The GURPSDay<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>treasures continue to fall, week after week after week, and I hope you are\u00a0availing yourselves of all the wonderful GURPS goodness out there!<\/p>\n

Today at Game Geekery is the first in a new series called “Tidbits,” a write-up of a small business, Gina Marie’s Gun Emporium<\/strong>, which can be easily dropped into most modern urban settings. The legitimate gun shop does a brisk trade, but primarily the Gun Emporium is a front for the much more lucrative business of selling and smuggling illegal arms. Below are a basic\u00a0map of the premises, details of the locale, and stats for the major NPCs.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h2>\n

Gina Marie’s Gun Emporium<\/strong> has been a successful downtown business for years, providing competitive prices and a solid selection of civilian-available firearms (Legality Class 3, license required). The eponymous owner, Gina Marie, is a well-known local figure and active in the community.<\/p>\n

The store, however, hides a secret: it is actually a front from which Gina Marie and her shady employees sell illegal weapons out of a secret back room. Their illicit roots go deep, and so far Gina’s well-paid “friends” (two beat cops, a detective, a court clerk, and even a judge on the payroll) have always kept them off of law enforcement’s radar.<\/p>\n

Any character in the area looking to purchase an illegal firearm can find their way to the Emporium with a successful Streetwise-2 roll. If they ask an employee about the “friends and family discount,” they will be given a time (after normal business hours) to return to the store’s rear alley entrance. There they will be screened, frisked, and swept for electronics before any business is conducted.<\/p>\n

Gina Marie keeps a wide variety of Legality Class 2 weapons (SMGs, assault rifles, even a few hand grenades) in stock. Given enough time and money, she can put her hands on certain Legality Class 1 weapons as well (whatever the GM allows, but usually things like grenade launchers, machine guns, maybe even LAW rockets\/RPGs). She also sells LC2 and LC3 body armor.<\/p>\n
