- When there’s discussion of realistic (or rather, cinematically gritty) gunfights, I just cannot help but drift the conversation into John Woo territory.
- I just really can’t help myself.
- I should see more actual John Woo, rather than just know him by homage.
- If you want gun-fu aesthetics in a gun fight, maybe you should just really be using the equivalent of your “melee combat” rules. Your melee weapons just happen to have a rather large range, is all.
- I love a generic system with enough – but not too many – dials you can tweak, for both genre emulation and for the love of rules-hacking.

One comment on “random notes from brainstorm session for a generic system but mainly about guns because obviously”

John Woo well worth watching for gun ballet (preferably in order)
1. A Better Tomorrow 1 & 2 (skip 3)
2. The Killer
3. Hard Boiled
You may also wish to check out Heroes Shed No Tears for a more brutal B-movie thing and Face Off to see probably his best, and still crippled by Hollywood, movies.
