And don't forget that this isn't going to be as easy as grabbing a box of this, two boxes of these, and a box of that. From what I recall, while the backers should be getting their stuff before the retail channels, it was also said that the backers were just going to be getting the parts in bags - n...

In my opinion, you need only look at the profit of the Kickstarter to see that hardly anyone has pulled out. Palladium and/or Ninja Division have posted the costs associated with this project so that can be compared to the amount taken in? Cool, link? But I was under the impression that Palladium w...

Just noticed this bit: Can you bring your developments projects from Disney to Paramount? If [Disney] passes. There are a number Disney wants to release and we'll continue with those - 'National Treasure' and 'Pirates,' of course. I guess now the question is, "Who actually has optioned the Rift...

There's a KickStarter for Australian Animals Fantasy Football Team Miniatures that could be damn near perfect for some characters from MDU. A little pricey per-mini, but they do seem to be of a pretty good quality.

Steve Dubya

I got to wondering if Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilms (and by extension all the rights to both existing and future Star Wars es) is going to help or hurt the chances of a Rifts movie getting made. On one hand, Lord knows that Disney is no slouch at re-releasing movies ad infinitum , so I'm sure t...

Creating a deep character is the goal of just about any gamer. While Palladium’s Megaversal system provides the tools to make a well-rounded character, it sometimes leaves a little to be desired on the character sheet. Facets are a new addition to the ruleset that help to bring the important details...

And buying stuff online? Ok if I go looking for palladium books I bet I can find some pretty good deals to so your online or discounted price for D&D books becomes null. Wrong again. I just did a search on Amazon for "Palladium Fantasy." You know how many of them you can get new for l...

Steve Dubya

It's great that you have friends who can giv eyou discounts or buy the stuff online, but some of us are just tired of buying a new edition just after buying a new edition. Wait... Who's forcing you to buy a new edition? Seriously, there is enough material from any of the previous editions of D&...

After discussing what I'm aiming for with the GM, I'm going with Changeling Illusionist (from Old Ones).

Thanks for the assistance!

Oh, one other thing - what book is the "Seduction" Skill out of?

Long story short, I have an opportunity to participate in a PFRPG PbP and I'm trying to figure out if there's an OCC that might exist...somewhere that might better fit my character concept than what I'm finding in the core.

Steve Dubya

Since I imagine that Dead Reign will lend itself to more of a one-shot (or at least very short) campaign, are the abbreviated chargen rules from the new Robotech going to be used to speed up character creation? Seems like that could come in quite handy for something like this, particularly for Cons ...

I would think that significantly shorter fiction would make more sense - maybe, MAYBE two issues tops to finish a story.

Wasn't TheRifter.com supposed to be something along the lines that Rifter 0 is?

Don't have that one, so no I haven't.

Can you sum it up real quick? I'm not looking for detail, just a generic "this is what the class gets."

Steve Dubya

I'm not looking for a conversion, but is there a PF class that is roughly similar to the Bard from D&D? I was going over some material that Mike Taylor came up with for Systems Failure , and it seems to me that it could work quite well if tweaked for PF. Is there something published that does ro...

Steve Dubya

How well is it anticipated that Dead Reign will be compatible with BtS2? Will there be mention of the ISP multipliers and such? Will Dead Reign have its "own" (if that term could be applied) magic system that might be ported over?

Steve Dubya

That's...odd.

Would be interesting, especially seeing that Robotech - as available directly from Palladium - can only be sold in the US and Canada.

Steve Dubya

It depends on the angle being used, really. I think that there isn't enough of the "parallel dimension" aspect of Rifts that is hinted at but never really fully embraced that you could go crazy with - both in terms of stories, novels or "one-shot" setting books (say, the Rifts Ea...

I think it's ironic because I don't really see a huge draw for Prince of Persia, and yet that movie got greenlit faster. I realize it probably has a vocal group of fans on some other forum, but it just doesn't do anything for me (the game wasn't really my cup of tea.) I don't think that it has anyt...

Has there ever been a point-buy character creation article for any of the various games (excepting the somewhat point-buy Bio-E system) that has shown up in the Rifter?

Steve Dubya

And now it's posted.

Steve Dubya

Realize that Palladium doesn't do many official half-breeds (the only ones mentioned are human off-shoots... human-ogre, human-Amazon, human-Sea Titan are the only ones that come to mind... even human-psi-stalker crossbreeds are, to my recollection, never officially endorsed). Don't forget True Atl...

Steve Dubya

There's a bunch of free adventures here - you'd have to do a marginal amount of for-yourself conversion, but they're all free - can't beat that.

Mr. Deific NMI wrote:Should we keep this to strictly HU2 titles?

That might not be a bad idea (inasmuch that there are a lot of "high attributed" aliens/D-bees and such), but I'm not overly opposed to using a particular race/RCC for demonstrational purposes.

Steve Dubya

I figure that this is probably the forum where this is likeliest to happen, owing to all the powers and such... In any event, I'm curious what the upper limit is for a "legal" (more on that in a minute) starting character's attributes. Assuming you had any of the books to play with, how wo...

Steve Dubya

You could take a totally different route and go with the idea that "Osama" is merely the creation (as in: he doesn't really exist outside of the media exposure he has had) of some totally alien being who wishes to engage humanity in warfare to weaken us for a planned alien invasion.

Ice is not water. Now, if we want to get into the "game metaphysics" of said substances, that's a different story; but from a chemical standpoint, H20 is H20, regardless of form. Yeah, guess which standpoint we're using in this GAMING forum, in a discussion about supernatural creatures an...

I was reading a thread in the AtB forum about how there was going to be an article in the upcoming Rifter and thought to myself, "Self, there is no way you are going to pay $11 for perhaps 10 pages of material that you might want to use." Then it hit me - there are a lot of articles like t...

Steve Dubya

Meh. I've lost interest in all things Palladium, and I doubt this supposed new book will ever see publication, because there's still money to be milked out of more Rifts crap. I'm not arguing the use of the "lol" here, but is that a sarcastic or non-sarcastic "lol"?

Steve Dubya

As for significantly more common armor, I'd vote Gladiator from the main book (at least, it was in the RMB - I assume it is still in the RUE). That's pretty good coverage/mobility/price that would be hard to argue isn't widely available.

Steve Dubya

As the cover says, if you can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality, don't play. Wouldn't someone who couldn't tell the difference between fantasy and reality not realize that they couldn't - thus making that disclaimer more to protect the company rather than dissuade the delusional?

Edit: Oh yeah, and for those who argue that an attack is no longer magical after the magic has formed the effect, the effect is born from magic, hence it has the same significance as the magic that made it.
