[QUOTE="Archmage, post: 3929949, member: 6760"] Like jasonbostwick, I run a Ptolus game so guns are out there. None of my PCs use one at the moment, even though they've found several and even a couple of masterworks. In Ptolus, guns do better damage than crossbows but are expensive and have a chance of misfiring. The ammunition is expensive too - when fired on by bad guys for the first time, the merchant cleric said "stop him, do you know how much each shot is worth?" or something to that effect :) This is the first time I've ever used guns in a D&D campaign, and no problem so far. There has certainly been no rush by the PCs to arm themselves with guns, even though they have a fair amount of disposable cash. I think the place for gun rules in D&D is where they've always been thus far - as an optional section in the DMG. They have a place at least there because of the various genres they would serve - steampunk, pirates, Three Musketeers swashbuckling to name a few. [/QUOTE]
