That's not something I'd thought of; probably since while I know school sanctioned D&D clubs are a thing, I wasn't actively considering them.
It's the same ones as the ones in the DMG under "Renaissance Firearms", that's really unspecific about the firing mechanism. They're probably Matchlocks or Wheellocks.Are they planning matchlock, wheellock, flintlock, or some new fantasy mechanism?
Being able to reload a heavy crossbow in 6 seconds is equally absurd though, soThe Seas of Vodari, published by Tribality Games, is my go-to for firearms and firearms-themed classes. If you're interested in running a swashbuckling, seafaring style D&D game, you'll find all sorts of goodies.
They've got your Arcane Gunslingers...

I had to house-rule a few things for my table (mostly the reload speed...being able to reload a flintlock in 6 seconds is absurd) but that's about it. My players are really digging it.
Oh I agree, it's absurd. But EQUALLY absurd, I'm not so sure.Being able to reload a heavy crossbow in 6 seconds is equally absurd though, so
A windlass crossbow would take just as long to reload as a musket, if not longer.Oh I agree, it's absurd. But EQUALLY absurd, I'm not so sure.
Yep, I agree. If Heavy Crossbow = Windlass Crossbow, that is a ridiculous reload time. But the "heavy crossbow" as it's described in the Player's Handbook could be any crossbow that takes 2 hands to aim and fire...I don't think a windlass mechanism is described. Flintlocks, however, are explicitly mentioned.A windlass crossbow would take just as long to reload as a musket, if not longer.
Umm, categorically incorrect? Never? Because different writers and designers have different ideas an interests, "canon" is littered with inconsistencies. Off the top of my head.This tweet is categorically incorrect. Greyhawk has never had firearms, as gunpowder doesn't work there. The lone exception to this is the "6 shooters" belonging to Myrlund, but those are actually wands.
