I think this is lost on a lot people:

Initially the RMB had towns days apart. Vehicles were sparse. Travel was rare, and MDC was even more so. Could it be possible that Savage Rifts, is going back to the roots of Rifts?

Tiree

The only big kickstarter I watched was the Robotech one. Where it was hand over fist money, to hit major stretch goals. These stretch goals feel tame to me, but then again, I am not sure how much is going to be in that "Triax Tech Package". So I am hopefully optimistic that it will be a 4-...

They are close to hit the Triax Weapons Cache as of this morning, with only (318 dollars left to hit it). It definitely is losing some steam, and I do wonder if it will just stall.

Tiree

Isn't it time for NMI to do a Post count purge...

Tiree

I always pronounced it as Shih Town, as if you were to say Chicago, without the cago and add town.

Some folks hear the T in the first half, and it's missing in the latter, or it's in both. But in grade school we thought it was hilarious, and well it's stuck

Tiree

but, since you asked for a palladium adventure, ask and ye shall receive: m just go right on ahead and track that thing down. i don't promise you won't regret it though I have Lancer's Rockers...I bought it when it first came out. It's brilliant!! I find the Black Market Sourcebook to be arguably o...

I am going to say No, depending on how fragile you think the Valkyrie is. Basically the front of the VF would be facing down, as the legs wouldn't move. Instead the torso would have to tilt, flipping the nose down and the tail upward. Either breaking the nose cone, damaging it, or leaving a huge hol...

Tiree

while you may not feel like rifts (and the palladium system in general) has any rules problems (and i'm going to suggest that you largely don't think so because you've gotten so used to your own houserules that you don't even think of them as houserules any more), the great majority of the RPG comm...

Will it have a giant space cannon to light the sky?

Tiree

I went to a local con this weekend (Redford Michigan) and there were tons of Savage Worlds games (and Pathfinder, heck even a West End Dr. Who game) going on, sadly not a peep from Palladium...maybe the new system can revive and rejuvenate the bloated, sagging and forgotten Rifts, from relative obs...

Pinnacle Entertainment Group has announced that they'll be doing their Kickstarter for the Savage World version of Rifts. RIFTS® for Savage Worlds Kickstarter Starts April 26!

The Palladium Megaverse is one big setting. Every line exists in the same setting. Source? I thought the Magaversal system was for the most part universal so all game lines are compatible but each setting is its own setting. While the rules may be similar they are no more the same setting than Grey...

The only way I would use this skill, is if I built my own floating satellite to relay transmissions from the field to base.

Tiree

yeah, it's been nearly 6 years. Has anyone really used it?

As the OSM specs have it, Mars Base's AFC-01 Legioss armo-fighter is a six-engine aircraft. It has two main engines, which use the intake fans on the front of the aircraft and power both the main nozzles in the mecha's feet and the VTOL lift nozzles in the mecha's underside. It also has four sub-en...

Isn't it ludicrous?!?! I know, right? The way the writers at Palladium Books handle the Robotech property, you could almost come away with this crazy idea that the Robotech animated series depicted three different wars that were fought in three different decades by three completely different milita...

If you are going to do a 'Revised Rule Book'. I would recommend having a centralized character creation for all era's. Have one or two mecha from each era in the revised rule book. Then make all the era books with the additional material. I remember suggesting this to Palladium about 8 years ago......

Is there anything new in the works for the Robotech RPG.....and I don't mean Robotech Tactics? Yes, there are... it's an unnamed book yet, but they are working hard on it. I expect it to get printed sometime next quarter*... *yes this is a farce, and a play on Palladium's ability to nail down dates...

Have the Mechanoids be a failed version of The Robotech Master's guardians. Basically the precursor to the Zentraedi. They became insane, and the Robotech Masters had to put them down. The Zentraedi did this with great glee, and earned their place as the military arm of the Robotech Masters. But the...

Yeah, Dundracon was held that same weekend in the Bay Area, I did not see on PB event in the catalog (both RTT and RPG) The Bay Area used to have a very active MA demo team who ran PB RPG events for years.

I have the backup generator used to make SLMH in ASC mecha. It just takes a bit of time, but it can be done. I also have all SLMH mecha utilize SLMH Fuel canisters that somehow look a lot like Protoculture Cells...

Tiree

I would state that the Fusion Generators are already being utilized on the Alpha/Beta and therefore there would be no boost. They may not be running at 100% but are utilized in conjunction with the Protoculture. As for the Condor/Combat/Bioroid Interceptor. the answer to that is questionable, but I ...

With how much ammunition the cast of New Generation goes through, I am not sure that these missile systems aren't much more complicated than making your own Shotgun Shell.

There are several instances where skills can go above 100. There are skills that give you bonuses to tackle penalties. With that, I go with any skill can go over 100, but it effectively has a 98% chance of success no matter what. Anything over 98% is used to tackle penalties. So if you had 130% in a...

Are we sure that the Super Shadow Fighter does not have space for the VR-057. We are assuming that the new fighter would be identical to the old.

Tiree

Seto - that is a decision you would like to make. But not necessarily needed within the realm of Palladium. As I stated, if the game is internally consistent in each era, and internally consistent within all three era's. I could have Body Armor that has 10,000 MDC, and a weapon that can destroy said...

Just on a lark, I'd like to see the inclusion of some setting info and conversion stats for using the books to play games based on the original three shows.

Well, there is the reserve fleet that is in the Delta. I'm sure it would expand over the years between now and the coming of the Rifts. m Over the past few decades this reserve fleet has been shrinking. In fact because of how the ships were placed in the bay, they are considered Hazardous. So the s...

I believe the stuff that references ARCHIE III does as well. He's utilizing some satellites up in orbit for communication. But I can't remember if that is Canon or Rifter material as well.

You seem to be toggling back between the 105 and 120mm for the main gun. If you intend for it to be a 120mm, then that should have a different model designation from the standard 105mm armed ASC tank. The change in power plant should also mean a different designation. However, this has gotten me th...

Then there's a second side. Side 'B" that seems to think that all you need is two wires and ANY NUCLEAR REACTOR ON THE PLANET. Attach wires to the nuclear reactor. Touch them to an eclip and you're good to go. Part of the problem is that side A oversimplifies side B's position and then mocks t...

I'm generally not impressed with the work that has happened either on the writing or editing of these books. What Palladium game or book did impress you? Write about that one.

Answer is - No. I don't buy Rifters, as it is Fan Wank IMO If you dont buy them, how did you come up with that delicately put opinion?

I just bought Megaverse in Flames, and was disappointed that the PDF didn't come with a Table of Contents or Hyperlinks embedded into it.

just for clarity, savage worlds rifts is being done by the savage worlds team, not the rifts team. that doesn't mean there won't be delays (anything can be delayed), but it does mean that there's no inherent reason to expect the kinds of delays we often see with PB products. Not to mention, they ar...
