I was always under the impression that if it was a 3d6 roll, the bonus die was rolled...any other (especially higher) didn't get the bonus die. Could be wrong, though.

If there was some way for them to get the rights to the IP back, I would totally buy this.

My favorite books are the Dino Swamp books, Arzno and New West, so I have to go with Todd, Jason and Chris.

Welp, it's almost a year since the last post in here, so I'll ask...anything new on this front, or has Robotech Tactics taken all of the resources?

I've had thoughts about a dwarven magebane, as well. The mental image of a dwarf walking through a wizards spells and blowing his knees out with a big hammer is quite alluring.

I had a dogboy (blood hound) Justice Ranger that I really enjoyed playing.

Doesn't cyber-knight armor crumble upon death? Seems like I read that somewhere....

If I remember correctly, Nuhr Dwarves also have a pretty extended life span.

In truth, I had less of a "force of the sword hitting" and more of a "hot knife through butter" idea in mind. Basically, the cutting edge being sharp enough cut through MD material(sharp at the molecular level), instead of having some sort of "energy" causing the damag...

Who says that the damage dealt by the sword had to be the same as the Lightblade spell. Use Lightblade as a base and then whatever wind spell to suit your need. The damage doesn't have to be the same but there does have to be some kind of damage mechanism that isn't simply one's arm. You can't use ...

Might look at the legacy scout in Dino Swamp. They are the experts on Pre-rifts treasures.

Wall of Wind is a spell that does damage - if a TW focused and narrowed it I could see the damage increasing and the "area of effect" decreasing to that of a sword blade. I envision a hilt here with a fan blade built into the end. The user pumps in the P.P.E., the fan blade starts spinnin...

All good suggestions...thanks for the help, guys.

Another idea (this would require negotiation with the GM) would be to use the Telekinesis spell as a foundation. Using similar principles to the TW TK guns, but instead it creates a blade of telekinetic force. That's an idea...maybe even telekinesis with a Fingers of the Wind spell...using the tele...

I've been developing a game that would be set in the new west (Arzno and Lone Star would probably get used, also). I would love the game to remain in those areas, but if the players want to wander off, I'll deal with that as it comes.

I've been trying to come up with a spell chain that would allow me to make an air sword (basically concentrate air into a razor sharp edge). I want to add a thunderclap spell into it (pump a few more PPE into it to get that effect), but am having trouble finding spells that would create the sword in...

Reading the text in Conversion Book One, it does not state how long it takes to make any of the lightning weapons, just that there are 4 examples of lightning javelins, and 2 arrow. So in this case it would be up to the GM. Being that they are magical in nature, I personally would probably make it 1...

Butter Trolls for the win.

I've actually been thinking about how to make a Raptor King out of Dino Swamp as a main antagonist. I don't think many players would see that coming.

maybe we've figured out how the splugorth manage to fill all those rune weapons they make It actually states in the Conversion book that Atlantis has some Cyclops on retainer there making the weapons for them. I imagine thats a fairly lucrative gig, as long as the splugs don't crawfish and screw th...

they've drained swamps of water before. how do you think New Orleans '9th ward was made? True, but what are the chances that the inhabitants there have the technology or the desire to do so? Also, the water levels are a bit higher now. The technology needed to drain a swamp is Industrial 1908 Techn...

Being in the automotive industry, I can tell you first hand what effect mud and grit has on seals. Even heavy industrial machinery that deals with those kind of materials regularly replace the seals. Sand or mud that gets left there long enough will also groove the shaft and neccesitate repairing or...

Hehehe...sounds like a hoot! Been such a long time since I've played a low tech, high adventure style game..brings back memories. Thanks for sharing!

How about a Ganka full conversion 'borg? (Come to think of it, I don't think that's even possible...)

They're also excessively overpowered if not handled properly. IIRC, there are some pretty strict rules and how much tech they can fuse with at any given time, and that fusing with giant robots or vehicles isn't really what they were designed for, though you can do it with some penalties.

In a Rifts dominated world, it's hard to find anyone running an ATB or TMNT game anymore. It's such a shame...I love the line (the first rpg I ever played was TMNT) and I wish it got more attention and love. If anyone is currently running or in a game, I'd love to hear about it if anyone has the tim...

Arzno is one of my favorites as well. The descriptions of the city and the AMC are terrific, the info about Fort Tombestone and Bisbee is good, and the Lyn-Srial (sp?) are a really cool race of DBees. The techno-wizard gear is also top notch.

I thought Shemmarians had a commercial line of weapons that were booby trapped or something for gathering intel. Or was that someone posting what they would do as ARCHIE?

I would recommend Arzno and Lone Star to round out your New West. Also the Dino Swamp books are pretty cool, IMO.

I know Aliens Unlimited isn't a Rifts book, but I was disappointed with that one. My expectations were more like a D-Bee's of N. America, but it turned out to be "Here's how you make a lizard based alien, and here's how you make a bird based alien..."and so on and so forth. It's still a u...

I imagine that in any game I ran, someone would have to do something really spectacular to aquire one, and then only on the condition that whomever earned that piece of hardware would NEVER sell it (make it some point of honor or something along those lines...I don't think I would even consider givi...

I read (VK R?) that ARCHIE is having Shemmarians leave caches of weapons around northern mexico. Now being that everywhere else you read about them, Shemmarias NEVER let thier weapons get taken, and if someone DOES manage to get one, they will try and confiscate them (presumably so they won't get re...

Personally, I would have to go with the "nothing is impossible" way of thinking. It is HIGHLY improbable, considering that a vast majority of the world isn't literate in their own language, let alone a language that was considered archaic before the cataclysm. IF any books still existed th...
