[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8554081, member: 7025508"] I wonder how big overlap there is with people who prefer D&D with gunpowder and those who have played Warhammer Fantasy Battles or the associated RPGs... I don't think there is anything wrong with gunpowder in fantasy. It just depends on the style of setting you want. Fantasy pirates game should definitely have black powder! Personally I prefer my fantasy settings to be more tightly temporally focused that D&D usually is. I don't mind anachronisms or different places being on different tech levels, as long as it is intentional and considered, rather than just results of thoughtless lumping of everything from ancient Greece to Victorian era into one hodgepodge. (Seriously, fashion in a lot of fantasy setting bugs me. People in the same country seem to be wearing an incoherent riot of styles spanning several centuries. Victorian clothes, chain hauberks and renaissance puffy sleeves all mixed without rhyme or reason! Fantasy fashion doesn't need to match real fashion, but it should look coherent.) [/QUOTE]
