So it's scifi, but there are still wizards and elves and swords. Technology is "retro-tech", wherein there are spaceships and laser guns and fully-sapient AI, but computers still run something like DOS. Think Star Wars for how technology works.   Since this is an ongoing project, I have it in a Google doc, which can be viewed by anyone here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R7q_ZOABIATBD3aukbofH7GKl1tm-Hug063BOnR7ToY   I would love any feedback or suggestions, either on the fluff or the crunch.

#7 edwin_su Oct 23, 2014 3:57:03	Well one question in all Sci-fi is how does faster then light travel work ?   A sugestion would be using the shadow plane near shadow/shadowfell.   Normaly your movement on these planes is simular to the prime, so if you shift to the shadow move 50 and return you will be 50 feet from where you started on the prime. but it turns out that large parts of the shadowplane get compressed if they are no coresponding shadows on the prime. This results in large parts of empty inter stellar space being compresses while traveling trough the shadow plane. meaning that by traveling a relitivly short distance trough this compressed space you can travel huge distances on the prime.
