skill is entirely relative, get over it

I would play it more. But solo play is kinda boring

true of most games

I'm getting better at the game

It's fucking fun

I still suck tho

Been playing for like 90 minutes

if i DMed i'd be the sort of DM to let literally anything creative or funny fly, cause we're there to have fun, and a flintlock shooting cannonballs is hilarious and makes sense with how the enchantment and magic works

i'd also probably never play with that DM again if they punished something that cool and creative

Your problem is introducing firearms

Isn't firearms in DnD already?

Kinda. But including them in setting up to dm

Ah.

Personally I've always liked the idea of fantasy meeting industrial revolution.

monday is now board game everning

Play Mordheim

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

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.

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

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

Depends on the game how realistic you want it to be

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.

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

@Pidge Copper > Sliver

well thats gay as fuck, so obviously you drop it

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

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

something something gods are whiny liberals?

Why invent guns when you can just fireball fools

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

guilt?

Innocence ?

innocent until?

I am not entirely gay

So who knows

@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.

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

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

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

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