Years ago, as I was trying to conceive of a perfect method of calculating an accurate damage system for firearms in Fudge, I was reminded of the elegant system in The Morrow Project. Re-reading those rules, I dove down the rabbit hole of the physics of ballistics and even bought a book on the subject (as well as numerous books of data pertaining to historical firearms)—all so I could devise rules for Fudge. Fudge! No, the irony is not lost on me. Sometimes, sometimes, rules tinkering is the path of madness.
Eventually, my relative sanity was restored and I remembered that the simple solution is always the best solution in Fudge. I shall post my simple solution in Creative Reckoning someday, but in the meantime, never forget: When in doubt, fudge it.
