For those looking to translate the Maelstrom to the MMO, please be aware that the system has been greaty simplified to resist the stress upon which a larp subjects both the body and the mind (in case you have not played one).

For the number crunchers, a good rule of thumb is to multiply everything by four. The "effects" translate into a state based game engine very well. Social skills– well wait and see. But they actually will function in game quests.
