[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5076546, member: 50895"] I think I have clearly and logically explained why my "doesn't fit my history" premise is not a bag argument. If you're referring to those that tried to insist that guns ended armor - which was a bad argument, but only due to lack of knowledge. Most non-historian types might not realize some of these "truths". However, I think you missed my edit to a previous post where I explained that my interests stops with the Rennaissance (which had guns), meaning I don't play Rennaissance settings, as for me, that's too modern for me. And even qualified to say I prefer setting technologies between 500 BC and 1000 AD - which doens't even include the medieval period. I did play your kind of non-historical though roughly middle ages to Rennaissance typical D&D back in 2e days. But my tastes have changed, and now I like settings loosely set in specific historical time frames, and in places where guns do not exist. You may not want to play this kind of game, but I do. This does not make it a bad argument, just a personal preference. [/QUOTE]
