This thread continues the threads from:

Chapter One: The Basics
and
Chapter Two (Characters)

After the introductory sections in this post, the rest of this chapter is designed to appear as an underground magazine, so pardon me if future posts look a little choppy in plain text...!

===============
EDIT: I've removed this post, since the rules have since changed a bit, and I hope to have the Kickstarter ready to go fairly soon (2+ months).

As I mentioned, the rest of this chapter appears in 'magazine' format. After the 'cover page' comes this editorial:

=======

UNEXPLAINED. IT’S A WORD THAT’S BEEN cropping up a lot in the press lately. I confess, even I’ve been known to use it from time to time. It’s been less than a year since the first reports of the so-called Flux began circulating in the lamestream press, and the city just keeps getting stranger. The megacorp ‘news’ streams are particularly absent of strange materials, but you’ve probably heard the same stories I have, or you may have even seen them: gangs of armored knights dashing through subway tunnels, runners who can now leap great distances, well-dressed junior executives pulling guns and swords to chase dark strangers down the street, V.I.s that talk back to their users, scientific experiments raging out of control, dead bodies rising from their coffins, and so-called ‘Witchers’ who actually do use
‘magic wands’ to hurl energy through the air. Well, I can now tell you...
It’s all true. With this issue, I not only blast the lid off the conspiracy, but provide you with all the information you need to arm yourself and join our vigilante protectors. STAND WITH ME — FOR ARTHUR! FOR GLORY! FOR
THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABL//ERROR//DATASTREAM OVERRIDE//ERROR//

Next comes the Equipment tables and text, still in magazine style design. The tables don't convert easily to plain text, but I'll try to tweak them here a bit so they're easier to read.

HEADER: A Hard Day’s Knight
Subheader: Black market gear for all occasions

IT CAN BE DIFFICULT FOR A NOVICE TO KNOW WHAT WEAPON WILL BEST SUIT HIS OR HER particular needs or skill set. Some prefer a particular type of weapon, while others simply want whatever can deal the most damage. This article lists damage factors for six weapon categories, using terms such as turns, rolls, and various abbreviations for STR, DFT and other factors. (If you missed last issue’s detailed analysis of how to turn your personal attributes into comparable numerical quantities, don’t worry; it’s still free on our site.)

Prices given for many items are black market estimates, due to the unanimous ban on offensive weapons within all corporate districts, as well as the economic stranglehold on body armor and other Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs). Remember, any unlicensed weapon use within a corporate district may result in arrest and detainment by the private security officers contracted to that district or neighborhood.

If you've been following our new peer-reviewed Psience journal, you've probably seen the leaked Globex case reports that suggest the Flux can be more easily contained and damaged with iron and iron-based items (e.g., steel swords) than with many other materials. Whether this is really because Flux-affected individuals have a greater number of magnetite crystals in their brains and are thus less resistant to iron, as the case reports suggest, or because of some native (or even psychosomatic) sensitivity to cold iron, there is no doubt that it works—though only in the hands of persons who have been at least 'Touched' by the Flux. Ranged weapons, even bows and thrown weapons, do not carry the same power.

Continuing the Expenses chapter. This is the second 'article' in the in-world magazine that comprises this chapter.

Now let's delve into wands...

I liked the idea of using wands, but didn't want to make them a requirement. Instead, they're a combination of magical firearm and low-level magic booster.

This text appears as a 'feature article' and completes the magazine article style of this chapter.
