Favourite dart weapon chemical
Real Men: Gamma Scopolamine
Real Roleplayers: Narcoject
Loonies: Nitro
Munchkins: This 20D stuff that (like atropine) has to be
resisted again periodically, only the period for
this stuff is one combat turn...

Favourite non-lethal weaponry:
Real Men: Use gel rounds
Real Roleplayers: Use narcoject dart pistols
Loonies: Use banana cream, DMSO, and Laés pies.
Munchkins: Non-lethal? What's that?

I'd make one tiny little change:

Real Men: Insecticide (for all those nasty Bug Spirits)

Let's face it, it's about the only time you'll see a real man using a dart
gun :-)

No, I disagree. From my own experience with the gamers I play with ('Doc,
you missed this session):

The Real Man: super extra strength bleach mixed with DMSO and Burn. (ie:
Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch!)
Real Roleplayer: vinegar followed by a packet of bicarb-soda. (ie: a
distraction I guess)
Loonie: Urine or soda water whichever was the easiest to find/produce at the
time. (ie: dont ask!)
Munchkins: .50 "Dart" launched from a looooong barrel. (ie: What do you
mean? We were supposed to keep him alive?)

Personally, I'd change it to::

Real Men:: His fists.

Who doesn't get the image of a Real Man wading into a bar fight, fists raised, to knock
out their target? :)

That's in the next category but yes, fists are definitely more often used
than darts (unless it's the darts from the pub...) by the "Real Man"
:-)
