I've been talking and writing about this mash up for well over a year now. You take Savage Worlds East Texas University and you transport it across the galaxy into The Last Parsec. Reskin some of the paranormal to be more like super-science (a la Doctor Who), and toss in a bunch of laceraun (dinosaur) action, and you get Leviathan Academy.
In my mind this should play out as Firefly meets Community meets Jurassic Park.
I'm a fairly lazy GM, so I'm not here to show off a bunch of conversions, or additional setting rules. After setting up a one-shot that I'll be running in a few weeks, I took a look through all of my ETU and TLP stuff and realized that, just like pretty much all Savage Worlds mashups, this would be really easy to do on the fly. All you need to do is add some species options for starting player characters, and reskin the extra-curricular activities.
But we need to do something about those majors...
Rather than taking on this work myself, I turned to the Official Savage Worlds Facebook Group and asked for suggestions so that we could create a list of Majors for Leviathan University. Those cooked up by the wonderful members of that group got extra credit!
