IT’S RPG MONTH! We’re releasing episodes themed around tabletop roleplaying, hosting an RPG podcast panel at MegaCon, and now that Call of Cthulhu is recorded, holding a NEW RPG $upport drive where YOU choose the next system we play. Find out how to get involved here: http://nerdyshow.com/support-the-show-rpg/

There’s lots of Mass Effect fans amongst the Nerdy Show crew and fans, so it’s only right that we’d make a bid to roleplay in that universe! The system is fan-made, so there might be challenges, but it’ll be worth it! For more info on the system, go here: http://stuffershack.com/special-projects/mass-effect-tabletop/

Lots of Nerdy Show hosts want in on this. They’ve already been fighting over who gets to be on. So it should be no surprise that Colin from D&D and Nerdy Show and Adam from Ghostbusters: Resurrection both have pitches for the Mass Effect characters they’d play if the system wins.

Colin wants to play as Halen Voss a Volus Sharpshooter operating in the Turian military and Adam wants to play as Benjamin Sanders an N7 Slayer Vanguard – a hotheaded soldier bent on revenge, with a deep hatred of synthetics. You can read their character’s full bios here: http://nerdyshow.com/2013/09/rpg-1-shot-character-pitches-mass-effect/

If you want us to Mass Effect it up – this is your place to stage the battle!

Hey dudes! It’s Adam from Ghostbusters. I’m here to pitch the idea for the Mass Effect RPG Drive. I’ve already got a complete story and ending planned out that would be a ton of fun. I’ve been really wanting to get this off the ground for a very long time now and I feel this would be a crazy, scary, exciting and engaging podcast we could run with. Please send Ben Sanders a vote so we can get this going. Only you can help stop the Reapers!

This topic has been active for 18 hours already. Why haven’t the monthly contributions been met already by Mass Effect donations alone?

We must hold the line against oncoming waves of other RPG supporters!

I’ve heard (disclaimer: I have heard nothing) the RPG could end with an orange option (not red/blue/green) where Shepard catches the Reapers riding a moped and they just leave due to shear embarrassment.

In the most recent Nerdy Show episode, @Jon committed to delving into Mass Effect sciences to make a crazy scientist character. Well, HE TOTALLY DID:

So we’ve got a rage filled alliance soldier with crazy biotics, a volus sharpshooter, and a mad scientist. SEEIOUSLY WHAT MORE COULD ANYONE WANT!?

@Jon

A man with robot hands.

Hey, robot hands could easily happen in Mass Effect. Better yet, depending on when the story was supposed to take place the hands could be filled with geth instances! There you go, intelligent robot hands with minds of their own.

That may be possible, but are those intelligent hands a work of creationism or technological evolution?
Only a Christian Science officer can explain all the mysteries of the pilot’s robot hands.
The robot hands you speak of might as well be some heathen voodoo/hoodoo or something.

Ben Sanders would definitely be keeping an eye on the robot hands man.

I really want Jon’s character and my character to team up. An insanely brilliant madman, and a rage fueled biotic bomb. Should be fun.
