Those are fun games.I like sci-fi that doesn't try to combine every freakin' sci-fi story that's been told.I like Dune, but don't know if it would translate well into a game.Unlimited FTL travel can put a damper on things, the whole wormhole/jumpgate thing seems a bit easier to put my head around.Farscape d20 looks like a game I want to play in.I think that about covers it.Off Topic:If you think science is getting at the truth of the way the world works, I'll have myself a personal laugh and maybe someone else will.  Just because you can describe how it seems to work and put that to use, doesn't mean you possess anything beyond a description.  Science is just another language-system aimed at describing in a particular manner the way in which the world appears to function, and then people put those descriptions to work.  Huzzah.  Magic from a magic-users point of view does the same thing that technology does from a technology-users point of view.Now that I've hopefully riled up a group of people to come at this with a vengeance, I shall depart with a laugh at myself.Oh yeah, almost forgot, dictionary definitions in a debate like this are worth about as much salt as you get on your McDonald's french-fries.</blockquote>
