- Paizo Editor-in-Chief Wesley Schneider has been running a Pathfinder/Mass Effect hybrid (Pathfinder rules, M.E, setting) for Paizo staff for the past year. He's put together his notes (pretty much a 90% complete adventure), Pathfinder race write-ups of the main sentient species of the Mass Effect universe, tons of handouts, maps, etc, all as a free download for anyone else who might like to play with them and run a similar game. There's also quite a few candid shots (even a video a page or two back) of the Paizo crew gaming on there.
