When someone gets shot, they get pulled in for a big hug.

All of my crossbow bolts are now useless...

Nothing, because crossbows are not invented yet. It's the age of sticks and stones.

I said "sticks and stones", not spears. Literally.

The most complicated weapon you'll ever find is a stone tied to the end of a stick with some grass.

Twist: I run Pathfinder. Twist twist: no full casters.

I'd like to run a campaign where the party is all intelligent weapons.

I played as a sword once. It was hilarious. Except when people used me to parry and destroyed me.

Assholes. I'm a sword, not a shield!

>>44648489
We're in the underwater part of the adventure now instead of the usual sort; players've been asking for oceanic campaigns for a while anyway.

There's a /tg/ homebrew called Rogue Munitions where all the PCs are basically Bomb 20 from Dark Star.

Alternatively, Engine Heart with an increased point limit.

The Daimah Nephilim Railgun Mentalist starts accidentally blowing holes in the healer with harpoons instead of crossbow bolts.
The Sixth Heaven Knight NPC who wields a Heavy Ballista now has a whaling harpoon.

Engine heart?

No, Rogue Munitions.

"Gentlemen! Grab your harpoons, we are going SKY-WHALING."

the technology required to make reliable harpoon guns would make a bigger impact than the harpoon guns, and it would probably be used to make more reliable firearms

There is now a Harpoon Club somewhere around the city.

Otherwise nothing else changes as we a nearly two hundred years in the future and on Mars.

I'm doing a sci-fi-fantasy that runs on rule-of-cool.
I'm sure you can find a magical/high-tech/magitech crossbow or harpoon gun somewhere in there.
>>
The group of noblewomen following my party begins making automatic harpoon gun noises
>>
>>44660792
At least harpoon makes a bigger holes, rights?
I bet they just wanna be impaled not by a tiny bolt, but by a giant harpoon

Nukes apparentl cause seismic activity and can create new faults though the activity is less energetic then the actual explosion. Theres even some pressure reduction in the local area. Maybe with enough nukes you'd creat another fissure big enough for the shit to slip under during pressure release.

All projectile weapons in your setting are replaced with air rifles. What happens?

Every single weapon in your setting is now built by Joerg Sprave.

Not the marines. Stick always win.

All weapons in your magical realm are now sapient. And slutty.

What happens?

Massive spike in accidental deaths throughout all nations, militaries are rendered almost entirely dysfunctional.

Then it goes from a Bioshock 1 style campaign to a Bioshock 2 style campaign.

Thanks, OP, now I need to replace all Thompsons with miniguns, pump action shotguns with double barrel, pistols with rivet guns, wrenches with drills, and tell the players they can't use the chemical sprayer anymore.
