Post a piece of art you could write an entire campaign based on

Sounds like Fallen London to me.

Hello, delicious friends.

And that's how we got half dragons and nasty rumors that dragons are evil.

I'm thinking a Mutant Year Zero game run where your Ark is an old cruise ship, which I believe is one of the sample Arks from the book. Alternately a post-apocalyptic game run using something like Other Dust or Broken Earth for Savage Worlds where the main goal in the campaign is to find an old cruise ship to obtain food/medicine/supplies for your group/tribe/settlement. Those things are practically small floating cities and could be a rich find for some post-apocalyptic scavengers.

I think that one is called "Welcome to Asgard", following the Thor, Love and Thunder movie.

Definite Silent Legions/Delta Green/Night's Black Agents vibe from this one. I really wonder about this killing field in the shadow of wealth and high technology. Almost makes me think of mafia dumping grounds in northern New Jersey, only in this case the hitman looks like a priest or businessman. Sopranos meets They Live/Us.

I'm thinking the glowy-eyed folks come from the towers... they have the tech/money/power... and prey on the regular folks living in the lowlands. The guy in the suit w/purse is just an average guy with a vendetta because they stole his kids/family/dog/truck.

This cover, along with reading Star Man's Son, led me to purchase Gamma World many decades ago.

Imagine trying to explore a feywyrld landscape conceptualised by polish artist Jacek Yerka...










No idea what system for this - but nothing too gritty; something that can be played very emotive and narrative focused...

Knightriders!!! George Romero classic.

Knightriders (1981) - IMDb

Knightriders: Directed by George A. Romero. With Ed Harris, Gary Lahti, Tom Savini, Amy Ingersoll. A medieval reenactment troupe struggles to maintain its family-like dynamic amid pressure from local authorities, interest from talent agents, and their "King's" delusions of grandeur.

This says something Blade Runner to me, but then I view all sci-fi like that!

Just screams MegaCity & Judge Dred to me.

Seems a bit low density for that, unless that's the roofs of other buildings and not the buildings themselves (like Coruscant).

 

[The Convenient Skill]

For some reason I got this out of a Kinder Egg one year and it struck me as a comedy campaign for my kids. Not very 'technical' but inspiring at the time (never did get around to it...).

That *is* Mega CIty One isn't it? from the Karl Urban Judge Dredd film?

Possibly, but that suffered from the same effect. Every building in MC1 (comic) is 10s of stories tall, with inter connecting road and pedways.

Now I know there are no real places like that (filmed on location in South Africa if memory serves me right - probably not!), but I would have thought in this day and age they could CGI one.

EDIT: Although the film is 10 years old now, and it was South Africa (at least predominantly, don't know if that shot is genuinely SA).

It was South Africa. They did the location shots for the round building here.

Johannesburg's Ponte City: 'the tallest and grandest urban slum in the world' – a history of cities in 50 buildings, day 33

In an inner-city neighbourhood gradually shedding its crime-riddled skin, Ponte is a symbol of the renaissance sweeping South Africa’s commercial capital

"Oh, wait a bit longer, dear rider! I'm sure I can get you to some place where you can stuff your eternally hungry belly...all because ya humans can't eat once a month like normal creaturs, nope!"

Can't figure out if that third guy is an astronaut or half of Daft Punk.

This would be an alternate history chronicle. (Kinda like Apple's For all Mankind). Imagine space travel thirty to forty years before, with the British/ UK spearheading space and rocket science.

Note: Several Germans (and Americans) would of been in the UK towards the start of tension, as they were interested in civilian/ transportation rocketry long before other things. (Given a few of them, they would of seen no reason to go back).

It also would of pulled many physicists from a variety of fields and put them either in the same place or near each other. That interaction could of generated many scientific advances ahead of our timeline.

Plus Jet engines would of been a possibility in 1938 if this research had been funded. (Imagine if Rolls Royce got involved. The world's foremost engine makers (at the time)....) It is a possibility they would worked on what we would can a ram scoop (rocket plus get to get a plane like ship into space.)

It would of changed the course of the war, if not the world. Hop Points in the happentrack would happen as the armies begin to march... because that is when certain tech groups were formed for all side. If a practical launch (to orbit if not beyond) could of been achieved before the 40s, it would of includes science certain political parties could be hard to discredit,

We could do an early game of science soap opera. We could do a later game of spies and counter spies. After the war, we are back to science soap opera, including the trip to Mars. We could set it even farther and dealing with the Humans in Space.
