[QUOTE="crazy_monkey1956, post: 3510507, member: 49514"] A post above mentions that some SJ hate comes from sci-fi fans who can't stand the altered physics. My wife and I have debated the merits of SJ off and on for years. She's a NASA buff, keeping up with all the latest space flight news...and SJ's altered physics bothers her sense of order to the extreme. It's illogical to her and just too far a stretch to comprehend. Me, I love it. Its a fictional universe, why can't it have different laws of physics. But, everyone has different tastes and unfortunately, SJ didn't appeal to enough of those tastes to really succeed. I'm not too fond of all the campaign settings being inter-connected either, although at the same time I like to think of SJ and PS as kitchen sink settings where anything goes. So, integral parts of the cosmology? No. Enough connection that I can have an SJ crew with a Mul, Dracotaur, Kender, Moon Elf, and whatever else my players can come up with? Absolutely. There's a certain appeal to giving in to total wackiness every so often. My point: Sj elements in FR, GH, DL = not good. FR, GH, DL, and everything else elements in my SJ = rock on. [/QUOTE]
