Valucre is two things. For one, it is website proper that hosts all of the information and is home to hundreds of players. Second, "Valucre" is the name of the in-character canon world, comprised of Terrenus, Genesaris, Tellus Mater, and Exodyus.
The canon world is coined open-source, so that any type of person or character from any type of genre is capable of joining in seamlessly and interacting with the thousands of storylines and plot arcs floating around.
What is fantasy? What is science-fiction? If you follow Arthur C. Clarke's laws that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", then you might have a problem drawing a clear distinction between the two.
I will clarify what I mean by using firearms as a common example. In many fantasy settings, guns are a no-no. In Terrenus guns are merely a rarity. That is to say that there are no gunsmiths, no one to make bullets, and gunpowder isn't common. You can bring a gun but you better know how to make your own bullets. In Renovatio however, a portion of Tellus Mater, guns are prevalent, can be used and bought and replaced freely.
