Re: RIFTS Lore...where we at?

20 years of books could be a lot of books, or a few, depending on release schedule... I backed the Titan book, so that's the most recent one I have, but it only really covers Titan Robotics, ARCHIE and a few other more local areas (Ishpeming, Manistique, etc). I avoided the megaversal books, so I'm ...

I would think that while the person's heart still has the same qualities that brought them to the forge's interest in the first place, the forge would not let them go, or have a reason to. Also, that one CK doesnt need to respond to every little problem in the galaxy. I could see the forge granting ...

If i ran a Rifts RT crossover, I'd have them discover the flying along ley lines revitalizes the Protoculture and greatly increases its lifetime. Use the somewhat mystical nature of the protoculture in the players favor, as its rarity will not be.

Re: Achilles Neo-Humans

Here's the thing: In the example, the Neo-Human has a base of 312 ISP. Before transforming they use 37 ISP, leaving 275. After they transform they have 156 ISP, which is half of their base. If the power costs half of their base to use, they would have had 119 ISP. Do they regain any ISP they had ov...

I always saw it as "regular price, 4 bucks, 4 bucks, 4 bucks" meaning you can't transform unless the initial pool is split, then its 2 to maintain per hour beyond the first, not 2 ISP to transform. But I must be the odd man out :P
