So my best friend likes to randomly send me links to imgur (it’s his latest obsession) and sometimes I retweet them or put them on my Facebook account. Most of them are damn funny and he knows me well enough to know what I find amusing. Last night though, he sent me this link to “supernatural emergency kits.” Not only could I not stop laughing (it’s AWESOME!), I had the urge to actually write these suckers up for GURPS. Which ended up sparking a entire new blog series (which I’ve retrofitted a few posts into this category as they are more thematically appropriate to “The Hurt Locker” than anywhere else. So without further ado…some “break in emergency of…” kits. So what do you do when your girlfriend’s head starts spinning and she throws up pea soup all over you? Well, assuming she’s wearing a blue dress you might just be dealing with the Satan Himself. What about if your find your teacher is a werewolf? Or your sister has been taken by a vampire? Maybe your high school has just been invaded by zombies thanks to a sick student. Whatever the reason, your Emergency Occult Kit has you covered! So Break glass in case of…

That's great! I am glad you liked the link I sent you. When you get the chance, could you do the Winchesters' trunk. I know that it is chock full of sweet gear. -C
I'd need a good photo to crib the info from or even a set cheat-sheet if it could be found. And thanks. You inspired it after all. 🙂
I'm curious, why the match lock pistol? just because of the difficulty with making silver rounds?
Actually, blackpowder ammo is VERY easy to make – even silver bullets and the like. I know this from firsthand experience (the bullet making not the werewolf hunting).
Yeah, keep that disclaimer. You never know who's reading.
Damn it, Roger – stop sifting my cover to the straights. T_T
Right, but the reason not to use a higher damage firearm is just because of how easy it is to make silver bullets with black powder?
That's the jist, yes. Of course, in some campaigns where speciality ammunition is easy to get you'd probably replace it with a fully automatic SMG or some type. But ball ammo remains useful even then if you have something like an Aztec Lich that is immune to everything except obsidian. So you either get in close with a mahatuel or you carve a piece of obsidian into a musket ball.
That lich sounds fun. I'll have to try that some time.
