All rocks can be tasty if you aren't a coward

I had to cut it down 75% because my computer was getting too slow to comfortably edit it (64 endings to 16)

"Toblerone are like toddlers; it doesn't matter if they're deformed, they still taste the same" - me (after recieving this Toblerone)

I was thinking of doing that actually :3

This might also be my preference for more barebones software (and my absolute hatred for Canva) showing a little

It's surprisingly good because it doesn't have a lot of the clutter and menu jumping that dedicated design sites have
But you don't get the polish or integration those sites have (which I honestly don't mind, I'm making enough shit up for this that gslides actually winds up working better)

I should also note that guns can be really useful to Shiroyama things if you need to, say, give a reason as to why there aren't that many wizards around (mage shield does not stop rifle rounds)

Honestly this is just tempting me to make a fantasy world with extremely skilled arquebusier mercenaries

On the thematic bit, I feel like arquebuses/handgonnes can fit pretty well thematically.
I personally just chose to set my rpg in pretty much an early 20th century fantasy world to avoid thematic issues (also to use more real guns as inspo)

There are also a ton of different ways that guns can be used as plot devices (eg. one faction buys rifles from two other factions, leading to logistical complications, or one faction having a narrower selection of more refined guns and another having a wider selection of more experimental designs)

I also just want to say how funny it is to me when steampunk settings try to avoid firearms bc there's no way no one in your world with late 18th-early 20th century technology thought to propel things with explosives and then someone else decided to use that against other people

And from a gameplay standpoint, guns can be really useful for making sure that non-magic users can compete with mages so you can have a more powerful magic system without making wizards the only way to play

I can also kinda get the "too modern" idea, but then, why not a Handgonne or arquebus??? Why not use guns to illustrate a divide between a more traditionalist faction and a more advanced one? Why not do guns that use magic in some way?

The only reason I can really think of is that DnD's combat system sucks for guns, but also there are other systems *cough cough* Fallout *cough cough* that work infinitely better
