This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: VectorSigma;493380When you use them, which rules do you use and why?  (That'd be the second part of the question in the OP).

Depends on the system! The why? Because that's the system I'm using. I mean, really. Warhammer has guns and I use the Warhammer rules when running it. Lace & Steel has guns and I use the system too. AD&D 2e, I use the gun rules from A Mighty Fortress because those are the rules I've got. Same with GURPS.

'A Mighty Fortress', thank you.

I don't mean to be an ass here, Machinegun, but popping into a thread to say 'Depends' isn't helpful and doesn't further discussion.

I'm not usually quite this snarky, something's up my butt today.

I didn't intend to reply directly to your OP anyway. As is obvious. A Mighty Fortress rules work for me because I try not to think too hard about how things work in AD&D2e. I don't have any particular ruleset that I hold above others when it comes to guns in fantasy.

Quote from: VectorSigma;493178"Gunslinging cleric" does have its appeal. :)

Firearm or no firearm, I've always patterned my clerics after Reverend Dallstrom in Major Dundee.
Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace

Maybe in the spring before my absence? That's the only time I rememebr it coming up.  Anyway, it has grown on me. I still like my way of doing it better, but the exploding dice rule is a close second.

I don't know. I thought I'd explained how I do firearms in a relatively recent thread.
It might just be an effect of being on here every day for ages.

Possibly. I might be the confused one, or I may have completely missed the other thread you mentioned.

I have allowed them. Expensive, quirky, heavy, LOUD...reasons most folk just said "no thanks" though no doubt, a brace o' pistols is handy in the initial round of combat!
I used the RAW in. AD&D 2ed.& T&T.

Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!
