Mass Effect conversions for the Star Wars Saga Edition?


Other RPGs

Liberty's Edge

I've been playing with Mass Effect as a SWSE cross-over. I'm hoping not to re-invent the wheel. As such, I'm hoping someone can streamline my efforts by sharing with me their own work . . . or links to sites that have answers to my questions. Thanks.

1. Vessels. Are there any stats for the Normandy? The Mako?

2. Species. Regarding the species of Mass Effect, has someone assessed a species equivalent in the Star Wars universe, or otherwise devised stats?

3. Biotics. The way I see them - they are a "cheat" for non-Force users to use the Force. I'm trying to assess how to develop them accordingly. (Also, I am debating on whether Asari are force sensitive, or just immune to the negative effects of Biotics.)

4. Weapons and Armor. I know that Mass Effect designed them differently. I'm debating on whether to just skip over this facet, or otherwise dig in and develop, per the SWSE system, a reasonably balanced translation. Anyone beat me to it?

I hope that you can find what you seek. I loved Mass Effect and thought that it would be a good setting for a tabletop RPG.

When I was playing, I had the same thought as you did (did someone do any RPG write-ups for this?) It would be cool to see people's thoughts on how to convert the races - I was thinking D20 rather the saga - but hey, it would be cool to see that as well.

I considered doing this with Alternity, but alas so many projects yet so little time.

You may eant to post on some boards with heavier saga traffic if you need a hand.
