This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

common items as weapons

Well the players in my game I'm running are moving forward to the next time period / era in their pre-history. So they will be revising their weapon/equipment lists. One of the characters is proficeint in a martial art called Moo Gi Gong. The main feature the character can pick up and use common household objects as deadly weapons. In hand to hand or if thrown. A hardware store would provide an arsenal for them. The player in the last era of the game began gathering a bag of common items for his character to throw or smack people around with. I know he'll want to do the same this time as well. So I though I would create a random table of every day objects. Then have him roll of on it say 1D10 times. To see what items he has in his possession when he starts. So what are your suggestions for common items to carry around and use as weapons. This game is taking place in 1976. So bear that in mind.

To all that contribute, Thanks!:)
