[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 6902975, member: 6704184"] I'd rather see a setting in which guns and industrial tech don't make the setting any less a fantasy setting. I'm kinda tired of the "tech and magic don't coexist well/at all trope." YMMV, of course. Also, I could see guns making armor less important, and magic *more important*, even if all magic can do is slow down bullets. Also, it'd be interesting if guns and other tech force people to advance the methodical science of magic, mirroring the decreasing mysticism of alchemy in the early modern age. Chemistry didn't replace alchemy, nor science replace natural philosophy. We just came up with new names to distinguish the old era from the new. I'd love to see that happen with magic, and a world where magic and technology are becoming increasingly two branches of one thing, and magic is less and less the purview of the rich and lucky, and more and more a tool of the common man. Id drop every game I have for that setting. [/QUOTE]
