Armed Forces [Regular equipment deck]You've read the book. Regular equipment don't have cards. This is what i always miss about in RCE edition. In previous editions your character started (if your Gm is generous) with some mundane items. It may show where she works, her interests, or ambitions. These little items help immersion. Sometimes players improvise some kind of WMD or otherwise use what they have to solve any situation.
Below i present a list of random Regular equipment for Service Group 'Armed Forces'. 52 items - to match quantity of standard deck of cards. Or if you prefer, you can roll a 52-sided die. What is convenient for you.
The rules are simple: during 'Step 5. Detail' of character creation Gm asks you, what do your character do (what's hers Service group) and will give you three random cards (items from the list) . Additional rule: you can spend a Moxie point to draw another 3 cards from Regular equipment deck of
another (not yours) Service group.
Go.

p.s. As this is the first SG deck, i need some help. I'll post somewhere in the future the rest 7 lists. Creating the lists i kept in mind that i want (1) thematically different decks, (2) no duplicates, (3) simple, regular items (as for useful items we have usual 'non-standard' cards from the box(es)). But i'm only 1 person, and more brains the better (or whatever the Psion proverb says), so i'd like to hear (actually read) your comments: maybe some items suit more thematically to another SG; maybe i placed duplicate items; could get better naming or wording. Yes, yes, i could just copied twenty-something B3 flavors for PLC deck, however 'nobody buy deck consisting of bold ROYGBIV-colored reflecs and barrels' (oh, boy, such useful, but boring deck of [8 x 6 + 7 x 6 = 48+43] cards).
