Is there anything written about how the Minion War has affected the Greek God Hades and his domain? According to Pantheons Hades has a realm that borders all the other Demon Lords areas, but nothing is written about him (as far as I'm aware) in the Hades Dimension Book. His realm isn't even describe...

So one of my players has chosen to play as a Techno-Wizard, and this is going to be my first time GMing with a TW in the group. So my question for you all is how do you handle the creation times? I like the new rules and how everything is fleshed out but I hate how long it takes just to put even a (...

I know this post is a few months old but I was going through Dragons & Gods and read through about Vald-Tegor, whose realms supposedly has a sun that "does not shine, but instead glimmers a dull, red light easily borne by the most sensitive vampire." (Dragons & Gods, pg. 127.) So t...

You could always use the more traditional vampires from the Rifter #49. They were created for the Nightbane setting but I personally like them a lot more. Rifts vampires are cool and all but having the more traditional blood sucker not connected to some alien intelligence is way more flavorful in my...

most (all?) flying power armour is extremely expensive. that's why. you can make a (somewhat less impressive) airplane for a lot less, because they're shaped like a thing that should fly. making a power armour fly is somewhat like making a brick fly, if you decided to use the least aerodynamic orie...

SlaytheDragon

Who needs an airplane when you have a suit of power armor, slightly larger than a man that are vastly more maneuverable than any actual airplane? With VTOL capabilities, a load of armaments from mini-missiles to rail guns, and the fact that a slightly larger than man-sized target is already incredib...

Enchant Weapons power categories need more than just weapons of order/chaos. Expand the categories to include elemental weapons, weapons geared towards specific deities, etc., much like they did when they updated the Shifter's link to the supernatural in the RUE. Each specific type could have certai...

I would love to go! Unfortunately I'll be out of the country during that time, I do think it's a great idea though and I hope it pans out. It would be a good time to introduce others to the game, and would help get the Splicers name out there. Maybe by then there will be a sourcebook or two as well...

SlaytheDragon

So this is something I've started working on, and probably will be for the upcoming future. It adds a little more techno flavor to the game, while still trying to maintain that spice that is Splicers. Here's a little bit of the story that I've written up, and I'll be posting the O.C.C.s and anything...

More N.E.X.U.S. forces have been discovered and documented! Check it out and see what you think guys!

Comments and criticisms are ...

I am currently writing a Splicers adventure. Our heroes must infiltrate a variety of underground access areas to destroy a NEXUS core. Then it dawned on me if they players had to cross any sort of metal grating or metal flooring it would essentially become an impassable barrier on foot even if they...

I would like to see all the Rifters Splicer stuff collected for a sourcebook at least. Am i the only one ?? Heck no you aren't the only one! I fully support a sourcebook gathering together all the related Splicers articles. Honestly that would be something that could be done for all the Megaverse s...

Some of the dead are added to the Gene-pool and the Engineer adds their bio-mass to the next generation of Host Armor and the like via the Reapers.

Wanna know their secret? The Machine bores them. Fighting cold steel has no honor behind it, it is a duty one must perform, but it's like taking out the trash. Unsavory. Pitting yourself against another living, breathing, person? That is true battle. The only true way to earn ones place in Valhalla...

We’d had plenty of time to prepare. We knew they were coming, but it didn’t change anything. Their representative even told us they were coming, that they wanted nothing other than to pit their mettle against ours. We had never seen the likes, a massive host armor with bloody crows perched on these...

probably they stuck with dogs for the same reason the CS uses mostly dog boys in spite of the fact that other animals could add an interesting variety of abilities. domestic dogs can easily accept a human as the leader of the pack. they are not a completely alien intelligence like colony insects, b...

m and GO! There definitely needs to be more to the packmaster. Honestly there should be like a monster tamer/controller.

So many new concepts have been added to the Splicers on this forum. I thought it only fitting that N.E.X.U.S. be expanded upon as well. I plan on making quite a few more of the Machine's forces as well as writing concepts on each of the Machine's personalities too. This robot is just a concept I cam...

Love the DNA sequencing! Good idea. I have been thinking if I added anything text wise it would be RPG is smaller letters underneath SPLICERS. But then less is more. I'm glad you like the idea! In my opinion I think you should just leave it as just the word "Splicers". It's simple, looks ...

I'm glad everyone likes the Guardsman! Thanks for the feedback. Anyway here is what I have for a Mortar System. I tried to keep to the difficulty of getting an indirect fire weapon on target, while keeping with a good usable role in game. To me it seems the Splicers have very little long range weapo...

That logo is awesome, and I agree a good logo is needed. Maybe add like a DNA Sequence turned horizontal to the top and bottom of the logo, like the way it fell on the shirt it would give a border around the word. Like this is a DNA sequence. Turn one of the strands on its side and use that to outli...

Well, my inspiration for them would come from how standard Marine Corps infantry are used today. They would be broken down from Divisions to Regiments to Battalion to Companies, and from there into the standard 3, 39 man platoons, broken into 3 squads of 13 men, in addition to a specialized weapons ...

What if the Nightlords have developed Time Traveling technology or magics of some sort, and have replaced various figure heads from history with Doppelgangers, in some twisted scheme to alter the fabric of time so that the Nightlords may benefit??

While I am very impressed by the myriad of unique O.C.C.s their are to play in Splicers, there weren't any just general grunts.

I cannot wait to see the artwork of the Reaper O.C.C. The class definitely sets the gruesome tone of the war against the Machine, and having to use the dead to ensure the living have a chance of surviving. I wish I could have gone to gencon but alas, work always gets in the way.
