I am afraid I have to agree, with all the new toys out on the "market"
subtlety has gone the way of Dollar. However, there are ways to
compensate. For instance in a few of my games, Lonestar is a very active
threat. The have jacked the price of the more noisy items up through the
roof. However, my players can get them if the want to pay through the
nose. Also, Stealth is much more important than firepower. Anyone can
have firepower, and engage in fire fights but the smart players avoid it.
