Mostly movies and video games.” During playtesting, a gun owner mentioned he'd fired thousands of rounds without a single malfunction. The designers told him that didn't count. He then asked whether archers would have to roll for broken bowstrings and damaged arrows. “Of course not,” replied the designer. “This is a fantasy game. We have dragons, fireballs, and flying castles. A gun that actually works would just be ridiculous.” The designers later reported that their firearm rules had been a tremendous success. Even players who wanted guns in fantasy had stopped using them.
