Cable Spider (Tier 2) With the invasion of any army comes one simple problem, how to get them to the battlefront. The bugs solve this easily with one of their own, a rare sub species called the Cable Spider. They are easily distinguishible by the fact that it walks on eight legs. This, along with ad...

I will be running my first Systems Failure game in two weeks My game group asked me what this game was and i told them its a horror/survival game like Dead Reign, but instead of zombies, its huge alien bugs bent on world domination/destruction Has anyone else run a Systems Failure game? How was it?...

Never happen. RP'ers are known for being completists. They know that "Rifts World Book 137: The Island on the Left" will sell, so why push something that may or may not? I think that's why Warpath and Modern RECON haven't happened. In order to get good one shots (like Splicers and System F...

Killapede (Tier 1) An offspring of the Stink Bug, the lowly Killapede is thought to be a mutation of the Silk Worm. Unlike its smaller kin, the Killapede does not need a host to survive, instead surviving on its own. They keep their grub like appearance, but grow to a horrific six feet in length an...

Fire Fly (Tier 2) The smallest of the “true” bugs (not counting Silkworms or Grosshoppers), the Fire Fly is a true bane to humans everywhere. As sadistic as Killer Bees, the Fire Fly has the greatest psychological weapon of all of the bugs. With its faintly glowing abdomen like that of native firef...

Sure, I can post a few more Scarab Tank Beetle (Tier 3) The Eggheads thought the Bombardier Beetle was a fearsome foe and the heavy assault unit of the bug army. Then word began to spread about another, larger and much more dangerous beetle. It was believed to be folklore at first, until the first c...

Since there was never any actual leadership for the bugs and it was to the GM's discretion, I decided that the "Queen Bee" would not be with the initial force and would follow with reinforcements in an idea I had for a SF game not long ago, where Norad and the bug hunters were starting to ...

If you want minor, Lightning Reflexes is always handy and so is Instant Weapons to hide the characters toys.

they already had soemthing like this? .. well .. so much for originality then ... dang .... like there isn't duplicity in Rifts already... And this one is more challenging than the Treasure hunter to play because they aren't spell chuckers. So they'd have to rely on skill instead of magic. Nice job...

In a pbp game I'm running, there's a wide assortment of characters and NPC's ( something like 50 all total so far). Although it hasn't occured yet, there are several chances for players to face npc's with opposing powers (fire/ice, water/electricity, etc). I'm considering using some form of bonus/pe...

RL- Savage 99E .308 winchester lever action with a 4x12 wide angle scope. Put plenty of venison in the deep freeze with this old girl. Rifts- Wilk's 237 "Back ups" or HI-10 Heavy laser pistols. Not the best choices available, but they get the job done. Munchkin- Nothing says "Have a nice day" like a...

The Amalgam series was pretty good and I remember a Batman/Punisher that I liked, but I can't remember the title. But I mainly read Marvel titles. The Xecutioner's Agenda, a 12 part X-Men/ Uncanny X-Men/ X-Factor/ X-Force series was probably the best single company crossover series I've read.

Depends on what char I am using. I will list for my top few PC's Derek Stormcrow (Cyber Knight): if he was in Lazlo's area he would prolly join the bug hunt if he was in Tolkeen he would aid in refugees and innocents since he is loyal to Coake. Shakar (True Atlantean Astral Mage) He would likely ha...

To think that SW style Blasters might become reallity will be a boost to all you SW nuts...errrr I mean fans. They won't be true SW style blasters until they make the appropriate sounds, and shoot whatever it is they shoot at *far* less than anything approaching relativistic speeds, though. Not to ...

If I'm not mistaken, the Queenston Harbour pirates in the Coalition Navy Sourcebook also use Kisenite weapons. Might be where you saw them.

You need to check out 'All Flesh Must Be Eaten' by Eden Press. It's a pure zombie game, with ideas for what cause the zombies in the first place a point based system to determine zombie abilities[like level of contagion, speed, vulnerabilities, etc] and multiple zombie scenarios. I'm pretty sure yo...

I tend to mix up the MD weapons for my characters, but when it comes to a SDC backup, I almost always seem to give them either Colt Python .357 magnum or a Desert Eagle .50AE, depending on which WP they have.

I think we need a "Players Handbook (a book filled of OCC's and RCC's)" You mean Encyclopedia? naw. he means bought out by a cataloging company & retooled into something that, while called Rifts, would be a fundamentally different game to placate the influx of infants the complain that the whol...

Yeah, and I think the idea got trashed as soon as it made the Coming Soon list

Still, I'd be nice to have. Either Scotland or another trashed idea, Underseas 2.

Here's an idea I can up while watching "The Jackal" while trying to come up with a good villian for a game: Supersoldier, "Shroud" Super Abilities : Chameleon (comes with Adhesion), Life Sense, and Instant Weapons (Dragunov SVD sniper rifle).

Although I'm partial to the Space Wolfen, I'd have to give the nod to the Necron. They make great recurring villians in an ongoing PW campaign. (plus they remind me alot of the Yuuzhan Vong from the ESWU

Oh, wait, the Battle Cat was miscreant? Feel free to kill him any time. Didn't anyone ever tell you not to attack poor woodland creatures? I think Bob hit the nail on the head. Let the other players deal with it. Just remember though that the shifter's player will likely attempt some measure of ret...

I just got it yesterday and have to read it again, but it seems like a good addition to Rifts NA. It could have stood a little more polish and artwork, but great job nonetheless Todd.

So what's next?

Wormwood seems to be a dead world. That is to say that the folk's at PB have desided not to expand on it any further. It's a real shame too. I always thought it needed a bit more story line. No kidding. If Phase World can get a whole string of books, then they should come out with Wormwood vol.2 . ...

Phase World mainbook (Dimension Book 2), pg. 44 under the Racial Breakdown of Naruni Enterprises.

Now that I've seen the Molocks, i'm kinda glad I missed them before.

Now that I finally got it and had a chance to peruse it, I'd have to say it's a decent little book. It has a nice mix of new tech, without catering to the hoards of drooling munchkins awaiting it's arrival. I especially liked the new "Spit fire " racing bike and look foward to them expanding the con...

my coolest character is a 5th level Sim Bloodletter named Foster McCoy. I've had him since Manhunter came out and he kicked ass all over the Three Galaxies. But my fav alltime wasn't Rifts. Lt.

It's a pretty cool concept, but I agree with Ecksey on the questionable combination of explosive/ramjet rounds. Another drawback you didn't address is that a firearm like this would have a horrendous report, which would make it impractical in many sniper situations. It's a good idea, but I'll stick ...

True Atlanteans are immune to all forms of transformation, but the Cosmic Forge has godlike powers that could conceivably overrride such factors.
