Voted maybe. I did pick up the one for Palladium Fantasy to see what they contained and what I could strip from it for 1st ed. Not nearly as useful for that as I had hoped it would be.

That makes sense, as all products released are going to be for 2nd edition.

What did you like about them?: Everything, haven't had a chance to use it yet but the Rifts one looks great.

What would have been better?: Not sure about better but the borg worksheets give the borgs 2 left legs and no right ones.

What game line/product would you like to see the next of?: Dead Reign with quick ref zombie stats for each of the main zombie types. Really I would like to see a kit for each setting.

What's Missing?: In the Rifts kit: a list for psionics similar to what was done for the spells, a quick ref list for salvage prices when selling to the black market, a quick ref list for weapons with range & damage & payload. Also I have no idea where to look in the books for this but a price list for ammunition like Boomgun rounds & missiles. And similar odds and ends that could be compiled into a quick ref list.

Were they too small/too big?: neither, the Rifts kit has room for additions as I suggested above.

Was the price fair?: Yeah nothing beats free.

I was thinking of doing this for a Dead Reign; but I was having trouble coming up with more useful tables since there is no magic or psionic abilities. Still thinking on this, so if anyone comes up with additional ideas for materials they'd like to see for a Dead Reign kit it might help me (or another freelancer/contributer) get the ball rolling.

Thanks


well since there is no magic or psionics in DR how about a quick ref for weapons and a table for improvised weapons like frying pans, chairs, tables, canned food (thrown in the sealed can), rolling pins, baseballs, a sock filled with ball bearings etc. Improvised ammunition like a roll of quarters for shotgun ammo. Armor table for improvised armor (the artwork shows more then once a person wearing parts of tires for armor whats the AR & SDC for that???) minor quick rules for governing thrown together armor like that. Consolidating the various salvage/scavenger tables from the DR books and placing them all together in 1 easy to find place.

Great topic, sorry it took me a month to notice it.

What did you like about them?:Pre-gen characters. I have not used them but they are great back ups for when I have large groups and they are good inspiration for my own creations.
What would have been better?:If there is some way to sell these so that they can be edited that would be great.
What game line/product would you like to see the next of?: Phase World, Heroes Unlimited, Robotech. In that order
What's Missing?: For Rifts, Phase World, and even Robotech - I would love to see vehicle sheets for the most common vehicles (CS Enforcer, CAF Silverhawk, UEDF Veritech) similar to the borg sheet with a picture of the vehicle and basic stats and common features.
Were they too small/too big?:They could have more, or some of the things I suggested could be separate purchases.
Was the price fair?: Very. I paid for both and I think they are more then worth it.

Additionally, as a separate purchase, I would love to see a GM's "Rogues Gallery". Basic bonuses and stats for common villains and monsters. One can be a standard CS squad, another a CS Naval air squadron, another could be a d-bee bandit group.

Let me know here or with a PM if any ideas come to you.

Thanks-

I would love to see Dead Reign for a demo. I have had a request last year by a couple of guys in Washington State that wanted to know if I had one (I obviously didnt).

What did you like about them?: Lots of reference and useful info
What would have been better?: honestly? they did the job they were meant to do and that is help us.
What game line/product would you like to see the next of?: HU, BtS, DR,
What's Missing?: Not really sure anything is missing per se. anything additive is always useful in some way or another.
Were they too small/too big?: That really is a person to person thing, I thought the size was fine but bigger wouldn't have bothered me either.
Was the price fair?: Yes.
I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree :D
