Greetings! Have you ever wanted to play Shadowrun in space, but were afraid your head would explode? Have you played the Mass Effect games and thought to yourself: "Wow, this could make a cool RPG?" Or have you simply had the desire to play an uber-futuristic, galaxy-spanning, infinite-ammo spec-ops adventure where your actions effect not just worlds but whole star clusters??

The wait is over.

I am currently working on translating the Mass Effect universe into a playable RPG using modified SR4 rules, allowing for not only realism but variety. I plan to launch this project in Autumn 2010, after my D&D campaign is concluded and after a small hiatus. I would like 3 players (max. 4 if you're really interested), who have a basic knowledge of the Mass Effect games or novels, although it is not absolutely necessary. The fiction is already written and is immensely detailed; there are copious amounts of codex material in-game (both in M.E. 1 and 2) and on the wikia website. Essentially world-creation is done; it just falls upon me to assign numbers to abilities, races, etc.

This is an opportunity to explore a brand-new tabletop experience and also play-test for future generations. If it goes well, I plan to make the details available online for others to enjoy. I would like to lock in players early, to prepare and bring up-to-speed how Mass Effect's excellent science fiction translates to paper. I am also open to suggestions throughout the design process, but wish to test those ideas in-game before making further revisions.

If you think you would enjoy playing a psychokinetic Asari commando, an invincible Krogan battlemaster, or just a good-ol Alliance Marine (with the ability to slow down time!) then this is for you. Contact me ASAP for details.
