I'm not talking about the TRAPPINGS of sci-fi: a laser gun does not science fiction make. I think Dark Sun actually whet my appetite with its psionics. Then I actually realized that I had been uunconsciously incorporating sci-fi elements in several of the settings of the last few games I ran, working subtle sci-fi 'weirdness' into them for the players to stumble across. Now I am kicking around the idea of a homebrew setting where there is a lot sci-fi tropes: time travel; cloning; mechanical automatons; ships that sail between worlds; alien parasites and viruses; mind control.Of course D&D has been flirting with the edges of some of these for years. But I'd like to see a setting that dives in headfirst. Sci-fi gets so much mileage out of these tropes. Why shouldn't fantasy have some of the fun too?</blockquote>
