Aria's Rise, A Mass Effect Underworld Empire Campaign

About the adventure

Gameplay: Our Campaign will take players from hired muscle to city legends as they help Aria find out who can be bought, coerced, or assassinated to begin their rise to the top. Players must overcome three challenges: 1) discovering Omega Where are there deals to be made? Who is important and what leverage can be seized? Investigation and introductions. 2) making things happen Players will infiltrate, assassinate and, lean on the right people to build their reputation. 3) Take down the Crimelord Gather your forces and to a head into Combat against the most powerful scum Omega has to offer. I am expecting the time frame to be around 50-75 weekly sessions. The story will revolve around the influence of Aria and her faction with player choices increasing or decreasing that standing. Play Style: I like to leave my worlds open with random encounters and maps to fill in. Players that will enjoy my game most will: Love to roleplay their characters Explore locations Interact with NPC's Have some background loose threads to tie into the campaign Carefully consider how, and when, they engage in combat Be in the headspace to ensure they and everyone else at the table has an enjoyable time! Rule of cool is always in affect and I am always willing to listen to your case. Rules lawyers are welcome but may not enjoy my casual style. Setting: Built in the mined-out husk of a metallic asteroid. The heavy-metal-rich core was mined until almost completely hollow, providing the initial resources used to construct Omega's buildings and facilities. Over the years, these have been expanded until they completely cover every exposed inch of its surface, making Omega a bizarre mishmash of architecture and technology. Omega has been a haven for criminals, terrorists, and malcontents for thousands of years. At times, the station has lain idle and abandoned for centuries, only to be reactivated by a new group of outlaws seeking a fresh start. Today, Omega is a major hub of narcotics, weapons, and Eezo trafficking without even a pretense of civilian government or military control. Only mercenary groups have been able to instill a limited order. There is no central government or unifying authority on Omega, and nobody can recall a time there ever was one. --For players familiar to the setting, this game takes place before the first Mass Effect game. -- Tone: The tone is open to some adjustment a session zero depending on group preference but will be on they gray to dark and gritty end of the spectrum. Few come to Omega as a first choice and most must do whatever it takes to survive. Living here is not for the faint of heart as the strong prey on the weak, friends only last until your next pay day and wrong turns can be fatal. As members of Aria's faction, PC's are free to act however they choose as long as it increases or reinforces her standing.
