It's called "The Breetai Effect". He's so cool that everyone wants to hide one of their eyes in a wannabe fashion statement. Look at B.D./T.R. Edwards.

I'm not necessarily contemplating a new O.C.C. The nomadic tribes are meant to be NPC's only. I don't intend on giving any player character the ability to make these special items though a GM may allow them to learn the trade. I may or may not include some new skills like trapping. I don't want to m...

I have an idea for an article for the Rifts and Fantasy settings that I'd like to see if anyone is interested in. It's about demon/monster-hide leatherworking (mainly but not limited for armor). This trade is held secret by nomadic tribes in both settings. They take and can make leather items from t...

I think I'm having a similar block, but in reverse. I have the concept down fairly well, I just don't have any stats. To me the stats are the drudgery of writing in most cases. What I end up doing is writing the concept out to explain it. Then I've got to put the undescribed stats to it. I use a tem...

zor_prime1

I agree and practice what's already been said. I just take brainstorming notes leaving no idea behind. If I find that I can't think about it any more, I leave it and work on something else, or don't work on anything else for a few days. I will come back to the notes and add, merge or remove ideas as...

To get around this an other silliness, like a juicer attacking 3-4 times at the end of a melee while everyone else watches, my group tried the Splice Attack house rule that was posted on the boards awhile ago. Ever heard of it? .... Anyone else try it? I invented it! I'm glad it's being put to good...

http://www.askyewolfe.com/I-4-Dead-Zone.html The "Dead Zone" of Interstate-four is emerging as the most popular Central Florida haunting legend. This section of I-4 is located at the south end of the Interstate-four bridge over the St. Johns River in Seminole County. The so-called Dead Zo...

Rifter #38 - Darkvare can destroy a vampire in two fashions. They natually hunt undead... read it.

zor_prime1

Whew. I went to go look at the rules in the book but couldn't find the book anywhere. And I thought I was going mad because I remembered having it. It turns out that I loaned it out.

zor_prime1

Dang these are cool!

Are you using the TMNT conversion rules or other rules found somewhere? If so, where? (I won't spill your thunder, I promise)

zor_prime1

Quick question regarding the two games:

I own both the original TMNT game and ATB revised edition. I did enjoy the rules in TMNT on how to take any animal and show how it can be mutated. Does ATB or any other game have these rules reprinted from the TMNT main book?

zor_prime1

I don't have the RUE book in front of me. But what might help make sense is to look at the original rule and see if the RUE is a remake of that rule. In the original book, you could shoot down a missile volley with either a gun or another missile/missile volley. A volley being defined as two or more...

I am in the process of writing RIFTER material for Chaos Earth and to me, a bit part is knowing why the landmarks and pockets of survivors were there in the first place. It helps me to make sense of things and write things that are consistent. I'm sure Jason does that too. I suspect that he'll throw...

zor_prime1

I soooooo wish I could go to the open house... Finances and supporting a family prevent me from justifying the cost of the flight. Single income family = not much money for big wants. Anyway, I'm really excited to see this book Jason! I want to start writing Chaos Earth more, but I want to see how y...

zor_prime1

Thanks everyone. I found that information in the book. Looks like I need to reread it.

Happy Holidays!

zor_prime1

Here is an idea that I have, but I'm not sure whether or not it has been done before: With metal attacking flesh and distorting itself in order to do so, would it be possible to have an armor generate a projectile that was a sticky flesh? The flesh would be launched onto a robot made of metal. When ...

I myself am a big fan of the game series. Even though I've never used the characters in my games, I have used the game for inspiration for some of my campaigns.

I'd love to see it as a Palladium RPG.

zor_prime1

That sounds like a great idea. I'd love to see it!

zor_prime1

So many fond memories.

Robotech is what introduced me to Palladium. So please, yes. I'd love to see them back in print with updates and new material.

zor_prime1

Here are my thoughts on the subject: a) The librarians should already be infected with the nanites. They can't touch metal either as far as I know. The problem is that what would they use to study them? b) Actually, they would need to find out how small they actually are. The nanites would likely be...

zor_prime1

In an article I wrote for Chaos Earth that I submitted last year made mention of a penitentiary that housed Golden Age villians who abused the abilities that they gained from technology. These could have been abilities caused by anything from genetic alterations to inventors. I left it open for the ...

zor_prime1

I'm surprised no one commented about this. I think it's cool. I don't visit this board much so this is the first time I've seen it.
I'm not playing a splicer game so I can't test it out.

zor_prime1

Looks like Rifter #20 is scheduled to have some.

zor_prime1

to see any Splicers articles in the near future in the Rifters? Has anyone sent any in yet? Is anyone getting close to finishing them up? I've seen some great write-ups on the board here. I'm almost done with one (actually two separate, unrelated parts) for Splicers. Hopefully it will be good enough...

zor_prime1

Very original! I like it! It would make for a good Rifter submission.

zor_prime1

Well, I'll give it a shot: 1) There are two ways that N.E.X.U.S. can control the robots. The first is that they can all be coordinated together. It's as if all the machines, regardless of type, know what the next target is so they work in unison. The N.E.X.U.S. knows everything they know and can mak...

zor_prime1

Voted! Congrats Carmen!

I posted this in a similar thread, but I think that the old movie 'Big Trouble in Little China' would be fun. It wasn't horrific or anything, but it was fun and a way to utilize the setting. I could see how that setting could easily become horrific. Chinatown gangs working for an undead master and h...

zor_prime1

One movie that I thought of that is a perfect reflection (IMO) of the BTS world is Big Trouble in Little China. Here we have a truck driver, Jack Burton, who is a no nonsense kind of guy (played by Kurt Russel). He happens upon a supernatural underworld plot to bring a great evil back to life. He ha...

Has anyone read 'The Soul Tree' fot BTS in Rifter 28? I've never played the game and I want to know how well it fit into this setting, or any other feedback.

Thanks

zor_prime1

Check out this latest Rifter (#28 ) for the article called the Soul Tree. I sort of created a new O.C.C./R.C.C. that's kind of temporary because the abilities are granted by the Soul Tree. It's feasible that any character of any class can take the chance to strike a bargain with the tree. Again, it'...

zor_prime1

I'm pretty much in the same situation. I'm running a Rifts game that everyone is enjoying and has invested a lot in. I do think Chaos Earth would be really fun to play.

zor_prime1

Borast, It sounds like you've got the opposite problem as me. You've got too many ideas and I've got barely enough. I'm good at building ideas and detailing them, but the inspiration is sometimes hard to come by. Other times it just hits me. (I even had one nightmare end up as inspiration for an art...

zor_prime1

My submission for Chaos Earth is in. I've already talked to Wayne and I know that he has it and has looked it over. He liked the concept that I proposed, but I haven't heard anything since then. We'll see if he likes the whole thing.

Currently I'm not working on anything.

I need to get on it.

zor_prime1

Welcome Matt!

I'm crossing my fingers that there will be one in the Rifter soon...

The latest Rifter (#26) contained my article called fleas. It's a little bit of what you were looking for. Basically the small fleas latch to the bugs to drink from them in either energy form or physical form. The encounter can cause sickness or even mutation. Since the bugs don't tolerate any mutat...

You could always do the ol' "28 days later" (the movie) setting... That's gotta be a creepy thing. The people with the virus are just wild animals raging out of control. If you get the virus (passed on by the infected hurling blood into your eyes, mouth or nose), then you'll be affected in a matter ...

zor_prime1

Aha, yet another use for the 'Fleas' article in Systems Failure in #26. In it, I included dry ice bombs, balloon launchers, conductor traps and other simple weapons for spreading the fleas. Now if you could put a flea in water or glass tube inside a paintball, you could have a more accurate weapon w...

zor_prime1

Anyone read the article yet? If so, what do you think about it?

I have yet to get my copy in the mail yet.

zor_prime1

I'm not sure what I can tell you about the fleas for Systems Failure. I hope you all like them. Mike is pretty much on with what they are. There are a couple of reasons why humans shouldn't ignore them. They are dangerous to both humans and bugs, but not equally or in the same manner. They will beco...
