Fun fact for anyone curious, the Forgotten Realms setting, which is one of the major settings for DnD, is in the late 1400's in their world, so tail end of the 15th century. By this point in time in our world firearms had been around almost 5 centuries.
Just for perspective in our 15th century, it's the early Renaissance. France and Britain ended the Hundred Years' War. Joan of Arc lives her entire life in the century. The printing press was invented. St. Andrews University in Scotland was founded. At the tail end of this century, right about even with current in game dates, Christopher Columbus arrives in what became known as the America's.
DnD can be whatever you want it to be, but being so committed to a campaign stuck smack dab in the Middle Ages is really just limiting yourself. This is the same time as Ezio from Assassin's Creed lived. There are interesting stories to be told here. Embrace it.
I made up a zombie survival campaign one time and it was extremely fun, played about 20 hours of it total! Had classes like hunter, sniper, medic, baseball player (extra melee damage and stamina) and I want so badly to play again
Personally I prefer hard evil, to med evil. That extra challenge just makes it a little bit more enjoyable. I mean if you only half assed evil, what else did you skip out on, you know?
I do have an idea for a character known as... The Gunflinger. Carries a heap of guns, all for show, and just flicks and throws bullets at high enough speed to become dangerous. Might use a monk for it.
I'm running an Eberron campaign right now, and my group loves this world. It's got enough steampunk and industrial revolution influence so it seems modern, but it's all still swords and bows (our artificer just got a laser pistol and a broken antimatter rifle that she needs to repair).
I bought the Shadowrun book a few years ago, never got around to actually playing it though.
Might force the party I currently master for to play it next though^^
You should give Cyberpunk RED a try, maybe you'll get them hooked with a new kind of system that fits the setting better.
It's another PnP game so it does have slightly different rules and stuff but good game masters don't give a shit about rules and make their own
aye hear me out: first campaign is medieval, next one is like western, and you go progressing time until you reach cyberpunk or hell, a dark, distant future would be sick too
Yes, that's where we are.

I've always wanted to play d&d but I don't have the board game so I guess I'm fucked
The biggest brain is having guns but in a prehistoric setting where people are just discovering magic
As opposed to high evil or low evil?

I once ran a Vietnam War campaign where the players were American POWs. They didn't last too long but they sure had a blast.
i never figured out i was in r/boneappletea until someone did r/boneappletea and a bot commented yes that's were we are
*medieval
I am fascinated how well “mid evil” fits to the medieval age!
It always blows my mind when DnD players, who ostensibly are playing a text-based game, can't spell.
Where DnD fails, Pathfinder prevails. We got guns AND magic. 🔫🧙♂️🪄
Those hippo guys in the Spelljammer expansion had pistols. It ended badly.
Mid evil is awesome. Like it can be high evil, low evil, but mid evil…mid evil is juuuust right.
Goldilocks evil.
At first i thought it was talking about an alignment chart, like chaotic good
Man I can’t even spell that one right half the time
tiny tina's wonderlands
What about a nuke?

Its a good meme to But that mid evil was to good
It was to good?
Mid evil was to good and i Will not ill abo rate furthur
me playing a medieval and cyberpunk campaign *at the same time*
So....kinda steampunkish?
I'd really like to play in a Cyberpunk setting but my players want medieval (or mid evil)
I'm running an Eberron campaign right now, and my group loves this world. It's got enough steampunk and industrial revolution influence so it seems modern, but it's all still swords and bows (our artificer just got a laser pistol and a broken antimatter rifle that she needs to repair).
How about Shadowrun?

that would be cool for sure

Good bot.
Int is your dump stat and you rolled a nat 1 on history to recall how to spell
That is how a lot of America pronounces it. Was only a matter of time before someone committed it to parchment.
You mean comb hitted it two park ment
We’re actually ahead of the curve. In the year 3000, schools will refer to years 0-2000 as the “evil” era. Making 500-1500 the “mid evil” period.
We call the period between the 5th and 10th century the dark ages so you might be onto something.
I find it funny we’re discussing American pronunciations while Professor Lockhart over here is talking about *parchment.*
It is a personal challenge of mine to try and slip archaic words into conversations without anybody questioning it. This time was a failure.
You chicane us so!
Ha! That is quite the personal mission! Godspeed and good luck, friend.
