The call has gone out: there is a dire need of Rifter submissions:

There is a TON of tremendous stuff on this forum. If you've been thinking of submitting anything, now is the time. With potential sourcebooks on the horizon, anything that draws more attention the Splicers universe is a good thing. I'm prepping a few things now that I've been sitting on for some time. Fingers crossed.

How lenient are they when it comes to submissions that do not include art? I've never been an art type

They handle the art assignments. They have never expected the authors to include artwork.

Why don't we, as a forum, submit the first Unleashed as an article for the rifter? The stories are great, and there is enough there for a Rifter or two. Plus, the more Splicers stuff in the Rifter, the more people will get interested in (as far as I am concerned) the best setting in the megaverse.

I discussed this with Kevin previously and he seemed very excited, but with so much going on, it may need to be emphasized. However, I don't want to take opportunities away from you guys & gals either and this is a GREAT opportunity for all Spliceheads to get their ideas and work out to the masses. Perhaps several Splicers articles can invade the upcoming Rifters to prepare and generate more demmand for the sourcebooks. I do agree that the Unleashed contest(s) would make for a great series of articles and it does illustrate fandom and cohesive teamwork. I will discuss it more with Kevin and Wayne to see what they say. "If" greenlighted, please be prepared to sign the paper work and get it back ASAP!

I have been trying to flesh out H. Pandorum for the past couple of days...a much larger endeavour compared to the material i submitted for Rifter 0.1 (if my material isnt published in the rifter 0.1 i will post it here)

i really want to submit H. Myre next, then H. Necrys

I have some Splicers ideas for a Rifter Article, but not ready to discuss them as of yet

The Galactus Kid · Fri Apr 13, 2012 2:16 pm

OK, well, I just talked to Wayne and my brother in law. It looks like we're going to put together another Splicers article for Rifter #59. It will be focused on the Packmaster and modifications to the class and Gorehounds. It will probably include new and additional Bio-enhancements, specific enhancements for gorehounds, and some new bio-tech equipment.

If time and space allow, we may also do the same thing for Technojackers as a second article...maybe for Rifter #60. If Wayne sees fit, maybe we'll get it into the next one.

hahaha. Thanks guys. We're trying to figure out how we'll divide the material, but there will be a number of really cool new things for our Spliceheads out there.

just curious, how many of you fellow Splicerheads are trying to polish up some material for the Rifter??

i am but it is a sllllloowww process

The Galactus Kid · Thu Apr 19, 2012 9:40 am

I have 3 articles that are being worked on. 1) Packmaster and Gorehound stuff. 2) Technojacker stuff 3) new Bio-enhancements and bio-equipment.

That may be in article number 3. If not, then I have a 4th. I also have 3 new marmounts too, which may make it into one of the aforementioned articles or will be in their own.

I'm also working on a project for Third Eye Games and the Sovietski Sourcebook while expecting our first child. YAY for over-scheduling.

mind-splicer ?? can you post the link please mate i would like to read it and the search engine gave too many options to read through

and yes i agree with the submission of TJ material... TJs are a big part of my Splicerverse, i should ad more to what i have posted for them

i am really curious as to the direction GK has gone with them

I can tell you that there is more advancement based on level. TJ can specialisze in a number of areas so two high level TJs could have some very silmilar basic powers and abilities but be almost completely different in function.

I plopped you a PM. I think its a dr hellstrom creation. might be hellhound. i vaguely remember hell being part of the name. I have around 30 OCCs from the board. there is a second MindKnight character i can send you. different enough to have both in a campaign too.

I can even post them both, but i dont want to, because i didn't save the info on who made them, and don't feel like diving back 20 pages. or 7. whatever. but yeah, lots of supplemental material on this board.

I'm going to do my best to avoid any of that information so it doesn't bleed into any of the stuff that my brothers in law and I are working on regarding psionics in Splicers.

I am hyped about this year's releases and I think it will be a Time for the SPLICE to Flow!

I sure will, Ziggy. I have this short article I'm doing for the next Rifter, and after that I have to finish the Sovietski book and a book for Third Eye Games. Once those projects are completed, I'll be trying to get a splicers article done every month or so to keep my chops up before moving to another serious project (either Japan 2 or Monster Kingdoms of Europe)

Wow, a work horse and a brave man; to even tackle some of the stuff in Japan. I'm not surprised with your findings at all. While I liked some of the core ideas of Japan (especially the "Ancients" Vs. "Ultra-Modern" angle), the book itself was extremely disappointing. There are several of the early Rifts books that I would love to see total rewrites on. Seems they were victims of "Good Idea, Bad Executions".

Its something I'm going to discuss with Kevin at the open house. Updates to the older books need to be made when the reprints go in. Full chunks of additional material and things like Revised SB 1 and Vampire Kingdoms are highly unlikely, but edits of things that need to be modified for consistancy, appropriate skill names, perception bouses etc. should happen.
