Well, I'm working on a fan project that I wanted to be an actual sequel to classic PStar series, but next to nobody seems interested, and I may have to go it alone again, or build a group of interested parties within my own town or something.
Anyway, right now I'm trying to tackle the issue of guns vs melee weapons. I absolutely hate the fact that guns make combat such an easy, near effortless endeavor when it comes to fighting, and the art of swordplay and other melee weapons seems so much more full of finesse and grace (even if the end result is a bloody mess - guns are no better by a long shot). They completely render all close combat weapons useless and unnecessary.
Here's where you guys can come in and help: I'd like to brainstorm some ideas on tools, techniques and what not to nerf guns in battle for my story. While I don't want guns to be completely useless (though it would serve them right if it was), I would like to make sneak attacks using them almost pointless (almost NO sniping at all). We can go over every single aspect of what makes guns so usefull, and find something that could ruin their effectiveness, and employ these methods through the use of a tool or technique. I already have a few ideas that I've derived from other things like anime and movies, but I'd like to see what you guys come up with, in order to expose things that I may not have thought of.
