This is a fun idea. I didn't realize weapon gems were available as an option in D&D 3.5. Got to read up on this.

General heading for all RPGs.
Two quick notes on the April/May campaign:
I have a neutral humanoid race that develops crude firearms: a pistol equivalent and a musket equivalent. They are not magical and they are not necessarily high quality, either. Use of them marks a character as Chaotic in alignment.
Making a class for a type of gunslinger (haven't decided if it's NPC only), I looked at the PFSRD for ideas. I like the idea of grit and I can nerf/alter some of the Deeds that spending grit allows.
I decided to try setting up my gunslinger class like the Unearthed Arcana Mystic class. Grit points are used to use a list of Deeds. Spending more grit points on some deeds up the effect.
The other note is that I'm going to provide the option of Usage Dice for arrows, bolts, stones, and all other forms of ammunition. A player can choose one or the other. They can only switch between sessions.
As I am working on a summer 5e campaign, a few things stand out to me:
I should change my neglected Twitter handle to TheHardWayDM. I am enjoying going about this campaign the hard way. (I changed it to TheOddDM)
For example, I'm not using any of the monsters in the MM. Why? Because the cousins got the MM for their father's birthday and they have already memorized it.
I set up a node.js server to handle my personal Creature Catalog so that I can see the stats on my phone and use the laptop for something else. I do this knowing full well that I will use pencils, papers, and printouts for the actual sessions.
Seriously, though, I will have RaspberryPi set up just to be a server.
I have none of the standard races except human. I just have to convert them to 5e.
I want to do theater-of-the-mind play. This is mostly because I can't afford good battlemats.
Anyway, I have found that I seem to tackle all my projects the hard way. Yet, this is the most fun.
I guess the difference in this project is that kids want to play.
The last thing that is very lightly related: I want to use Miltonian Tattoo font paired with Lato for everything.
