The [[Book of Amber]] mixes happily different streaks of [[Science Fantasy|Fantasy and Science Fiction]] and all kinds of [[Another Dimension|Other Dimensions]]. It features both epic elements and a dark-ish [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]].

* [[A God Am I]] - All the Amberites, starting with {{spoiler|Dworkin}} and including Oberon and Oberon's children. The first thing that any of Oberon's children do upon gaining the ability to wander through alternate dimensions is usually to find a dimension which they consider to be a paradise, complete with an entire society of worshippers. Considering that even the Amberites do not know whether they just find worlds or actually ''create'' them through their imagination, they might just be ''right''.
* [[A God Is You]] - The RPG. A personalized Shadow, for example, costs a single point during character creation, and even spending that much is a luxury, since the characters can just make their own any time they like. The developers openly encourage players to act as epically as possible: at one point, an FAQ poses the question of what to do if the characters start using the [[Psychic Powers]] offered by a high Psyche stat to effortless brush off hundreds of Shadow [[Mooks]] without a fight. The answer is, essentially, "So what if they do?"
