Old School Armory

This is one of the best OSR equipment lists and resources out there. This quickly drops into any OSR (or generic system) game and gives you an instant gear list with prices and weights.

You get gear sets and packages, so you can pick a pre-created gear loadout and get playing!

There is a discussion of encumbrance rules and an alternate system that uses slots. Are you playing an old-school game that doesn't have an encumbrance system, like Dungeon Crawl Classics, and want to add it to the game? This is your book, and since it only covers gear, it becomes an expanded gear book for the game that fits right in perfectly - with much more to buy and choose from.

You also get primitive gunpowder weapons, in case your DCC game is more Renaissance. A side note, the Crawl! issue #8 has a more DCC treatment of the subject, with some nice critical and fumble tables for firearms specifically in DCC, along with an expanded selection. There is nothing stopping you from using those tables with this expanded list of guns though (2 gunpowder-era guns in Crawl! #8, and 14 here plus bombs and cannons).

One of my highest recommendations, especially for using DCC to simulate old-school play, hauling treasure out of dungeons, and for players who love spending and shopping.
