I’m very new to ttrpgs, but I’d like to host or join players who’d be interested in a Mass Effect dnd game (a casual OneShot or very short Campaign) using the homebrew Mass Effect 5e rules for DnD5e. It doesn’t have any weight gain/inflation mechanics in the vanilla module, but I’d like to homebrew some for it (unless there’s a way to port them from a different weight gain / inflation module!) I’ve never been game master before, but I could offer to be the GM! it’d be fun to try it out and write out a short story and make some combat scenarios where our characters get fattened up / blimped. I’d like to make rules that encourage us to get big, by giving us stat boosts and abilities rather than just hindering us (I wouldn’t be against being hindered by our size if we get ridiculously huge though, that’s also hot xp) It would take a bit to set up since I’m busy until November, but if you’d be interested in something like this feel free to DM me or reply and we can discuss it further. ^w^
You had me at Mass Effect. Count me interested.
You have my attention, predicated upon my being a Player and not the DM. I do enough of that on my own time. -_-
Related, given that experience I would be willing to help you hash out the WG rules, effects, and such.
I’m pretty sure EDnD has a PDF for Mass Effect DnD. ExpanD&D - Expansion and Weight gain themed rules for D&D 5e Might be good to look into that. But if you’re gonna DM, I might be intrested!
Alright, awesome! I would love to DM, it’d be my first time though so I hope I can do a good job xp
sounds interesting! i’d definitely be down to try!
I’m all for any system that combines pros and cons to weight gain (preferably in a way that means being plump is a net boon, but becoming a blimp is less so lol) so that being a glutton doesn’t overtake other levelling and power creep mechanics. Consider me on the list of those interest in having Mass Effected
If you’re still looking I’d love to give a oneshot a go. Have yet to actually play any weight gain/inflation ttrpg.
I’m down for it! I love mass effect, I hope to hear more about this soon! Be safe and take care.
Sounds fun ngl. I’d love to do something like that in the future.
Im open to Join, whatever time works best for you
Massive Effects | GM Binder FOUND IT!
Seems like it’s hyper incomplete.
You’re not wrong, but at least it’s a base for CreamieShakes to work with if they choose to GM a game. It’s better than nothing
:0 cool, thank you! <3
That actually sounds like a pretty creative way to learn GMing, especially if you keep the first game short.
I would probably start with a OneShot and keep the custom mechanics fairly simple at first. Maybe use only a couple of clear stages with specific bonuses or penalties so you are not trying to balance a completely new subsystem while also running your first game.
Mass Effect should give you plenty of opportunities for fun combat and weird sci fi situations too.
If you find a few players who are into the same idea, I think testing the rules in a short session first would make it much easier to see what works before turning it into a longer campaign.
