By the Emperor's will, we have landed safely. Beware of hostile forces, however, as one of our fleets is battling a Tau armada on the far side of the planet. Enjoy the pleasures of this paradise world while you can. Ezra out.

We are proud to announce that the game is finally FINISHED all PDF files are free and ready to be sent out.
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, we included out contact email in there ([email protected]) so you can give us feedback and share your stories.
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.
(Please email us at [email protected] for a free copy, or from the dropbox links below.)
Thank you for all your support, the galaxy is counting on you!
Love,
The Dawn of Shadows and Spectres Team

Discussion:
>What is the best Familiar in the game
>And why is it Pooka
I'm from the last thread with the theoretical wizard organization.
But what I'm thinking is using profession and crafting rules to see how much my followers can make.
lets assume a character has on average a +2 mod in either wisdom or intelligence (if they're doing a profession or craft). So level 1s have a +6, 2s a +7, and so on.
We count undead on taking 10 on a profession check as an unskilled laborer.
At level 7 I have 28 undead, an int mod of +8, a guildhall, and a generous reputation, giving me a total leadership score of 18.

Will we ever get a construct race that isn't small?
>>43726960
Port over the warforged? If you drop their -2 to either wisdom or cha, they end up roughly balanced as a PF race.
In the 41th millenia the Imperium of Man is at siege at all fronts. Losing and gaining terriotory happend daily. But the Imperium would collapse if it weren't for the Imperial Navy that binds all the planets together for the God Emperor.
You are the captain of one of the Emperors finest ships the Imperium can offer. What type of ship do you command?

Hey /tg/ does your current character suffer from any tragedy's?
>>43726672
Why did you put an apostrophe there
Like, okay, sometimes you make a mistake when it comes to certain contexts, like possessive nouns, but I can't think of any path of logic that would lead to a person thinking an apostrophe goes where you put it.
>>43726741
I have no excuse besides I just fucked up.
My character's master was killed, and his loved one is missing in a post-apocalyptic wasteland
So is Most Holy Terra meant to be Earth in the future? I was reading through some of the fluff and I think GW has put clues suggesting this. For example Terra means Earth in ancient Greek. Also one of the planets in Terras solar system is Mars - coincidence??!?!
Has anyone else noticed this and if so, is it just a running joke from GW or do think they will reveal it as a plot twist in the future, for example in one of the summer campaigns?
This isn't news, or hidden by GW. Terra is actually earth in the 41st millennium. Mentioned or obviously hinted at in many canon texts
>>43726525
There are some similarities, sure, but I think you're reading way too much into it. There's no way that it could actually be earth.
It's probably some retarded patois bastardization like Yrth or Uaerth or something copyrightable.

GW is finally advancing the fluff. The new Mont'ka book is going to shake up the Status Quo (at least for the Tau) and change things permanently. Oh boy does this sets a precedent.
One of these characters (with models) is going to die by Imperial assassin hands. Which one will it be?
Will this fluff advancement will be a start of a trend of more setting advancement? Is 40K going to the direction of the End Times? What other plotlines do you guys want to be advanced/resolved?
>>43726486
Far right so the waifuists will rage hard.
>>43726486
Definitely that guy on the right, don't even play or know the more but he has a kill me vibe.
>>43726486
I mean if it's #2 or #3 then itsfuckingnothing.jpg - only #1 would really be significant and even then they'd use it as a way to field Farsight stuff in a normal Tau army as they are re-integrated.
My Idea: the entire game system revolves around rolling one dice to determine the outcome of a situation. The turn goes:
Player Nominates Action (the Shout)
GM says the number they have to beat (the Call)
Player rolls the Dice (the Gamble)
So in a example game (lets say set in a lovecraft universe, however this system is versatile enough to work in ANY univese):
GM: "you are jumped out on by a Shaggoth"
Player: "I SHOUT to chop his head of"
GM: "I CALL this has a 5/6 chance of success"
Player: (rolls dice A.K.A....

This is no different than 90% of system that set a DC you're attempting to hit, except you remove modifiers and the DCs are decided by the GM arbitrarily. This isn't a bad thing, just not unique in the slightest.

>rolling one dice
Dohoho
Player and GM bet hidden d4 pools against each other. More even numbers means you win, but if you lose you have to put your d4s on the floor and step on them.
What TRPG has the most deadly combat system?

L5R is pretty lethal

F.A.T.A.L. Players might kill themselves for real.
Regale us with tales of the greasiest neckbeards you've encountered, why were they so gross and what did you do?
>bored in college
>join local Tabletop Club to pass the time
>expect the worst
>most people actually pretty presentable, non-autistic, friendly
>but then of course there's THAT GUY
>about 300lbs, never showers or uses seemingly any form of hygiene
>permanent pizza stains down the front of all his shirts
>sits next to me
>the stench of ten thousand sweaty armpits mixed with piss wafts over me
>try to move chair as far as possible from him and remain downwind
>opens his mouth to release an autismal grunt about the rules and doritos and dew fumes melt my face off
>fuck me why did he sit here
>unsurprisingly he's an autistic rules lawyer who picks the stupidest characters possible and immediately attempts to derail everything.
>attempts to kill me for jokingly appointing myself the sheriff when that was 'his title'.
>end up pushing his shit in eventually so he immediately demands to switch games
Eventually he left and the rest of the night was enjoyable with all the semi-normal people playing but don't these people have any sense of shame? Why don't you at least wash your pizza stained clothes you fat fuck?
>>43725692
same thing basically, a huge fat fucker in my first group who rolled up a homebrew witcher race/class and always tried to seduce every woman he met
>>43725692
At my own local college gaming club I've run into a few rancid individuals.
One guy (I never knew his name but people sometimes called him Stinkpit) was really huge, tall, about 350lbs or more, and the type of guy who doesn't carry the weight well at all, like he has a really thin bone structure so he looks way fatter even than he probably is. He would always wear dirty pants and stained, stretched to fuck t-shirts, had longish hair that was always greasy and sort of wet. He smelled ungodly, so bad...

Another guy a few years ago at the same club was much older, probably in his 40s or 50s. He was pretty big too, had a big ass beard. He was the aggressive type of socially awkward, not like he was shy, but he was loud, forceful, angry, demanding of others all the time in a very inappropriate way. I remember once he got angry at a pizza shop that someone was "poaching" his players, because they asked the table of people eating pizza if anyone wanted to play Catan. He got up and was full throated shouting and cursing at this 19 year old asian kid, cursing so loud you could hear him all through the restaurant and everyone was just sort of shocked and silent.
The guy also smelled kinda bad, but not as bad as the average Magic player at the club. What was really gross about him was how unclean he was. He had really long fingernails and there would be grime and mud caked under them, as though he had not cut them or properly washed his hands in days or weeks. Once he showed up with shit on his underwear, the inside and outside of the back of his pants, up the skin of his back and up the back of his t-shirt. There was a lot of it, and when he would lean forward you could see inches of the stuff, caked on and dry like it had been there for hours. He sat there for four or five hours like that, seemingly unaware, then went home.
At least they nailed the fanatics down pretty well.
Still no word what shrooms they were on when they announced the Chaos Preorder.

The quiet in the room was near deafening, the only sounds being those of distant wordless noise from the courts below the Tower of the Sun. Upon your eyes a heated rage so deeply seeded it almost tore you apart by mere thought. Conversely, upon Lord Jon Arryn’s, one of immense displeasure, as if he had just eaten a foul egg. It was a disdain that extended to yourself, you were unsure of who to blame in this. From the moment you had stepped foot in King’s Landing your head had been filled with lies, both boldly to your own face and those in quiet word behind closed door....

The burning upon your face has extended to your ears by now, his words washed upon you. Again preaching to you of your actions, of the need for subtle step, rather than brash booted foot crashing through the bloody gates of your enemies, “Who is they?”
“Lord Royce Redward, no doubt the Landwards possibly the Blounts. They would like nothing more than to see you attempt to go to war with them.”
Three houses again, to your one, upon thought you remember the Dargoods and their possible position in this, of your family’s long standing disdain of the Thorne’s...

“The man that murdered my family, that betrayed them upon the field of battle, raped and kidnapped my mother and sister, he is granted all of this? Where is the justice in this? How could such a thing be allowed?”
“There is no justice in war my Lord. The victor enjoys exclusive right to the narrative that shall follow, where you would see a turn coat, another would see a war hero.”
You rise from your seat, slowly, with purpose and turn your back to Lord Arryn. Your body shudders from the sheer rage building upon your mind, “Why did they lie to me?”...
