Well here's some feedback ;)
Hey I’m reading it and this web enhancement almost make me want to start a new Masque campaign. So good work here Rucht
Some specific comments:
About firearms, I like the idea of how you applied rules for reliability. You forgot to put the shotgun though, same on you
I like how you handle linguistic rules, for me, it makes sense and it’s realistic.
The feats are all very well made except the sniper feat which seems a little unbalancing in my opinion. The two feats to accumulate linguistic and knowledge skills are very useful too.
About the Marqued campaign: Well I like the concept and it’s rare that I like campaign ideas so it’s a great compliment I’m telling you. When I was reading it, it screamed: Demon Knight (From the Tales of the Crypt mini-movie) where the hero is hunted by demons because he caries the blood of Jesus Christ. I already had ideas how to put it into my games
Oh and what a neat idea this Living blood side-effect… hehe.
About the Thule, it’s a nice idea for recurring villains in a campaign. I like how the main NPC was wrote-up. Still, I never heard of the Thule before.
Also, I suppose you need the Masque campaign setting to understand what are the Foreigners (Cthulhu like beings?)
Overall, nice web enhancement Rucht, 4 drops of blood!

I think the languages rule could be implemented in Ravenloft too, or any setting where there is no "Common" language. I really like what I've read, but my printer is having a fit and reading off screens can give me a headache after a while, so I've not read it all yet.

I have been reading the Web Enhancement and LOVE IT! Thanks Rucht for all your hard work.
I do have one scruple though... I love the new weapons, but what do they cost?

There are no prices for firearms in the table.Drinnik Shoehorn wrote:Is the firearm table completely full for for everyone? It's not for me. I think I may have an old copy of Adobe.

I couldn't find any descriptions but I see what you mean by using the Rate of Fire to determine what kind of weapon it is. Also, in the MotRD book, there is no pocket revolver. Do I price it the same as a Navy Pistol because they are similar weapons based on the RoF?Rucht Lilavivat wrote:The prices for the weapons can be found on p. 135 of the Masque of the Red Death d20 book. Right where it specifies handgun and longarm.
The Spencer Rifle is a repeating carbine, as described in the Web Enhancement. The Winchester Rifle is a repeating rifle, and the Buffalo Rifle is a breech rifle.

I would price the pocket revolver to be equal to the navy pistol, yes.
As for descriptions of what each weapon is and how it's unique from the others...no the descriptions were no included, because the web enhancement was supposed to be an addenda.
Probably a web enhancement 1.5 needs to come out with the write up of each firearm.
Until then, here's a quick, quick breakdown of each weapon.
Derringers: Small, hand-held pistols that fit into the palm of the hand. Easily concealed, but only effective at close range. The weapon used to kill Abraham Lincoln was a Derrigner-type weapon.
Pocket Pistol: Small guns used primarily by gamblers and ne'r-do-wells for concealing in the pants. Larger then the Derringer, but smaller than a normal pistol. Easy to conceal and holds more bullets than a Derrigner, but notoriously inaccurate, unrealiable, and ineffective.
Navy Pistol: This is refers to the Navy-issue of the Colt revolver, which was smaller than its army cousin. Though smaller, the Navy pistol was a tad more accurate.
Army Pistol: This weapon is the famous Colt Single-Action Army Revolver, which is featured in many western films. Known to be a reliable weapon with alot of stopping power. Here's a link for more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Single_Action_Army
Carbine: A carbine is a shorter version of the rifle. The Spencer carbine is the weapon featured in the movie "Unforgiven."
The Winchester: This is a lever-action rifle that is also featured in many western films. The Winchester rifle is a superior weapon that is realiable, accurate, easy to cock, and easy to reload. It transformed the Wild West as well as warfare around the globe. You'll note that Quincy, in the novel Dracula calls for the use of Winchesters. A little game note - the overseer of the Winchester Rifle company is the Window Sarah Winchester, who is featured in the back of the Masque d20 book.
The Buffalo Rifle: This weapon was used often in Safari or on hunts. It is extremely large, with a very long barrel. The noise that it makes is deafening. Very deadly, but slow to use.
