Been replaying mass effect lately and inevitably wondered about a TTRPG.
I think I saw a few videogame to TTRPG conversions, like one for starcraft that was a cheap cash grab when anything with starcraft on it sold.
It makes me curious, has there ever been a good TTRPG based on a videogame? I honestly can't think of one. There are usually RPGs based on popular series that may last a while, like stargate, farscape, battlestar galactica, etc. But they tend to last about as long as the series is popular.
Sometimes successful or semi successful videogames are based on TTRPGs, like vampire, D&D, cyberpunk, shadorwun, etc, but the reciprocal doesn't seem to apply.
Mass effect seems like a contender for a TTRPG, as do Deus Ex, fallout,(Never played it) and maybe something like rainbow 6. I just don't see them happening tho.
