I think we left the 40K discussion and just moved to generic sci-fi now...

I vote for +100 years... I think a game in the far future would be incredibly hard to Gm if we want to play it like we played YaK and it would loose the soul of the game.
It wouldn't be too hard as long as we limit the amount of planets/systems we have access to.

It's also about the feeling of the game. In the future, you do a little "Pew" and your grand rival is dead. In medieval times, there's a badass swordfight and probably a few poisonings/backstabbings. A lot of things would change in the relation between the lords and the people, thanks to the media. There would probably be no reason to play a magic guy anymore. Sicknesses are basically no longer a big problem (Oooh a big zombie-infestation-apocalyspe-of-deadly-death on planet Hurrduur? Well let's shoot down every ship coming from there!). A lot of things would change.

Yeah because EVERYONE LOVED IT when magic became part of the game.  and it was SUCH A BIG THING.

Can I change my vote to an alternate reality where there is no magic at all whatsoever. I don't even care what time setting. Just no magic at all ever.

Well, if we do reneissance we can do away with all magic whatsoever, since everyone already has an aversion to it anyway.

Keep some fantasy though.  Wizards? BOO!  Giant spiders? AW YEAH.  Druid cultists that can somehow do something supernatural and unexplainable? Sure but don't fucking over do it!

Well, we can always explain that magic is rare in the Storm Coast. And that the hatcuri seldom call on their spirits. Very rarely.

That would fall with druid spiritualism like stuff, right?  Were against demons and fire balls.

You know, guys, I don't like wizards either, and I would'nt mind if we got them out of the game  ::) I just thought some people might like it.

I would like to keep some fantasy in though.

Oh I thought everyone was against magic in general. In that case, some band of heroes mercenaries went and sealed up every ley-line and closed the gates between the demon realms and the mortal world. Or something like that.

Lets say that mages and magic were rooted out by the suulian orthodoxy and the more militant branches of the local religions of the storm coast. By the time we start 100 years later, its all over and no magic is present.

We can assume that happened long long ago, and the adwarf disaster never actually happened.

Like alchemy.  One of my future plans for Mahtan was to build a homunculus, probably from the monkey, during his further decent into madness as his research for the ability to build living things (ie a new eye) from "nothing"

That would work only on a regional level. People coming from outside the region (such as the Ztah or Swastamiki) would still know about magic.

How would you explain Taric getting wounded and becoming Demon-slayer?

In Miring he's probably known as Taric the Demon.
