Is there a system out there that does science fantasy well and isn't based on some other property?

>tenchi muyo couldve been so much more

Tenchi Muyo is pretty good. Don't hate just cause you don't like shenanigans.

>kagato arc
>oh shit things are about to get real
>they dont
>this is fine, it's still funny
>the gods
>giant harem
>the shorts with tons of new characters
>now a new season with tons of new characters

Just let Tenchi die already. Maybe give young Yosho a go.

The Seikishi spinoff showed there can be stuff going on while still having lots of shenanigans.

>he had a bigger harem than tenchi

That's the real reason for the new season.

Traveller has rules for technology and space wizards (psions).

And it'd probably be easy to kludge together a couple Savage Worlds books.

>watching Universe
>fucking EVER
Go watch the OVAs. Universe, In Tokyo, and everything else not in the original OVA timeline is ass.

OVA Season 3 was shit.

There's nothing wrong with universe. It's worth it just for seeing the larger galaxy and that bounty hunter who was after ryoko.

Savage Worlds

Spelljammer

This.
I really liked the small moments of tenchi (like shenanigans around the house) and I was very excited about the potential for it. But it never grew into something bigger.

Spelljammer is a major one. It literally was meant to be D&D... IN SPAAAAACE!!!!

Keep an eye on Aethera. Pathfinder-baaed game currently in development.

>does ... well
>Pathfinder-based

Alpha Omega is okay, but it's very definitely post apocalyptic science fantasy. The usual stuff: Earth is fucked, humanity exists in walled enclaves, two branches of an alien race are busy having a teensy tiny holy war on the surface of the planet against one another.

What do you want out of 'science fantasy' that differs from 'fantasy' in a meaningful way?

>D&D in space

Pretty sure that goes against what OP wants, since he wants something not based on some other property.

triggered
d20 fits all d20 is best

Sure it is.

Isn't it dead in the water, with the later books having never come out? Or did it revive in the last 1-2 years and I hadn't heard of it?

good one

Well that's a recreation of that accident and it DID kill him, so yeah.

I'd throw in Weeaboo Fight'n Magic for Space Samurai action too, personally.

Tenchi Muyo was scifi? I thought it was just some dude hanging out and talking to those girls all day. I guess one was an alien?

No complaints there!

I'd use Manual of the Planes, if only for the section on the Astral Plane (since that's relevant to Expanded Psionics Handbook anyway what with the Githyanki and the Astral Caravan powers) and I think there are spelljammer ships statted in there too. I would also use Lords of Madness for badguys.

But yeah, psionics, space samurai, meldshaping, and aberrations in the Astral Plane? That sounds like a promising science-fantasy campaign.

They were all aliens.

I think Pandarve from the Storm comics would be a great setting for something like this. Since there's a good chance you're not familiar with it (it's a Dutch comic), I'll elaborate.

There's this huge living planet, called Pandarve. It is sentient, but mostly keeps to solving hypothetical math problems. It can however project itself as an image and communicate with its inhabitants. More importantly, the atmosphere around Pandarve is enormous, and extends to nearby smaller planets and moons (Pandarve actually births these smaller planets). There are all kinds of creatures swimming in the atmosphere between planes, and fishermen and trading ships freely traverse there. Most inhabitants are humanoid, but there are aliens too. More importantly, huge-ass monsters. I guess it irks more towards fantasy than scifi, but don't worry, there's robots, computers and lasers and all that stuff.

They were all aliens, and he was half alien.

Incidentally, it is the first, and best, of the Harem Protag series ever. Also the only one to actually successfully navigate the traps and marry BOTH the main harem members. All others are mere pretenders.

It's also very pulp, with great artwork by Don Lawrence.

One more, because Don Lawrence is a god

Yeah him and several other people. They called it 'tickling the dragon's tail' or something along those lines, and the complete disregard for any kind of safety precautions was appalling.

Of course then I remember fellow welders with cigarettes in their mouths instead of gas-masks over them, and how not one of the dozen or so at our mill lived past 50, and I'm not so suprised anymore.

Still, holy fuck. It's fucking criticality, people, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SMART PHYSICISTS
