Hey guys! I am trying to get this out here as we have been working on this for about 2 months now. We will be offering this entirely free and it most resembles 3.5 varrient, but I wanted to post our information and updates here. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO MAKE A PROFIT this is from one group of fans to another and we hope you will love it. A small group of us have been slaving over creating a fun and fully functional Dungeons and Dragons style game set in the Mass Effect universe. We have set it about 11 years before the first Mass Effect, allowing players to forge their own stories, but it is also possible to role play the entire game story if you so choose. We started this project about a month ago, we are based out of Maryland and there are only 3 of us, but we love this game so much we wanted to create something fun and new to help not only us but our fellow fans to survive until the next game and beyond.
We have titled it Dawn of Shadows and Spectres or DSS for short. There are other Mass Effect tabletop games, (I think there is one complete version out there) However, we have played them, and found a great many holes in them. Our game strives to be as complete and thorough as possible, but we will need your feedback to keep improving it. If this takes off, we will happily make expansions based on your recommendations. While this will be our rough draft it is intended to be a living document, so you can give us feedback and share your stories here.
This is extensive, we wanted to include as much content as we could think of, all the guns, armor, upgrades, and a large number of ships are included with all the information you need to pick up and play as well as a custom created character sheet to help guide you through this process.
We are going to finish compiling everything today and play test again on Monday, after we fix some glaring errors I know we are going to find, we will continue working on it until we feel it is ready for release.
Thank you so much for checking this out, if there is anything you specifically would like in the game please feel free to email us before we release it and we will work to add it, although I can assure you most everything we can think of is there.
I will leave you with our introduction, we can't wait to hear about your many adventures and we really hope you love this as much as we have loved working on it.
Love, The Dawn of Shadows and Spectres Team
2172 CE, 11 years before the events of Mass Effect, the galaxy is open to the pioneers and adventures seeking to make their mark on the uncharted universe. Humanity has been granted an embassy on the Citadel, the capital of the Galactic Council which is currently represented by the Turians, Asari, and Salarians. Batarians and Vorcha have been excluded from Citadel space and the Geth are hidden safety behind the Veil. The players in this universe have an entire open galaxy at their disposal. Will you become a feared mercenary basing yourself in the slums of Omega? Will you aid Cerberus in their illicit bid for control of the Systems Alliance? Will you work with the Council, striving to become a Spectre? The choice is entirely yours---
