Glorantha is fine because Glorantha is unique to every individual and just as true.

Doesn't Glorantha as a setting basically say character mannerisms are separate from players unless stated? Like saying the greeting which is never actually explicitly stated due to it being obvious if your character would know and say it or not. Being uptight in that setting sounds absurd to me.

Cannons don't summon demons. Or cause horrible things to happen if they mess up. Also aren't reliant on the magic of the surrounding area. Point for cannons.

That's different and you know it is. That was a cannon custom made by evil rear end in a top hat dwarves.

No mention of hunger magic? 0/10 guidebook to magic. Basically Ogres cast magic by eating stuff, having effects from chasing their foes bones to break to buffing allies.

The North is a horrible place that has been tainted by Chaos. Terrible beasts as well as vicious Nords struggle to just survive in the frozen tundra while the later kill one another to appease their dark gods.

Life is suffering, and the only way to avoid suffering is death. With how often you have assholes raiding in the setting no wonder it'd be effective.

Also that it does the most non magical stuff and is best buds with the empires engineers in making poo poo like guns and cannons from all the material and chemical science they do without magic.

Yeah Jade, Gold and...White? wizards tend to be the most obviously beneficial to the empire. First makes sure everything grows well, second does advances in metallurgy and gunpowder for cannons that can blow the head of a Champion of Chaos off, and wizards that can predict bad harvests and terrible weather. It's more than just wizards casting mass combat spells.

Warhammer fantasy is pretty cool in that humanity is advancing and improving itself instead of being stuck in a rut like the other friendly races. Dwarves have an absurdly long testing system for inventions time takes 400 years for minor changes. Elves are shooty bastards. But humans have guns and cannons now, while their ancestors only could fight with bow and steel. It's a great contrast to 40k's everything is just getting shittier. Like a crazy smart dude invented steam tanks. loving steam tanks. They're rare and irreplaceable but also a testament to Empire ingenuity.

The only proper projectile weapon is a big rear end stone carved with grudges against the enemy in question. Quite effective against chaos it turns out! Dwarven testing is basically a bunch of grumpy old men who know their poo poo starts doing everything wrong to your invention to try and break it. If it passes good for you. It doesn't pass? Come back in a century youngin. This done not just because dwarves are very conservative but they believe it is the utmost importance to keep accidents down that may maim or kill hundred year old dwarves. Truly they believe in OSHA. This makes dwarves tech very slow to advance but extrmely reliable compared to the empires experimentation.

Yeah Heroquest seems much more appropriate for playing as great mythical heroes capable of wrecking poo poo. Runequest seems much more grounded in comparison and it feels like it would be better to just sell Runequest as lower levelled stuff.

I'm kinda feeling others when while this is some cool background stuff it doesn't seem much for swashbuckling adventurers unless you were focusing on a campaign against the awful trading company or visiting the continent with a goal in mind.

Cold iron originated as a fancy way of saying iron. Worked metal was believed to ward off the fey and I guess the intense heat to make steel makes it not work as well. Also iron being more brittle meaning it's less useful as a weapon making it less common, else it would be trivial to hunt fey creatures down with any weapon.

But cold iron is an actual term far older than modern rpgs. It makes it a pain if you don't clarify what it is, is it just q special way of forging iron and so could be common or some fantasy metal like iron like DND. Edit: Titanium is very flexible and light, not the best for a sword unless you made it thick enough but then you might as well use the high grade steel made now instead. Maybe armor but don't know it's strength vs sheering. ChaseSP fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Jul 13, 2018 |

Yeah basically it's just a poetic thing not some mystical metal that fantasy has run with for a while. Best to just nod and go along in the end.

It's also really meaningless because cold iron is cheap as hell in it anyway and not really any different noticeably from all I remember besides the anti fey properties.

The ideal solution seems to me is to make smithing a master rune on something a big thing on a runesmiths progression/make a quest into itself to actually figure it out in the first place and to limit it to a couple uses at best.

I thought a villain for single fight was supposed to have an increased amount of wounds purely to make it more climatic. Also guns can still miss unless you have a whole party dedicated purely to them iirc.

The moral of the story is if your players are being powergaming grogs and won't accept they're missing the point either you A. gently caress with them ingame with a group of gun wielding henchmen which probably just pisses them off or B. Find new players/a different game to play.

Using gun fire to absolutely trivialize a villain is pun pun levels actually with dramatic fights being a big draw of 7th sea. If your players only care about beep boop must win you should play a different game or find another group. using gunfire to weaken a group isn't the same and is cool if it descends into swashbuckling after.

You could instead make it focused on villains that just can't be dealt with upfront but again your players will probably be upset with this if dealing with this hypothetical of a purely gunslinger party. They knew what they were getting into in this situation and wouldn't happen organically with people making what they, independently, thought was cool
