[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 647950, member: 530"] Okay. Other than all of the space ships, warp drives, light sabers, laser guns, andriods, clones, still suits, force shields, assassin probes, jump gates, reactor cores, death stars, giant destruction beams, tissue regeneration tanks, hologram projectors, armored battlesuits, walker assault units, laser turrets, and such there's no science at all, yeah. Hmmm.... I would say they are closer to sword and sorcery than they are to fantasy. I would actually be perfectly fine calling them sword and sorcery science fiction. There is a difference between a "like" relationship and an "is" relationship. In my opinion yes, they are like fantasy, but no they are not fantasy. EDIT: If you take a more liberal definition of fantasy, then all science fiction can be considered a subcategory of fantasy. I don't think that definition applies to D&D though. [/QUOTE]
