Hello, do you know any examples where Espers, Psychic powers, and Occultism exist in the same setting?

The Marvel and DC universes are an example, both have Magic and Psychic powers or superhuman abilities.

To Aru Majutsu no Index has Espers and Mages.

Another example is The role playing game Night Wizard. It takes place in an Earth with Magic, and has Cyborgs and Mutants with Esper abilities.

I think Shadow Run is another example but i'm not sure...

Any other ideas?

Thank you.

Final Fantasy X? It has technology (Machina, IIRC) which is considered forbidden by pretty much 90% of the world because of its alleged destructiveness. And the more popular alternative; Magic, done in the usual Final Fantasy style.

We also have Fate series, upon which magic and technology exists together, with the former under Masquerade provided by the Church and the Mage's Association. There is only one character that combines the two, and he's considered the most dangerous mage-killer out there.

Digging upon Magic Versus Technology will provide better examples than mine, though.

What is DND? Dungeons and Dragons?

And yeah, i'm aware about the technology and magic coexisting in the Nasuverse. Shiki Tohno's Mystic Eyes were classified as a Psychic power i think, and not Magic related.

But the main thing i'm looking for is, Espers and Psychic Powers in a setting with Magic.

DND (usually written D&D in my experience) is Dungeons and Dragons, yes.

Other then that, I think you're usually only going to find this sort of thing in Fantasy Kitchen Sink works - since psychic powers are normally used as science fiction's equivalent of magic, it's rare to have them coexist.

depending on what type of magic and psychic powers you're looking for, Warhammer 40000 might be right up your alley.

This is a signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Rifts is probably the deepest-detailed version of such a setting, but Shadowrun's not a bad choice either.

Gargoyles, Adventure Time, The Venture Bros, Teen Titans, Gunnerkrigg Court, Castlevania...

The latter two would prolly be most what you're looking for, but these are just ones i've seen/played. As nrjxll mentioned, perusing the Fantasy Kitchen Sink page would prolly get you faster results than asking the forums.

Stephen King's Dark Tower books kind of counts, I think. The world once had magic, which was gladly supplanted by technology and magical tech. Also, since it's a Stephen king book, physic powers eventually crop up. Also a western.

I've worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.
