  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

File:Mass Effect Paint Adventures.png

Mass Effect Paint Adventures is a Web Original Interactive Story created by Facepunch forum user Lankist in March 2010. It follows the humorous adventures of Commander Shepard, an ex-hobo psychopath with laser eyes and his Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, who are mostly (loosely) based on Mass Effect characters. It can be found here. It went on hiatus when Lankist was permanently banned from Facepunch for racism; an allegedly large campaign to get him back was formed, but given that the only extant copy of the work remaining is on the Wayback Machine (linked above), it does not appear that it succeeded.

Tropes used in Mass Effect Paint Adventures include:
  • Jerkass: Everyone the forum users are put in control of quickly becomes one of these, but Shepard more than anyone else, regularly pissing in fish tanks, punching orphans and killing people just because he can.
  • Rule of Funny: Pretty much every action made follows this due to the nature of the forum it runs on.
  • Rule of Cool: For the same reasons as Rule of Funny. One scene features a character powersliding through several rules to save the protagonists.
  • Bruce Campbell: Features as a hologram.
  • Post Modernism: "SAMARA advances the PLOT!"
  • Affectionate Parody: Of Mass Effect.
  • Ho Yay: A lot between Shepard and Garrus.
  • Eye Beams: Shepard has these.
  • Too Good to Last
