Editing Science Fantasy (section)

===And finally===
When you get down to it, [[Dungeons & Dragons]] even in its initial early years throws in a lot of science concepts, Often from the pulpy side from [[Expedition to the Barrier Peaks]] with a crashed space ship, Giant space hamsters, Aberrants from behind the stars, and tons of source and ecology books that give a surprising level of detail to monsters and magic. Like Hard Fantasy, The wider D&D multiverse doesn't operate on a modern understanding of physics but on that wacky seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen hundred speculative future and pulp fiction. Genre is always dependent on the current section, so treating the world as a pure magical medieval or pulpy anything goes world is up to group preference.

We list it separately because it has multiple sub-settings that are especially Science Fantasy, so as not to break up the main list. Here are those settings:

*'''[[Dragonmech]]:''' A [[Dungeons & Dragons]] setting where the collapse of the moon and resultant cataclysm has prompted the various races to emigrate into city-sized magic-powered mecha.
*'''[[Dragonstar]]:''' A [[Dungeons & Dragons]] setting where magic and science coexist, allowing for an interstellar empire run by dragons where cyborg wizards duke it out with laser-packing orcs.
*'''[[Spelljammer]]:''' A [[Dungeons & Dragons]] campaign setting that revolves around using magical ships (and by ships we mean "sail the seven seas" type) to fly between "crystal spheres" (fantasy solar systems) by way of an [[plane|alternate dimension]] called the [[Phlogiston]].
*'''[[Eberron]]:''' Another D&D campaign setting. Eberron is based in "wide magic", where sufficiently understood magic is indistinguishable from technology. While the baseline mixes pulp of the [[Industrial Revolution]] and [[The_World_Wars#The_Interwar|the Interwar]], many applications wouldn't be out of place in science fiction: Instead of sinks, bathrooms have devices that magically clean the user's everything, portals to the moons (and perhaps even beyond) are possible, artificial limbs of both the magical and biological alien variety exist and [[Quori|two types]] [[daelkyr|of aliens]] seek to invade it.
