m Every once in a while a public service announcement (PSA) comes along that truly takes your breath away. In this new video, "The Undeading," a horde of zombies performs CPR on a hapless victim. The PSA, directed by Vincenzo Natali for Canada's Heart & Stroke Foundation, is at times i...

Only played a female character once and I played her committed to her cause with no interest in relationships, male or female. Other t5han that she soft spoken and generally nice to others.

Ronin Shinobi

Inspired on a episode of dead files where a house contained about 5 shadow people who were tormenting a family for years. Especially the children. Could be a good Adventure for a paranormal group to look into.

Ronin Shinobi

My views are already covered in the original post so I'm going to touch on 4 and 6 4. If it was something they picked out during character creation and have a very good story on how they learned it, then I will let them pick their age but no earlier than 18 years. If they took a 2ndary martial arts ...

Ronin Shinobi

First of all paired weapons all only gives them then ability to use a weapon in the off hand, it doesn't give them the proficiency in every ancient weapon like Moo Gi does. Second, while I maybe wrong about application of Chi Gung(mostly because I'm going on memory and don't have book with me) Do y...

Ronin Shinobi

Make one for PT and make one with a hunter, just using everything standard. Over all I can bet the hunter is going to be better in the trade than someone who PT and put all the skills to hunting and wilderness. Even if you take the highest scholastic group, +30 may make him better in a few skills b...

Ronin Shinobi

Okay Now i see, sorry i was assuming you were talking about hybridizing the classes from the start. Well going back to your first post on the question you realize that PT character is training solely tp put their body to be strong beyond normal means, unlike Hunter who has to hone other areas like ...

Ronin Shinobi

Its still all in all a general skill group so it still fits into the scenario if go to work/school then physically train to their hearts content once the bell ring/punch out. Their are many examples RL wise of people doing that. Where as hunter it self is getting skills selectively due to the intens...

Ronin Shinobi

Well first of all allowance if combining PT with hunter would be out, because PT it self required a lot of time and training, even with scenario given that they changed class the character loses all aspect of PT abilities because he's not longer committing to it as they had been, there is truth in ...

Ronin Shinobi

See what your getting at now, I would say no on combining the classes. They will have to choose either Physical training or Hunter. They can't have both and claim they were not good at one and switched just to get all the physical skills of PT. No, that's not what I'm getting at. I'm asking you to ...

Ronin Shinobi

1. What martial arts they're going for. 2. Story on how they learned said martial arts. 3. How in balancing will it be to let them have it. Its something like N&SS Taekwondo I would be more lean ant and let them have it with minus 2 or 3 skills I was talking about the PT's art in the HU book. S...

Ronin Shinobi

Now reading the Hunter class more I will say that it doesn't require lost of a skill group because I had assumed they still get 2 or 3 scholastic sill groups in addition to what they have listed. However Martial art is still going to require a lot of time to train and with the character learning ot...

Ronin Shinobi

Church for light and or dark though. No Dragon wright months

Ronin Shinobi

All this talk over how long it takes someone who is a hunter to learn Moo Gi Gong is making my head hurt. At what point are the training times split from one another? I've seen that it takes 18 years to become a hunter, and then 10 to learn Moo Gi Gong. Why is it assumed that the training for each ...

Ronin Shinobi

Training in a martial arts is not just matter of taking time to learn. Person will also have to keep up that training with physical exercises, meditation to focus his chi, preforming katas, kick drills, punching, sparing with someone, list can go on. Factor in he's probably then has to go to range a...

Ronin Shinobi

For that martial art, even if its not exclusive is still not going be readily available as those you see littering mini malls or driving down your city block. Can't he just say his dad knew Moo Gi Gong? Still would take time to train and thus the character's interest will have to be spit. The remov...

Ronin Shinobi

So they're one in 4 or 5 in the group doing that. Then, the action starts and your pacifist refuses to help. Your team is out there slugging it out with the Villain and the pacifists goes, "No. I shall not harm another living thing" and your villain goes, well i'm not going down with out ...

Ronin Shinobi

I liked it because it had mutant snake option and while mutants down under did too Yucatan had the constrictors as well as the poisonous ones.

Ronin Shinobi

I did, though I see that it doesn't have a D12 button. While the die in it self is almost obsolete their are still some RPGs currently that still use it. Most notably the Ironclaw games I have. Going to defiantly recommend it in my review. Other than that I like it.

Ronin Shinobi

One physical skill, 2 secondary skills AND their normal hand to hand combat skill...given that you can only have one hand to hand skill on a character at a time. For that martial art, even if its not exclusive is still not going be readily available as those you see littering mini malls or driving ...

Ronin Shinobi

I don't mind a debate but your last comment did come off to me as chastising as if your getting frustrated with argument. To answer your question of brandishing remember there are over 200 zombies in that factory. You don't think any of them are going to be wearing something of their religion on the...

Ronin Shinobi

The definition of a a pacifist is a person who believes in pacifism or is opposed to war or to violence of any kind. This doesn't mean they don't do anything either. If this was the case we wouldn't have them at protests against war or conflict. They can easily be in a gaming group and just as easil...

Ronin Shinobi

only for my own character pics. If I'm Gaming then no. Hard enough to find pics that give an ideal what my own character looks like but to do it for every major NPC or villain I would be on every art site for days.

Ronin Shinobi

Heroes Unlimited GM book has leaping in more detail but details more on effect it has with the super powered strength. However, there might be something detailing normal strength and its effect on leaping too. Don't have book with me so can't be certain on the exact info.

Ronin Shinobi

Thanks Grand like the MachDice app better than the ones I have so far. RPG calc looks similar my other apps, only difference is the other apps don't have a division sign. Though that in self might tempt me to get it. Post link here if anyone is interested in either one.

Ronin Shinobi

On a added note, looking through my Ironclaw 2nd edition book, they have Pacifist as a combat gift. As long as they don't hurt anyone, or attack they get a bonus in sensing danger. In the first addition book it was a character flaw that, depending on the severity, can inhibit certain skills or actio...

Ronin Shinobi

In a round table gaming group, it's annoying and forcing the game to conform to a 'gimmick' type character. In very.... gentle groups.. it might fly... but in most groups you're going to annoy the peer living crap out of your group in about 10 minutes. OR.. they'll just ignore you and your char who...

Ronin Shinobi

Okay your honestly taking this way too personally, not to mention seriously because it sounds like your getting heated over something that's just suppose to be a fun what if. First of all, I'm not saying thinkers are these great generals that can look at a situation and devise military tactics. If t...

Ronin Shinobi

liked look of machdice and it has 4 stars to boot. Downloading it now.

Ronin Shinobi

One doesn't have to be a pacifist to focus on that end of non-combat activity either, plenty of characters who like focusing on medicine or other things and end up alongside a more combat active group or appearing to be non-combat sorts only to break out the pain for someone because while they were...

Ronin Shinobi

There wouldn't be much point creating a pacifist in a super-hero game, since they're actively avoiding combat and adventure and are focused onto pursuits generally not part of the super-hero genre (as people have this oddball notion that heroes aren't supposed to be doing anything but rescuing peop...

Ronin Shinobi

Only other book that would have Blackpowder weapon is Roadhogs but only for one the villains who uses a buffalo rifles as his weapon of choice.

Ronin Shinobi

Thats very true but I would assume thinkers would be able give some balance to Zombie's side. Most will observe and watch their Zombie brethren being slaughtered noting the vamps patter. Like avoiding or getting hurt by sunlit windows, or a leaky pipe, or a fallen beam because its casting a shadow o...

Ronin Shinobi

Couldn't really find a general place to post this since it would be helpful to players as well. So mods if you know a better forum to put this please move it. Found two apps that would be very helpful to RPers, both of them though are for I phone. unsure of theirs a android version but testing them ...

Ronin Shinobi

I would think create force field and or weight manipulation or gravity manipulation powers would fit a pacifist well since they can contain or incapacitate a foe without physical conflict.

Ronin Shinobi

I think your misreading what I said. Your assuming that I'm saying they don't have any tactic at all. Never said that. I just stated that they wouldn't have enough guile and was more referring to in comparison to their 2ndary cohorts than to the zombies.. As for attack dog scenario, your again only ...

Ronin Shinobi

Not a bad show and I think it would provide some good setting or even a HL&S story for a RPG session or two. Maybe even a campaign if done well enough.

Ronin Shinobi

You make no sense, what does primal instinct causing them to retreat from a loosing battle (that is what I read from your statement of not have enough gile...) have to do with anything? Why would wild vampires have to fight to the DEATH in order to survive, that statement especially doesn't make se...

Ronin Shinobi

Alright despite the other variations I am going have all vampires be secondary. Fell placing a vampire Lord/Master would be over powering and Wild Vampires wouldn't have enough guile due to their primal instincts to fight til death to survive a zombie horde. other Variants like Wampyr wouldn't be fe...

Ronin Shinobi

Too many questions need answers before I can vote on this. Specifically: All the questions can be answered. Were basing this solely on on the palladium based creatures. SDC variation if you want more specifics. If you are wanting exact variation I will draw look through my books tonight and post wh...

Ronin Shinobi

Vampires have access to a whole list of abilities zombies don't. Particularly a high regeneration rate and ability of transformation.

Ronin Shinobi

That would be only reason vampires would fight zombies anyway. They are a threat to their own food supply. Its no different if one predator finds another in its territory despite being a different species. It recognizes the threat as a competitor to it's food supply and thei have been cases where th...

If you look at region description, especially with the older TMNT books they seem to point out that the turtles had left the New york and possible set up camp some where in the south and established a ninja society. You could fact or that in with your campaign. you mean the "gang of four"...

Actually thought it would be fun to to debate on. Guessing not.

Or form their own crimefighting/hockey team.

In my opinion, as a GM, I would allow one of the following: 1. The suit to be dwarven made, giving it an AR of 18; OR 2. The suit to be enchanted with Bursts Into Flame, giving it an AR of 18; OR 3. The suit to be enchanted in the "normal" fashion, giving it an AR of 18; OR 4. The suit to...

The Episode on Deadliest warriors and a comment made about the match up between Palladium own Vampires vs Dead reign zombies on another post sparked this one.
