The old farts who make up a large part of ENWorld's audience came to fantasy in the 1970s and 1980s when, yeah, I can't think of any trains in traditional fantasy.But today's fantasy fans are more likely to have come to fantasy through anime and videogames where technology levels are all over the place -- Final Fantasy in particular is incredibly hard to pin down -- and it's more about the rule of cool than simulating a medieval world.I think the youths wouldn't bat an eye at a fantasy movie with airships and lightning rails.</blockquote>
