Hippogryph Future: Science Fantasy Roleplaying
 |
S cience fantasy is a hybrid genre that draws upon and combines tropes and elements from science fiction and fantasy. In conventional science fiction¸ the world is presented as being scientifically logical. C onventional fantasy stor ies contain mostly supernatural and artistic elements¸ disregard ing the laws of physics and the constraints of the real world. S cience fantasy ¸ then ¸ is presented scientifically logical and supplied with science-like explanations of its supernatural elements.
Like science fantasy¸ a hippogryph is a strange paradox. combining the elegance of a giant eagle with the stability of a horse. It is a hybrid of two things that cannot logically go together. Somehow the unlikely remix produces something that elevates both of its antecedents. Hippogryph Future began as a hybrid of the D20 Future SRD and Fate Accelerated . The horse and the eagle. Not a conversion of one to the other¸ but a whole¸ new thing incorporating the strengths of both. I like how it turned out. Hopefully¸ you will enjoy it for what it is.
