than the above questions, the big thing to bring up is you really shouldn't use pounds. Throne Gelt, Imperial credits, something else... just make it something non contemporary.

Also, some of your numbers seem a little funny - like a litre of dirty water costing twice what a revolver does.
If that were truly the way, I suspect water wouldn't be changing hands for money, it would be changing hands for lead.

Laspistols also come in at a bare minimum of 155, which makes them more expensive than any pistol short of a bolt pistol, as well as some forms of machine gun! And a standard Mars Pattern is 215, most of what you're charging for an autocannon.
Not exactly in keeping with the "cheap & plentiful" fluff behind lasweapons.

I assume you don't have the Dark Heresy books, but it might be worth looking at at least the core one. Aside from being full of lots of good fluff on the Inquisition and Imperium in general, it does put monetary numbers down for the classic 40k equipment and weapons.

the pound symbol was a representative sign, I would use imperial credits in a campaign.

Velterax's specialy is in solid shot firearms, thus there is less demand for las-weapons so they are pricecd accordingly. Also, like bolters, las weapons are a status symbol.

1. Will all items be available from all shops (I assume items such as as xeno weapons will be black-market only)
no, the gm will decide (xeno weapons will be, like you said, black market)
2. What will happen if a character is unable to pay for basic supplies (food, water, fuel etc)
they will suffer suffer stat damage, etc.
3. What starting equipment will the PCs have?
they will gat their basic equipment and a sum for equipment
4. Is there any mechanism for selling items back to the store, maybe for less common items only?
yes, but for a reduced amount (haggling possible.)
5. Can PCs rob shops? (scenario?)
yes!
6. Relating to the above, are there warehouses where goods are stored? (that "you're fighting in a fuel dump, no guns or you asplode" scenario comes to mind)
yes (like firearms depots, have you seen joe 90 episode hijacked)
7. Are there rewards for turning in black market dealers instead of trading with them?
yes, and you may get to keep the stock, but sometimes as an inquisitor, you don't want to start wars. BM traders can have friends in high up places
8. Will shops close at certain times (festival days, nights etc), to limit how much trading can be done?
of course!

I'm not hugely keen on the "single biome" planet cliché. Planets with a human inhabitable climate will, almost by definition, take very strongly after Earth in having significant latitudinal variation. (There is a 147 degree C range between world high and world low temperatures.)
Slack is of course cut for worlds with sealed environments, but other than that it feels uninventive (and unbelievable) to just have a planet with a single type of terrain.

Anyway, there's precious and there's ridiculous. When a weapon is a fraction of the cost of your daily water requirements, there would be nothing BUT wars over it. I'd make it scarce and heavily rationed, but only exorbitantly expensive if you're trying to buy extra on the black market or something.

QuoteVelterax's specialy is in solid shot firearms, thus there is less demand for las-weapons so they are pricecd accordingly.
I suppose that's reasonably logical in a desert (Bullets would be less impeded by sandstorms than lasbolts). Not so sure about the status symbol thing though.

Alternatively, tick the "don't use smileys" option in the additional posting options, or break it up some other way.

An easy way to stop a forum parsing tags is to just throw matched [i][/i] tags somewhere in the middle of the code. Which would look like this (8[i][/i]) and give you this (8)

On your first point, isn't Tallarn supposed to be an entirely arid world (though IIRC, that was to do with an invasion by the iron warriors)? And this is the imperium, there is no shortage of worlds with varying climates. For an all-desert planet, it would perhaps have to be classed as a death world, but even so, it's not inconcievable that one might exist.

And on your second, while a lasbolt may be impeeded more than a bullet, wouldn't the laser mechanism be less prone to jamming due to dust than the operation of a solid shot weapon (manual weapons excluded)? Isn't the reason the AK47 is so reliable because most of the parts have large tolerances, so particles don't interfere with operation? In this case, the mechanism of a laser weapon would, having no moving parts, be less susceptible to this sort of problem.

Yes, but that doesn't mean it's good writing or that I like it. The science behind it isn't plausible in the slightest.

QuoteAnd on your second, wouldn't the laser mechanism be less prone to jamming
Ah... a very good point, and one that I'm kicking myself in the head over (figuratively, although I would like to be that flexible). In spite of the better response to visually opaque conditions - but let's be honest about that, if you can actually see them to shoot them, then a lasgun wouldn't have that much trouble vaporising what sand might have been in the way - solid shot weapons just don't make as much sense as the low moving part mechanism of lasers.

I wasn't sure why, but I felt solid shot weapons more suited the planet's temperament rather than practicalities (this is 40K), and half the planet was virus bombed while the other half was desertified by the birth of slaanesh.

If there has been water once, where did it go? it can't have gone into the athmosphere, then it would just have condensated again. It could somehow have fallen apart but because water is very stable it would just have come back.

An arid planet is a possibility. It would only require a very low amount of oxigen, which would lead to other problems such as always having to carry oxigen tanks around.

There are oceans, but they are heavily contaminated by the by-products of phosphor-beta refining.

Quote from: Inquisitor Octavian Lars on February 05, 2012, 07:21:13 PMhalf the planet was virus bombed
You can't virus bomb half a planet. It spreads across the entire world, reducing anything and everything organic to mush and then the atmosphere itself ignites and boils off into space. The result would be a desert (Desert: any area with extremely low precipitation), but because there would be no atmosphere to support rainfall.

Quotewhile the other half was desertified by the birth of slaanesh.
I thought you had Velterax near the Tau empire in the Ultima Segmentum? That's roughly 80,000 lightyears from the Eye of Terror - they wouldn't even be able to see it (unless there's some clause about the warp doing it), given it was only created ten millennia ago.

However:

If there are oceans, then there will be precipitation, and there will be non-desert areas.

(Although I have just noticed that I've fallen into a bit of misconception. Deserts don't have to be sand, and in fact, only 20% of the world's deserts ARE. The largest desert in the world, by a margin of more than half again over the Sahara, is the Antarctic.)

I suppose that if the right atmospheric pollutants get dissolved in the clouds and make the rain dangerous, then the only habitable zones would be the areas without precipitation (i.e. the deserts).
But that is specific to atmospheric pollutants. Water evaporating from the sea wouldn't bring any pollutants with it.

So it might be that the only safely habitable areas are desert, which is a more plausible solution (and achievable without someone blowing up the planet). Still, I can't see that water would be such an insurmountable problem. If you can run a pipeline to the sea, it's not hard to distil out pollutants to get clean water.

If the inhabitable areas are sufficiently far removed from the oceans water could become very expensive, especially when a single party manages to gain a monopoly over them. It would however never become the case that water becomes more expensive than weapons, that would need only very small amounts of water to be present as well as huge caches of surplus weapons just lying around.

This could apply either in a particular region (though then the question is, why can't the PCs leave the region and return) or in a habitat of some kind - a starship, a station, a hollow asteroid, a moonbase...
Questions are a burden to others, answers a burden to oneself.

If you can run a pipeline to the sea, it's not hard to distil out pollutants to get clean water.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but certain forms of pollution, such as radioactivity, do not go away just because the radioactive matter has changed state from liquid to gas.

Filtering out the radioactive water molecules to get suitable drinking water is a possibility, but if 99.999% of the planet's water is radioactive, this would mean that you get 1ml for every 100l you process. If the filtering process is particularly expensive (for example, if the minerals required to make the filters have to be shipped in from off-world) then water becomes a very expensive commodity indeed.
