As much as I'm in favor of swashbucklers getting the love they deserve and need, I'm rather opposed to turning the overall flavor of the MUD into steampunk.
Whoa whoa whoa. No one is saying anything about steam punk. They use powder that explodes and fires a tiny metal object...lets get our facts straight...

I don't like the suggestion of adding firearms to SK. I do like the idea of basically reworking swashbucklers from the ground up. The previous thread had suggestions I could live with, but there are elements of these suggestions I like.
Thats what was really the overall concern. Smoochy doesn't want to add guns, or rework anything from the ground up. This is simply a vision of what a swashbuckler could be...minus the boring part.
Still guns don't feel like a bad addition, and no one said anything about the technology making crossbows inefficient. A flintlock, is just another long ranged weapon, that is all..
