I'm running three events:

Impaled - a Rifts adventure that takes place in eastern Europe.
The Stones - a Rifts adventure with a fun plot twist. (Or at least I think it's fun. Hopefully, you will too!)
Spring Break - my first Dead Reign adventure!

Nevermind, found out about splinered AIs in the Dark Conversions book.

Thanks!

dpenwood

Thank you for the reply!
Quick question: what is a "Splinter" essence?

dpenwood

Hi. I'm planning to run a one-shot for a friend (yes, it's really for a friend!). She is a huge fan of the TV show "Lucifer." I've never seen it, but I've read the gist. So I thought it might be fun to incorporate the Lucifer character into the Rifts adventure as an antagonist. In the show...

Since it's online this year, I'll be able to "attend" GenCon 2020.

I'll be running two (maybe 3) Palladium events. Probably a Rifts and a HU, maybe a third.

dpenwood

Yup. My Rifts games sold out almost instantly. My HU game took a few more hours.

dpenwood

How do we redeem them? I got a receipt and some code but never received instructions on how to redeem it. When I go to checkout, it only offers check and credit card as payment options.

I could have sworn I saw silver SDC BB6 rounds in some book.. maybe a Rifter. Anyone know of a reference? Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but World Book 1 (Vampire Kingdoms) has a variety of silver bullets available. See pages 102-103. Didn't see anything in Rifts Vampires or Arzno. Ha...

I love the idea. I was at the last two open houses, and happily did the drive to/from Boston. I'd do it again. I'd also definitely support a KickStarter. Unfortunately, I don't know Michigan too well so I can't really help with hotel experiences. Question though: is the staff at Palladium on board w...

Very good question, I'm wondering the same thing myself.

All: It's been a while since I replied to this thread. It wasn't forgotten or disregarded, I just became overwhelmed with all that had happened and I mentally shut down for a while. It's been almost two months now and life has moved on, though it will never be the same. I just wanted to thank you al...

Hi there, this is my first post here in a while, but hopefully not my last. Recent events have reinvigorated my love of the Rifts setting and I would like to do something with it, aside from just talking about it endlessly on the internet. I'm likely going to run a Rifts game soon, and would like t...

dpenwood

Sorry for your loss. We always remember funny gaming anecdotes, and bring them up in later games, would you like to share one about him? Thank you. We actually didn't play in the same campaigns together much, so I don't have many tales about his favorite character: Shaft, his level 9 halfling thief...

Hi. I'm not sure which forum was most appropriate to post this, so I'll post it here. Two days ago, my older brother passed away unexpectedly. It seems surreal to be typing that... The reason I'm posting about that here is because he's the one who introduced me to RPGs when I was a kid back in the 8...

I had intended to post this sooner but work/life/sleep got in the way! I really enjoyed the Palladium Open House this year. The big problem I struggled with was the 14 hour drive. In the past, I could drive 14+ hours straight without any issue. Even as recently as two years ago, the drive from Bosto...

Hello all! Long time gamer here, hopelessly infatuated with Rifts and Palladium books. Recently, my friends and I have started playing a very fun campaign of Rifts. The nice thing is that 3/4 of the players are completely new to the game, and they are loving it! We play online, using skype, incorpo...

My fiancee and I have our tickets! We're going to VIP Thursday and will be there for the weekend. I'm planning to run 3-4 events... What games are will you run, if you don't mind me asking? I was just discussing that with my fiancee earlier this evening. Short answer: I'm not sure yet. Longer answe...

I wish they would go with HeroLab. It's spoiled me so much I can't write up a player character or npc without it. What used to take me 15-30 min now takes me half the time. No more looking through sourcebooks to find the information. It's all printed on the sheet. HeroLab is cool. The company that ...

I've been working on one the past few months. It's coming along well, but it's a private project.

Great choice with Century Station! I have two one-shots that I have run several times. One is based in Century Station... The other is a jailbreak from Gramercy Island (which I assumed, perhaps inaccurately, is on an Alcatraz-like island just off of Century Station..... so Century Station has a came...

dpenwood

It wasn't clear to me if Palladium/Megaversal Ambassadors are submitting the events on our behalf or if we're submitting them ourselves. I asked over e-mail but never received a response. I did receive a spreadsheet with pre-arranged times on it, however. So I went ahead and submitted my events to G...

dpenwood

Probably a long-shot, but figured I'd try:

Anyone own Rifter #48 and interested in selling it?

I have every issue of The Rifter except #48. I'd love to get my hands on it...

Feel free to reply here or PM me.

Thanks!

dpenwood

four i would suggest for all new GM's.. regardless of the worldbook setting they are interested in. Rifts Ultimate Edition Conversion book 3: Dark conversions (for the monsters) Game Master Guide (for quick stats on tons of gear) Book of magic (for all the magic) Rifts Ultimate Edition: yeah, that ...

dpenwood

Those are good books, but I'm not sure I'd put them as high up on the list. It really depends what kind of game you're playing, but I'd say something like: + The Book of Magic + Rifts Black Market + A world book of your choice (I recommend New West) + Sourcebook One + Rifts Aftermath is pretty good ...

dpenwood

All, I just wanted to thank you all for the many terrific and helpful suggestions. To address a few points... A number of people have brought up the possibility that they ARE challenged but just don't seem it. I considered that... but when your party drops 500 MD in less than a round I think somethi...

dpenwood

OK first off, you sure their overpowered? Maybe they are just good at what they do? That is an excellent question, and part of the problem. There's no doubt that they're good at what they do, and I'm trying to find the line between that and being over-powered. If they're good at what they do, I don...

dpenwood

I was under the impression that credits were stored electronically, like on a credit stick. They keep it on their person I suppose.. I see where you're going with that. Then if they've got everything on a cred stick, all it takes is one City Rat with the computer hacking skill and a lot of ambition...

dpenwood

Money is another problem that you both have brought up... they have a lot of it. It's a non-factor... so I need to make that a factor somehow as well. How much money do they have and what form is it in? Credits, gems, precious metals? If it is the latter, where is it kept? Mostly credits... some ge...

dpenwood

Great advice from both of you! I'm going to use some of this.

Hi. I'm having a small problem with my campaign and I'm wondering if people on here could provide me with some suggestions. First, let me acknowledge that this situation was created by me; I have no one to blame by myself. I hear that my party is over-powered, or perhaps I'm too "nice" of ...

I will be running several games... not sure which yet. Definitely Rifts and probably Heroes Unlimited. I may try running an After the Bomb game...

I'm reading the SA2 book and read up on the Megaversal Legion. It says they are an "army for hire". Okay, suppose some group/government wanted to hire their services. What, in your opinion, would be their rate of pay? I think this could fit well into my campaign's storyline, but I have no ...

What is the location for the adventure you're writing? Madhaven Madhaven rocks! I was expecting Vampire Kingdom or something. Awesome! Good luck with that, Wayne is always looking for adventures.

Hello. I apologize if this has been answered on here already. It probably has, but I can't find the appropriate posts. When writing for The Rifter, are we permitted to use/copy material from existing Palladium books? For example, if I'd like to refer to a map that's in a World Book for an adventure ...

Perhaps I am blind... but what is the exact date of this event?

Having done that, I'm a bit surprised that it isn't more popular than it is, even if only among Palladium players. That was probably a combination of two things. The game came out at a time when everyone was doing we-are-the-monsters modern horror games (blame White Wolf), so it never had a chance ...

it is, but really, alot of people try to do diffirent things with it, when i ran my first long term nightbane campaign i tried to use tribes of the moon to flesh it out.

Last fall/winter I received the Nightbane core book in a Christmas grab bag. I never expected to really play it but I figured I'd at least flip through it.
