According to the weekly updates the next will be in 2021. UPDATE: 2021 Palladium Open House (POH) This event is coming in April or May 2021, so start planning and saving for it. We’ll be looking into securing hotel dates and posting information in a few months. This will be Palladium’s 40th Anniver...

Greetings all,

Are there plans in the works for an Open House 2020?

In what way was Rifts Space broken?

I don't have the books in front of me so I can't quote pages but I seem to recall that the zombies in Dead Reign will kill anything that is alive because it releases the PPE that sustains them. I also remember reading about zombies that are crawling with bugs, thus adding to the danger of infection...

I was actually ok with the vaccine gone terribly terribly wrong scenario. Zombies are one genre where I don't need things super over-complicated. I just need carnage! Also agreed. Unless your group has a realistic chance of resolving the Zombie outbreak - what does it matter what the root cause is?...

asajosh

On topic: I hope that they eventually do another official open house, so far I've never been able to attend and I'd like to make it to at least one. 2015 is the Official one set to happen at the end of April/beginning of May. Should give me time to buy/mod a school bus for the trip (from Florida).....

It would have been smart of me to post a link of Bob... so here it is

This was taken Feb 13, 2010, just four months prior to his death.
I asked him for a "big ol' goofy smile for my caller ID", and there you have it.

Sorry to thread jack.
Thanks again.

For some acids you may want to raid a pool supply store (in every strip center in Florida), or wal mart.

Change Magic Sea Pigeon to Magic Penguin!! Or Magic Duck maybe... but I like penguins!
Otherwise good solid spells I think.

I'd say that the D-Phased mages should be able to walk out of the Carpeted area. CoA needs something physical to be cast on, IIRC, and phased objects ignore the physical plane. Therefore, the phased character should no longer be affected by the Carpet. If this came up in a game I was GM'ing (surpirs...

I play Dead Reign a lot lately, and I know its non magical world but I couldn't help but wonder what little gizmo's an intreped Tech Wizard might arm himself with to survive the Apocalypse TW Anti-Zombie Firearm Just brainstorming here and haven't gont thru the creation process according to the rule...

Bullet proof vest...
As much as i am down with vigilantism.. what happens when someone really pulls a gun on this guy? He'll either **** himself or run, or get shot.
And bullet proof is hardly proof, just bullet retardant. Couple broken ribs will put mister super hero on the ground, taser stick or no.

I could imagine that being an old Megdamage building from the golden age of man... buried under debris and a couple hundred years of plant growth.
The light from the building's collapsing roof could be player characters peaking in, ready to do some spelunking!

Nope, possibly cause you can't see inside a rock??? Good point, here's my crazy hypothetical: What if your teleporting mage took the time in advance to connect a wireless camera inside a steel footlocker (large enough to hold the weapon(s) in question). He burries said foot locker only a couple fee...

According to somewhere on the interweb I read, a group of zombies is called a "vexing", which I for one think is perfect

Basically a man made island with sheer steel walls, a mile or so south of the mainland. Has its own water, power generating systems. Partially converted into a hotel. Ride out the end of the world in style... if you can get there

I believe you specifically mean the Survivalist OCC from Systems Failure. Awesome choice, I'm rolling up an adapted survivalist NPC for my DR game.

Now for all those people saying they'd put their infected wives/husbands/children to a quick death: I get it and I'm totally with you. However I dont necesarily want them doing the same to me...

Im a big fan of the train idea. there is another thread here (stationary or mobile) in which the idea of a train came up. the only major prob with a train is fuel (diesle turbines power electric generators) and what if some one or ones decide to tear up part of the track (for a number of reasons)? i...

Agreed, DR needs a water based source book... I mean how deep must the water be to be "deep enough" to discourage zombie persuit? I know a zombie could walk across the bottom of a pool or other still body of water, but when do rivers carry them away with the current? These and other burnin...

Epically wrote:Personally, having used thermals also, I'd say they'd come up, but not as a heat source. Much like how a tree, plant or inanimate object comes up.

Thats how I ruled it, for the one character who had thermal goggles.

Pretty cool.
Twisted and I would not allow in a game of mine (most likely), but kudos for creativity

As i said in my first post though, my character worked for the power company. he had most of his gear from that still, as our GM wasnt allowing us to choose what OCC we were. based on game play and how the player used the stuff he had on him and around him determined the characters occ.

My view (a lot applies to Psis as well): Basically magic is accepted since it's simply part of the european history/subconcious. Mages will be treated based on how they behave since traditions have both good and bad mages/wizards/witches and magic is not evil in itself. Wise women where always resp...

Well, this may not be the best hunter, but as far as sheer destructive/damage power just grab the nearest HU character with APS:fire and have him go supernova.

Currency would have the same inherint value in Dead Reign that it has to day. Its valuable as long as you believe it has value. You might have placed value on it, I will not. I think you missed my point, US currency only has value because we fundamentally believe it does (or that its backed by some...
