[QUOTE="Ace, post: 8095648, member: 944"] A lot of DM/GM's can't even handle much in the second and third tiers of D&D and so being able to buy gunpowder something that could be done IRL by the late middle ages is too much for them. Really if D&D didn't have a big player base and first mover advantage, a lot of people would be better off playing something else, some kind of lower magic, higher fantasy , lower powered game. Lost of monsters and spells but a lower cap instead of capping at say 14th like B/X or 20th like others, it might cap at L or L12 like 1st edition Castles and Crusades. Epic 6 for D20 from this very board was one such attempt and may experience with it was very good but I think it needs to be a bit higher However people are used to D&D and its a good system everyone understands so basically a lot of lower level play happens and the occasional higher level play too.
