[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8557094, member: 6877472"] Mentioning Greyhawk, which could be both subtle with it's references or blatant (Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, for example) I like having some pulp and science fantasy in my fantasy. Whether it's John Carter, a fighting man from Virginia tossed into a world that is pretty much a fantasy adventure, but hey, there's ray guns and flying ships, to even video games. I can't have been the only one to play the original Final Fantasy and been amazed to find my party of D&D heroes aboard a space station- or be wowed by the twist of Phantasy Star 3, when you realize your entire world is part of a generation starship that's been in transit for 2000 years! ...maybe my next campaign should have psionics and the explanation for that and the various strange races be genetic engineering in the distant past... Speaking of Psionics, this is what the Complete Psionics Handbook had to say about Greyhawk: Psionics is an old and established facet of life on Oerth. Presumably it was brought there when an illithid spacecraft crashed on the planet ages ago. Psionicists are by no means common, but most people are at least aware of the existence of psionics and often consider it to be just another mystical pursuit. Psionic guilds and secret associations can be found in major cities. [/QUOTE]
