These threads never turn out well.
More on topic, you could justify choosing swords over guns in any fantasy setting just by making damaging magic only work at close range. There are plenty of other ways to justify swords over guns infantasy as well, and unsurprisingly they all have to do with a certain disregard for the laws of physics. Now enjoy the thread as it devolves into shitflinging by weeaboos who are butthurt that guns beat swords in real life, autistic screaming by 12 year old /k/omrade wannabe tryhards, and people who legitimately cannot understand why soldiers carry both guns and combat knives.

This is by no means wholly fact-based and speculation that I can't remember the source of. But I've heard that in the future defense would be much more powerful than offense, so shooting someone in a powersuit does nothing. In that case using the strength of the power suit and a sword made of similar materials (idk man) you would actually be able to damage someone. Nukes and very powerful weapons are still a thing, but consider Iron Man for example, he may get blown away by rocket launchers and grenades but he is minimally damaged still.

A more logical answer is that guns have a set power in a way, while swords scale with whoever is using it, so with incredibly fast humans able to dodge bullets you'd have to shoot them point blank and then you might as well slice the fucker. Most high-power anime will have guns be weak because the characters can just evade them with insane speed, or be hit without it hurting much with superhuman endurance/strength. The more super-human characters are, the less effective normal guns will be.

Dune shields I guess?

Also could have a setting with gun control. Guns > Swords, and only the ruling class get them or something like that. Using/having one as a commoner may end up bringing too much trouble down on your head, but it is an option.

Scotland's better. Do that.

Read a book, I don't know shit

>And counter to that, how might society "progress" such that the industrial revolution would never occur? ie, what forces that seem like good ideas would actually cause stagnation?

Magic, or some shit. Blame it on a wizard

Miscreations?
Old gods?

>>46757566
Gods aren't perfect, and make mistakes. The first couple of times they tried to make animals and humanity, they got monsters and demons, respectively. While they recognize their work was flawed, they cannot bring themselves to kill their own creations.

El neutralino god duder decides "shit niggah, that wouldn't work, throw some wrenches in there" and bam, it works better now.

Other gods still debate this.

"If you've got something to say, now's the time," you tell him calmly. Knowing you're going to regret it, you dig out your pipe and pack it. "It's just you and I, Hunting Talon."

"Where do you get off, necromancer?" the harpy hisses, through pained breaths. "You would have done the same to me."

You gesture at him with your unlit pipe. "It's funny to me that you think that," you note, before you light the bowl and take a puff. Sweet, lung-wracking relief. You cough the smoke and shake your head to clear the sleep from it.

"Then you're a fool."

"I'd be careful with the insults. Wouldn't want it to get around that you got beat by a fool."

There's an indignant chirp from the one-eyed harpy, and he tries to sit up to lunge at you. He gets about an inch off of his niche before he decides he'd prefer to live and sets his head the fuck back down.

"Believe it or not, I don't want to rub what happened in your face, Talon," you tell him. "If you wanna talk, I'm here to talk. If you want me to fuck off and leave you alone, I can fuck off in the direction of the coffee and never speak to you again."

"I don't want your pity," the harpy groans.

"You don't have any of my pity. You put big fucking holes in organs I use to live."

"Then what is this?" he finally exclaims, in exasperation. Amy makes an unhappy noise in her sleep; Nathan cuddles her closer without waking up, stroking her hair to soothe her.

Currently playing a roman philosopher/doctor in a sword and sandals hack of LotFP [spoilers]and a giovanni art dealer in VtM[/spoilers].
Working on getting Wolfpacks up to something I'd be willing to publish, and knocking together a couple of adventures for it: Spires Dreaming Beneath The Ice (dungeon crawl in a lost serpent-folk astrological observatory) and The Princess Clad In Amber (fountain-of-youth cult kidnaps children, creates foetus monsters).

>What are you playing?
I am DM:ing a game of Kult actually. It feels like I am having a break with only one game to DM a week, that will soon change though.

>What are you working on?
A new mega-dungeon. I am not quite sure whether to go monster, trap heavy or both on this one though...

I've been working on my sword and sandals hack for a while now. I'd be curious how yours has shaped up.

I'm actually kind of stalled on development, as I've wound up creating two mutually exclusive combat systems that I like, but that do entirely different things. So I'm currently stalled while figuring that out.

“You'll be staying in the capital for the next few days, then?” Ra asks meaningfully, “And you'll have some spare time on your hands, am I correct?”

Technically so, you admit slowly, but perhaps you already had plans. Important plans, the kind that can't be changed on such short notice. The vagueness of your words – that lingering “perhaps” - clearly doesn't do much to convince Ra. In truth, you're not trying very hard to deter him – he's obviously got an idea about how you could spent the next day, and you're pretty curious about it.

“I thought you might be interested,” Ra lifts his decanter of whisky and pours a generous measure into his glass, offering it to you. As you accept the drink, he continues. “It's a matter that concerns Tawn, but I feel it might be more suited to your talents,” without taking his eyes from you, Ra wets his lips with the strong spirit, “As a Wanderer, I should say.”

Something to do with a god then, you ask, but isn't that a little strange? Tenn has no native gods – not any more, at least – so why would he require the services of a Wanderer?

“This city wasn't always like this,” Ra suggests, “It wasn't so long ago that there were still a few last priests hanging on here, with their devoted followers. Well, time changes things.” He shrugs lightly. “Of course, I'm merely offering you the chance to step in. If you'd rather I handled this through official channels...”

Sending a Writ to the Nameless Temple, in other words.

“Of course, it'll be easier to arrange that invitation if I don't have to keep an eye on this situation,” a sly light enters Ra's eyes, “You understand what I mean, don't you?”
