[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3671039, member: 19675"] Eh..thanks for pointing out the OP's condition that I missed, RR. D20 sci fi games not listed above: Dragon Star Fading Suns D20 DragonMech Traveller D20 D20 Modern with D20 Future and Dark*Matter supplements Basic Sci-Fi tropes: Space Opera: lots of alien races, possible mysticism (think of the Force of Star Wars or the Weirding Way of Dune), almost swashbuckler-like action. Hard Sci-Fi: intelligent alien races rare or non-existent. Think of stories and novels like Ben Bova's "Grand Tour" novels, Sagan's Contact, Heinlein's Starship Troopers, Asimov's Robots or his Nightfall story, Dickson's Dorsai, Saberhagen's Berserkers, Laumer's Bolos, Donalson's Gap, Martin's Sandkings, and the movies Outland, & 2001 A Space Oddysey Current Day/Near future/CyberPunk: almost exclusively set on planet Earth, space travel may or may not exist. X-Files, Wild Palms, Lawnmower Man, Tron, Westworld, Niven's Dream Park novels, anything by William Gibson. Pulp: an older form that helped give rise to the superhero, horror, and fantasy genres- sci-fi exemplars are things like Flash Gordon, Doc Samson Time Travel: subgenre that may cross over with any of the above. Dimension shifting: subgenre that may cross over with any of the above. Utopian: a "what if" type of genre dealing with idealized visions of man's future achievements. Distopic: a dark counterpoint to the utopian fiction, with many more quality exemplars- 1984, We, Brave New World, and THX-1138 are major. Military Fiction: a sci-fi future serves mainly as a setting for military stories, like David Drake's Northworld and Hammer's Slammers books. Alt History: The history we know gets fiddled with for a variety of effects- one major series is Turtledove's Colonization novels (in which aliens land on Earth in the late 1930's). [/QUOTE]
