back of ninja and Superspies is where that conversation is depicted. Page 161 in the game master section And the innkeeper says at the end that the fluent nihongo speaking traveler doesn't speak Japanese. ACK! I was so sure it was Chinese! And the info I was looking for follows after, which means I...

Hello, all! I am trying to do some research for some game/writing material, and there is a very specific excerpt from a book that I am quite sure came from one of the modern Palladium titles. Problem is, I cannot find said excerpt, and I'm hoping that the details I provide can help get an answer. In...

Dark_Lightning

some good ideas here. so, it's acceptable to already give a character bio/personality description/etc. for such games? i had planned to let them do that themselves, but if it saves time, how would one go about outlining such? so far, my partner and myself have been lucky enough to have experienced p...

Dark_Lightning

howdy, folks! i am quickly approaching the time for another con, and i'd like some tips or a tried-and-true formula for creating Palladium pre-gens. i have ideas as to how i want to go about doing certain things, but how does one just get the basic pre-gen put together for the other players? i'll be...

Dark_Lightning

got mine yesterday. been reading it since.

Dark_Lightning

anybody out there in the Megaverse have an up to date GM screen, possibly one that encompasses all the saves and whatnot from the Palladium Megaverse, that they can toss at me? thanks!

Dark_Lightning

wow...there's some pretty heavy stuff in here! i really like the Bore Worm concept, and the tactical possibilities it has. keep up the good work!

Dark_Lightning

still working on stuff. hope no one's given up on me!!!

Dark_Lightning

To tell you the truth this would come in very handy in many different aspects of my involvment with this game, being able to use a table creation of a house would give my short story some interesting small houses that have a unique niche in the community. Being able to create small or large houses ...

Dark_Lightning

alrighty, then. i'll see what i can pull off. it'll take some time, but the basics will be: Size of the House Level of security Medical capacity and so on. i'm also going to include a general listing of their Splicer tech, i.e.: no unique tech of their own, some new developments, or unique, highly s...

Dark_Lightning

actually, my house is House Titus. it is the originator of the Tsunami Squad O.C.C., the Aquatic Host Armor, and two new War Mounts.

actually, i plan on modifying the Merc company tables to make a House for Splicers. anyone interested?

Dark_Lightning

the way i had understood the back story was this: As Splicer tech was being developed, the Resistance started to gain in numbers. in the early days, there may have been a few thousand humans left and presented a unified front against the Machine. however, over time, the numbers swelled. the leaders ...

Dark_Lightning

i haven't been on here in a long while, but i was just talking to a friend of mine about those similarities. And i do agree with slappy, though with splicers there is more of a sense of hopelessness since humanity, in a way, is limited in how they can combat the threat...whereas skynet never conciev...

Dark_Lightning

From what I gathered, the nano-plague infests the body upon birth and is often the major thing that helps keep the population down. Plus, because the nanites are advanced, yet simple, the Machine couldn't command them to kill everyone. Chances are (in my way of thinking), the nanties would have only...

Dark_Lightning

I really like the re-write for the Cyber-Knights. I'm also fond of the Quick-Flex Aliens.

Dark_Lightning

i drew up the vast majority of the tw weapons about 5 years ago. i never took the time to refine them and add/take away certain details and aspects. for the most part, i put them up here just to be a participant and to just throw some ideas around.

Dark_Lightning

tw Quake Cannon: This cannon combines the devastating spells of Firequake and Shockwave to produce an excellent anti-robot/anti-tank/anti-dragon weapon. weight:60lbs. Damage: 4d6 from the shockwave, followed by a 3d6*5 firequake to a 20 ft. radius. Rate of fire: Single shots only. Range:1000 ft. Pay...

Dark_Lightning

TW Meteor Bomb: The meteor bomb is an excellent weapon to use against massive targets or several smaller targets. As soon as the bomb is launched, it becomes a screaming meteor that falls at great speeds, giving targets a -3 to dodge the incoming bomb. weight:20 lbs. damage: 6d6*10 to a 40 ft. radiu...

Dark_Lightning

Heh heh heh grenades that crawl after the target, thats gotta suck to see a swarm of them comeing after yah nice stuff. yeah...sadly, all this was written without the core rules book and all at work...and improvised!!! i advise anyone and everyone to make needed changes. more to come later.

Dark_Lightning

Corroder Bore Gun Knowing that the common field weapons that Splicers use on a daily basis can get "bore-ing", the Librarians and Engineers came up with a new bore rifle. Instead of just chewing it's way through, this new grub eats up to 10 lbs. of inorganic material, only to shortly explode, spewin...

Dark_Lightning

dude, i'm printing this puppy out and putting it into my Splicer gaming folder! top freakin' notch!

Dark_Lightning

pretty. i would actually imagine it being a versatile, variable rifle that can use s.d.c. as well as m.d. ammo. but, what are the palladium rules to sniping shots? i never figured that out.

Dark_Lightning

though Tarnow gets a bit of a mention in Mindwerks, i feel that if it does fall, it won't be without a big freakin' fight. Because of that Crystal, they have war machines that are made of semi-precious and non-precious metals that are turned in m.d. items. this allows them to have a 500 m.d. tank wi...

Dark_Lightning

TW Quagmire grenades: These no damage, yet insidious grenades, in the hands of a clever person, can be fairly useful. They can be thrown onto a windshield to cover/semi-cover it, making piloting difficult. On sensors, they get blocked out. Armor helmets are blinded, and so on. Damage: n/a Radius: co...

Dark_Lightning

things are going a bit slow at the moment, but i'll try to have them up soon.

Dark_Lightning

i bought CE rather recently along with the other books that goes with it. i was and am rather impressed with how the desparation of survival just goes into overdrive. Even NEMA can't stave off the hordes. I always wanted to know just how the 2nd Dark Age progresses into what we know as Rifts Earth. ...

Dark_Lightning

my usual threat is "you stub your toe on a stone. take 10,000 md!". but really, if the p.c. has a weapon that's all too powerful sand see's too much use, i'd set up a situation where the weapon is lost, loses power, gets destroyed, etc. if the character himself is all too powerful, i'd let a god/ess...

Dark_Lightning

i had an argument with a guy once when he stated that a high powered energy weapon will always do the trick. sometimes, a low powered laser pistol can make a difference, especially if you're taking potshots at power armor joints or killing off light m.d. critters that keep invading food sources(use ...

Dark_Lightning

force fields would not hinder magic casting. in game terms, any offensive, projectile spell wouldn't be hindered since it is escaping the field rather than approaching. on another note, one of the Rifter issues (i think 21 or 23) has stats for special armor that can be worn for magic o.c.c.'s withou...

Dark_Lightning

i plan on posting some TW stuff using blade magic found in Rifter #23 and Shadow magic found in another Rifter as well as Library of Bletherad. If you want them as soon as I make 'em, drop me a line.

Dark_Lightning

i would never kill her simply because her appearances have often had a huge impact in a game i'm playing or g.m.'ing. besides, killing her would only earn the killer more animosity than he/she really needs. imagine if you killed her in full view of the titan juicers and heavy 'borgs she just got don...

Dark_Lightning

I personally liked the Spirit West book, mostly for new O.C.C's. However, I was dissappointed with Dimension Book: The Three Galaxies. Way too vague at some points, and it seemed that the writer went at things half-assed.

Dark_Lightning

In a contest, one of my PC's (a sea titan) fought the Demon of Splynn and recieved a bunch of creds and a pair of Dragon Rune Rods. In a much older campaign, a character won Vagan's Hook. It was rather nifty.

Dark_Lightning

Wow, this is a long thread!! I had no idea that my post would generate this much of a heated debate. Nevertheless, I did some looking and found out that Gilgamesh's Flame Blade in a part of the puzzle. Thanx for all the info...and hilarity.

Dark_Lightning

Sadly, I only have a few characters capable of Astral combat. However, if defeating the astral form could somehow weaken the LotD, that can help. Plus, I believe that some weapons severely hinder his regenerating abilities. Especially Millenium Tree items. Maybe a big torpedo loaded with M.T. shrapn...

Dark_Lightning

No, it wouldn't. The harness was for allowing people to carry much heavier weapons than their bodies would allow. Protoculture was a quasi-living substance that was responsible for the insanely agile abilities of the mecha, so the only thing any sort of cyber interface would is simply limit the los...

Dark_Lightning

In my game, that's how it had to be done. Not even characters with Mechano-link could figure out the protoculture or means to use it. Therefore, it was extracted. Now, near as I can guess, wouldn't a cyber harness help with full mecha mobility? (Harness as seen in Rifts: Warlords)

Dark_Lightning

That is about what I figured. Though, since the Necros are so easy to make and use, I would think that sheer numbers would overwhelm any opposing Splicers.

Dark_Lightning

1 Transformable Vehicles 2 NO MINMIE 3 Transfomable Vehicles 4 No Zentraedi 5 Transfomable Vehicles 6 No Rick Hunter...that will leave Lisa all to me! HAHAHAHA Though I see what your saying, maybe Kevin should adapt a game based off MASK. He did it with TMNT and Robotech, so whay not? Maybe an exte...

Dark_Lightning

Even if you can't locate protoculture, using a neuro-link and powering the mecha with a fusion or nuke engine could really help, and the link would give the pilot a few bonuses.

Just post under a different name. Like armor based off the Hulk could be "Ultra Infantry", and Predator could be "Arsenal Proto-Armor"...or something to that effect.

Dark_Lightning

And with the Rooks being mobile, that doesn't help, either. Now, can they also summon Necrobots and 'borgs to them as well? Or just the usual 'bots?

Dark_Lightning

Gee, I sure hope so. I get influences for new weapons, equipment, and r.c.c's from the shows and games I get involved in.

Dark_Lightning

how about a Hulk armor, or perhaps something similar to the Predator?

Dark_Lightning

I had someone with a power food association...only it was Gwylak meat.

Dark_Lightning

I will type up a crapload of stuff for ya, Nimmy. I plan on making quite a few sourcebook-like entries....maybe the Kev himself will like.

Dark_Lightning

A good friend of mine, fello G.M., and creator of his own RPG found me a copy of TMNT &Other Strangeness at...you guessed, Half Life...ahem...Price Books. This thing is still in good condition, minus some wrinkles. So, among other things, beware of possible story ideas from me, the noob.

Dark_Lightning

Just make it easier on yourselves and transplant Splicer tech to Rifts. I know there will be a time when I'll do it myself.

Dark_Lightning

When I ran that campaign last summer, different members of the party joined up with NPC characters and did a seek and destroy, divide and whoop ass plan. It ultimately suceeded...even got someone to put up a barrier to prevent Death from escaping after his friends were demolished. A few of the prize...

Dark_Lightning

I really like the Biomancy Elves from S. America. They can create what they need from nature itself...no need to find a depot to get ammo for the new Naruni gun! I also like the Cyberai alot.
