Maybe our SF rules need a subcategory of conventions that, strictly speaking, do not fit the accepted rules of SF, but have been accepted nonetheless:
  • Star Drives
  • Time Travel
  • Psi Powers
  • Communicable Humanoid Aliens
Anything else for this list?
- Superpowers ("Psi Powers" could be a subcategory of this)
- Tangent history (a history that is identical to ours until the point it diverges)
