Default Re: [PURE THEORY] Low-Tech vs Fantasy-Tech

I don't like the "Fantasy-Tech" title at all.
I wouldn't know what to expect from that- what is fantasy tech?

Is is technology of an alternate history?
Gadgets involving materials like mithril or adamantite?
Something along the lines of Steamtech for fantasy?
Historically incorrect but cinematically popular things (like the infamous chainmail-bikini)?

As I understand it, Magic items will be handled separately- so what would a Fantasy Tech item be?

So- I can't imagine a title like that would indeed attract fantasy gamers; just adding the "fantasy" tag to a product probably won't be enough or the right thing to do.
