Is it possible?
I like scifi as a genre because all the new tech that show us, but in terms of aesthetics, always looks like shit.

Do you know any scifi RPG with good aesthetics? Even if it's just concepts, draws or artworks.

PD: If someone is going to say 40k, I admit it has cool things, but I don't find it pleasant.

It's not like you can't have a mix of both old and new in a manner, see Stargate for instance
Also idk how you can say Dune "looks good" when every visual interpretation of it looked way different. I like some depictions and don't care for others

What is "good aesthetics" to you?

Is it Star Wars or Star Trek?

Destiny or Warhammer 40.000?

Mass Effect or Starfield?

Dune or The Outer Worlds?

Titanfall or Starfinder? Avatar? Killzone?

You gotta give us something here, anon. Do you look for Science Fantasy? Sleek and modern? Realistic? Gritty? Over the top, stylized and exaggerated? Depending on your personal taste, each of these can either be visual Gigakino or total shit.

I had no idea there was so much hate towards the Verbena. I was just thinking of a character concept based on the vvitch movie from 2015 about witches who try to initiate people into their culture by first destroying all attachments they may have. But why is such a tradition so reviled? I don't see them that much different from the hermetics or the cult of ecstasy.

seen PC gameplay of third part; seems witchering is 50% of stealing random trash from peasants huts, 25% of farming so precious substances like dog's fat, last 25% mix of meh cardgame, running, repetitive farming xp to get usable higher tier items, occasional fucking and replay of boss fights as on higher levels they are insane
certainly not as I imagined witcher
>>
Yeah, what possible threat could peasants be? It's not like they killed Geralt in the books or anything.
>>
>>97342736
Amongst themselves, they’ve made reasonably made it work, so far. Everyone’s appreciated the druid’s healing magic. The Witcher’s a Griffin Witcher, and his idealism is rubbing off on the elf whenever they lament human bigotry together.

The elf and vran have started hate-fucking.
>>
>>97330885
Why would anyone want to play anything other than a witcher in a The Witcher game? Whether TT or vidya. That's the whole pull of it. Why would you want to be, say, a dwarf in the witcher world?

Thanks for the advice. Gods I feel like I butchered the kusanagi mini so badly. My primer fucked up, so I stripped it, but couldn't get all of it off, and then reprimed, and painting over it I used several thin af coats and it just feels like the primer washed away the detail. I need some industrial ass primer stripper for her.

Oddly enough, Sidereals actually reincarnated into newborns.

They didn't, if you're referencing that one ass page at the back of RotSE. Those would've been the children destined for Sidereal Exaltation, not the reincarnated Sidereals. Sidereal Exaltation regularly fails and pre-Exaltation there is no third soul there.

Its been a while since Ive read the handlers guide, but didn't the destruction of MJ12 fuck their mass surveillance capabilities?

>>97352374
All Flesh Must Be Eaten.
the real answer is just about any horror game you can run with humans that is relatively lethal would work for the mist. I'm just throwing out one that doesn't get as much love. But Call of Cthulhu or Fear Itself or, hell, even baseline WoD would probably work just as well.
>>
>>97353289
I sometimes skim the HG, I remember the ayytech shut off right after the MiGo got scared and fucked off, and most MJ12 tech was based off that, but Observer Effect contradicts that pretty blatantly. If MJ12's mass-surveillance tech was partially in-house and not just them entirely relying on the greys' Report, they may have their own version of PRISM that was running on the same shit as what was in Observer Effect that the Program has themselves now, and March might have a knockoff of
Even if they don't have a greytech PRISM serverfarm running, the KIY part of the setting mentions "subroutines" running on automated USG servers on DG's authority to watch the internet and USG intranets for signs of Yellow, and GT directly states Conradin's network got flagged internally by similar shit in the 00's after DG pushed their own tracking-software into Patriot Act systems
>>
>>97353289
they use 'a program algorithm flagged such-and-such' as part of the hook fairly often from what i recall, they're at the least on par with irl data snooping surveillance capabilities and probably beyond it. suspicious location updates from a random smartwatch is used in one, iirc.

Yeah it's hard to make it fun when a lot of it seems actually reasonable. I think the best way would be to give it some wild ass explanation, like what if RFK jr's brain worm is actually some eldritch alien parasite controlling his brain seeking to make humanity less healthy for easier control of the population idk, maybe relate it to your favorite deity who knows. There's a lot of wild ass old alien conspiracies that could be adapted to modern times if creative enough, or fuck it take inspo from current horror games and make a FNAF pastiche and relate it to the food industry, have the animatronics be possesed by ghouls or the Mi-Go or something. Ngl all of this really reminds me of that one anon who came up with a rap-focused CoC scenario where the rap industry was actually controlled by a cult of Tsathoggua who were given magic by him to make their music more popular, that could also fit well nowadays with modern controversies like the Diddy parties. My point is you can perfectly do modern conspiracies fun you just gotta go wild with it.

I had two show up in my DW campaign. A Deceiver shard disguised as Trazyn the Infinite lured the kill-team and an Imperial task force to a rival dynasty's tomb world under the pretense that they could find valuable pylon components to send to Cadia. In truth, the Imperial force was a distraction to draw away the Necron occupants and the Eldar keeping the world quarantined, while the Deceiver got to work on unshackling the Nightbringer shard buried within.

Oh, look, an utter lack of defense for your prior statements. That couldn't possibly be because you're just trying to get a rise out of folks - it's not as if you've been abandoning your position in favor of an at best tangentially related one every single post, or anything silly like that.

>The Funny
This is some serious goofball shit, which could work great in a goofball group - basically, know your audience. Personally I could see it as a fun one-shot or very short arc, perhaps even as a very occasional recurring NPC. I think it'd wear on me if it was the whole campaign, though. You don't want the joke to get stale. Again, highly audience-dependent.
>The Villains
Classic, there's a lot of ways this could go. Road to hell like anon mentioned, where they can act to the highest moral standard they like - but, if they do things the easy way (just this once, we swear!) they gain power, or persuasion, or evasion, or some tangible benefit that just barely pushes them over the edge to success - but it's always at a cost. Hand out tiny little faustian bargains like candy. If they don't take them, what's the harm? The offer's there. The offer is ALWAYS there.
For every boon they accept, maybe they take -5 to Willpower saves against one specific daemon (a surprise tool to help us later), or maybe one of their subfaction slips just a tiny bit further away from the so-named positive aspects of their god. You've got a lump of grease in that skull of yours, I'm sure you can figure out something more narratively compelling than I.

Black Crusade's hard to get a group together for, because most people who actively seek out Black Crusade games approach it in much the same manner as avid FATAL players. It's not impossible, mind you, hell, I have a buddy who just wants a satisfying narrative conclusion for his Warpsmith, but a lot of folks are just skeevy little shitters from the depths of every horror gametale you've ever read.

Wizards go around towns and villages casting Divination spells to locate fetuses destined to become wizards.
