Having played E/c^2 Effect 2, and seeing his portrayal of the Illusive Man, I'd say that yeah he would be a very good choice.

Besides psionic powers and magic what power would be the best way to mind control someone? Would having the EO MA help the charcter in mind controlling them? Probably some sort of neural implant. As for EO MA, not if you damage the parts of the brain that grant willpower Or if you just totally bypa...

Considering that vamps are able to function at full power in the night, I'd say that nighttime UV is harmless to them. However, as you seem to be angling toward outerspace, Then you might want to add some damage to unprotected vamps outside of the Earth's atmosphere. But I'd make it just slightly m...

Ok, so during the Superhero tournament a few thoughts have come up based on things that could have happened. I love this whole tournament thing - it's forcing me to rethink how powers are used, and it's getting me familiar with stuff I haven't used before. But it's also bringing up stuff that I had...

I made a couple power tweaks: Invisibility makes you immune to laser weapons while it's on. Also, Negate Super Powers makes no sense (unless you're talking about magic), so I whipped up the following options : Negate Super Abilities (Bio-Manipulation Effect): This is the same effect as in the Heroes...

Pretty good, but it does seem a bit odd that only 10% of the characters in a given area would be from there (assuming you used the chart for all characters). Maybe call that the "International Chart" and have a small chart before that. Like this quick sample for Americans (you may wanna t...

Also this being a library of our future, it could be that they could in fact have jump from video media as well.......so that could give any number of characters like say Ethan Hunt from Mission Imopssible or as someone said earlier, Dirty Harry, or even better the the man with no name also played ...

How can anybody, having seen his recent "movies", ever think Michael Bay could do a RIFTS movie justice? I mean come on, the man is all about SFX and sweaty cleavage. No real acting involved. His idea of a great movie would be two hours of exploding sweaty cleavages and running, screaming...

Well of course. If it automatically succeeded, it wouldn't need a bonus

Anyone who knows the first thing about Rifts knows that the obvious choice for the main and secondary rolls would be a Headhunter and a Rouge Scholar. Think about it The latter played by Eddie Izzard? Actually, though I did think of that just as a rogue/rouge misspelling joke, he'd make for a good ...

Can't watch the vid yet, but is this the one where they tried for the whole episode to destroy a truck but it was still drivable at the end? If so, then yeah that is a masterpiece of engineering. Hell, at the end it looked like, well if there were such a thing as zombie trucks, they'd look like that...

I really think it would be awesome to have Hagan Lonovich be the main character of the movie, played by an older actor like Bruce Willis. Make the story center around him and ARCHIE and their fight with the Republicans. Along the way there are plenty of opportunities to describe and introduce encou...

Cool story. I have just one complaint.
The alien guy should have done some basic intel first and pick a name that's less obviously fake than "Irvin"

I'm curious as to how you came to this decision? I ask because we have a contradiction here. In the first statement you don't allow changes, but in the second you do. Although you are talking about subtractions and additions, they are all, incidentally, changes to the copy that can affect the origi...

Character Beta then mimics the flamer. Character prime then reabsorbs character beta. What happens? A: Character prime now has both...

You could in fact Mix (as is said sooooo very often) Water & Fire! Some smuck once argued that it couldn't be done because you're either "One or the Other", meaning you can't have "Mixed State" APS powers working together as you're either solid or liquid, you can't be both, ...

In the old Rifts Main Book it was one point of damage for every 10 feet, which is what I usually go by. I also usually use Kevin's common sense rules which he discusses every now and then. Just because your character has the SDC to survive something overtly traumatic (like throwing oneself on a gre...

Overlord Rikonius

Now that I think about it: in Rifts, by 2060 they had Cyberjack nural interfaces. At that point, there would be no more need for external interface of any kind: None of it would be as fast or easy as just sliding the cabel from your head to the box and seeing it all in your mind. If you have neural...

So the winning formula to hide form Dog Boys and & Psi-Stalkers out in the field is: Mask PSI & Psi, Mask PPE, Alter Aura, and/or Mind Block. Of course, at least two of those powers prevent the psychic from using any other powers, IIRC. Everything worthwhile comes with a trade-off. Sure, an...
