Fantasy has dragons. Dragons pwn everything.
Sci-Fi also has dragons. That presents a conundrum. I have read more Sci-fi with Dragons than Fantasy.

Is that a Space Station 13 ref I hear?
I have never heard of that, so I guess not. I just figured, well, space-wizards. Should be pretty cool, right?
Yup, extremely fun game, it's RP intensive and fairly obscure so only a few hundred people play it but it's extremely fun so expect to lose hundreds of hours to it after you figure out how to play, i'm usually on the Facepunch or Powerful servers using the character name "Julian Parker" (Usually as the Mime, Clown, or Chaplain jobs.)

You can find it on Byond.

I need to play that![/quote]

Eve Online has been going downhill lately, hopefully CCP will resolve it's stupidness and get back to the internet spaceships the game is known for instead of trying to give us useless avatars and messing up game functions, with luck in a month or two they will get back on track though.

Edit: fiddlesticks, my quotesnip broke the quote.

isn't this the same as the Science Vs Magic debate? XD

i'll take Sci-fi simply because i don't have to be horribly adept at magic to be able to murder some1 with a beam rifle! XD

Well, it depends on a couple things.
Where do fantasy and sci-fi separate anyway?

For an example I use the transformers.
Now, they are clearly mechanical in nature so they fit in with sci-fi right? Well, there's this snag here that, in most of the comics and a lot of the animated versions they are divine in origin.

Now here's another thing. We're probably all more familiar with this one.
The force. Now, as we all know it's arcane in nature, but, no matter how much the audience dislikes this fact, it is biological in origin.

Now, here's a third one: Dragons. Now, they feature most prominently in fantasy fiction, but they are usually biological in both nature and origin. This leaves them as Sci-fi creatures.

So really, it all depends on whether you think either of the first two is Sci-fi or if they both qualify as fantasy.
