"Explain yourself before this Council, warlord.". Excellent little snippet about the politics of the Houses. I can also see Houses bargaining with other Houses for the use of spare bio-womb capacity(although 'spare capacity' would be a rarity...perhaps determined more by a House's ability...

"Explain yourself before this Council, warlord." Warlord Rathan of House Highfields, bowed before the 5 highest raking Warlords of the Resistance. With his Host Armor on stand-by a few meters away, he was dressed in a simple tunic. He chose this both a a sign of respect and to show the cou...

That's also a good option if they are used in-House.

Looking forward to it!

Bio-technology clock! Like a verity of clocks/watches but bio-technology based. Good huh? (a woman walks into a Geneticist's office, the Geneticist looks up from the lifeform he has splayed out on the table & see the woman is holding the bloodied, bashed remains of some creature, recognizes it ...

Got mine, surprisingly, last week, after my stint at the Prospect Park Haunted Walk. I had time before my homebound train so I stopped in at The Compleat Strategist on Oct. 29th. My jaw dropped & I snagged my copy rather quickly. I did not expect it to be there. I will dive into the Splicers mat...

Welcome aboard, Purple. Hope you enjoy your stay. Remember NOT to give the Dracos in Lower bay #42 any chocolate, no matter how much she begs or threatens; she needs to lose a couple tons before the next assault on The Machine's forces. The blue-bin by her berth has a number of sweet-fruit treats th...

" Deliveryman Kiria, to what do I owe the honor? " Geneticist Kals barely looked up from his worktable, delving over some vaguely-looking hominid form, it's chest cavity splayed open with various fingerbone-looking clamps, grips and probes. The Geneticist's upper-part of his face, around t...

Since Facebook is having problems with displaying the pictures, may I suggest putting them into an album on Photobucket, so we can see them? And yes, I was going to ask if PB will put up an erraata for the difference between RTM-manga & RTM-standard? 'The Cutting Room Floor" is still up &am...

Long Island fares about the same as the rest of the New York inlet; Fire Island & Jones Beach, holding their biggest concerts in history at that moment, are subsumed by the far end of the tsunami that hit the city proper, with the added bonus of water traveling from the strike that hit Queens fl...

From what I remember, modifications are done in the Gene Pool(s) of the House, usually under the supervision of the Librarian, Engineer and/or Geneticists, depending on how many Pools a house has, who's available, ect. Some smaller-sized Houses may make use of bio-tech wombs/incubators to re-populat...

Thanks, Zigg!

I would say YES, but I personally am only going to pick up the relevant Rifts-linked books, not the all-Savage World stuff. So I would need a list of just those books.

Speedy recovery to all!

Hope you guys work in my little idea here....

Agreed. Both have some great writing. Gotta go through 71/72 again.

AFAIK, Mirage Publishing still owns the rights to TMNT; when Palladium gave TMNT & OS the 2nd Edition treatment, they couldn't use the property, so they revived After The Bomb, which uses the Palladium system but without the TMNT references & images. In other words, Palladium owns the mechan...

Every so often, the Holiday shopping crowds are witness to the arrival of....well, not the jolly big-guy in the red suit, but a malcontent in black, sometimes seeking to destroy the hopes and dreams of children everywhere, other times to lay waste to the rampant over-commercialism of the Yuletide se...

Chig-Bolas (better known as the 'Double-thump'): A crafty Geneticist came up with this ammo, a pair of Chig-Grenades attached to each other by a thin but stretching line of sticky spider-silk-steel.

Tangler: upon impact/detonation, the seed-pod blooms into a large mass of thorny tenacle-vines that restrict & crush the target. If used as a land-mine like ordinance, the plant goes for the nearest movement source within 1 meter. Skunker: Similar to the Bio-Luminescent paint rounds, these ammo ...

My suggestions; 1 Bio-E if it's cosmetic (faceplace segments retract or gauntlet segments retract to expose hand; think the briefcase armor in Iron Man 2). Short talons (3 inches max) & stalks/tentacles 1 foot or less fall into this slot. 2 if the part is slightly larger, such as a hand & fo...

Never let the general public know your power-level & status, especially your location. Always pose a a minor-domo in the organization & employ a convenient patsy/target to take the heat when the rabble gets a little uppity (I point out Iron Man 3 and the use of a failed actor as the face of ...

So, what's in the 'Splicers: Evolved worldbook 1" and "Dawn of Legion" books? Inquiring Spliceheads want to know (and maybe I can get that pesky Geneticist to quit bugging me about it).....
