Play Mordheim

Fantasy warhammer is basically up to flintlocks, tech wise, for most races.

2019-09-10 00:23:36 UTC  

Hehe got enough tabs. 😉

Also the firearms in Pathfinder (aka D&D 3.75 or 3.pf) are generally more musket at best. There's some kinda shitty impls for modern ones in splats (I have a copy of a modern book for pf that is largely shit), but that's about it.

2019-09-10 01:45:38 UTC  

The issue is more that the way D&D's rules work don't mesh well with guns.

2019-09-10 01:46:59 UTC  

'course even Shadowrun, a system designed for having guns, is kinda eh from a muh-realism perspective

2019-09-10 02:11:26 UTC  

Depends on the game how realistic you want it to be

2019-09-10 02:28:38 UTC  

The problem with wanting “realism” is that most folks idea of when stuff was invented... is really arse backwards.
You want knights in full plate armour?
Ok. Great. Awesome.
*Plate armour reached its peak in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The full suit of armour, also referred to as a panoply, is thus a feature of the very end of the Middle Ages and of the Renaissance period. Its popular association with the "medieval knight" is due to the specialised jousting armour which developed in the 16th century.*
Ok.
They were using muskets in the late 15th century.

2019-09-10 02:29:17 UTC  

So... 🤷‍♂️ If you want the tech realistic... you gotta include the gunpowder, or have a very creative reason why it wasn’t invented.

2019-09-10 04:54:40 UTC  

well thats gay as fuck, so obviously you drop it

2019-09-10 05:02:40 UTC  

Just go fully automatic AR with enchanted plate armour to protect from bullets tbh

2019-09-10 05:25:26 UTC  

one war was waged with fire arms, the gods when "NOPE" and cucked em

2019-09-10 05:25:50 UTC  

something something gods are whiny liberals?

2019-09-10 05:31:46 UTC  

Why invent guns when you can just fireball fools

2019-09-10 05:35:40 UTC  

Gonna go full troll about magic in my setting. The wizards guilt is extremely corrupt and powerful lobbying organisation who have lobbied to make practising magic illegal without being part of a guild. To even learn magic you must apprentice for the wizards, which is unpaid. Providing you can meet their arbitrary standards you can become a member only after having to pay extortionate fees

2019-09-10 05:38:12 UTC  

guilt?

2019-09-10 05:44:23 UTC  

Innocence ?

2019-09-10 05:44:39 UTC  

innocent until?

2019-09-10 05:46:12 UTC  

I am not entirely gay

2019-09-10 05:46:19 UTC  

So who knows

2019-09-10 07:38:38 UTC  

@MS Interesting notion. I had a similar idea with the alchemists of a world, except the exclusivity was more about manipulating the price of gold via alchemy (think De Beers with the diamond trade IRL) rather than just exploitation.

2019-09-10 07:40:31 UTC  

I’ve got a bunch of ideas for world gen, if you’re interested DM me. They can get rather wall-o-text.

2019-09-10 10:19:48 UTC  

TBH, it takes one rogue alchemist to flood the market with gold, and suddenly, every polity invents paper money.

2019-09-10 12:11:00 UTC  

Really depends on whether the antimagic field from the ring is directional, like magnets, or just a static sphere

2019-09-10 12:11:16 UTC  

Because the cannonball would un-shrink while still in the barrel if it was the second case.

2019-09-10 12:16:09 UTC  

This ring-on-pistol cannon seems more stupid every time I think about it. Like Xaverius points out, if the ring has a sphere of effect, the ball should enlarge while still in the pistol, thus making the pistol shatter immediately upon firing, and additionally, the ring would be pushed away along with the cannonball.

2019-09-10 12:17:30 UTC  

On the other hand, if the ball enlarges due to passing through the ring, and the effect is immediate, either the thing above happens, or the ball enlarges in such a way as to tear the ring apart.

2019-09-10 12:19:29 UTC  

The only way it makes sense is if the effect is pass-through with a delay ... which makes for a really shitty anti-magic ring.

2019-09-10 12:28:52 UTC  

Imagine the recoil

2019-09-10 12:38:57 UTC  

Nah, I'd imagine if it's magic, it shinks it while keeping the density intact, so the recoil is just like with a flintlock.

2019-09-10 12:39:46 UTC  

Way too OP and convinient.

2019-09-10 12:39:48 UTC  

If it doesn't, then you have another reason for why it's stupid

2019-09-10 12:39:54 UTC  

I'd nerf that mofo to the ground.

2019-09-10 12:41:21 UTC  

Like, there's so many reasons why it couldn't work, you have to be a really shitty DM to actually allow hand-cannons.

Can’t wait for the Wendy’s sequel

Will I ever stop fiddling with this build...
