Why do people have such a hard on for dogs in this game? They suck! zombies in this game can kill people in 1 punch and 2 or 3 can disable a car in a melee round. The only way to play is a Rifle at decent range, aim for the throat, not the head - never aim at the head in this game and hope you roll ...

MaxxSterling

Right, what they said... So long as they got the robot version that is supposed to be built in, then it should not be an issue, but just the normal wearable one will still only have the standard MDC, not double like the robot model.

MaxxSterling

Thanks for all the input guys, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one struggling with these rules and what to do allow my characters to survive more than 2 zombies at a time.

MaxxSterling

Sorry Braden... This book is USELESS. I was looking for drawn-out ship creation stuff, and it isn't there. Will someone please make a book with pieces, parts and prices and put it in writing and sell it to me! I would like a 200 page book on ship and station creation, that is not free-form BS, but a...

MaxxSterling

Yeah, it's ruff. I'm been struggling along with the rolls. But, whatever. Once my campaign is over, this is likely a game I'll never play again, it'll be thrown into my WOW rpg and AD&D book pile, never to be opened again. And then I'll get back to what we all want to play anyhow, RIFTS!!!! Yay!...

MaxxSterling

I just started playing GURPS instead. Issue solved. But for your issue, um, don't use Dead Reign with Rifts. Keep it as two seperate games. When you start trying to blur the lines, you lose the definition. -Man that was deep.

MaxxSterling

I dunno guys, my girlfriend says 30 miles is pretty small... But I keep telling her it's not the size the matters. So, this may be a debate that is never settled.

MaxxSterling

I'd say search for it... But seriously, why take anything away. Cosmo Knights are supposed to be super B.A. mofos. Ok, so one can fly through a sun and then cast pyrokinesis too, who cares! If you're playing a CK, you're probably playing a high threat campaign anyhow. Just throw Dominators at him, p...

MaxxSterling

Thanks for posting! How about this... Small town trying to hold out against some sadistic raiders who are trying to kill them, not to mention all the zombies... Heroes arrive on the scene, to see dozens of zombies wandering the streets while the townsfolk are barricaded in doors and the raiders are ...

MaxxSterling

I finally figured out how to play this game. Shotgun, point-blank, neck. works almost everytime... since shooting them in the head is pointless. But I agree that a chainsaw and point-blank would work too. The only problem is the noise, so have on some good running shoes.

MaxxSterling

I'm reading the main book. I've actually just been using the rules for the Scrounger OCC regarding ups, but that sucks. I should have something listed in the Survivor OCC. -And that's cool that certain survivors get additional ups and others don't. Because it makes sense the Doctor and lawyer would ...

MaxxSterling

Am I missing something, or does the Survivor OCC not get additional skills as they progress? I have 2 lv. 4 Survivors in my game and no where that we see, does it say they get any additional skils. Is that right?

MaxxSterling

Well if it says that on pg.70, then get your bottle of White Out and fix it... They should keep attacking until the PPE is released, or it doesn't make any sense.

MaxxSterling

I'd say, since an SDC space shuttle can do it, so long as your ship is MDC, re-entry should be a non-issue, Forcefield or not...

MaxxSterling

I am seriously hyped about this book... But, George Lucas is going to Sodomize Palladium Books if that wannabe "Death Star" picture goes to print. But I think it's awesome!!! Just my two cents. But seriously, I feel bad that in the Second Era no one was able to exploit the small thermal ex...

MaxxSterling

WOW!!! 15 ******* years laters and now I'll finally know how much a Cruise Missile Launcher costs, and not have to fly/fight the same 8 ships over and over and over and over... Why the hell didn't this book come out years ago? That's my question. And for those of you who will say, "Dude you can...

MaxxSterling

I just take them as being zombies except they can control the hunger and don't decay. So I'd say they live forever.

MaxxSterling

Once again, I'd like to "Resurrect" this thread. I have no input right now, but the randoms in the book blow. If you run off those tables often, you'd have a party of 15 dogs, 30 children and an unconscious teen with a duffelbag full of newborns... FAIL.

MaxxSterling

Thanks for the input. I really would have liked to have seen more out of these books...

MaxxSterling

GB? Come on... Get either Silverhawk Armor and their ridiculous gun, or a suit of Avenger Armor. Then you're talkin...

MaxxSterling

Hey, I'm finding this game to be awefully deadly for my characters because the zombies are superhuman... I've noticed that the weapon rate of fire rules differ in this game, from my Rifts main book. Anyhow, my question involves shooting. In one action, not one melee, how many rounds can be fired fro...

MaxxSterling

And I'm with Trooper Jim on this... That's probably why only like 20 people post on this board... we're the only ones that bought it!!! -You could totally just use Rifter #40, your Rifts Main Book and your Imagination to make a rival to these two books.

MaxxSterling

I've found keeping my players completely in the dark to be a great move... They all make broad assumptions based on movies on how things work with Zombies and it almost always backfires. Last night, one of them almost shat themselves when they saw a Zombie "peek" around the side of an over...

MaxxSterling

So long as the city or location of the "switch" has power, individual sites could be brought back online, even if they were in an area with no power. As far as the generators, they are gas. Good news is though, if the switch is still up and running, you could turn on sites probably within ...

MaxxSterling

Hey, just thought I'd throw this out there... I work for a Major Cell company and I can tell you that most of our cell sites have battery back-ups and also generators stationed at them. So, if you wanted to steal a generator, that's a good place to hit. OR... If you were trying to establish short-ra...

MaxxSterling

Oh heck, mine is mobile, but terrible. They are heading about 800 miles From Alabama to Pennsylvania. I have the major roadways blocked, so it's through hee-haw country the whole way, already had them hit an impass outside of Nashville, TN and now they're walking... I don't know who's plan that was,...

MaxxSterling

My only comment to this is, Geo Metro or Honda Civic. You could totally drive straight into the store, drive up and down every isle, snatch and grab style, then just drive right out again.

MaxxSterling

They don't attack them because whoever wrote this section of the book was a fool. No offense, but if I wanted to play RIFTS with zombies and demons and magic... I'd play rifts!!! I agree with the guy above that said to keep this crap out of the game and keep it survival horror.

MaxxSterling

No offense to all the people and at the risk of sounding racists... I'd much rather be in the U.S. if per chance this ever went down. Japan... Come on. I'd rather have my 12 gauge and my glock, then throwing handfuls of rice at zombies. Same goes for all other countries without the right to bear arm...

MaxxSterling

For anyone saying intelligence is the best weapon... When we are trapped in hallway dead end with 8 to 10 zeds coming at us, you can throw some riddles at them, while I riddle them with bullets. Seriously though why the heck would you ever go hand to hand unless there was no choice? Guns for the win!

MaxxSterling

you can see my other post if u want, but I started my game on the day before Zday and I just made Zday the actual date we started gaming it. so, cell phones and stuff still worked for a bit, but things got bad fast. Like someone else said, it was more fast paced as half my party started to work at 5...

MaxxSterling

Let me say that in my game I immediately slashed out any supernatural anything that could possibly interfere. Threw away Rifter 40 and began. It is me and my roommates that play so there are a couple of us. Instead of rolling stats and taking skills I had us all assign our characters what we ourselv...

MaxxSterling

I'm liking the ideas. I think I might be lazy though and just fill it with a bunch of Oborus-Slitherers... Then probably open a rift and have them physically thrown threw it and into a starcraftian type dimension... I mean after all the Oborus look just like the Zerg...

MaxxSterling

Ok, so I'm just outside Silvereno, abandoned mine shaft, number 8 woodburned into a plank... It's boarded up. What's inside? Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm looking for ideas/suggestions of what to throw in there. I am running a multi-dimensional/galactic long-running campaign (I use every b...

MaxxSterling

Why is the Game Master Guide so bad? I mean seriously everything in the book practically is different then the other books. It looks like it was written by someone who never opened the other books... I can't believe I even bought it. Anyone else feel this way. And it hurts me to say this, I recently...

MaxxSterling

No, never use the Game Master Guide! Just run it as is or not at all.

MaxxSterling

Why bother, assuming we were lucky enough to have a movie made... You know they'd screw it all up and cast Dane Cook as a Coalition Grunt with Will Farrell as the dog boy and they'd have some screwball adventure getting sucked around like a bad episode of sliders and at the end, through all the terr...

MaxxSterling

Too much thought... I have a character, say 400-500mdc natural... he curls in a ball, I roll 3 "1s" on a nuke, he takes 300, maybe need to pick up a few bionics, goes back to work in a week or two. If I'm playing sdc guys for some reason, he's vaporized. End of story - friends don't let fr...

MaxxSterling

What the heck would even be the purpose of the sword if it did not phase through armor and do damage directly to the person inside, just like the beamers...

MaxxSterling

Any chance you can host it somewhere and post a link? If not, I'd love to see it, so please send it to me!!! The last one I made about 8 years ago was like 30-35 pages and was a chore to keep straight.

MaxxSterling

I've always incorporated it all somehow. But I always find the lack of ship related material and construction to be a huge let down.

MaxxSterling

Hey, has anyone ever made like a random treasure list or pecentile list for this game? I always hate trying to randomly determine treasure. If you have, please post it, or link it. Or let me know if you can send it to me. I'd appreciate it.

MaxxSterling

Nah, this quest sucked. characters sleeped omicron, steamclouded him to death, completely dismissed the skeletons without a scratch, took over the boat, now they fly from destination to destination... Oh, and also went through and played with the portal thingy, I let all kinds of nasties from RIFTS ...

MaxxSterling

I run power games. I let my characters wake up the old ones and then try to re-box them up. Why not... When you hit level 15 and then multi to godlings, might as well cause some trouble... And rune weapons are a dime a dozen in my campaigns, they aren't all that great... 4d6 on a rune dagger? psh, a...

MaxxSterling

Dammit... I figured that's what happened, and that sucks!

MaxxSterling

OK, Baalgor wastelands tells me to see further in the book, under adventures, for info on the golden city of baalgor, however there is no such adventure in the book... Am I missing something, or does the book lie to me... Please help. And if so, where can I find this adventure?

MaxxSterling

Drinks whole soul. Character dies forever. Rune swords are indestructible. I would however allow a Major God to possibly assist, assuming they have that kind of pull... I once bargained with a Rune Weapon to show me where a great treasure was, all I had to do was destroy a village full of women and ...

MaxxSterling

Ended up going with a ton of 100lb. gold bars, custom made. Characters then transported to a bank. And it's not a retirement fund, some characters are driven by more than greed to adventure.

MaxxSterling

Ran into a dilemma, I haven't hit before. Character ended up selling a rune weapon for 25 million gold. How does the character carrying that kind of wealth. Can't do it in coins, gold bars, and a few hundred 500 carat superior diamonds doesn't seem realistic. What else is an easy way to carry that k...
