Martin's stuff.Moral axioms - again Martin's stuff, or the Fafhrd and Grey Mouser stuff.Magical Elements - Low and no-magic games.Maybe Fantasy games have the distinguishing mark of drawing on characters or situations with "mythic characteristics" Phantom Menace would fit more into sci-fi because its mythic overtones, while attempting to be prominent, were overshadowed by other elements. Mythic elements were there (destiny, portents of the future, fate and chance intertwining), but the end product seems to give more prominence to visual and showy elements, and the intermingling of science and magic (the "midichlorian controversy") gave some viewers the feel of a lack of fantasy in their sci-fi. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
