[QUOTE="Green1, post: 6876864, member: 6800543"] DnD style campaigns have been run (with some tweaks) in the past with apocalyptic. sci fi/ historical flair.. They were not as popular due to the fanbase like high or low medieval based fantasy. Hard to get players. Also, other gaming systems have the brand recognition and seem to be the go-to for such things, as much as I prefer a 5e-ish system over GURPS, White Wolf, old Paladium, or Shadow Run. I tried back about 10 years ago a cross between 3e Star Wars d20 and 3e Dungeons and Dragons with all classes available and almost started a full scale revolt! had to go back to the stuff they liked or I would have been playing by myself. That said, I have heard some stories of interesting Gamma World/DnD crosses. Of course, I have never seen these personally. Only read about and only once or twice. Would love to run or play in one. I feel you, though. I grew up on cartoons like He-Man, The Thundercats, Silverhawks, etc. These had magic and technology blended together with powerful badasses. That stuff was over the top. Also, the main characters in those catoons are epic level. A lot of DMs have trouble running that or outright will not for a number of valid reasons. But very few game like that. RA Salvatore novels, LOTR, and other fantasy tropes and staples influence the player base more and while there are a lot of sci fi fans who play DnD, they don't like mixing genres I have found. Of course, planeshifting and alternate reality stuff like Planescape or steampunkish elements do have a following. [/QUOTE]
