The Expanse RPG's developers are 'humbled' by comparisons to BioWare's heyday, but don't expect it to be a straight Mass Effect clone: 'We make our story a little bit differently' (www.pcgamer.com)

It was also a tabletop RPG along the way, I think Leviathan Wakes is pretty much retelling of the campaign the writers ran with their friends.

    It's also a tabletop RPG again. Green Ronin made one, based on their Modern AGE ruleset. I believe it's explicitly based on the books and ignores show canon.

    I have not gotten to play it and now a new edition is on the way, but I read the book a couple of times. It's really neat and worth the time of you can, unlike me, actually get it to a table.

    I'd absolutely love to play it, but I don't know any Expanse fans who'd also want to run it. My own skills as a game master are sorely lacking in the "actually running a game" aspect, even after years of practice. Honestly, I bought the books mostly for design inspiration for my Space Engineers builds.
