I like that a lot. It never occurred to me to think of wands that way. <br /><br />I'm actually a fan of mixing modern of science-fiction elements with my fantasy, so I have no problem with guns and other technology. It's odd that many of my players don't like it. One of them constantly complains about "not liking chocolate in [my] peanut butter." Strange.Martin R.

I like the "weird science" and "technological decline" explanation for wands quite a lot, and the note about the Despot of Adamas reminded me of Jorune and Tekumel. In fact, I was also reminded of Mi-Go "lightning guns," perhaps not surprisingly given your love for Pulp literature. :)<br /><br />On the subject of firearms in FRPs in general, way back when that seemed to be one of the bright dividing lines in fandom: either you liked guns in your fantasy, or you regarded them as an abomination. I'm of the former camp: one of the things that attracted me to WFRP was its allowance for early firearms, quite in keeping with it's early Renaissance setting.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254215329246851683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-23428729453813007302011-04-07T09:52:24.576-04:002011-04-07T09:52:24.576-04:00This is quite an interesting take on firearms and ...This is quite an interesting take on firearms and wands.Akhier the Dragon Heartedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982936563965623813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-46557753758656947442011-04-07T09:33:45.023-04:002011-04-07T09:33:45.023-04:00Nicely done.
