Orc Knight
Auror
Sorry, no clever title this time round. So, this is a simple question for y'all. Do you allow firearms and explosives in your fantasy stories? Or in some version? Or is the magic simply more useful? Okay, so a few questions. With my usual example to start it off.
Eld does have firearms, not the most advanced, but at least to the level of mid WW1 guns and firepower. Granted the only ones who have them are humans, but they use advanced magiteck anyways. Though since the Lich Wars, such weapons have fallen almost into a rarity. Mostly because those who can make and maintain them, much like the other advanced tech and magic, got killed in that attempt at the apocalypse. So much like with the magic power armor and airships, guns have been rendered to near relic status while retaining their killing power.
I also didn't start with guns, going with the classic style fantasy. It turned out the playing field needed leveled some way and humans would find many, guns being just one. So, no dwarves with them. Well, not all the time. Some bought them as curiosities and few use them in combat situations. Goblins also have a version of sorts, but it usually comes with their versions of power armor.
So, as per my usual rambling, how about you?
