[LFG] [Mass Effect D6] Anyone up for DMing that?

I would, but im garbage at DMing. All the stuff we would need is on  This blog , which contains a core rulebook and a two page character sheet (that is sadly not a fill-able PDF, nor is there one on the internet, but a friend says he can make one easily if we got the game rolling. Personally, my only issue with its rules is that it states Quarians and Geth can't be in the same party, which makes sense in that a Quarian would murder a Geth super hard...UNLESS given story reasons not to. Oh, that and Prothean is an acceptable race, i expect anyone who plans on playing one to have a damn good reason OR just literally be Javik

I never played or ran this version, didn't even know there is a D6 system out.. I'm definitely interested.

Cool, so we got three people up for playing, now we just need a couple more and a DM and we're solid.

I would like to play if you can get the DM and other players. 

I might be if you explain how the game works.

All i know is what's in the rulebook that can be found at the link i provided above. As far as i can tell, it should work about the same as every other game that runs on a D6 system, such as D6 space or D6 starwars, with players getting a pool of 18 or so dice, with each characteristic on the sheet having a minimum and maximum amount of dice you can put in to generating them based on race, with a stat custom to this game for Biotics that you need to put at least one dice in to if you're a biotics capable race and you want them (although some races simply have 'no mention' when they specify if the race has biotics, so that's up to the DM)

Do you know if there is a Character sheet in Roll 20 for this game? Or would any D6 system character sheet work for it?

There's a character sheet on the provided link, sadly, its not a PDF nor is it editable, although a friend of mine says it wouldn't be too hard to make it both

I'm that person, did it&nbsp;<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1nb2Y1MwfPnM0dud19OS1lIb28/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1nb2Y1MwfPnM0dud19OS1lIb28/view?usp=sharing</a>

So, I'm watching this if you find a DM. I'm itching for some Mass Effect.

Hey group, I have been DMing an ongoing Serenity RPG using the Cortex system for about a year and a half now with a group of friends. I have heard about this and could be interested in taking up the challenge of DMing. I have not done any online/skype groups though and this would be my first foray into that (and actually signed up for this site after seeing this post). However, the logistics of that couldn't be too difficult if we can find a time that works for the group. So, with that said, are the posters who mentioned being interested still?

Hey, Stephen! I am most certainly still interested, although i can't speak for the others. As for the logistics of using skype, its not too hard, we simply use it for a group call and use Roll20 for everything from the maps to the rolling. As for the time, we can wait for everyone to confirm they're still interested before getting in to that

I don't know, does&nbsp; this say&nbsp; It?

I'm glad that you both are still interested! I thought I would reply with a few more details about my preferences and tendencies as a Game Master. I love to tell stories which is my real motivation to host and reward good storytelling and good character development. I would say that my games tend to have a central mystery/investigation and that ratio wise they are 33:66 combat/action : role playing. I wanted to make that clear and transparent in case that doesn't mix with anyone else's preferences. If you have any other questions for me, I will be happy to share. Out of curiosity, does roll20 offer a way of segregating groups so that set-up could be discussed outside of the forum, or does a google group or something along those lines become necessary? I will spend some time tonight exploring the site and its functionality as well.

I'm also still interested.

Use of a third party things like, Skype or Discord is pretty much required as roll20 does not provide a segregation of which you speak. Combat for me tends to be the weaker part of RPG's so I'm all good in terms of that style. Mystery/investigation can run dry so I would warn against having it be a central theme.

I'm gonna put it out there that I vastly prefer Discord over Skype for voice stuff. Better set up for gaming of all kinds, rarely any technical problems.

Just poking my head in here, you have any openings for any other players? Not gonna lie I'd love to try a Mass Effect table top owo

As a, apparently, 401st lurker, i'd like to say i would also like to join the game if you have any spare slots. I tried to sign up for other ME games around here in the past, but it never lined up.

Please PM me for an invite when this is made. &nbsp;Mass Effect is my jam!!!

So, any word Stephen?

I was actually about to make a post asking the same, I'd still like to play if possible, ether this or something else, been itching to play an rpg for a while .w.

Is it me or the system seems complicated?

It does have a bit of over complication to it, lots of extra numbers where they don't really seem to need em.

So what's the status on this?&nbsp;

Pending. We have a lot of interest, a possible GM, but no co-ordination on getting everyone together. If at all possible, would the person wishing to GM this bitch create a game on Roll20 and, excuse the pun, get this rolling?

Hi group, I have finished reading through the rule book and have begun story creation. I have a fundamental story and the first two sessions mapped out from a high level view. I have also spent some time using the game board here on Roll20 learning how things work. (As a reminder, I have not gamed on here before). I can go ahead and create a game session but I have to ask for a little patience. Is there anyone in the group who is around tonight who would be interested in talking me through some of the website functionality over discord? PM if so.

You are correct that when it refers to D3, you are rolling 3 d6. As outlined on page 6, if you had a skill that was 3D+4 (the plus four would come from 4 total pips, pips coming from taking two of your allotted skill dice and breaking it into six points, and assigning 4 to the skill and the remaining two points to other skill(s).) it would play out like the following: You would roll 3 d6 (or 2 d6 + 1d6! to assign one of the dice as a Wild Die). Let's say you rolled 4, 4, 6, the six on the wild die. You would roll again and add the next die. For the example, let's say that next die you roll a 2. Your total then would be 4+4+6+2+ (4 from your pips) = 20. The wild die also can serve as a critical failure, if you roll a 1 on it. For this example, if you were to roll 4, 4, 1 the 1 being the wild die, you would cancel out your highest die (one of the 4s) and sum the remaining. The result is therefore: 4+1+(4 from pips) = 9. &nbsp;While it does not explicitly state in the rules that the 1 should be added to the final sum, when it says you add the "remaining values" it is modifying the "highest roll" not the 1, so 1 should be included in that interpretation.

Hello group, I have created a game and it can be found at the following link: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/2111678/k2mWYw" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/2111678/k2mWYw</a> Interested parties should move discussion to that board. I have created a first gaming session of next Wednesday only as a placeholder. I am not stuck on the day or time but will be available at that time to live discuss character creation. I look forward to seeing some of you there. I think 4-6 would be a good number, and would be very surprised if we were able to manage to pull that many people together at the same time. But, let's give it a go! Stephen
