During an interstellar chase: GM 'They're gaining on you!" Player 'I cast Full Throttle' GM 'Who in the party is strapped in?' During a murder mystery just before the victim is murdered by gas. GM 'Do you have to breathe?' Player gulp, 'yes' GM 'The rest of the party hears a loud THUNK' Same mu...

UWW book please, oh pretty please.

The best mage in the rifter, optional cat., be the card mage. (not the trickster mage.) Worst... the laser mage. Oh.... for got the "Cargo magic" mage...... er... nah that one is plan stupid.... not even worth mentioning as magic. At least the laser mage has magic who's PPE costs are in l...

Thanks. I love the ideas. I'll have to look them up and pick up the back issues.

Flick

I wasn't much of a Rifter fan at first but I'm beginning to realize just how much great material I've missed and would like to have your opinions about what are the best back issues that I should pick up. Mainly, I'm on a magic kick on and love Rifts magic and mages. So what Rifters do you think wou...

I really don't think a swimsuit issue is a good idea period. Adults can put adult themes in our role playing games if we want totally on our own. We are, after all, adults. Keeping the material G or PG rated is the best method in my opinion. I like being able to share my Palladium books with my son ...

Flick

Thanks DhAkael! Elvish ships of light and magic do sound pretty cool. The problem would be making stats that live up to it.

Flick

You said you like the hack and slash as well as a mage. For a wizzard I'd go with a Ley line walker and enjoy something pretty familiar but with a few twists. A cyber knight is a great hack and slash character, especially the modified RUE book verision. If you stick with humans for both you should a...

Flick

I'd say yes. $100 to $110 american is what you'd pay brand new for that set so where is this store that I can pick up some of that stuff too?

Flick

Thanks for the information. Does this rare metal happen to be the Germanium (spelling?) that has been refered to in the Three galaxies book?

Flick

I don't have all of the SOT books but I noticed the Ring of Eldar and thought it was quite interesting. Some of the wording made me think that it might be one of many but I couldn't tell from the Final Seige description. Would someone fill me in?

Thanks!

Flick

I would have to agree with the previously mentioned ideas that trying to put stats on God (yes I am a Christian so I remembered that the G is capital) would be diffiuclt at best. The Greek gods work rather well since they are a pantheon with a focus on something specific like Apollo is the sun god o...

Try a True Atlantean Sea Inquisitor with the Burster Powers who was the subject of a psionic power boost by the Gene Splicers and packs a crystal fire rod with the warlock fire spells option. The scariest combination equals a 20X super fuel flamed wheel of fire doing a max just shy of 2000MD. (Unles...

Flick

Thank you for the specific review. It's always hard to evaluate a book by the shorts given out by any publisher but you have provided enough data for me to go out and buy one. (In fact it's killing me to wait for payday!) The spell casting changes alone would do it for me but it sounds like everythi...

Most folks have said the main reason for playing Rifts is the choices and I say they are right! You want to play something like a Jedi go for it! You want something like Merlin, here he is! You want to really role play an insignificant nobody you have that too. Then there is the fact that you can pl...

Flick

I like the Phaze world setting and would like to have more of everything but some specific things would be as follows. 1. TW ships that are worthy of the elves. ie fanciful things made as much as works of art as anything. 2. Standardized TW armors and weapons. 3. More noro psychic type armors/equipm...

I personally think the best way to recharge an e-clip in the wilds is to have a wizard of some sort in the party with Sub-particle accelleration. This spell can recharge e-clips quite well. The bow is a little cheesy and I do go with the earlier opinion that someone watched the D&D cartoon a lit...

Flick

I read the specifics on the press release and am excited. I loved what they did with HU and PF. Each is not perfect but is a definate improvement on the previous edition and packed with new stuff to keep old players interested and fewer errors/confusing points to help new players understand what was...

Flick

Personally I love the Megaverse builder and would say go buy it if you are like me. What I mean by this is that you have to like Shifters and dimensional traveling for your campaign. If you are a tech kind of player/GM who plays exclusively on Rifts earth then look elsewhere because there is nothing...

Flick

I've tried gaming on line a few times but each time it took hours and was not very satisfying. There is so much storytelling done through your voice and the facial expressions of people as they figure out something (or realize how badly they messed up) can be priceless. Definately use the gamers loo...

Flick

Just remember that they are adding about 100 extra pages. I hope they use them to add most of the variant OCC and character expansions that were in later books, like the city rat, cyber knight, etc but with only 100 extra pages they can't give us everything we want only a lot of it. I would love to ...

My favorite 2 things about the burster were #1 see in smoke #2 super fuel flame. Super fuel flame is truly evil just remember to never let her get her hands on a Crystal Fire Rod otherwise you'll have to throw a God or another burster against her to stop her. Super fuel flame on the Flame Dagger Tw ...

It's 10:00 at night and you hear a loud voice commanding "Pick on someone your own size fang boys" The alley nearby is suddenly light up as if a small bonfire started somewhere around the corner. A rather playful sea inquisitor with burster powers was taking on a group of 4 secondary vampires before...

Thanks for the tip on the Space spells guys. Carl's specific ones will eventually show up somewhere but till then we'll just have to make due. I can still have a little fun playing a star elf with an extremely logical outlook a hand scanner and a line like 'live long and prosper' for a couple of goo...

Flick

Doom, according to the Three Galaxies (which also says these spells will be on this web site) the space spells should be in Rifer #23. By the way Carl, nice work on the three galaxies overall. So far my favorite items are the portable scanners . It may be that I've watched too much of that one space...

Flick

At least I know I can still find these spells in a rifter but the question I now have for those of you with this rifter is are they worth it? I've been avoiding the rifter because there isn't much I find in there for me. A new section of magic that could apply to a space theme seems pretty interesti...

Flick

I was reading through the Three Galaxies book and it referenced Space magic that is supposed to be somewhere on this web site. Is this something that never made it up or am I just unable to find them? Could I get a little help from you all?

Thanks,

Personally I would love to play a Pneuma Biform dolphin in Heros Unlimited as an attraction at an aquarium like Sea World. Imagine performing tricks by day and fighting crime by night. It just sounds like too much fun. I do agree that most of these characters are very limited in their ability to be ...

Flick

Thank you for all the good input. It sounds like a magic junkie like me will have to pick it up for the new magic OCCs.

Flick

I'd have to say be very clear about what you want and present it in order of importance. I have done so for the last four years and have always ended up with a great value and had a lot of fun. It's kind of like being a kid at Christmas waiting to see what Santa brought. The one year with the Rifts ...

Flick

This is a pretty straight forward question. Is the Vanguard book worth picking up? I'm a bit of a magic junkie for the Rifts series so when it talks about a secret group of mages in the Coalition I read that as possibly having new magic classes and spells but it never clarifies if that is true. What...

Flick

I love giving characters weapons that fit their personalities so things vary a lot. Bursters (or fire warlocks) just have to get a plasma cartrige pistol for the sheer fun of it. (No I don't super fuel flame the cartridges but it does sound like a fun thing to try at least once .) Stealthy or classy...

Flick

My most amusing character was a True Atlantean Burster. He seriously abused the super fuel flame power on a crystal fire rod. He was also a mild pyromaniac. Everything went boom! He was kind of fun for a munchkin character. My poor GM had an adventure where he was supposed to be captured. It took ov...

Flick

I think everyone missed the Psyscape reference to this ability being subject to GM approval. A burster packing a Crystal Fire Rod is a serious menace and super fuel flaming a 12th level 10 foot fire wheel is a very possible result. It sounds like many GMs decided to limit this ability, and rightly s...

Flick

Dan, I just want to encourage you in your efforts. When I first saw that the UWW was going to be a full book (as well as Naruni, China, and a couple of others) I thought Kevin had just read my wish list for future books. The fact that some were a little delayed is disappointing but hearing about you...

Flick

You all gave me some good imput. I appreciate it and will indulge my craving for a new book.

Live long and prosper all.

Hi group. This is my first post so I'll get right to the point. I couldn't find a review of the Three Galaxies book and was wondering if one has been written? I'm thinking of buying it and always like to make an informed decision so please help me out here. Thanks, Flick Long time Rifts and Heros ju...
