[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3300422, member: 29746"] I've never minded a mix of sci-fi and fantasy. And my homebrew setting, which I've been running games in for around 15 years now, is built on the premise that it was Gamma World that went through several thousand more years of history and turned into a D&D-like place. :) Remnants of the Ancient technology aren't particularly common on the world, but neither are they so uncommon that the average Commoner has never heard of them. In fact, since one of the remnants of the "Golden Age" is a Ring Station which used to be linked to the surface of the planet by a series of space elevators built into the now-called Diamond Towers, pretty much everybody who lives on the surface can just look out their windows at night and see a shining example of what people used to be able to do. There are plenty of interesting items I've had the parties in my setting find over the years, most recently in the Epic game a "flitter" (basically a family flying aerospace car capable of travelling between the planets of a typical star system) with a built-in cloaking device, which the party used to spectacular effect in the raid they staged on Demogorgon's treasure vaults. They needed it, too, because in my setting an archfiend or deity is able to throw [i]Dimension Lock[/i] over its entire domain at once, at will (among other things). If you need to compress a 1000-mile trip from your entry portal to your destination, there's little better way to do it than an invisible flying vehicle travelling at slightly over Mach 10... :) [/QUOTE]
