[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6410555, member: 50895"] I say normally I wouldn't play a modern setting, however, though our table never got around to doing it, we discussed the intentions of playing a "Deadlands" style, supernatural old west campaign using Pathfinder gun rules with revolver and rifles as commonly found weapons, and not the rarity that the UC implies. In such a game even the rogue and wizard would have a revolver as a weapon. I even created a Magus archetype called the Shootist whose spellbook is a deck of playing cards, and could wield 2 revolvers and do spell combat (though can't fire the off-hand pistol in the same round as using spell combat.) Unlike the myrmidarch archetype, the shootist only has ranged spell strike, as he's an arcane gunfighter and never plans to do melee styled combat. The shootist was inspired as a cross between Doc Holiday and Roland, Stephen King's Gunslinger. I'd still like to run such a campaign someday, I think the idea has a lot of potential. (This as close to a "modern" setting I'd run, but its quite different than our normal games.) I even created a map for the conceptual setting - an Arizona/desert southwest setting with Apaches, commancheros, Mexican vaqueros, outlaws, gun fighters, mining camps, ghost towns (with undead), unique spirit magic/religion subsystem, some Cthulhu aspects dropped in - trains, stage coaches, steamboats, but more like the old west and less steampunk (I don't care for steampunk at all). If I didn't already have so many projects going on that will keep me busy well into next year, plus my freelance cartography schedule for next year, I'd take the time and actually publish such a PF Old West setting.
