A few years back there that 'other company' was doing the Everquest mmo, etc.? For many years now I've been playing Entropia Universe. The guys behind that game, you know, the game with the most expensive virtual assets in the world, etc., are sometimes always looking for partners for different proj...

Magic Item collectors make for great NPCs. One really oddball Heroes Unlimited NPC I did a very, very long time ago collected all sorts of artifacts and magic item weapons from all over the place, and basically became a one man army with his stash. However, he did look odd as hell wearing/using some...

not exactly the same thing, but the gas mask kids in Dr Who who ask "are you my mummy" in Empty Child episode are freaky as hell.

Yes, Palladium officially says you should not crossover to other games, etc. but I got to say World of Darkness Wraith Series opens up a lot of ideas... especially if mixed with the astral kingdom ideas in Nightbane. Officially, yes, there is no real ghosts in game as it is now... but at the same ti...

Teach them to cook and put them in commercials for Hamburger Helper to give you a supplemental income in game.

actually created a character like that once as an npc... Actually he had 5 different personalities, and was sort of a jester/side story to the main story... can make for some fun times... not sure I'd want it as a player character though... closest thing in player characters was when I had an intell...

Nice to see someone from Mizzou on here. (I work for the Hospital.) Now that there's high megapixel cameras out there (and flatbed scanners) GM should make a copy of the sheets, and let player keep the originals.

I'd say yes, but it'd be a house rule... also it'd depend on if the character was intangible before the teleport...

Magnetism and Intangibility are a nice combo too.

I think Road Hogs has some rules.

villains are just heroes with different goals... been plenty of anti-heroes as pcs over the years... As far as true 'villians' go worst 'crossing the line' I ever did was as a GM once many years ago... a mage made a 'deal' with an evil intelligence in a game I ran... he got additional powers from th...

mastermesh

yes, it all adds together, but it depends on the 'house rules' to a large extent... just make sure the gm and all players are playing by the same 'rules' in your 'house'. For instance, our house rules back in the day always allowed ALL CHARACTERS to start with the 2 attacks per melee and then you AD...

mastermesh

yes, IF THE GM ALLOWS IT... BUT... GM is also going to allow NPCs to have similar levels of power

Time to pull out the old Demigod who is a magic weapon collector and has already collected about 50 magic items and another 50 rune weapons as an NPC...

Glitter boy would be neat... HOWEVER, on screen, all of them will look alike so it'll be really hard to follow the battles if there's a bunch of them... sort of like the ol star war movies were all the ships and foot soldiers all look identical for the most part - that's a bad thing. both good guys ...

Rifts are Multi-dimensional. No reason the Millennium Falcon can't come flying out of a rift.

As far as D&D goes... the last D&D based movie was pure and utter waste of time to watch.

mastermesh

as far as scripts go... why not actually use material from the core books as the plot lines... You could probably make a couple of trilogies from some of that stuff honestly... and tie them all together with a major overhead plotline like the biggies of the mechanoids, 4 horsemen, etc. Tough part, I...

mastermesh

mix and match. All of the above. It's nice to have variety. I have a lot of the Old World of Darkness games, so some inspiration comes from there from time to time.

mastermesh

Barker's stuff is all sort of similar to Nightbane on some levels. Want another NB similarity... What about the ectokid Comic? The comic about the kid that could enter the astral plane/plane of the dead by switching which eye the patch was on since one of his parents was a ghost? Not exactly a walk ...

yep. it's an entangle and will require an action/attack per melee to do since it's not auto. However... I think some super powers like bend light let you parry lasers and stuff like that, so it might, at gm discretion be possible to parry with some power or psionic thing such at telekenesis, etc. bu...

Just have the dead characters make up ghostly characters and/or some other undead critter... of course, bringing them back to life with a spell might just work as well.

Shield uses? See Captain America movie.

Anyone put the runes in the book together as a font yet? If so, where's it?

Just give him a nice little 'toy' that boosts him up to where you want him to be.... I always liked using special items that give different powers and things in Heroes and Ninjas games. Could work for NB games as well... Headband that doubles ISP, a ring that has superpowers (use heroes mystically b...

I used to have a character named 'BOING' that was sort of similar... Elasticity and Supersonic Flight. He was like a rubberball bouncing all over the place.

mastermesh

the official answer is "copy right issues". the same reason there are not any offical converison book sections on it. since Robotech is a liscense obtained fro manother company, palladium has to keep the game lines seperate officially. certainly as a GM you could have flower of life growi...

in my campaigns the cure is living in the land of Winshiloskira for a year.

It's an interesting idea... but why leave it in Jerry's court? It's your Intellectual Property. If he's not moving on it, talk to other studios.

not sure about actual types, but new chi powers would be interesting additions for sure... Read some book on kung fu a while back and one of the so called powers was the ability to climb brick walls with your shoulderblades!

In various rifts books they talk about the storms that come sometimes... sometimes blobby creatures fall from the sky and stuff.

Remember, not every battle has to be "to the death" or anywhere close to it... remember to have different levels of npcs as backup in case the ones on hand you had plans for die. Tie everything together.... When I used to do a lot of GMing one way I balanced things was to always have about...

"What are you doing?" or "What are you doing now?" That is one question I constantly used to ask my gaming groups... Ask it to each individual, the group in general, etc. Always ask so that it sort of implies to them that they need to DO something - even if it is something passiv...
