StarSiege? (doesn't look like there are many overt fantasy elements)

No that's not the one. Let me do some research, I'll remember it.

Any fans of Dragonstar should look at Factory and Arsenal. Science-fantasy books that dovetail with Dragonstar really well.

Anomalous Subsurface Environment is a fun science-fantasy D&D (technically, Labyrinth Lord) module.

I can vouch for those two, they were well worth the price.

Fading Suns and Star Frontiers would be the best two that I can think of.

Was it Sun and Storm?  I can't remember but the setting was cool anyhow.  Kind of Spell Jammer played straight and dark.

Dark Sun for D&D has a really nice feel to it.  Not much science fiction but much more like Barsoom than Middle Earth.  Blend it with Buck Rogers or Stars Without Number by treating Athalas as a planet an exploration ship encounters.

Quote from: Rincewind1;904037Hey guys, my friend wants to run some Science - Fantasy, but he doesn't want Numenarra. I suggested SWN and Hulks & Horrors, but could use some more - I know we have some real Barsoon fans over here, so maybe you guys know.

Savage Worlds with Savage Worlds: Mars by Adamant.
The Rocket Age RPG is that by default.
And technically, all of Tekumel is science fantasy, while DCC has some fan-made add-ons for DCC in space.

There's a D20 version of Farscape, if you like that show and the d20 system.

Savage Worlds covers you on many levels. Just depends where you want to put your stake in the ground.

Mars, Rifts, Rippers, or heck, you could use the base book and Sci-fi/Fantasy splats and make your own up.

Tekumel, Talislanta - occupy the same fantasy-science space.

Spelljammer - Gonzo sci-fantasy. If you like D&D, it's hard to beat.

Cheers everyone, passed the suggestions on.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Under the Moons of Zoon is a nice, free, d6 based Science Fantasy, sort of Barsoom meets HP Lovecraft.

Fading Suns has a sort of Dune flavour to the religion and politics underlying the setting.

Rocket Age is a fun 1930's Pulp science fantasy.

The fanmade OD&D supplement for Barsoom:

Warriors of Mars, by Grey Elf. Could be used with whatever B/X, Labyrint Lord, Swords&Wizardry etc etc. Google is your friend. But one should read up on at least the first three John Carter novels since it is quite sparce on general Barsoom lore..

Otherwise :

Warriors of the Red Planet. A S&W-mod game, Barsoom in most but name. Dead tree PoD available at drivethu and rpgnow. You could probably use this game  with suggestion above to pull stuff from.
