OSR discord user Corgifan2 later clarified that this was due to the GM's misunderstanding of a rule and they should only have made 21 attacks
so, someone posted this in the OSR discord and i was incensed to find the mass effect d20hack i remember having written, because there's no way it could be as bad as apparently, the one that was officially released
well, i did find it
it is from 2012
it is real bad but it actually might be better than the system described above
so i am thus compelled to post it, in an effort to erase any respect and/or community goodwill i might have accrued thus far
it lives in several google docs (because that is how i did things at the time how i still do things, tbh) and it is written in the extremely tedious format of a child (i guess a 20 year old?) trying to emulate the extremely specific rules text of D&D 3.5e and also Magic the Gathering (because that is how i did things at the time. i think i have actually stopped doing this, mostly,. hopefully, thankfully)
i think the word "may" appears 33,000 times in total across t hese documents
okay enough self-deprecation ,sorry HERE'S THE GAME
it is probably runnable, it looks fairly complete for what it is
i do not recommend anyone do this, but who knows
if you have played the "official" mass effect d20 game please let me know if it's better or worse, lmao
