Fantasy and Guns

[Olgar Shiverstone]

The problem isn't that they're weak. Gnus can be quite powerful. But, they have a low Dex, so keeping them balanced is a challenge. They keep falling off the tightrope...

Try stacking them on a giraffe.

It's been a while since I read them, but William Forstchen's Rally Cry series was about a regiment of Civil war infantry and artillery men that gets swept into an alternate universe populated by remnants of past, seafaring human civilizations and what are basically the mongol hordes except made up of giant four armed monsters. I'm pretty sure that magic got shuffled into the story after the first couple of books.

The Temeraire series by Novik.
Its the Napoleonic Wars, just that dragons also exists and are used by all sides as air force (and they are big enough to carry several musketmen)

 

[Hand of Evil]

Iron Kingdom's stuff also, In Thunder Forged: Iron Kingdoms Chronicles by our own Ari Marmell

Number of the Warhammer books.

The ERB hollow earth, dino and guns. ERB used a number of guns in his stories but that was pulp.

Stuff that leans more to Horror, seem to have more guns in them.

I think people think guns make creatures easier to kill but if you look at ERB, you find that most weapons did not have an impact on dinos as hide was too thick, you needed a bigger bullet capable of taking down rhinos and elephants.

I know stories about Lewis and Clark vs. grizzlies: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/lewisandclark/record_species_194_6_1.html

I can't tell if you are joking.

why you think am joking?

Everything Shadowrun.

Just instead of rifles and revolvers you have MPs, assault rifles and miniguns.

 

[Grumpy RPG Reviews]

why you think am joking?

Martin's books - including storm of swords - are low-magic fantasy, with a dour tone but no gun play to speak of.

 

[DrunkonDuty]

Stephen Hunts Jackellian series. It's a steampunk-ish sort of style. Much fantasy and down right weirdness. And plenty of guns.
