Congrats.

Akashic Soldier

Dear Carmen, Right now, given everything, you're probably feeling like you want to be FAR-FAR away from all of this. I do not blame you. I have no doubt that the efforts you have invested are extensive. However, its unlikely a Rifts Miniatures game (in a traditional sense) will be the sucsess you ha...

Nick is good people, try hitting him up on Facebook.

Akashic Soldier

I have. One of my players has... Fearless Croc-a-Doc, Rha-Lak Dovekk If you use the critical injury tables from the original Rifts Main Book (the ones that if not treated by a trained doctor are permanent), you watch how fast people start scrambling for Body Fixer. Also, remember to enforce the -30%...

Akashic Soldier

I often have NPCs with vital information. So players either take them alive or miss out on a lot. Its a bit of a risk sometimes and will often result in things seeming a bit incomplete in a story. However, I just make it a note to mention "Well, that is what happens when you murder everyone.&qu...

Akashic Soldier

Don't they specifically say that NG specifically uses the Coalition's currency?

Akashic Soldier

Have you read "What is a Credit?" (I believe that is the title), in the Rifts: Game Master Guide? Essentially, Credit Cards (cards with Credits on them) work like Australian Debit Cards. You put credits on them, swipe them and it takes credits off them. Presumably there is certain fail saf...

No problem buddy, that's why I posted it.

Akashic Soldier

I see the argument for that, but shock is a *****. Granted, it's an RPG, so we should be more heroic, or something, but if you lose your whole arm there's a good argument that shock could take you down for good. I usually leave it up to a save vs coma/death. That is how I do it as well. I just redu...

Akashic Soldier

Hey New Blood, First up, welcome and salutations. Next, following this post will likely be an entourage of people ragging on the system saying it is unplayable. You need patches, house rules, etc. Ignore those people. That is their opinion, and they have a right to it but me and my group (and anothe...

Akashic Soldier

Troll Earth Warlock, i remember that. Good times. Maybe I'll have him do a cameo in one of my stories, if that's acceptable to the creator. Haha, I should do see if I can slip him into one of the Rifters somehow or something. I've played a lot of characters, but not many have the same gruff charm a...

Akashic Soldier

Yup yup. Rad. I haven't played him a while actually, I miss the character. However, we should be starting up again soon so hopefully I'll have the chance again sometime in the near future. As for not being around, I am sorry man. I am still very active doing my GMing thing (which you can keep up to...

Akashic Soldier

You were working on an adventure last rime we spoke. Maybe a year ago. You had posted aome pre generated characters. Trolls one was a driver one was a cook. I think their was twins. I am not exactly sure what you are talking it about. Could you be referring to Gruz, my Earth Warlock Troll in CyberD...

Akashic Soldier

I run it that is only protects the main body, a called shot can slip past and take off an arm and a leg if they are not careful (or skilled enough to evade the attack). It is this reason they are typically equipped with one of the Splugorth amulets (as per equipment of note). As far as I can tell, t...

Akashic Soldier

One of the largest complaints about NG2 I read on the forum was that there were no new Bionics in the book, because "they were promised" . However, there are. They are the very last thing in the book. There are only a couple of new features, but there are new bionics in the book. Just thou...

Akashic Soldier

Welcome to the boards darthyagi. I think complexity is a matter of simple unfamiliarity. All RPG's look complex to new players. New to RPG's in general or just new to the system. I typically introduce new players and I focus on the story and the players. The rules can get learned along the way and ...

There are some official rules for psionics on Chaos Earth in Rifter #50 , just in case you didn't know.

There are better pictures in the books, but THERE you go man.

Akashic Soldier

I understand the "other" skill selection limitations to a point: It presumes that the character stays in the same region, doing what he does (his OCC). But, Rifts can be transdimensional, so; Let's say a Demon and Monster Slayer (from Russia) gets D-ported to Phase World and the Three Gal...

Akashic Soldier

W.P. Knife (as per its description in the R:UE). I also think its mentioned again somewhere in Juicer uprising. Its one of those interesting little facts that I've always thought were neat. Tiger Claws and such, use Forked but vanbrace weaponry uses W.P. Knife.

Akashic Soldier

1. Mike "Mumah" has a style/aesthetic that he utilizes to convey what he is assigned to do, and I have mine. I view both as strong and neither is less awesome than the other, imho. I agree. I hope you understand that finding something to "critique" wasn't easy. However, I have d...

Akashic Soldier

The only "constructive" criticism I have regarding the artwork of Palladium Books (which has been phenomenal) is I think Chuck should study the school of Mumur for a few weeks and they should have a baby. Let me explain. Chuck has excellent work and there are many scenes throughout Norther...

Akashic Soldier

As I understand it Cosmo Knights are remade into Cosmo Knights and are not listed as having any magic or psychic powers. So I have always assumed the process that transforms the character removes them. I allow players to keep racial traits (that are not magic or psionic) however, just to add a littl...

Akashic Soldier

In real life, they have been screwed royally over and over again by a variety of different non-indigenous Australians and have had to fight (with the help of Aboriginal agents) to retain their rights and their culture. *Beats his head against a sharp rock* No. Just no. I grew up with Aboriginals, r...

I am so sorry, I feel like a total ass. However, I have not heard from Kevin as to whether or not I am allowed to distribute it yet. So, I can't.

Hero Machine was not used in the production of Northern Gun 2.

Akashic Soldier

I know five backers (six including myself) who refuse to post on the KS because of certain prevailing voices that go to great lengths to drown out others who do not agree with them. They (myself included) are happy getting their updates in via e-mail, they come through on a regular enough basis.

The Galaxy Guide is.

Good eye. I had just assumed. They should buy it anyway.

Akashic Soldier

A lot of people do not realize that Aliens Unlimited has detailed information about using the material in RIFTS® . It is hands down one of my favorite books, both as a Player and a Game Master. If you are a Rifts fan but have never taken the time to check this book out, I recommend picking it up no...

Akashic Soldier

Thank You AS, but I am not concerned with any lies as there will be effective repercussions to such offenders. I am just growing more tired of this same ole tirade that is tainting the forum waters. RRT wants the product, PB wants the product released ASAP and is doing everything in their power to ...

Akashic Soldier

please stop trying to conjure a negative flag over Palladium Books with your misinterpreted implications. it is not helping the scenario at all. PB will deliver and will deliver quality. There's no point my friend, none. If you keep it up you too will share the fate that I (and Jeffy apparently) ha...

Akashic Soldier

To my fellow Robotech Backers who would request "the bare bones rules" for the game. You can find the link HERE . I am quite happy with Palladium's communication, response to its fans and (following the most recent update) the product. Wayne (or was it Jeff?) assembled an entire squad of P...

Akashic Soldier

Nice write-up. I balked momentarily at the mammalian aspect of child birth despite the amphibian nature of the race. But in retrospect it does make them more alien and vulnerable as species, given they do not lay hundreds of eggs in water like their amphibian ancestors may have. Which makes childre...

Feel free to comment, critique, etc. This thread will be used to post stuff from my own game that I do not think warrants its own Rifter article. If you want to help me grow as an RPG writer, feel free to add your two cents. Blatant trolling will be reported. Tillip R.C.C. : A race of benevolent Fr...

Rifts® Conversion Book 2: Pantheons of the Megaverse.

Akashic Soldier

This would probably come under the 'common sense' or 'why you have a GM' areas. Not every single thing can be properly modeled, and in fact the game doesn't even try. The very idea of SDC/HP is non-realistic since 'damage' isn't quantum. But its very convenient to use from a game standpoint since i...

I am heartbroken, hurt, distraught and all the emotions that screw with ur confidence and esteem I am really sorry to read this. I'm no stranger to losing a loved one and I know these feelings all too well. I just want you to know that even if everything seems terrible at times life does get better...

Akashic Soldier

Please lock this thread. Unfortunately, other work demands are preventing me from taking the time I require to finish this. I apologize to the two of you who were waiting for more but life happens and family comes first. I can't keep dedicating so much of my free time to volunteer projects and my ho...

Akashic Soldier

I've got 200-300 pages of steampunk sitting on Kevin's desk awaiting the time when he can review it. Everyone who has seen it has praised it to date. So hopefully when Kevin picks it up he'll be equally impressed and folks will finally be able to visit and run games in Anostos.

Akashic Soldier

Imho. Sea inquisitor is an Add-on. Much like warrior of Valhalla, DemiGod, MegaHero, etc. There is no logical argument against Class ADD-ONS. Jussayin. Sure there is. According to the conversion rules in Conversion Book 1 (Revised) and the R:GMG index list (regarding the Demigod and Warrior of Valh...

Akashic Soldier

Yes like the ability for a kid wielding a broom being able to throw it through the chest of an Ogre because it's rounded tip has such a small surface area. No, because that is going to "kill" the monster and not "damage a region of its body". Its more like... stabbing something ...

Akashic Soldier

The problem is that all the body parts will have at least 1 MDC. If you look on page 17 of the Compendium of Contemporary Weapons , the only other place in the Megaverse that gives you rules on providing hit points to different body parts (in this case, humans), it tells you to round up all fractio...

Akashic Soldier

Taalismn has had the best suggestion so far. I'd have a look at World Book: Underseas . Also, if you look around underseas you will find they have a big list of conventional sea-going vessels that do not have extremely detailed write ups. If you took to one of those with the vehicle armorer skill, i...

I've already explained this at length and man it irked me that I was ignored and people don't even read the material before answering. Imagine how I feel when I explain something and it is debated and ignored because people don't like it, rather than sat down and thought about. Essentially, body loc...

Akashic Soldier

So they were pre-made, by the sounds of it, which is an entirely different kettle of fish when compared to needing literally hundreds of hours to assemble, prime and paint the hundreds of figures necessary to have one of those massive battles. I think you were missing the point of my statement man....

Akashic Soldier

There are good alien intelligences. In fact, if I recall correctly there is a canonical good-aligned Splugorth mentioned in one of the Phaseworld books. Plus, check their alignment, its "any". Splynncryth is just a minority (as would be the "good" Splugorth). Why? For the Splugor...

Akashic Soldier

Significantly better, but the problem is still sort of there in the mountains and tundra because its "white/grey" on "white/grey". That said, I am sure I am sure being anal retentive. This is fantastic Hotrod, it really is. P.S.: Oh!!! I just noticed what you did with the demon s...
