Do comics count?

>>49118457
Pretty much all of them, science-fiction is /tg/ almost by definition.

Guardians of the Galaxy is probably the one that feels the most like a standard campaign, though.

Donjon is very much /tg/, but I'm not sure if it's been translated.

>>49119374
Are there even any movies or series that are both cyberpunk and urban fantasy, outside of chinese cartoons?

>>49119463
That silly girl with fantasy tattoos movie series. Not full cyberpunk, but kinda..

Are we really at this point now? This shouldn't upset me but it does.

>>49119463
Season 5 of Angel is that, if the protagonists work for a megacorp.

>>49119308
How is the expanse?

I liked Leviathan Wakes, is the show half as good?

>>49121977
Not that anon, but it was my first introduction to Leviathan Wakes and I loved it. First couple of eps seemed a bit slow but after that I was hooked.

Fucking NOIR IN SPAAACE

>>49121037
It's bait

>>49118457
footfall anyone?

Firefly was shit.

>>49118457
Can I suggest Revelation Space?
The crew of a lighthugger would be a fantastic concept to built a party around. Ultras are mostly crazy murderhobos already.

>>49123087
Also the books are pretty good too

>>49118457

I'm not all of /tg/, but:
Dune (no one mentioned it because it's too obvious, but just to be safe)
The Stainless Steel Rat
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I, Robot

The only redeemable character was River.

>>49119380
That comic was (and continues to be) the shit

>>49126016
>highest bidder murderer for hire
What's your point?

>>49126110

Adam Baldwin has this remarkable ability to show up in something and immediately become my favorite character.

>>49126157
He's a treasure.

>>49126016
>River
>redeemable

>>49126016
>childfucking engineer
>faggot doctor
I don't recall these.

>>49124264
So is your opinion. The difference between the two is that there are people who believe Firefly was not shit.

>>49126016
>miscegenation

This invalidates anything else you have to say. I'm sure there's more... like more use of the overused "cuckold" word but this was enough to stop me readIng.

Capaldi and Eccleston nuWho was actually okay because the main leads carried the show hard
Otherwise yeah, it's incoherent, cheap, preachy shite.

>>49129762
I wholeheartedly agree on Eccleston and Capaldi. Tennant just had bad luck with the writers, I think.

>>49129848
Yeah I think Tenant is a good actor, but his series were even more poorly written than later Smith series. They were more uniform and made more sense but were just fucking boring.

>>49119374
No, Shadowrun is Neuromancer with elves. Blade Runner just looks like Neuromancer.

>>49125902

Definitely not that.

It's mediocre. Not bad, no, but definitely not worth recommending.

Books:
>The Worm Ouroboros (epic fantasy campaigns)
>Alamut (focused political campaigns)
>Book of the New Sun (unfocused political campaigns)
>Don Quixote (sandbox campaigns)
>Borges short stories (dungeon material)
>Decision at Duna or whatever (catering to furries 101)

Movies
>Conan the Barbarian (self explanatory)

Vidya
>Space Marine (self explanatory)
>Dwarf Fortress (setting material)
>Caves of Qud (setting material)

>>49126016
Pathetic.
I'd accuse this of being bait, but I don't give your intelligence that much credit; you're just a cunt. Get back in your hole.

>>49126016
>>Buddhist masquerading as a Christian
We call them "stoics".
>The only redeemable character was River.
Best bait in the whole post.

>>49129975
Oh shit, I forgot Dominions 4. Play it, and read the manual, for a guide on how to worldbuild. And how to implement your worldbuilding, too.

Fringe

>>49129882

Apparently, Gibson walked out of Blade Runner because he didn't want it to color his perspectives while writing Neuromancer.

What's the rest of /tg/s opinion of Dark Matter?

For those who missed the first season, 4 assassins/terrorists, a robot/android, and a technopath teenage girl have their memories erased, and try to become intergalactic robin hoods, while trying to discover their past.

>>49134664
It's trash, but it's got enough firefly in it's blood that I can't stop watching.

Farscape *is* a frelling D&D party.

…and of course:

>Crichton (Human Bard)

>>49129722
She was a clever idea when she first showed up.
Then she got to be a Mary Sue way hard.
Funny thing is, Old Who had a pretty much perfect relationship between the Doctor and a Time Lord who's smarter than him in the form of Romana 1. Well, at least Book Smarts smarter than him.

>>49134664

Killjoys and Dark matter are my top two sci-fi shows.

Holy shit season 2 needs to hit netflix. of both.

>>49143964
Dark Matter is pretty cool for a modern sci-fi, fair bit of the old Blakes7 in terms of feel and general criminality

>>49126157
He truly does.

Speaking of /tg/ approved shows starring Adam Baldwin: The Last Ship.

It is actually a fairly good post apocalypse drama, despite being made for cable TV. (then again, not like there's been much competition.)

>>49126016
Sonny, throwing the whole goddamn tackle box off of the dock does not constitute fishing.

>>49144068
TLS is kind of cool as its not really trying too hard to be anything it isn't and the actors and characters are likeable enough.
There's been a few like it in the last few years but they've generally been terrible-mediocre (ie- Last Resort)

Stranger Things was pretty neat, that whole 80's chic and a bunch of D&D playing kids I loved

>>49129975

Babylon 5

Canticle for Leibowitz, I Robot, Dresden Files, Laird Barron, HP Lovecraft, Bradbury, Neverwhere, Charles Stross, Fritz Leiber, Perdirto Street Station, The Diamond Age, Clark Ashton Smith, I Am Legend

Or, God help us all, Revolution. Never have I been so disappointed. I go in expecting S.M. Stirling's The Change, and what do I get? I-am-totally-not -Katniss. With a crossbow. TWO SEASONS OF IT. At least the Monroe Republic was cool.

>>49144215

I really wanted to like that show, but man... it turned into an annoying piece of shit fairly quick
