Well firearms being in the setting is just one of a variety of elements included. From basic firearms to advance ones.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rule of Cool, like with lots of the elements of my settings. Firearms can be a fun thing to mix in.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It helps expand the options for the players and what their characters can be like.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Part of Rule of Cool it is just fun to have.</li> </ul>I feel I should say, I don't care about modelling "realistic firearms", they are no more or less powerful then other weapons.Settings written with conflict happening or about to happen:For myself it is another part of the flavour of the setting. A setting is vastly different if for example a war is going on and not. You can run different plots, character concepts, etc. when conflict is going on. There are many personal and epic stories that happen with people in real-life during conflicts. You need not be known across the realms to have a great story.Dark and/or post-apocalyptic settings:Fits very similar to the above. It is a setting element and thus can bring across different character concepts, plots, etc. If everything is fine and dandy then tells of overcoming strife and overwhelming odds can't happen.</blockquote>
