I watched a trailer and there is some kind of crystal substance that takes over people? Why can't sci fi ever be original. I miss the 50s and 60s.

>>725199801 (OP)
This sounds mid as fuck. Fitting for a mid as fuck sci-fi series I guess

>>725199801 (OP)
I'm not checking any promotional material, news or threads about it. I'll leave this thread after I post this, just wanted to say that I'll hang every single fucking belter I run across unless they are a very hot girl, in which case I will put a baby in her before I kill her family.

Earth must come first.

>>725199801 (OP)
I just wanted a new Pathfinder

>coverslop
Just let this stale 20 years old fad die already.

Not really. Expanse is just generic slop where you read about how someone floats in heccin epic zero gravity to the Shidfard chamber to replace the Dingus core in the Skibidi Engine with a Naggerfuck Wrench and it's all so friggin FUTURISTIC

I really want to believe this can be good

>attractive characters
THIS CANNOT HAPPEN IN 2025!!!!!!!!!!

>>725200118
Here's your new Pathfinder (Starfinder)

So like this is based on a tv show or something? I know nothing about this franchise.

>>725203016
Same world as book/tv show but different story

All fucking belters must fucking hang

>>725199874
It is original though. You barely know anything about the plot. And crystals exist for real. Most particles in the universe tend to form together in crystalline lattices. The crystals jutting from people is just a symptom of what's happening. The Expanse is the best new scifi in the past couple decades.

>>725199801 (OP)
I'm hyped. I hate that they had the chance to make Belters look book accurate but went with the show depiction instead. It's a key point of why Belters even act the way that they do.

QRD on The Expanse? What's it about?

I kinda miss Mass Effect stylish game. Please be good

>We're getting a SF2E game before any PF2E game
What the fuck is wrong with Paizo?

>>725199801 (OP)
that protoalien is so ugly, it looks like a mobile game monster, but I have high hopes for this game.

>>725204494
"grounded" sci-fi. humanity has only explored between earth and jupiter (I think)

>>725205080
Forgot to add that Earth and Mars (earth colony) are at a Cold War.

>>725204494
Near future scifi where humans have colonized most of the solar system. Mars, the asteroid belt, the Jovian Moons, with space stations scattered all about. There is not FTL travel, but they have an extremely efficient engine tech that allows them to fly faster than real tech. Earth is way overpopulated like 40 billion people, so people can't get jobs and live off the dole. Mars is trying to terraform the planet to be green and breathable. Mars is independent from Earth and there is a cold war between them. Both of them shit on people living in the asteroid belt and treat them like disposable slaves. Aside from the engines, there's not too much scifi devices, so everyone lives in low gravity and deals with high acceleration forces when flying in ships. The people in the belt have fundamentally changed bodies due to always being in low/zero gravity plus always living in confined metal boxes. There's almost nowhere else to explore in the solar system, so humans are finally building a ship to go to the nearest star, but it'll take generations to get there. When chaos erupts, ships start going missing or blowing up, tensions start boiling over and causing chaos/riots/murder, and the protagonists discover a web of secrets, conspiracies, and a potentially alien technology that everyone wants to get control of

I miss this show, man... Do you know if the books go beyond the last season?

>>725199801 (OP)
Still no gameplay yet right? Like there's just that little clip with the cinematic that just shows shooting in cover? I need to see the skills/builds/gun variety before any hype. There's a lot that can go wrong but I'm willing to give OwlCat the benefit of a doubt.

>>725204903
>mobile game monster
When our local vidya industry died back at the end of the 00s, a lot of devs (and thus artists) moved to mobile shit to make ends meet. I imagine that style is still not out of the system yet.

>>725205467
Yes, there are nine books plus novellas. They finish the story and have a decent conclusion. There's a time jump after the last season, so they could potentially pick the show back up with older actors.

Can I kill all Belters?

>>725205467
They do. The series ends at the end of the sixth book out of nine.

>>725205467
Last 3 books are a 20ish year timeskip, the last few episodes of the show teased the story iirc

>>725199801 (OP)
I am actually

>>725204903
Looks like a human version of Saren.

I kept telling him "doors and corners kid, that's where the jannies get you"

>>725205869
So I'm down on page 10, and I catch this kids messing with the aqua...

>>725204594
2E wasn't really received well and it also made some changes that means you can't just re-use existing tools. Like alignments being altogether gone, for example.

>>725205467
People say that the series peaks with the last three books. I don't know if it's true, I'm still on book 6. But I heard there is a timeskip

>>725206227
Starfinder 2e has all the exact same issues though (since it's pretty much PF2e IN SPACE), and is also a more recent system.

>>725206363
It's sort of three different trilogies. People didn't like the second trilogy as much since it sort of slows down to explore the aftermath of the first trilogy, then goes in an unexpected direction. But it's very much setting the stage for the final trilogy which picks back up leading into a good finale

>>725202683
People will either be massively disappointed this ISN'T like Owlcat games they want it to be, or it will succeed as it appeals to more casual audience.

>>725205697
>that webm
You know, before this show went off the deep end in the last season, it really was kind of good.

>>725199801 (OP)
>dropping this on N7 Day
kek

>>725206778
Oh it was the last season that went off the deep end? Not the previous season which was essentially part 1 of 2 of Dominic Tipper's menstrual gasping and moaning and petulant crying? Nor the one before that, which was a melodramatic survivor with sci-fi elements and a cringeworthy attempt at current year parallels?

>>725199874
so...meth

>>725207060
>essentially part 1 of 2 of Dominic Tipper's menstrual gasping and moaning and petulant crying
Your right, the last two seasons when it went down the deep end.
The woman playing naomi was such a big miscast.
The dude playing holden was bad too at the start but at least he improved over the seasons.
The bitch playing naomi became even worse.

I watched Expanse for Drummer

>>725204424
I just want a video of Ashtray Mogadishu reading the phone book...ahhhh,better than Pornhub

>>725206363
Book 6 is where i kinda stopped reading the series,,e it's been years but i just remember not really caring about all of the new characters introduced in the book.

>>725199801 (OP)
How the hell does the trailer for this have 1m+ views?
Is the expanse that popular?

>>725207882
Same

>>725210292
Lot's of people only found out about this show after it was already cancelled.

>>725210292
Owlcat are deliberately making a normalfag game, why are you surprised at these view numbers?

>>725199874
There's a bit more to it than that, and the main drama comes from the conflicts between human factions.

>>725204424
They did make the belters tall and lanky though.

Anyone play the tabletop game? I know Owlcat draws a lot from the TTRPG rules for their games but I don't know anyone who's played it.

>>725210292
It should be even more popular

>>725202683
Where's my Wendu kino and autistic AC stacking?

>>725202683
oh neat. i forgot about that.
