You can mix magic and tech, if you're careful, but the fact that
you don't need more than skill to use the more active parts of
tech, as opposed to magic which needs magical talent, means you
need to look pretty carefully at what you're doing.

Some people won't play in games which are too 'off genre' - I
know a number of players who refuse to involve themselves in
fantasy games with tech elements, even if it is an integral part
of the setting, because they say that it makes them feel that it
is not a 'real fantasy' game.

Is that maybe a reaction to this post-modern stuff (not that I
claim to really understand what 'Post-Modern' is! [grin] )?
