Smackems 11/27/21 3:56:57 AM #24:	Mr Hangman posted... RPGs want a variety of weapons so they each have differing strategic tradeoffs. Including realistic modern guns would just make everything else obsolete. You can do an actually realistic portrayal of guns mixed in with medieval weapons if they're older style guns, historically they had a much longer overlap than most people realize since for centuries guns just didn't work all that well. But seems like more RPGs opt for the abandonment of any semi-realistic aesthetic with weaponry and just make even modern style guns be inexplicably comparable to swords and bows. That's not true either. They worked great, and that's why they kept evolving while everything else didn't --- Common sense led me to a stinky cave - some dude <cite>Smackems posted [p:960389391] in Fantasy RP...
