Greywall Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 So would anyone be interested is doing a mass effect rp? We could work out a system where I game stats determine how many planets you can colonize, how many ships you have have, troops etc and how effective your technology can be. Just an idea.

Peter Ilyich Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Maybe it can be like Mass Effect, but if you name it Mass Effect RP, people who don't like Mass Effect will not play. See what i mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yerushalayim Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 <_< I came to this expecting a character RP suggestion, and was going to post the link to the download of the Mass Effect D20 rulebook. ;) Still will if anyone wants it.

Greywall Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 It's just a suggestion, if everyone wanted to do a character based rp we can do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yerushalayim Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Time allowing, I wouldn't mind either. I'd prefer a national RP, actually. :P Gimme a Krogan Republic, and I'd be happy. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestari Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 You people fucking baffle me. How can you take a rich universe like Mass Effect, ripe for exploration, a brilliant environment for great character interaction and development, and be like 'lol let's shit all over all of this with some bullshit national RP'.

Uberstein Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Maybe don't come to a nation building game's forum if you don't want nation building RP? You'd think it would be obvious the kind of person this forum would attract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestari Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 It was a joke. Well, partially a joke. I really don't think Mass Effect lends itself well to a nation-building RP, especially not the way it's done here (ie, not so much RP as slapping together a bunch of shit you read on the internet and calling it military development and then sending off a diplomat for some meaningless diplotalk), but I've definitely seen some pretty excellent Mass Effect character roleplays that didn't succumb to the usual pitfalls of a 'fanfiction' roleplay.

Uberstein Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 *shrug* I've never played the game, so I wouldn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yerushalayim Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I figured Mass Effect would be harder to mess up like RP2 is, because the setting isn't built for the kind of shit that goes down in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurius Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 The entire Mass Effect universe is built around characters. To do a national rp that will actually reflect the universe properly is impossible, it will just be a generic space rp with mass effect names and maybe characters.

Yerushalayim Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Or people can do the thing that some of us do (and I know it's crazy, but stay with me for a minute), and include characters in their national RP. It's not like Mass Effect didn't include large, national spanning, events within which characters developed. And it's not like that's impossible to RP.

Centurius Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 All the major events in the end were built around a singular character though and beyond the non-Citadel races the Mass Effect universe is basically a Confederation. Not a lot of potential for national interaction there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywall Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Well how about a knights of the old republic character rp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 How about we do a young adult novel character RP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I would love a sci fi RP based on ig stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
