The one question that I do have (which should be applied to everything) is
about the gun.  Did we ever have a verdict on guns in general?

I say that guns should only be used where they fit in historicly.

Historically, there's no real magic, either....but we use it in CW.

CW, as I understand it, is not tied to a particular time of history but
rather to a 'feel' - and that feel is a fantastic one, not necessarily a

I like anachronisms, if they're rare and used in interesting ways. (Those

isn't.)

Also remember that CW is based on mutual consent...so if anyone's in a duet
and they'd rather not use guns at all, that should definitely be binding.
