I'll be there. Trying out a bunch of new games this year including the Stargate game, Transformers, Power Rangers, etc.

MASTERMIND

All three have been added to my collection. I love the hardcover print runs. Keep up the great work!

MASTERMIND

All three books received! These are absolutely beautiful. So happy to have these in hardcover in my collection.

Thank you!

MASTERMIND

So my latest order arrived with an add for POH rescheduled to April 22-24, 2022. Is this accurate? POH has been on my gamer bucket list for a while and the 40th Anniversary celebration might be the perfect time to attend. It was announced a month or so ago in the weekly update and those are the dat...

I order of of what I would suggest... Core book monsters and animals western empire eastern territories LotD 1 Island at the edge of the world .....the others in any order you please. Seconded.

Sweet!

Many thanks for working hard to keep the lights on. It's nice to see Palladium Books weathering all storms.

MASTERMIND

Well, I probably spent more than I should have but I love Rifts as well as Savage Worlds. I can't wait to see the material when it starts rolling out. Enjoying reading lore in my Rifts books while I wait.

MASTERMIND

I dropped by to add my voice to those wishing Kevin a speedy recovery. Sorry to hear the news and I hope you heal quickly.

MASTERMIND

This is not really a rundown. Palladium Books had a great space (once again) and it was fun picking up new releases and talking with the authors. They were even gracious enough to sign my books which is cool. The Robotech displays were pretty awesome and looked like they drew a lot of positive atten...

MASTERMIND

Hmm, I actually forgot about Chiang Six. Thank you for reminding me.

MASTERMIND

Does anyone know where the name of the Chiang-Ku Dragons come from? It sounds Chinese or Japanese, but the translation programs don't tell me anything. Did Kevin make it up, or was he inspired by something in particular?

MASTERMIND

This is walking around right now at SDCC. They are calling it The Robot for now, but it will be getting a real name soon. Looks like an awesome power armor to me.

MASTERMIND

Yeah, I definitely missed that. Thank you for the reference and insight.

*nods*

I will remember.

MASTERMIND

I might have missed this information in the book.

When do the insanity rules come into play?

Is there a set bullet list of "use insanity rules now" or is it all up to the discretion of the GM?

MASTERMIND

I would buy it.

I guess I am in the minority.

MASTERMIND

Sympathize with the people of the Coalition States or with Prozek's agenda and war machine? I think each could fall under the frame of "Coalition States" but my answer would be different.

MASTERMIND

That would be amazing! Or at least a long article like that in the Rifter. Make updates to the price catalog and to how the wanderer how he leaves his messages. Maybe he blogs? He Tweets ?!? Maybe... As amazing as all this new communication technology is it also makes it immensely easier to find pe...

MASTERMIND

While planning my campaign I stumbled across the Splugorth Slaver Mothership and I instantly fell in love. Obviously the PCs are going to need a really good reason to go there (or be dragged there against their will). Is there anymore information on these things besides what is in South America 1? H...

MASTERMIND

Awesome. Thanks!

MASTERMIND

I am generating characters with my players and one of them said something I had never heard before. Skills list a Base and then an additional percentage per level of experience. For example, Barter is 30% + 4% per level of experience. I had always assumed that at level 1 that skill would be 30% but ...

MASTERMIND

My second campaign is going to be a Coalition States military campaign and no the PCs will not be "seeing the error of their ways and going rogue." The campaign will be a short one and it will focus on a massive confrontation between the Coalition States military forces and the Xiticix.

MASTERMIND

@Golden Owl - Yeah, very good ideas! You gave me some good things to think about. More on that in a second. @Carl - I thought about keeping them in a smaller geographical area but aside from having fun I want the players to get a good look at Rifts Earth as a whole. So no matter what we do in future...

MASTERMIND

I am looking for suggestions for a campaign I will be starting in the next couple weeks. The premise is a kind of "Tour de Rifts" campaign that takes the PCs around the world to a lot of the hot spots. This is what I have so far: \\The campaign is starting in the Chi-Town Burbs. \\Characte...

MASTERMIND

Excellent. Many thanks to both of you!

MASTERMIND

Thank you for the information but I was hoping to avoid buying another book at the moment.

MASTERMIND

I found a copy of Truckin' Turtles and I decided to run it for my group but I don't have a copy of TMNT RPG at the moment. Are the rules found in HU (a book I do have) the same rules found in TMNT? Or are they at least close enough?

MASTERMIND

Wow, mine came in the mail already. That was pretty darn fast. Going to be reading it tonight. Whoa, I have to thank PB for a crazy dream. I had a little bit of a reaction to some new food I ate late night so I popped some Benadryl and fell asleep while reading the Nightbane Survival Guide. Then I ...

MASTERMIND

MASTERMIND

I just ordered my copy. Just waiting for it in the mail now.

Woohoo!

MASTERMIND

Ouch, that hurts. Oh well, I guess I won't be picking up the books at Gen Con...

:/

EDIT: I don't want to derail the thread. Could someone PM with information about why PB is not attending? I would be much appreciative.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the information in the press release.

Thanks!

MASTERMIND

As has been recommended by many voices before mine, more world information. I also have to add my love for the Spook Squad . I absolutely love that faction and I would love to see more development in that area. Vampires! Vampires! Vampires! Just keep up the good work and I will be happy. I am glad t...

MASTERMIND

I stopped by my FLGS and they didn't have any copies. At this point I would order it but I figure I will just wait until Gen Con and buy a copy there (along with Dead Reign). Hopefully they will be in stock. I need some new Rifts books too. Either way I will stop by to say hello to the Palladium cre...

MASTERMIND

Yeah, I have never really considered multiclassing to be a feature of Palladium's game system. I mean, they throw so many great classes at us that you can usually find one with the flavor you want (or you can mine the thousands of fan generated O.C.C.s on the net).

MASTERMIND

Also a distinct possibility as well. Just because someone calls an individual your uncle does not mean there is a blood relation there.

MASTERMIND

You could always go all 'M. Knight Shyamalan' with the story and the character finds out his uncle was actually a dragon (explaining on how he could "turn himself into one"). Then he realizes that this whole time...he wasn't a human, but he to was actually a dragon with some sort of amnes...

MASTERMIND

Also. The Uncle or whatever could have been a NIGHTBANE Sorcerer with Dragon-like Morphus. So it may not have been "magic" at all, just his own inner-vision of himself coming out in the Morphus form. That would confuse people forever... Rifter 20 has a Nightbane Morphus Themed Table to us...

MASTERMIND

One of the older Palladium Fantasy books had a circle that let you swap souls with another. Atleast one dragon is running around without a soul currently. Oh nice, that brings some story ideas to mind too... indeed nearly every book has something unique in it and NPC's hardly conform to standard ch...

MASTERMIND

This is an intellectual exercise in preparation for a Rifts campaign I will be running for my kids. Years ago I played a Ley Line Walker who was raised on the legends of his uncle who was a magic user so powerful he could transform into a dragon. For mystery's sake, we never specified exactly what k...

MASTERMIND

This is sure an interesting idea I think in Heroes Unlimited, there would be even more of these in existence, and would involve private corporate land building them for robotics and experiment testing. Anyone else think that they would be pretty prevalent? Yeah, I think they would be pretty popular...

MASTERMIND

This wonderful rainy day here in the Midwest U.S. reminded me of younger gaming days rolling out characters for my favorite games. So today I devoted the morning to rolling out a couple Heroes Unlimited characters and working on a campaign for my son to play. Just thought I would share a bit of the ...

Agreed... That was a bit much...

MASTERMIND

Even at $20 this game book would be well worth the money. I think under $10 is a steal, personally.

MASTERMIND

I kinda always got that impression myself KC.

And then the new versions of the gear (as seen in the Coalition War books) were what they engineered themselves and built (with the help of Triax, of course).

MASTERMIND

The CS will never admit it but the Burbs help to support the CS, not the other way around. Check out this link on "von Thunen's Model" which represents the concentric rings which develop around urban areas. This model has been replicated a thousand times over on Earth because it deals with...

MASTERMIND

Aren't they the wraiths of the Formless Ones reincarnated into semi-human bodies? The reincarnation portion of that would exclude them from being undead, per se.

Someone posted this on the White Wolf forums and the first thing I thought of was "the birth of Rifts Crazies?" So I thought I would share the link with you fine folks.

Enjoy!

The Harry Dresden Files by Jim Butcher (the books, not the short lived television series although that was a decent source of inspiration as well).

Anything by Tanya Huff is good as well.
