I think when you first get the game, Glitter Boy stands out. After a bit, everyone seems to gravitate toward the cool kids table and see the cigar smoking Grackle Tooth as what defines Rifts as awesome.

Make the spy a Psi-Ghost (Psyscape) or Mind Melter (Rifts Ultimate Edition) Changling (Rifts Conversion Book). That would probably give you what you need for avoiding detection.

I'd simply put Houstown on the "to-do" list of Fort Pinnacle. Another thought: The CS treats Houstown similar to how Free Quebec treats Old Bones. They use it to collect intel on the rest of the area. I do like this idea...You could even say it's a major recruiting station for Psi-Stalker...

Here is a link to the old index...unfortunately it only goes to issue 44.

I do remember seeing it. I think the article you're talking about was called Hog Wild or something like that.

FluidicAztec

Someone mentioned Creature of Chaos. On page 11 it talks about a bunch of different animals that can affect demons. If you use that in your Rifts setting, it could definitely pair well with Monsters & Demon Lore. Heck, you can make a T-Man who specializes in summoning critters that have a impact...

Ideally, PB should create some online products that supplement the game. A compendium of skill would be perfect.

FluidicAztec

This book has a LOT of cool stuff in it. I've thought about converting a few things over to Rifts.

FluidicAztec

I guess I play at more of a street level. The bigger campaign stuff never had an any real effect. My players are always just trying to survive the next gig and scrap together enough creds for food. I am looking at building my first "epic" level game. I'll definitely change things up for th...

FluidicAztec

They are making their way in. Slowly but surely the various sub skills are slowly making their way in. the Trick Shooting and paired pistol skills are already in some books. Eventually they will migrate to the master list(s). Is Paired Pistol actually a detailed skill somewhere other than kinda in ...

Less moving away from and more reserving it for specific OCCs as was originally intended. If everyone can take Sharpshooting, why play a Gunslinger O.C.C.? It's a good decision, if you ask me. If every Man-At-Arms class can take it, it rather cheapens its value. Yes and no, actually. The do get the...

FluidicAztec

So looking at RUE (1st printing), the Sharpshooting skill never made it into the book. It's mentioned in a few world books like Canada and the Chaos Earth main book even lists it in the skill section. The interesting thing is the NEMA Soldier/Peacekeeper OCC in the main Chaos Earth book looks simila...

FluidicAztec

Instead of Xiticix I would go with Black Wing Monster Men (Spirit West I think).

FluidicAztec

It's really interesting stuff...can't wait to see more. The whole 'burn' thing sounds super cool.

Question for the MODs: Why isn't there a discussion board for Savage World Rifts? Is it a proprietary thing?

FluidicAztec

So if my subscription ends with 71 should I renew with 73?

FluidicAztec

This has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. I would replace my books every few years if I knew the current printing. The only way to know is when PB announces on the home page the reprinting of a book. I do wish the store showed the current printing. I think a page like what Nexus Nine has for th...

FluidicAztec

So Roll20 seems pretty awesome so far. I've even set up my own game. I'm still trying to learn the basics of the GUI, but overall I think this is definitely the way to go. The different token you can place on a map are cool. I think those Paper Miniatures from Mad Man Mike are perfect for this.

Combat rules for Our Games. The link is to the Playing Card Holder and Init Cards I use. http://dan-frederick.deviantart.com/art/Example-549989683 Dan Your cards are pretty cool. Care to share the printing secret? It looks like you keep cards on each character for quick reference.

FluidicAztec

I just asked to join two groups...the only two Palladium groups on Roll20. I'm sure both of you are in the Phoenix campaign. Let me know how it goes in case I'm not accepted.

FluidicAztec

Does anyone use a Virtual Table Top like Battlegrounds or Roll20? I've never played VTT but think it would be pretty cool and wanted to know if anyone has done this with Rifts.

FluidicAztec

One of the China books also has a pretty good discussion on credits.

FluidicAztec

Rifter 19 has an article on Wand Magic that might help.

FluidicAztec

Cool thoughts...I've always liked the Momano. I'm also a fan of incorporating the TW Bionics from Rifter 41.

FluidicAztec

Wow...super cool. The German faction part should say NGR...small typo.

It looks like this could really expand into something cool. The individual states really should be expanded. Thanks for sharing.

FluidicAztec

The SAMAS swarm would be pretty cool, but totally ineffective (if we choose the GDC option). Or the horror of Godzilla walking out of the mass of destructive force after the waves of missiles fail to even scratch him. Time for the CS's secret weapon...WEAPON D...a super cannon powered with the souls...

FluidicAztec

So I just watch the latest Godzilla movie...pretty epic. Loved it. Anyways, I know the Rifter had that article about super monsters that was actually pretty cool. But ultimately, those monsters were still MDC (or SDC if in that particular world type). In the movies the monster seems to shrug off any...

FluidicAztec

I voted for Air...but really I'm a fan of the Shadow Warlock. NB talents and spells. I would of course limit them to shadow magic only (plenty of those in various Rifters and the LoB).

FluidicAztec

I really wish Palladium would show the print date for the various books in the store. The only way to know if you're getting something recent is to pick them up when they announce a "back in print" item...like the BOM they mentioned recently.

FluidicAztec

I seem to recall that a significant expenditure of PPE in the vicinity of a ley line (a battle featuring several casters and a few TW items) might set one off. Can't remember where I read that though. I might have made it up. I still like the idea. Eh, looks cool. I kinda picture a ley-line storm a...

OK...kind of an odd grab bag this year. Got a comic Curse of the Vessel...I'm guessing PB was a big KickStarter investor since they have a full page add on the back.

If I were to half-ass a number, I'd say 1% per day, cumulative, but with a +5% at Midnight and Midday. Roll 1d24 (1d12, with a 1d6 determining if it's AM or PM) to determine what hour it checks, and if it hits at Midnight or Noon, you add the 5%. Once a storm blows in, it resets the count, as power...

Here is the idea I'm working on right now. Tell me what you guys think: The Hybrid could look something like this: Kept from the Burster 1. Impervious to fire & heat 3. Flame Burst 4. Fire Bolt 5. Fire Eruption 7. Super Fuel Flame 9. ISP Base 10. Saving throw vs. Psi 11. PPE Base 12: RCC Bonuse...

I'm all about plot driven need...but sometimes it could seem a little too convenient for them not to or to appear. I had a storm appear after 30 minutes and the player say his last GM let his guys hang out on a lay line for days at a time with nothing bad happening. Mine was plot driven...but I had ...

My PC are in Rifts Russia, not that it matters...I've read a lot on ley line storms, but nowhere does it say how often they occur or what might trigger them. My PC inadvertently caused one (shh...they don't know that), but what about just hangin' out on a ley line? Is there a table in a book somewhe...

FluidicAztec

Hmm...I thought the SAMAS in Spirit West was actually a US Army version?

FluidicAztec

Page 299 of RUE covers this. If the OCC/RCC starts with a skill that has a prerequisite, assume the character has that skill as part of their training.

Rifter's 50 & 51 have awesome Vehicle Construction Rules that go into great detail on component cost. Rifter 51 talks about repair rules and costs. It should have most of what you need.

FluidicAztec

I still think selling individual maps is the way to go. You could buy each digitally at one price and a hard laminated copy at a higher price. Maybe even sell a cool Rifts Binder you could store them in. It would allow for continuous expansion and I believe a higher profit return with an a-la-carte ...

Wow...super cool potential. If you pull off the APP you deserve a holiday named after you.

Page 69 of the CWC describes how the CS likes to outfit the heavy and light borgs with Dead Boy armor and page 102 lists the 6A-6C as Heavy Cyborg Armor that appears the same as the CA-6EX Armor. The CS doesn't want the enemy to differentiate between cyborgs and standard troops. Outside of the armor...

Ya, I'm all for the dramatic save or not-save as the case may be. But one of my players pointed out that his previous GM let them hang out on a ley line for days and nothing ever happened. I figured 10% every hour was legit (maybe now that I think about it, that might be to high). I also had other f...
