Okay, I win initiative and shoot first.

I hope I don't misfire!

go for it

Make rifles with bayonets count as short spears

TL 4 GURPS is the best way to do swords and sorcery. Blowing someone's fucking head off with a .60 ball then beating another to death with the butt of your musket is the way to go.

Make it clear from the start that there is no connection to real world guns/ gun powder to your games equivalent.

Never, ever compromise on this and use magical device with none of this gun powder if you are making explosives.

Most settings have optional rules, if not integrated in the setting already.

Lamentations of the Flame Princess is decent for old-school with muskets.

Add "unbalanced" but allow the butt to be used as a crushing weapon, and its a deal.

holy fuck that game rocks

Sweet, I'm in.

I mean, why wouldn't you have a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other?
