Octopus Overlords

I wanted to get back into running RPGs and figured a casual forum based game based on a well known video game property would be interesting, and it's been a while since I've run a scifi game.

I'm currently really into the Mass Effect universe, so why not?

Anyone want to participate in a play by post, or if we can organize times, a game over google wave or ventrilo?

I'll be using the D6 system, a classic system that was used in the old West End Star Wars RPGs.

I will say I am interested and I would be available on Google Wave. I read the first Mass Effect book but not the 2nd.

Just to toss a thought into the mix but would it be interesting to have one of the group play the main villain of the story instead of the GM handling those duties?

I prefer a more classic RPG GM style where I control all antagonists, this way I can weave a more coherent story.

Hey, your the boss. Count me in!

Sadly, doesn't look like there's much interest in this.

It's the holidays and people have their hands full. Why not wait until a week or two into January and see if people are interested. ) I think it's an interesting idea.

That's quite interesting. Because of that I want to play ME again.

While it sounds interesting, I doubt a time difference of 15 hours on my end can make it work
