| POLL DESCRIPTION |
Should designers include gunpowder hand-weapons in fantasy rules systems?
(Not including cannons - just flintlocks, muskets, and similar primitive hand-carried black powder weapons.) |
yes - guns are fun | I prefer games that feature guns.
|
|---|
no - doesn't make sense | It's ridiculous to insert gun technology in a fantasy world, without ripping up the background and designing from scratch.

no - too mundane | Guns are ordinary and boring. If you're going to add something, make it fantastic and interesting.
|
