Full disclosure here - Not a KS backer for RTT nor do I have anything RTT related. Zip. Nada. I did do the Zombicide kickstarter so I'm familiar with KS exclusives and whatnot. I'm just not really seeing the big deal here. Okay, he said one thing and is now selling the exclusives for 48 hours on the...

Ninjafingers

And the only news in robotech tactics is that he breaks another promise by offering exclusives that were offered as ks and convention only on the website. Nice Wait a sec, what was the promise? That the items would be offered to KS folks and at conventions first or that they would only ever be offe...

Here's what you can look forward to like the rest of us. m I have to disagree with his comment about sacrificing poseability. The models themselves just need to be better redesigned and you can still maintain poseability. Man, that's a lot of itty-bitty pieces. I'm not much of a wargamer (played Ba...

Our bi-monthly gaming sessions slowly turned to Magic, Munchkin and Zombies! because of scheduling conflicts. Once we all retire (and any of us are still alive) I imagine RPGs coming back into the fold.

Is the company doing the sculpts also doing the rules?

Wasn't their front company in Springfield called Arbco Industries?

Interesting. Just FYI - the largest type of oil rig currently in use, the Hibernia platform, can store 1.2 million barrels of oil. The US produces about 490 million barrels of oil per year. The cost of oil is currently close to $80/barrel. Assume that he can't get full value for stolen oil (half or...

Ninjafingers

Why oil/gas platforms? Honesty, it was for a change of scenery. I teased the attacks a few adventures ago as a way to get the Centurions out of Century Station and thought where could they go that wasn't in the city, but still be close enough to where they would be called into action. Thus, out to s...

I could see some natives siding with Sinistry, but not all. These would make a great foil for the team. Dealing with mooks loyal to modulus. Now all I need are ocean-faring foils. Thanks

Ninjafingers

Hmmm. Dark centurions after being rescued and the team has to fight them and get them cured. That opens up some good ideas. Thanks! Others are welcome to join in. I'm working hard lately to improve my GM abilities.

Okay, we've got one vote for Natural and two for Normal (for the record I know the difference). Anyone have a book/page number to back up these claims? Personally, I think they would be considered Natural, but would like to know if there's an official ruling on the matter.

Ninjafingers

Just like the subject says. Are force fields considered normal or natural AR? I tried searching but came up with zilch. Thanks.

Ninjafingers

Ironically, my Century Station campaign has the Centurions captured by Sinistry and my player's team (The Ghetto Blasters) being elevated to the top super team in town to help quell the violence/super villains. I'm getting ready to launch Operation Overlord,which will quickly devolve into the Minion...

Ninjafingers

I like your Idea's in theory, but I find importing stuff from century station leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Batts Century Station/Gramercy Island are fine source books. Not everything in them fits with every campaign, but you cut out what you need and toss the rest. Then when you start a new gam...

My group has asked me to explore coming up with rules for mooks - ie the endless hordes of low-level henchmen all good supervillains have lying around. The problem has to do with knockout, or Palladium's lack of a good knockout rules for mooks in Heroes Unlimited. Mutants and Masterminds apparently ...

Ninjafingers

The thing is though that to kill it you need to overcome it's lifeforce along with destroying the brain. What makes it so nasty is that your typical zombie might only have 20-30 SDC on the head, but then has another 10-20 hit points, and depending might have as much as 78 points of damage required ...

Ninjafingers

Is it we are assuming that all the Zombies we are encountering are "maxed" out on SDC/HPs? Cant we just assume that a zombie who has been around for a few weeks/months, who has been shot at by other survivors, Fell off buildings, stuck by trucks, etc. NOT have to be at full health? A bran...

Seriously? Stun guns, tranq rifles, knockout gas, capture foam, saps, net guns, etc.

Well, I've done some more looking and for the record all of the less than lethal weapons I was looking for were right before my eyes. In the main book, the GM's guide and Rifter 33 (which I didn't know about). I also managed to find some in the Compendium of Contemporary Weapons and Ninja and Supers...

Ninjafingers

Nice weapons. I know I'd like to have any of them to deal with the zombies! But the problem will be finding them when you could really use them. I would imagine military bases would be a safe haven in the Dead Reign world, so all you have to do is know where one is and make your way there. Easier s...

I know there was a mention of a Dead Reign sourcebook, but I think the first supplement should be a world book. Take the information presented in Rifter 40 and expand on it - Winnipeg, Alaska, The Land of Oz, Ireland and all of the other enclaves - both good and bad - in the world. Nothing too big, ...

So, CL, what's been changed from your article in Rifter #40? I already know about the Thinkers and the Benford Group not being the cause of the Wave, but are there any other major differences?

Ninjafingers

I have argued this point before with sonic flight and wingless flight. If you possessed wingless flight at 15th level you could fly at 500 mph. So what's the difference from wingless flight at 500 mph and sonic flight 500 mph? Wingless flight say nothing about a person taking damage by ramming into...

Where are the less than lethal weapons in the HU books? I remember seeing them somewhere but don't know where. Thanks.

Ninjafingers

Under Rocket Fists, it states the character does 1d4x10 in a Rocket Body Strike, but just above it states the character does +4 damage for every 20 mph (which is also a rule in the main rule book IIRC). Seeing as how the character cannot go slower than 700 mph, does this mean he does 1d4x10 + 140 in...

Honestly, I wish Bill Coffin would have written MU. I've been reading through all of the HU books and have found MU to be the weakest of the lot (even though VU has a bad case of stupid villain names).

Once again you guys come through for me and thanks for all of the ideas. I actually like aspects of several ideas posted.

What type of A.R. does Armor of Ithan provide?

I would say Natural since the suit states "full suit of mystic armor."

Okay, I didn't realize Natural AR applied to things like power armor, magical force fields and APS powers. I guess it helps to read the rules.
