Defamation spam ahoy!

I have a Property of the Coalition States mug. I like it a lot.

I don't think that Palladium is interested in licensing their franchises in situations where they can't vet the material before it's released. I know that if I owned the longest running franchises of all time I too would be super careful about who I let write for them and make sure that I had approv...

Walton art is amazing. I've never actually bought an art-only book but you never know, I actually might get this one.

Congrats to Palladium! Looking forward to getting my copy!

This thread is awesome.

I think it's time that the members of this desperate vocal minority smear campaign are removed from the forums.

popscythe

It lightsabers you.

popscythe

I'm going to try to sum up my take on Palladium's position for the vocal minority who have decided to make these new accounts to try to get their way on these issues that they (but not we) have been voicing so everpresently for ten years. They hear you. Pretending to be new people isn't making them ...

Random PA related question, though irrelevant to this thread: The Power Armor on page 84 of the RUE, starting off the Power Armor MOS section, is that a Samson?

Yeah. The one that looks like Boba Fett is the NG Samson.

I ask this, because I am currently working on something and I could use this feedback on an upcoming Publication. The more detailed the responses if you choose the better I can gauge some comparisons and concepts. I can also use this polls results to help my assessments so please if you peruse this...

I got Northern Gun 2 on Monday and have been enjoying it a great deal. Reading NG1 and NG2, it strikes me that the gaps in Rifts are slowly being filled in. With things like Atlantis and South America being within the first 10 world books, I understand where the myth of power creep came from. Howeve...

I guess "troll account" implies that you're a second account, I was just saying "an account created to troll these forums". I guess troll is a dirty word around here, in the land where reading and understanding the rules to a game is trolling and making 365 threads a year complai...

Actually your example is poor and not for the reasons you seem to think. Without the prequel trilogy we do not get the larger influx of new material via comic, book and video game etc. Sure there were books etc at the time but the prequel trilogy expanded that well beyond what was being done. Witho...

Lots of games alienate their long-time fans by making changes, but those changes are designed to bring in a new demographic of player, which ultimately makes the game line thrive The prequel trilogy made more money than the original trilogy. Yeah, I went there. Not everything that changes the canon...

For all the times that I've been warned and moderated for standing up for Palladium, you'd think that someone would have warned or moderate this super obvious troll account Nightforce by now.

Edit: Nightfactory, Nightforce, a rose by any other name.

Warning: User warned for personal attack. -NMI

Boom gun rounds are super common on the black market and inexpensive. 200 credits each.

Yes, BG ammo is unique ammo (as in, not the same as standard railgun ammo).

Edit: Welcome to Rifts, man. Have fun!

I love NG1. Congrats on another great publication Palladium. I gotta say if you've ever felt like giant robots, mecha, whatever you call them, needed to be fleshed out in Rifts this is totally your book. All of the new robots feel powerful and threatening without being unbalanced, instead of fe...

"Rules for using High-Tech Weapons" I don't think it is in CB1R&U, which was published after Ultimate Edition, of course. It goes into the -10 dodge rule and etc, but there is nothing as you've described unless I missed it. I do believe that PB went out of their way to clarify and sim...

Let's run a game where we're PPE pickpockets, who work a mind crimes ring to fill up a big TW PPE reservoir that is sorta like the ghost holding tank machine in the Ghostbuster's basement. Then once it's topped off we ship it to las vegas and pour it into guitar-shaped swimming pool of some ancient ...

The other is no attention to new body armor. I hear a bunch of new body armor and power armor is coming in NG 2 m Me either! I was pretty excited about how NG-1 opened my mind to the idea of full-on lances of combat robots on the 109 PA battlefield, I can't wait to see what the new body armor and p...

Little beats the original NG particle beam rifle in RMB, 1d4x70 per full-mag burst for only 2 melee attacks per CB1 (originally it could even out-do the GB's boomgun, prior to burst multiplier changes). Half the time you can take out a Glitter Boy's boom gun with it. 3/4 the time you can take out t...

I'm thinking Cover Art. Glossy, full color. It could work.

Have you guys seen this pic? (http://andreewallin.deviantart.com/art/ ... -355772151) It's amazing, totally Rifts-like material. This guy Andree Wallin (http://andreewallin.deviantart.com/) should absolutely do art for Rifts if he and PB can come to an agreement. So good!

It probably would be similar to our conjecture. I'm pretty sure they have the same level of Physics know how most folks have in this thread..or leass since we all pick up some sort know how on energy weapons, as in 'what' PB's do and not the "how" PB's do it. In fact if you asked they pro...

It is said that people get crazy in Madhaven. Even in the book there is a flavor text with a coalition soldier totally gone. But then, in the rules text (pg. 15) there are (only) indications about when PC start to see hallucinations and feel uncomfortable, but without any clue of ho...

Psi-Stalkers aren't very impressive on their own but keep in mind that they can only exist by killing people just like you on a regular basis - they have killed far more of your kind than you have of theirs. They are very familiar with your capabilities and if they are out-matched, they will know i...

If it says per level of experience I have always done it starting at level one. Some say with each additional level of experience or something like that usually means don't include level 1.

Hey, did you know that there's a Rifts wiki? m I saw a post about it on Reddit. If you Rifts guys who know everything about everything have some time to kill, go add some articles!

Hey guys! I wondered if we could get some designer input on the three NG Particle Beam Rifles that are featured in NG-1. I love this book, by the way so let me start by saying thanks!

I'd say that the ones most worth owning are the ones you like and the ones least worth owning are the ones you don't.

I'm lucky, I like them all so I have the most fun.

I will have to check for the flame thrower ammo thing when I get my copy. I know in the prototype all the vehicle mounted flame throwers had specific ammo amounts listed. I think I was mistaken. At the time I thought I noticed it, I thought "that has to be a typo, payload essentially unlimited...

I finally wrote mine up, it's in the 2nd post. This idea is hilarious, I had a great deal of fun writing mine.

popscythe

I coulda swore while I was reading that I spotted a typo on one of the flamethrowers on one of the bots where it said "payload effectively unlimited" instead of "approx 48 blasts" like it should have. Couldn't find it again with a cursory search, but I'll look into it.

I don't have the revised Vamp Kingdoms book, did it have any new info on the merc outpost at Tampico? IIRC they were unconnected to Reid's Rangers.

How about instead of arguing about the rules, we decide to go with whatever sounds the most fun and start making characters?
