This means a few things, for instance, light firearms are relatively commonplace. In addition, costs are much less inflated. There are adventurers of every nationality visiting Zorn and this would normally make currency quite a hassle however the many ruins that dot the landscape are also filled with ancient gold and silver coins of mysterious origin.
In order to make everyone's life simpler, everyone uses these as currency while on Zorn In addition, I am changing the standard coinage from Gold (in SPG) to Silver. This means that XP and prices are all listed in silver coins or lower.
When making relevant conversions for items not listed on price tables, here's my rule of thumb so far.
- 1 Zorn Gold Piece is worth 10 US Dollars in 1940
- 1 Zorn Silver Piece is worth 1 US Dollar in 1940
- 1 Zorn Copper Piece is Worth 10 US Cents in 1940
Firearms
New Firearm Rules
The original GLOG did not have dedicated rules for firearms. This needs to change for this setting. Many of these changes are at least loosely inspired by another system, Stars Without Number by Kevin Crawford.
- Firearms have a maximum number of bullets that can be loaded into them, after firing that many times, they must be reloaded with an action.
- Firearms have two range distances, the first of which marks the distance that they can be fired at with no penalty, and the second listing the range distance at which they fire with disadvantage, they cannot fire beyond this distance with any semblance of accuracy.
- Firearms cannot be fired in melee range, the exception to this is Firearms that can be wielded one-handed (such as handguns).
- Firearms can be clubbed up as an improvised melee weapon as an action.
- Some Firearms have special properties, they will be detailed below the Firearm table.

Blast: When firing this weapon, the attack roll can be against up to three enemies that are within 5 feet of a square, when doing this, all targetted enemies must make a dex save or be hit, rather than an attack roll..
Melee Weapons
New Melee Rules
Due to the inclusion of mass-produced firearms and the fleshing out of new rules, I felt it fitting to add a few special properties and rules to melee combat as well.
- When a Melee Attack is made, hit or miss, the enemy takes damage equal to the attacker's strength modifier.
- Some Melee Weapons have special properties, they will be detailed below the Melee Weapon Table.
