Not that I know of; at least not by me. Some of the material for the TJ book is on the forum here, usually as a sneak preview of some sort. Blood and Iron was 100% completed and submitted for publication. Underworlds was in the "spitballing" process, with a rough outline and about 30 pages...

At the risk of sounding like a jack hole, the game has been dead for a long time. At least as far as official Palladium support. Its the fans that kept it alive as long as it has, and sadly, that's a dwindling number. In all honesty, the game never really had much Palladium support. There's a variet...

As on of the authors, I can tell you we want to see it in print as much as you do. Let Palladium know. Email them, buy Splicers products, you know the drill.

Guy_LeDouche

Plus Galactus Kid, Guy LeDouche, Krispy and GK's brother have turned in (2) scripts that I will be eager to see released. This is not to mention several special projects I'm chomping on for this wonderful setting. So lets keep the momentum flowing!!!! Fingers crossed they see the light of day. I'm ...

SPLICERS: Dark Depths

This sounds interesting. Can you offer anything else about it?

Guy_LeDouche

I did almost the exact same basic premise a few years ago. I had a great session of Splicers where the PCs were tasked with destroying a Machine Power Plant. The adventure became one giant, moving fight for survival. Because of the metallic floor in the power plant, PCs couldn't stand still for long...

A very cool creation. Well done.

As one of the other authors, I'll say add my $.05 (adjusted for inflation.) Never forget that ultimately, this is your game, your universe. Galactus Kid , Krispy , and I are all alike in that we feel much of the information should be there to guide players and GMs alike, not force the game into what...

Has there ever been a second printing of the Splicers main book? To my knowledge, no. A relaunch and revamp of the main book has been the topic of discussion on a quite a few threads across the board. A lot of Spliceheads, myself included, feel the cover art most definitely needs a redo, among some...

Guy_LeDouche

Wooly , you are preaching to the converted. Despite periods of renewed interest and some fairly strong feedback to KS himself, Splicers remains in limbo. For a number of reasons, it just never quite gets the love and attention from the Powers That Be (PTB, for short) it should. I truly think Splice...

being an outrider doesn't make you a munchkin... but if you are a munchkin, you probably want to be an outrider. I'd have to go with Outrider as well. The bonuses they receive are almost obscene; +8 or more to Strike, Parry, Dodge, are pretty easy to get. The payoff is the Outrider has a massive bu...

Like everyone else, I'm thinking a pretty small sample would be enough. We are talking about a world where three headed dragons can be grown in a matter of months. I don't have the main book in front of me, but I think it even mentions that the Librarians and Engineers are able to "see" or...

A fantastic write up. I had genuinely wanted to make the Open House this year. Krispy and I had talked about it a number of times, but life had other plans. Maybe next time. It's great to hear Splicers fun was had by all. And I hope the TJ material played well. Thank you for the great write up Premi...

Good questions all around Tor . Here would be my take: Do you think this would always be the case with Cyber-Knights, Since the section specifically names Cyber Knights, I would say the reaction would hit regardless of level. Additionally, since Splicers is a magic "dead zone", I'd argue t...

Welcome to Splicers Htoad2020. At the risk of sounding like a jerk, are you looking for specific HA/War Mounts or something else? Not sure, since you copy/pasted the Main Book contents with us.

Per RIFTER #65, page 7: " The world of Splices to grow Splicers is a unique setting that pits man and organic technology against machines led by an insane artificial intelligence that believes she s a god. Several gods,actually. We suspect Splicers is overlooked by some for two reasons: A retr...

EDIT based on what you said, I don't think nexus limits itself to mammals. Dragons and Lizard men I wouldn't think would be mammals. xitiixicit (however the hell you spell it) aren't mammals, nor are other insects. At best definition I'd just go with "all flesh and blood beings will trigger a ...

Sweeet!! Import mutants (they aint human!) from TMNT or ATB2, give them some bio weapons and watch them dominate. hoody hoo! Not necessarily. With the nanoplauge, it's not a question of the target being human, but mammal. Species doesn't matter. If they are mammalian, they're still as subject to th...

I wouldn't want to rely 100% on spore discharger as my unlimited-use weapon. or bio-e vent (although it's better, it still has limited uses before you start taking penalties). complete inability to damage other splicers (and also presumably force fields) leaves you with a dangerous vulnerability An...

the ammo concern is a good reason to pack one of a few specific weapons that have unlimited ammo... if nothing else, pretty much anyone can own a light cell laser rifle or pistol. now, some of the better weapons are limited by ammo, so you might need to downgrade, but actually running out is fairly...

Simple machines, like toasters and computers don't have this caveat. They are incredibly dangerous. Even thngs as simple as a fire escape or scaffoding can turn really bad, really fast.

Yep. If had my way, the setting would have been SDC from the beginning. Not a big fan of the MDC concept to begin with, even less with Splicers.

Guy_LeDouche

There's a lot you could do with this idea. PCs could be tasked with anything from securing food/water for a sizeable group (feeding 50+ people on the run can't be easy) to acting as protection for non combatants. I would first start with what Krispy suggested: A basic idea of who and what is left. F...

in general, living armours only get enhancements if specifically noted. Shark is dead on. In the main Splicers book, the limitations of Living Armor, both Bio E and what they can choose, are listed for each individual OCC. For example, a Biotic starts with 2D6+22 Bio-E for additional enhancements, ...

Who is the best to help me figure out the best way to put this together. Guy LeDouche? Slappy? Premier? I'm open to suggestions. SWEET!! Here's my initial thoughts: Host Armor or New O.C.C. I say new OCC. Based on the brief description, I'd picture this as some sort of infiltrator. Following that r...

Krispy beat me to it; I'd second his remarks. The Splicers book is frustratingly vague on specific houses or groups and their respective beliefs, attitudes, etc. Still, with all the splicing and craziness in the world, I would think that all but the most intolerant factions would accept mutant anima...

But some of those robots look a little goofy. A flying skull with guns coming out of its nose and a caterpillar with plasma ejectors on every leg are the ones that come to the fore in my mind. Well, that and a fighter jet with fists. That's a weird one, too. It's not just aesthetic in my tastes; it...

Here's from the main book: Maximum Effective Range: 11,000 feet (3353 m; over two miles/3.2 km) with a minimum effective range of 1100 feet (335 m); cannot use the cannons to hit anything closer than that. I don't think the Behemoth (or any other War Mount) is "useless"; rather than all ar...

nice only thing i would say is that it feels somewhat lacking in melee options. now, i don't think the bastion would necessarily be well-served by actively seeking out melee combat (it's much more likely to get your people killed, i would imagine), but i do think that they could really benefit from...
