Why do firearms in fantasy games almost always get nerfed to shit? There's balance, and then there's making something so bad that no one will ever take it. Why can't we have decent guns along with dwarves and elves and orcs?
>>46714450
well depending on era firearms were shit irl. then past a certain point they are too dam good. i think having the guns is just kinda a no win scenario
>>46714513
A lot of shitty things in the medieval era get glossed over in fantasy settings though. Why would firearms be the exception?

>Fantasy games
Look, if all you have experience with is D&D, just say so instead of making sweeping, untrue generalizations.
In superheroes with swords type games (like D&D), guns tend to be shitty because they're the most boring weapons, they don't make for cool videogamey swordfights where you're "tanking" a giant or whatever, and they're not sexy like an elf with a bow, so they don't get any love.
Plus, effective guns...

"HE JUST REACHED A HAND UP MY SKIRT!" Felice yells, sword drawn; red blush on face.
Dumb, fat, cat-nobleman lays dazzled across a matted table on the other side of the room. There's a red, palm-shaped welt growing on his face.
In front of you, one of the butlers drew a knife and started advancing at the scene. There is now a revolver pressed against his back.
"Don't move." You whisper in his ear.
You are Jack Albator, excellent bodyguard, keen protector, and-
He starts moving away from you again. You grab his cat tail and yank on it. This illicits a very strained yelp.
"Whar did I just say."
"Sir." The butler peeks behind him. "I think this is a misunderstanding. I'm part of the guard that is protecting the princess."
"Stay put for a minute."
-So, why are you at a dinner party where Charlotte is attending? Well, it's because you think the answer to ending all the attacks is right here; within these walls.
You've known for some time now that Gallete had a mole in it. It's no coincidence that after Gallete royalty started living in your castle, that attacks popped up.
By the end of the night, you're going to suss out the traitorous scum and throw him on the other side of the barrier.
The butler in front of you glares, "I have an important mission for the princess, and I intend to complete it to the utmost of my ability."
"Felice, calm down." You hear from the other side of the room. Charlotte is disciplining her knight on the matters of acting ladylike.
"You're one to talk, he-"
"Stop." Charlotte has that ominous tone in her voice.
Felice sighs, and steps away from the man. Two guards lift him up and drag him out of the assembly.
The butler waves to Charlotte. Her face lights up and she starts to approach.
>You're being paranoid, put the revolver away and greet cat Princess.
>Keep him held up.
>Put the revolver away, but keep a firm grip on him
>"Aye still don't trust ye."
>Explain the traitorous chef you saw in the kitchen to Charlotte.

Rules for this are simple. I'm going to post a chunk of text, followed by a set of options. Sometimes there'll be more, sometimes there'll be less. Regardless, the rules for you guys are to take a choice from the options provided and roll a d100 for effectiveness. I'll only look at the first 10 comments after any options are given for rolls determined. To make your votes matter, i'm going to go with the highest voted option, followed by highest rolls. You guys are heavily encouraged to add minor details for flavor. (Rolls make sure that certain aspects...

You began the trip to caravan the needed materials back to the ruined keep, where, upon the first nightfall, you realized that neither you nor your troops have the need to eat or sleep, though your minions seem to be very interested in eating the people when they lag behind. None have been harmed yet, but you grow mildly uneasy about the implications before the thoughts are shoved out of your head at the sound of booming howls off in the distance.
Dire wolves are setting upon the caravan.

First for why can't these guys have daemon bolters anymore?
>>46712222
>cats have a unique interaction with magic
What makes them special?
They do? They are?
>>46711108
Cats are actually quite stupid. Why do you think they're hard to train? You need intelligence to remember and understand orders.
>>46711245
You also need incentive. Most cats don't follow a pack or herd structure so they have no reason to respect your authority.
At what point does modern/semi-modern technology start to overpower magic in a medieval setting like ASOIAF or LOTR?
Although they have some magic (dragons, balrogs, etc) they are general limited in number and the overall population/supply lines/supplies are much much lower than you see in real countries.
At the point when you can mass produce breech-loading or cartridge firearms, it's basically over for fantasy land.
>>46711480
this the invenvtion of fire arms combined with the industrial revolution allowed the creation of massive powerful armies that didn't need that much training
>>46712244
>>46711480
These posters are right but let's not forget that cavalry was still generally the most effective part of early firearm based armies and often they would just run people down, not even bothering with weapons
So if the medieval side has good cavalry, they can sort of compete in skirmishes
You are Captain Kusajishi Riku, and you're feeling rather embarrassed at the moment. After putting your heads together and coming to a series of wrong conclusions, you and your fellow Captains have finally located Head Captain Yamamoto: right in the heart of the Seireitei.
“How did we not see this coming?” you moan, more angry at yourself than anyone else. “We're supposed to be smarter than this!”
Kaoru shakes her head in disbelief. “The Head Captain must have come here hoping he'd be found faster this way.”

Therein lies the dilemma: despite an intimate familiarity with the terrain the defenders have a distinct advantage. You suppose a strong enough push for the main entrance could overwhelm any defenders who were posted there. There couldn't be room for more than a handful of zanpakuto at that point, though the ones that are there would likely be among the more powerful.
“Sounds like a natural chokepoint,” Kaoru frowns. “Do you remember where any of the weak spots in the barrier might be?”
You...

So what's the deal with these guys? Are they actually the only good faction or it's just a facade?
>>46709415
40k does not have any good faction. The grim derp marks everything. The entire eldar fall was written because eldar seemed to be the good faction at the beginning and they couldn't stand that.
The best Tau could be is the least bad.

They're an example of the many small up and coming alien empires that exist in the galaxy, slowly expanding as the Imperium reaches the precipice of collapse.

>Orks are a melee race!

Not gonna lie, I'm genuinely fucking amazed. That price is amazing.
>>46708675
I'm not entirely sure if you mean the price is good or outrageous.
Kinda reminds me of the old adeptus titanicus box.
>>46708675
"Boardgame" with 2 pieces and 2 ruins.
So it's basically a super-expensive adeptus titanicus with shittier rules in a ridiculous scale.
Good for people who want 2 knights for cheaper I guess.
We know nothing but the game still sucks! Edition.

Go Menoth, it's one of the owners favorite faction and it's going to be OP as fuck
The sound of liquid spraying everywhere, the scream of hollows, the smell of blood, a thick red mist.
These are the only things your brain is registering right now.
This was the first time since you became a hollow that killing felt so satisfying.
Yes, this brings back memories.
A hollow in this settlement managed to do alone what only the Third Reich could pull off, he pissed you off.
You could practically feel what that bastard was fantasizing about.
But at least he paid the price.
Now however every single hollow is running around like chickens...

It still took quite a lot of convincing from Pesci to let you stay in the settlement.
As much as they hated the guy they were still terrified that the gillians might go on a rampage.
However with some help and plenty of apologizing from Alex the leader decided to not kick you out just yet.
But you'll have to be on your best behavior from now on.
They both bowed and thanked him for his kindness.
Afterwards you all went outside of the settlements border to show you don't mean to cause any trouble.
What followed was... annoying, to say the...
