Strange Galaxy: Consolidated Diversity

Strange Galaxy is a "space opera" without spaceships, robots or flying cars. Its magic is actually called "magic" and is entirely plausible. Alien races are strange but not ridiculous. Guns and swords are equally modern but not the weapons of the same armies. Spatial shifting, not unreal velocities, is the means of interstellar travel.

Strange Galaxy is a world of many worlds uneasily shared by mutually alien races. Their sciences and philosophies are derived from mutually alien perspectives. Their architecture and instruments are the products of mutually alien natures. The reality of cause and effect is the same for them all, however. For their every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. "Survival of the fittest" determines which races thrive and prosper.

Strange Galaxy is crafted to be fantastic yet realistic. It is to be exotic yet familiar. It is to be gritty yet not cynical. Humanity is its dominant race yet humans are the weakest of its Great Races. Technology produces the deadliest weapons but magic provides the better defenses.

Strange Galaxy is a collective work of art, fiction and games. It is to be enjoyed. It is to be inspiring. It is not a particular story nor a specific cast of characters. The world of many worlds itself is the Strange Galaxy. Its races and their civilizations are the main characters. It is a consistent and clearly defined science fiction fantasy universe rich in particulars to choose from. Enjoy.
