Ops and Tactics

Yeah, it's kinda like this. And yes, all of this is possible.

Ops and Tactics is a homebrew tabletop game. It is currently finished, in 1st Edition Version 1.1 . The addons, Curio and Relic, is currently in Working Alpha phase, and Armory and Weapons Rack, is in pre-alpha planning phase.

Ops and Tactics is a Modern RPG, set between sometime after the cold war, and the near future. It has no definitive fluff, and the users of the game are often encouraged to create their own, in it's absence.

Basics

Ops and Tactics uses a custom d20 system, that has provisions for bleed damage, specific shot placement, and alternate modes of fire for firearms.

The game also focuses on the customization and variety of weapons, specifically firearms, allowing a player to customize their weapons in a number of ways, from trivial(Such as adding finishes and colors to the weapon), to useful(Such as scopes, sights, and weapon modifications). The game also features a massive list choice of listed weapons in a variety of calibers, instead of the normal generic weapon choices that rely on the weapon's "Size" or "Type", to detirmine damage and range.

The core rulebook is written with little fluff actually injected into the gameplay, allowing for a multitude of settings to be used, without modifications to the core rules.

Weapons

Ops and Tactics shines on it's weapons selections. The Melee weapons are broken up into three and a half different categories: Simple, Archaic, Exotic and Improvised.

Simple weapons are weapons that people in the modern world are inherently able to use, such as bats, hammers, stun guns, and shields.

Archaic weapons are weapons of old, usually not encountered in a modern setting, such as swords, Staves, Axes, and bayonets.

Exotic weapons are weapons that require particular special training to even begin to grasp how to use, such as a chainsaw, nunchaku, or a flail.

Improvised weapons are at a half category, because they fall under all of the aforementioned categories, however, they are items picked up and used as one would a normal weapon, such as using a lead pipe instead of a baseball bat.

All of the mentioned weapons can have upgrades installed on them, that make them even more effective in combat.

The Ranged weapons themselves are broken up into two categories: Firearms and Non-Ballistic weapons.

Firearms encompass all types, from the tiny holdout handguns, all the way to anti-material rifles and rocket launchers.

Non-ballistic weapons include bows, crossbows, throwing knives, bricks, and flamethrowers.

All of the ranged weapons can be upgraded at the choice of the user, with a multitude of upgrades that can be stylized for the task at hand.
