Different planets having different physical and magic factors.Higher physical factor means bullets would do lots more damage (on the website I explained this by contrasting the Japanese Godzilla movies with the American one).Japanese Godzilla shrugs off everything while American Godzilla is killed with two rockets from a fighter jet.  We 'crossed over' Cyberpunk 2020 and Star Trek (TNG). We also had Terminator type bounty hunters/space police.We never crossed over into Star Wars (though we did also play the Star Wars RPG), however, his race the Eldren (Wizard-Psionicists) were a lot like the Jedi, or more specifically alien Force Users. The only one who wasn't a Wizard-Psionicist was a Psionics immune 40th level Fighter with a forceblade called Khelwed (IIRC). Doomstar would have been a bit like an Uber-Palpatine. We also had an Eldren 'Star Destroyer' buried on the planets mysterious southern continent.I once loaned Simon some videogame magazine which was detailing Mortal Kombat II and he converted them all into D&D villains (working for the Sword Gods of Michael Moorcock's books).He also used the Kryomek race (which I think were an 'Alien' homage) in some capacity, but I never got to encounter them. I was always planning to use the Eldren Star Destroyer to take on the Kryomek Emperor who was almost as big as a planet.The Force to me always sounded like Psionics, so its origins might hail from the Far Realm...Dimension of Thought.</blockquote>
