Although most Ancients considered melee weapons like swords, axes, maces, spears, and even exotic ranged weapons such as bolas and shuriken to be archaic, some did practice the use of such weapons, and there were inevitably high-tech versions of them. This issue deals with these modern melee weapons, describes alternate methods of creating them, and introduces some new weapons.
