Is this the first new release for 2017? Or did something slip my mind?

Marcus

Okay here is a question *I* have for the whole idiot ball juggling by psychics festival How did NO ONE KNOW LADY PROSEK WAS ALIVE. No seriously Any psychic uses object read on anything she ever owed and gets a reading of 'alive' There is, canonically, no way to jam that, and there is no 'range' on ...

As usual with PB stuff it is quite easily publicly available. Just not in a away PB or you profits from it.

Marcus

Memory might not serve me well here, but I don't think there was ever an official pdf of it.

Marcus

Why no 'Who cares?' option?

I was converting an very old character from 1st edition to 2nd edition which was a gnome summoner. However, I just realized that the changes in the stats from 1st to 2nd made it impossible for gnomes to become Summoners. They used to have a 2D6 roll for ME which meant you could get an 12 and roll a...

This thread got me curious, so I got the first book off of Drivethrurpg.
Not much I can add to the discussion though

Marcus

Why would anyone try to do anything like an "Olive branch" to the "backers"? I am an outsider here sure... ...but everything I have seen to me indicates that the 'backers' have already decided that Palladium is malicious and out to get them. Since everything that is done has alr...

Marcus

What would make you think so? Just the use of the word Palladium?

Nope.

While we're at "getting new boards", what about the podcast boards that haven't had a post in two years? Or the ten year old "Help Save Palladium Books" forum that's been locked for two years? Or the board, with no posts in a year, to talk about a game for a platform discontinue...

Reminds me of your last "discussion" about the same subject...
Your mind is made up, you don't want other opinions, why bother?

Got your own god? Neat.

For those that can and want to help Kevin is a more direct way, you might want to go to his E-bay store and buy something there.

Marcus

Yes it is. Hmmm..... Yeah, I'm curious what they changed it to, myself. Unless, of course, ghost2020 was actually saying, Yes it is still the same, and not actually answering the question as posed by Marcus. -Chris To be fair, he did answer the question I asked. I could've been more specific and ad...

Just received my copy of Chaos Earth Resurrection and good grief is this a fantastic looking book! Loving the graphics, the art and the layout! The book is just jam packed with awesome material. I can't wait to use it! Chuck Walton is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Keep it up! Is the layout ...

"Exclusives" are often a problem. The company makes a bunch, more than necessary for the KS because of economies of scale, and then they don't sell enough at conventions. So what to do with the excess inventory? Please understand there are US TAX CODE issues with keeping inventory year to...

the sad thing is though, I'm really not surprised.

Doesn't count as a retail store either. So there was room to wiggle out of it to beginn with.

Question: On page 140, Under P.P.E., It states: 3D6x10 +P.E. attribute number +3D6x10, and an additional 10 per level of experience. Is this an obvious typo? ? That is in fact a typo. I'm not sure what happened during editing, but it should have read: P.P.E.: 3D6x10 +P.E. attribute, and an addition...

Give it a couple of years, maybe then...

I really like your paintjob, nice work there. Would love to see your work on a not-butt-ugly mini one day.

But what about the piracy?!

How many players in the tournament?

Like getting stuff out and sh*t done?

Jerell wrote:Rifts, I think, is potentially one of the most lethal settings out there. Which is good, Cthulu and Hackmaster GMs shouldn't be allowed to claim all the PC kills. But that's what you're bound to get with most characters carrying anti-tank weapons.

Paranoia.

Marcus

The same as 2014.

Marcus

In other words "suck it up and if you don't like it too bad". Gotcha thanks I'll be sure not to bother with any tournaments then and for that matter I'm going to seriously rethink bothering demoing this game if that is the attitude I should expect from mini war gamers. So all need to do i...

Marcus

I'm not disputing that. My point is if you are going to have only one winner of a GAME tournament (which we now know is not the case) then the GAME is what should decide it. Again it is still a GAME first and foremost NOT a modelling contest. I've said my piece but keep in mind THIS game has a lot ...

Marcus

So without leaning to house-ruling it, how does someone like Palladium keep a system that could be used at a international level? Do we now story focus or adjust the rules so that it works for most each of us? They would have to accomplish what they set out to do as an idea. Codify the Core Rules G...

Marcus

I would argue Pepsi-Jedi that any company that is willing to trade internationally over the internet should have at least a minimal amount of staff dedicated to answering any web based inquiries. It isn't practical for people in other countries to constantly have to adjust for 5+ hour time differen...

In all seriousness I have no idea how their help desk works. We can't determine if they are just overwhelmed or it's not monitored? What I do know is that calling will often resolve the problem Immedietly. I called the office a few times before I was a known freelancer and I was always happy when I...

I have no idea. I've been waiting for them for a while and I think they would be great additions. Josh Sinsapaugh is a fantastic writer and i can't wait to see more of his work.

I prefer buying ebooks to regular novels and I like to have both for most of my rpgs, ebook/pdf to read, book for the shelf if it's something I collect.

Many expected something akin to Battletech. 8-12 pieces. Not 18-14 with some of the choices made in how to divide up the parts.... (seriously upper arm, lower arm and hand are all separate on the spartan? oye...) I expected assembly but not what amounts to a larger model kit shrunk to 2 inches in h...

I expected some delays with the product as that is just how things work with Palladium. While the game play sounds cool and most of the packaging, cards, and accessory components are nice, I have to admit the number of parts for each figure is insane. I will never end up using this game. I was expe...

Marcus

I would also suggest to not expect too much of a return for the stuff, unless this game really gets soaring.

Marcus

Everytime I read about pdfs not being profitable, I wonder how every other company is able to afford making them.
And I don't want to even think about companies like Cubicle 7 who give the pdf free to a dead tree Version.
Or how Posthuman Studios isn't bankrupt yet...

Marcus

Really, it was inevitable... you'll see more as more RRT boxes find their way into the hands of backers, who will discover the game doesn't have players in their area to play against or will find out the game wasn't really what they expected when they backed it on Kickstarter. Slight correction, wa...

Nice guide, should be helpful for a lot of new painters.

As a lot of the each mini is white/grey, did you ever try priming white and washing it black? Works imho awesome, gives a good base coat and helps showing details for easier painting

What paint scheme rules?

Anyone who "requires" painted armies (note I said REQUIRES, not PREFERS) for a game is, well, an a-hole. Hopefully that doesn't get censored or get me warned, but it completely meets the definition. I remember as a kid I could barely afford the miniatures, and had to walk *miles* carrying...

Please forgive my ignorance of the different ways of painting miniatures, it's never been my cup of tea.. Perhaps you could give a point by point explanation using this image? As I said, I'm not a mini painter, but to my untrained eyes, this seems far from 'basic'.. I'll take a shot at this. (snip)...
