No cannons or firearms

Post by Wired »

The Campaign DM team would like to make a note that cannons and firearms are anachronistic to the setting.

Moreover, unless a DM has given you something like that, it's not really apropos to claim in roleplay that you're in the possession of such.

Note that we recently approved the use of AN explosive 'black powder' in a story, but that does not mean you can get cannons and guns. If in doubt about something like that, PM 'The Dasaria 2 Staff' for clarity.

Technologically speaking, it is best to think of the milieu as being either more high-to-late middle ages-oriented or that "Rome" never fell, and while some of the building blocks probably exist (e.g., fireworks, other things that explode), military firearms are a bit too future-forward.

Consider any past accidental uses of the actual word 'cannon' by others to refer generically to 'artillery' including catapults, onagers, trebuchets, or ballistas; throwing stones, bolts, "Cuhannan Fire" & etc.
