Flintlock

Flintlocks were invented around 1610. This basi-
cally replaces the lit match with a small piece of flint
which, when the trigger is pulled, strikes a piece of
steel called the frizzen to cause a spark that ignites
the powder in the priming pan, discharging the gun.
The benefits of not needing to carry, or reload while
holding, a lit match to use firearms are obvious.

Firearms 161

Rifled Barrels

The vast majority of firearms are smoothbore, mean-
ing that the inside of the barrels are smooth. This is
the primary reason why firearms of the period are
so inaccurate at range. Rifling, the addition of spi-
raling grooves inside the barrel to better guide the
bullet and improve accuracy, is an expensive process
because it must be done by hand by experienced
craftsmen. Rifled guns are slower to load as the
same thing that controls a bullet leaving the barrel
makes it impossible to quickly jam shot, powder,
and wadding down the barrel in the first place.

Flintlocks did not become widespread until the Rifling:

Pikeman’s Armor

Heavy infantry (which in the Early Modern era was
composed mostly of pikemen) and lighter cavalry
were still in need of armor that could protect in
hand-to-hand combat as well as long-range missile
fire. The most common heavy armor of the day con-
sisted of a breast plate, a helmet with some sort of
face guard, a gorget to protect the neck, and tassets,
pieces of plate that protected the upper leg. As time
went on, fewer and fewer pieces of this armor were
worn. By the end of the period it was quite common
for soldiers who bothered to wear armor to only
wear the breast plate.

Miscellaneous Fire Bomb
Equipment
A fire bomb is a form of projectile used instead of
normal shot. It does not penetrate when it hits the
target, but rather causes a small fireball to explode
upon impact. If a character is carrying this sort of
ammunition and is hit by a fire-based attack, he
must make a saving throw versus Breath Weapon
for each round; for each failure he takes damage as
if struck by a fire bomb.

Mystery and Imagination
Adventure and Death

Beyond the veil of reality, beyond the in uence of manipulating politicians,
greedy merchants, iron-handed clergy, and the broken masses that toil for
their bene t, echoes of other realms call to those bold enough, and desperate
enough, to escape the oppression of mundane life. Treasure and glory await
those courageous enough to wrest it from the darkness. But the danger is
great, for lurking in the forgo en shadows are forces far stranger and more
perilous than even civilization. e price of freedom might be paid in souls.

LotFP: Weird Fantasy Role-Playing presents a sinister and horri c twist
on traditional fantasy gaming. Simple enough for a beginner yet meaty enough

for the veteran, this game will make all your worst nightmares come true.

originally found in the LotFP: Weird Fantasy Role-Playing boxed set.

It contains all the rules needed to play the game.

is is the rst book of a two book set. e Referee Core Book: Procedures and
