what are it's capabilities, numbers, special tricks.

how nasty would it be if a permanent portal opened between earth and dimension. Is it a global, or galactic level threat?

Mostly the 80's version, but all ideas are available.

Shades of Eternity

ha, didn't realize this is currently an active thread. I kinda wanna do something insane in my own game. namely Archie is bushwaking demons/dyvals and disecting them...in the name of SCIENCE! he puts them at arms length at secret facilities and collects the data while he tries to figure out how to p...

Shades of Eternity

I'd pick the cat eye dragon personal. But only having 5mins. to get ready to play you must be mad. I can't handle the pressure! Only 5mins. It just can't be done. What would my skills be? How do I get my skill %'s. What is my equipment going to be. AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO PICK OUT SPELLS TOO!!! AND ...

Shades of Eternity

my big question is can we have creative licence.

for example if somebody has mystical beliefs could they be translate into a practitioner of magic occ?

kinda wished it had the demons from LOTD1 in it, but it's a pretty good book

well at least he necroed one of mine

but yeah

even with all the changes made over the years, I still say artillery is viable.

edit: and yet again, somebody has come up with a viable weapon that should have been a staple for lazlo, dwoemer, tolkeen, etc.

Shades of Eternity

Yeah, but archie is pretty much has the upper hand in the intelligence (as in info) department at this point. Anybody who can fake a mechanoid invasion in the city of splynn has real balls and skill. besides bombing from orbit would be a serious draw on resources for atlantis, between the debris and...

Shades of Eternity

I like to use the term post-post apocalyptic.

the apocalypse happened, but things got better.

it still isn't out of the woods yet, but it's certainly more stable then during the coming of the rifts.

Shades of Eternity

always been partial to the rhino-buffalo

cranky, tough and able to take a bite out just about anything

Shades of Eternity

which are your favorite rifts monsters.

basically I'm defining it as any critter whom you cannot play as a pc.

Why is it?

Shades of Eternity

I'll post it here as well, just for completeness sake. As a juicer your a mexican jumping bean, so take advantage of it by chosing the heaviest light armor you can get your hands on. still a fan of the NG particle beam rifle for long arm. It's fairly heavy, but you can lug it with ease. a solid side...

Shades of Eternity

I really like this idea, and could really see a emt borg being essentially a combat medic in warzones. I would build in some sort of version of the jaws of life, maybe some mining equipment (for when a house drops on somebody or a cave in) and a ton of sensors and use the character as a means of res...

Shades of Eternity

assuming normal restrictions on PCs

If based on physical specs and relatively realistic: Grackletooth

If based on magical aptitude: Temporal Raider

If psychic: Achillies Neo-human.

If feeling supernatural: dragon, ultucan. - hatchling.

Shades of Eternity

North America: Assuming I can't replace Hagan Lonovich (above all other choices): Lazlo. Peaceful city with plenty of opportunities for learning and advancment. Arzno is a descent choice as well. I like the mix of magic and tech, just not sure of the heat. Other good choices are Dweomer, Kingsdale, ...

Shades of Eternity

but missiles can be shot out of the air, and in a standard squad, everybody gets a shot.

Combined with an average 70 damage, great range and the fact that when one missile goes boom, the others often follow means there is a good chance the missiles don't do anything.

Welcome to Forums of the Megaverse.

I take it your a rifts fan?

Shades of Eternity

carpet of adhesion and a spray can does wonders ...and if you got some noise makers for it to focus on, you can use it as a polish mindsweeper

Shades of Eternity

dude, I hope this books is simply awesome, you've certainly earned it.

Shades of Eternity

most of the skills go up per level based on 3%, 4%, or 5%

check the skill your looking at and put that number there for easy tallying.

Shades of Eternity

the big question is do you want to shape shift or not.

If so play a werejaguar

If not, play the other one.

Also it's a good idea to find out what everybody else is playing so you can cover a wide range of situations.

Shades of Eternity

dude, this is awesome

Shades of Eternity

Welcome to the site beckman yeah, changing merchant marines to marines proper, which makes a tons more sense. I might increase the sailors percentage to show how they are often put in the merchant marine role as well. engineers might be folded into support cause it is basically a catch all category ...

Shades of Eternity

how's this for revised numbers?

24% Infantry
53% Support
3% Armor
3% Artillery
4% Mech Infantry
1% Intelligence/Spy's
1% Mystic forces (aka magic and psionic guys)
1% Black ops
4% Sailors
1% Merchant Marine
2% Engineers/mechanics
4% Pilots

basically working on some stuff and trying to get some hard numbers on military to population that I can manipulate while I write up for a campaign My thought is that 5%-10% (depending on militancy) of the population of a particular kingdom is involved in the military.

A long time ago when I was a newbie gm, a buddy of mine built a godling, who for his abilities took magic, so he would get all 4 warlock elements and conventional magic. He then managed to impale himself on the tree of yssgard successfully and quite frankly ruined the game. Ever since then, I've kep...

Shades of Eternity

hey, out of curiousity, how does it play and which abm are you using?

Shades of Eternity

yup and grenades are usually a lot cheaper then the e-clips as well. hell A mortar costs 2000 Credits in rifts, and it's ammo is roughly the same cost as a CS grenades. Comparing that with prices of a simple wlk's 320 laser pistol which is 11,000 credits, and the very expensive cost of recharging e-...

norse giants are in conversions book 2 and quite frankly, one of the more powerful allowable pc races if you roll right. (7200 mdc at 1st level...yesh).

I would say supernatural creatures.

I was doing some thinking on this and realized when you get to a certain size, a large quadraped design (especially if the legs can retract quickly) makes a slightly better design for mobile artillery then wheeled or tracked through difficult terrain. I always think of the "spider" designs...

Archie 3 has been noted in several places of watching naruni enterprises as a possible alien menace.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has done some reverse engineering and is now sitting on it, mainly because he's working on other stuff.

Shades of Eternity

wrote up a ton of ideas to expand on it a while back.

will cc it to the person doing it and he can do whatever he wants with it.

Shades of Eternity

you know, that's kinda scarry, if archie has the sole ability to rick roll other electronic devices.

can you imagine the anger of emperor prosak when he gets a surprise for emperor day.

Shades of Eternity

You know, I'm not totally convinced that Archie couldn't find a magical kingdom. Radar jammers and illusions aside, all he really needs is an inertial compass to point out where it is relative to it's previous location. I think an intelligence of 30 is good enough to figure out that point. Although ...

Shades of Eternity

same

in many ways this book is too important to not do.

besides finishing a trilogy of world books, it's a serious omage to the writer in question.

Shades of Eternity

I've always thought of archie as the brave little toaster...with serious psychological issues

and a note...if you don't want it taken seriously, put a

I agree that it would be a good idea to push erick's work, but man, give him some time to grieve.

I'd make it retractable, basically at a press of a button or winch. If you put a light, yet solid metal bar under the crossbow, I think it could help both with aiming (if balenced properly) and give a place where you can parry if need be. with the excellent craft skills of dwarves/kobolds available,...
