I liked it overall. However... ...No way do independent field operatives report directly to the Emperor. No way Karl Prosek has time to talk to let alone have hours worth of briefings with these guys. IMO, the operatives would report to someone, who would report to someone, who would report to someo...

My buddy made a campaign called "The Coalition in California" where he had a group of CS Soldiers exploring the west coast. He based alot of it off of Fallout 1 and 2.

Hystrix

I've been in that situation a couple times. Once it boiled down to: The GM didn't know me, didn't really want to take on another player, but our mutual friend who had invited me pressured him into it. So he basically made the game suck for me until I left. There were plenty of other groups so I did...

Hystrix

OK. I think my point was lost. It doesn't matter if a general forgets something. Its that fact that EACH general would have dozens of people constantly reminding them of all of these details. Also, you don't get to the level of general because you can't remember things people are telling you on a da...

There was a lot of bad writing. I didn't hate the SoT books, but they could have been better. One thing that still bugs me and I think is indicative of how badly portrayed BOTH sides armies were. There is a line from SoT6 bottom of page 12 top of page 13 where it states that "The Coalition Gene...

This is more of a game ethics question then a GM inquiry. I wasn’t sure what forum on which to post this. So I’ve been playing about five sessions of a game as a Necromancer. I don’t think it’s a secret the Necromancers aren’t exactly tanks. So I’m having a few issues with the GM. I guess my issue ...

Hystrix

Okay two things I see as very wrong here 1) Both you and the G.M. need to agree on the backstory for the character. If you both can not reach a point where you agree, you really shouldn't be sitting down at a table to game together. 2) You are staying in a game where you are sure the G.M. is verbal...

Hystrix

Sounds like the disagreement with the G.M. over your character's background is a problem for both of you, but maybe not the only problem. The phrase "I'm not the one in the wrong" is a RED FLAG. If you doubt the G.M.'s intentions, consider that they still allow you to bring your (I'll use...

Hystrix

First thought : - Continue talking to the G.M., but do it outside of playtime. No player or G.M. wants to hold up a session. - Secondly, if you enjoy the group, but the relationship with the G.M. does not improve, switch characters. As far as your direct points: 1) Palladium has a strict initiative...

Hystrix

My advice is to talk with the GM. It could be a simple as he doesn't know how to GM for that OCC. I flat out do not allow Necromancers because they don't fit the games I like to run. This has turned off a few players over the years but what I'm afraid of is causing the kind of problem you are posti...

Hystrix

You might consider showing the GM this thread in hopes they comment. People only act differently in front of an audience for so long, and if there's toxic behavior then having a record of it can be useful, if for nothing else than to warn off other potential players. I'm strongly opposed to GMs tha...

We already have that...a little video game called Fallout. -STS I don't think that works as far as official material goes for this game. Might be some trademark problems or the like.

according to Dimension Book 11: Dyval page 63 it states that there are 6,000 Nexus Deevils in the entire Megaverse. Actually it reads: Nexus Deevils are as rare as they are beautiful and alluring. It is believed that fewer than 6,000 are found throughout the many levels of Dyval . Scholars suggest ...

Hystrix

The Beast wrote:It's someone not paying attention to what was previously written, and just throwing in whatever number they feel like.

Probably. But the rest of the numbers are realistic for the other sub races of Deevils. I don’t know. I’m kind of a numbers guy and this one really through me off.

Hystrix

Ok so on Megaverse in Flames page 158 it describes the Flaming Skull Army of Overlord Necroskull. In the layout of the army it stats that there are 5,000 Nexus Deevils in that army alone. Now according to Dimension Book 11: Dyval page 63 it states that there are 6,000 Nexus Deevils in the entire Meg...

It seems everyone is under the impression that it will be one big open field battle ("Let's get 'em, boys!"). I don't think that anybody has that impression. The bugs are formidable, they have strong tactics on their own, they have decent weaponry (some with with excellent range), they ca...

Hystrix

it has to be all used at once, but you've misunderstood the construction time. it takes 33.8 days to construct the device that creates the golems. it takes a few seconds to create the "golem", at least as currently presented (essentially, it's casting the spells, and TW devices do that in...

Hystrix

I like it! It's like a poor man's Golem. However, is it 30 hours from the moment of activation? Or can it be activated and deactivated to extend the usage (i.e. 4, 7 1/2 hour work days)? Also, isn't 33.8 days construction time is a little rough to create something that will only last for 30 hours? Y...

I was talking about the terrain. The hive queen rooms are inhabited by the queen/young queens, and the biggest strongest and physically most dangerous defenders the hive possesses plus the usual boat ton of workers/nannies/nippers/diggers all in a room that is specifically designed and constructed ...

Hystrix

The problem with that analogy is the spartans held the defensive location to wield the smaller force vs the large one. In this case they would be the attackers vs a presumably heavily defended hive queen in a room specifically constructed of MDC materials for the defense and protection of the queen...

I calculated the number of bugs at about 1.2 billion total. I mentioned the number to Kevin once, and he said "That sounds about right." Granted, it was an off-hand, informal comment, but I take it to mean that I was in the ballpark. I'd love to see your figures. I'm going off of WB 23. I...

Well, keep in mind. The Xits don't have magic. Most Demons/Devils regenerate at an amazing rate, not including magical healing, magical force fields, etc. Most Demons are easily capabile of taking on a xit in 3-4:1 numbers for a minor demon and some of the greater demons, not even lords, but regula...

It will be ironic that one of the forces best poised to help them would be lazlo. Or the Psi-Stalkers native to the region. Most Psi-Stalkers wouldn't work with Demons or Deevils, but some might be desperate enough (or might get tortchered into releasing info). My point is, that I don't think Psi-S...

It looks like the cover art for a new book. Awesome.

However, per Aftermath, the CS lost nearly 75% of the Navy. Correction, they lost 75% of the first fleet during their "war" with FQ, which iirc does no include the three aircraft carriers or any of the nuclear subs. The first fleet was stationed in the St Lawrence and in FQ essentially. A...

Hystrix

It's been a few years since I've cracked open the book, but if memory serves, the CS has a blue water navy with aircraft carriers and subs, I think they have a naval base somewhere in the gulf. Those aircraft carriers don't just park in port they go out and patrol, and even if they didn't 1000miles...

The biggest issue I have with a million more Soldiers is that it would take years to train them. To train a million troops at once you would need hundreds of thousands of training and support troops. Not to mention some troops take longer to train. For example, IRL it takes a year to train most med...

Well in theory wouldn't it take a samus patrol a very short time to just buzz the island? I mean I'm not pulling out a map but a Super Sam can crank it up to 500mph. A Talon can kick along at MACH 1.5. I mean even if it's just a fly over it's going to be really really REALLY Hard to miss 70,000 to ...

If Cubans can make the crossing in what could charitably called fruit boxes, then the CS Naval bases down there should be able to pick up literal MILLIONS of supernatural things that close.

Yeah, but I don't think the CS knows they are there.

Palladium Physics though require things to fly at mach 5 to fly into orbit (its in MiO....) ergo....no orbital harpies.... Palladium authors have long misunderstood the concept of escape velocity.

This Harpy thing needs to stop now. It states that they can fly while in space. Breaking the Earths gravity (going a sonic 60 mph) is another thing entirly. So, no. The Harpy isn't 280 miles up in the sky droping things on Chi-Town (well, not sucessfully, anyway).

A large amount of HU errata in the Rifters was also included in the Game Master Guide right? Kind of like how a lot of Rifts errata ended up in its own GMG...
