@barna10 that is why Dead Reign fails. It is too hard and therefore not fun to play. You're joking, right? You do realize that this is a SURVIVAL horror RPG? Not a hold-your-hand D&D game? What max means is that the rules for this game are so one sided that there is no real chance to survive an...

I need something explained to me. In Dead Reign, you are required to roll a "natural" 17 or higher to hit a zombie in the neck, bonuses to strike do not count for this roll. Why wouldn't you count bonuses? I understand you would want chopping of the head of a zombie to be difficult, but i...

Hey all, As a long term Rifts Player and GM I've found myself creating dozens of characters and Images for many of them. Right now since I don't have the money to set up a comp to run more than basic Daz 3D Pro(Usually I end up tossing money at DarklordDC). I've been useing Hero machine or drawing t...

Rockwolf66

Hmm I guess you're right a 5.56 would be best since it can also fire .223 in a pinch... Wait the only 5.56 SMG i can find is made in India, which means I'd go with a FAMAS. Wait now that's just wrong as there are many Submachinegun sized Rifles out there. H&K HK53 H&K G36C IMI Microtavor Mk...

I'm taking part(playing and Running) several online games and I was wondering what people think is the best way to keep the game information organized....Host a forum so that everyone can post their characters and put down information or should the game start a Wiki about the game and keep in game i...

Does anyone have any work or text files of pre gen coalition guys, I am kicking off a new campaign and of course Prosek and his goons are the bad guys so I need some stats quick... Any help would be great. Or if anyone knows where some 1 - 3 lvl goons are in what book let me know I have most of the...

Rockwolf66

Well Right now I am writing up a list of calibers, the damage they do and an example of a weapon that fires the caliber in question. Hopefully I can get it done sometime soonish.

Honestly I wanted Josh Hilden's origional setting insted of a generic one. I've played a few Zombie games including one where Some Necromancer was trying to bring back the old ones and the whole "Mysteriously caused Zombie Plague" gets rather old rather fast. Unless you are going with the ...

Sort of like the Banned by Name firearms list from California is stupidly long and does nothing to prevent crime.

Rockwolf66

I'll have to break out my copy of Excel and then go through the referance library of my favorite gun collector. I know I can create a very large list of weapons and a bit about them, Including accurate stats as I don't want to see a .50BMG sniper rifle with a 200m range...Someone really messed up on...

I would have to totally agree and He's worth every penny I have sent him over the years. Just look at his Current Version of my character. Between the improvements in rendering programs and The increase of his skills and natural tallents...I can only be Impressed. I do rendering now since I got a ne...

I've been comissioning Art from DarklordDC for years now and I've just comissioned him again. The Comission is of an older character of mine that he has rendered alot earlier in his career. The image isn't finalized but I'm still saying thak you for the great art and putting up with someone who's vi...

Rockwolf66

Usually I do it the first way but after one of DarklordDC's Images involving one of my characters and her "companions" I statted them all up and wrote backstories for them all. Most of the time I find that I can make up some really interesting characters from their race/skills and stats. T...

Rockwolf66

I know I am not going to convince anyone but I'm suprised that so many people like the New rules as you can't simulate realistic combat with modern weapons with it. To make one aimed Called shot it takes up most of your attacks rather than it being smoothly done with only a penalty to accuracy. Then...

Rockwolf66

Really yourself. The article talks about how an FMJ .30 carbine will "drill right through car bodies". Guess what, a .22LR will drill right through a car door also so long as it doesn't hit the door frame (and that frame will stop a .30 carbine, probably a .223/5.56 and probably even a 7....

Rockwolf66

yes it is i loved the episode and was going to do a poll question based on the episode about the .22 rim fire or the .223 would be best The .22 rim fire is NOT a good choice for ammo. You need a weapon that can fire the ammo (as opposed to the traditional firing pin, the weapon needs to strike the ...

Rockwolf66

I'm of the school that it's best to destroy as much of the skull as physically possible. While I do know of a man who carried a .22 S&W Revolver while undercover. lets just say that he didn't like the issue Walther PPK and if he ever got caught he didn't want to be found with an issue handgun. P...

Rockwolf66

I use the new rules for how many actions are required for each attack but I scrap a few of the new rules too. The inability to shoot someone in cover without a called shot met the scrap pile and so too did the inability to make a called shot while being shot at. -10 to dodge rule didn't exist in th...

Rockwolf66

I personally use a slightly modified version of the old style rules...Ie for a short burst I only use 10% of the magazine. for your average 30 round magazine this gives the much vaunted three round burst. I personally hate the new firearms rules as they were written by someone who has no real clue h...

Rockwolf66

the .223/%.56X45mm Round is ballistically superior to the .22 Long Rifle. Much better range, damage, bullet design and accuracy. Take a 5.56 AR15 and an AR15 in .22 Long Rifle and set them up identically then run them through a field exersize where you have targets out to 300m along a "jungle t...

Rockwolf66

Don't get me wrong, they old ones would be just fine in a pinch and better than a motorcycle, but they are still pretty small. Less cargo space than your average subcompact (maybe about as much space as an old geo metro inside of one). So if you are just hauling stuff for youself, that is plenty of...

Rockwolf66

While we are here, anyone got any idea what the damage would be on a 6.8x43mm Rem SPC? I know it's got to be greater than the 5.56mm NATO... I use the same 4D6 damage for the 6.8X43mm Remington SPC round. That puts it in the same damage catigory as the M16 and the AK47. The reason the M16 does so m...

Adding Magic and Psionics to deadreign is relatively easy you just re-introduce the Beyond the Supernatural elements back into deadreign.

Since the zombies sence PPE it sucks to be a mage as every zombie in visual range will target you first.

Or is it as simple as activate the vibrosword for MD, don't activate it for silver damage? --flatline That's how I would rule it as for the most part that doesn't come up and it's an OCC starting weapon. Personally I would much rather have a Ninjato made from a Megadamage alloy Alloy and then permi...

At times I can be a power gamer. For games where Everyone is playing a character with Alot of Power I like to bring out Silvie. Silviana Thrasher The Demigoddess who calls herself Silviana Thrasher was born in 92 PA. Her mother Hedda Okamura was a talented shifter who worshipped the old Celtic Panth...

Thanks I'm writing another part to the story right now.

I'm covering such nice things as emergency field surgury, Unexpected allies and who exactly is the enemy and what do they want.

Rockwolf66

Also the cultists, I think they would be the largest factor to play against the survivors. Even if you had a city large enough to hold off the zombies, a death cult would eventually be able to break the siege. Yup, all it would take was a semi truck or two ful of zombies for a city to become a slau...

Hey All, I'm in the middle of writing a Rifts/Deadreign story mostly for my own amusement and so far those I've shared the first part with have liked it and I would like to share the first part with the forum.

Gas mileage isn't that important as everyone is undead and not using gasoline, what is left should last a while for the few that are left. Gasoline goes stale. The lifespan of the world's petrol resources are limited. If the Zed Apocalypse doesn't end before the gas goes stale, EVERYONE will be ped...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Patrol_Vehicle Desert Patrol Vehicles. As it turns out their fuel milage is atrocious! 10mpg. However, I'd bet you could swap engines and transmissions in the thing for much better milage. Yeah the DPV looks cool but I much prefer the M1165A1 Special Ops if I'm r...

For those of you who insist on the Christian God, I posit this, which does comply (more or less) with Christian theology. So the coming of the rifts was the final judgment. God took his followers and went to wherever He and his chosen go. Hell is the absence of God (in some views) and what's more h...

Personally I prefer to do my zombie hunting by ATV as while it's not so great in the city in the country I can take more stuff than on a motorcycle and if need be carry wounded survivors back to basecamp.

But, but, but I can hit the broadside of a barn at 2,000ft with a pistol! So long as it is a really big barn and I can snap off 3 or 4 shots and someone can spot the fall of the round. Yes ranges are kind of short. A couple of things to keep in mind, unaided over iron sights, even with zero deflect...

PS: Yeah I know I'm ranting about something that is only partially on topic Nah, I think feedback from these sort of campaigns is precisely on-topic. I'd be curious to hear back from AK's players, too, if they're not too GM-fearing. Ok then. Really When I do run a Rifts game I try to think of how a...

How did you set up the vampiric cure? Just a spell or a ritual involving particular ingredients the players needed to assemble. As someone who was playing in that game the ritual to turn a vampire into a Wampyre involved alot of plot railroading and agregious use of his wife's GMPC. Somehow that NP...

Shotgun rounds Buckshot( sized 00 or No.4): Great at short ranges of less than 25m after that the spread ends up getting too wide for efficient zombie slaying. Slug: Now with slug you can accuratly shoot a shotgun at a man sized target past 200m. At those ranges you still have the accuracy and stopp...

Stop me if I am wrong but the world war Z book dumped on the assault rifle and HMG as they were efficient at wounding and maiming a living target, yet zombies never responded to DUCKING for HMG and could go on no matter how bad the wounds got, so in all the ultimate weapon was the .22 rifle with in...

Rockwolf66

Personally for me an ideal weapon is a .30 M1 carbine or a copy of it. Easy to carry tons of ammo, enough penetration and hitting power to brain a zombie at well over 100yds and accurate enough to hit one at that range as well. Also nice and light weight, compact with a folding stock and low recoil...

once upon a time it was not possible to dodge ranged weapons except with special occ ablities one such occ was the mystic ninja with its -3 for arrows and -6 for firearms. Yet now every OCC can dodge weapons at -5! (-10 for point blank range) plus their pp bonus if any. Don't you mean that Pre-RUE ...

I never said a headshot was impossible, or that a good marksman could manage one. However, with experience, hitting even a slowly moving target at a good distance the size of a head with a rifle is NOT easy. It is possible, but not easy.

The issue is that the average rifleman is not trained in head shots combined with how difficult it is to achieve one at any real range against something like a zombie.. 10,000 zombies against 200 rifleman get air support gunship or attack ground jet fighter Well as far as what azazel thinks he shou...

Because the current Palladium dodge rules for firearms are written by people who have no experiance with real life weapons. Sort of like the -10 natural dodge rule for firearms.

# 13. A loudner. It's a firearm attachment, similar to a silencer, but works just the opposite. It acts as a loud speaker, amplifying the sound of the gun firing. So a 9mm pistol might actually sound like a 5.56mm assault rifle. Also note that because it's #13, the welder has twice the chance of th...

well to my thinking with the ploriferation of sound supressors with both the Military and the Civilian shooting community...Zombies are in alot of trouble. With a worldwide outbreak and a virtual decapitation of government there would be nothing stopping someone with the knowhow to build supressors....
