we use heroes unlimited rules to run a version of this, with dead reign mixed in it has been awesome.

GrampaAllen

Thank you for a mental kick start.

I use these my Rifts party loves to go slumming and raid low tech dimensions for gear.http://palladiumbooks.com/forums/viewto ... 0&t=133583

I really like this model was thinking of a human family with their farm of mutant animals. And with high tech a cottage 3d print shop for basic things and trades excess production from it for other little farms production. The Johnson family who does chemicals ( everything from cleaning supplies to ...

I run a phase world campaign and use everything from rifts scattered across the three Galaxy's. Japan now bushi federation, south american country's become a collection of planets just outside of splugorath controlled sector etc etc etc.

GrampaAllen

I wish you had your Phase world ones up as well but I will buy Fantasy just to keep the ball rolling.

I work in the cellular field; the problem with the towers is that they all connect back to the switch through land lines by and large, when that equipment goes down your out of business. However if you have the right software and knowledge some equipment can be put in test mode allowing it to route ...

We tried it with the civilian occs from dead reign. After we added appropriated equipment and cybernetics for the default tech level. It was brutal, it requires a different mind set. The PCs cycled through several characters before they got it. Now it is going well as our background campaign we come...

My group tried an SDC version and it was just as lethal as the MDC version this is a gorilla war situation, even in the books they mention taking out the leader picking off key members drawing the hordes away from your assets. It is very horror movie outsmart out maneuver the more powerful opponent ...

We use armorer or repair most of my group are stick dorks myself included.

Build it into the psychic chart so either you are a psychic or you get an aptitude but not both.

Netflix has the show available.

It is space opera at heart, if you are familiar with the genre you will be fine. Oh and the solution to every problem is missiles or singing.

Antique shops and silver solder from hardware stores.

One and five ounce bars are regulary used by investors but those are 99 percent pure silver so you could probably mix those to stretch your supply, and make it harder for weapons although bullets do not need hardening.

GrampaAllen

Actually a little 50cc moped is a pretty optimal survival vehicle. From experience you can even buzz around in a warehouse or department store scale building. Add in the insane gas milage and something that you can manhandle up and down stairs it would be a fairly good choice for a Shepard, or Scave...

Circle of youth is only a stop gap that is less useful the older you are when you find it since it halves your age that only effectively doubles your lifespan. Can you use it more than once? If so, then you can be effectively immortal. --flatline Yes you can use it to reduce your age to "effec...

I like to read articles about ptsd for inspiration before the game. And regulary use claustrophobics among the npc characters. Them seem like logical reactions for people who have been subjected to hiding in silence while the undead gather. Also all manner of abandonment and transference issues. Guy...

The cell towers are not going anywhere and microwaves run on fairly low amounts of juice. With a little planning you could set up a nice little town to town net. Clearwire works on a similar system antennas to communicate with your handsets then microwave link over distance and antenna to handset on...

If you go with light bikes or possibly even mopeds it works out, in your favor fast easily maneuverable the bigger the bike the less the payoff. Personally I prefer a stripped down quad or dune rail but having grown up on a dirt bike, and watched the Baltimore boys ditch the cops on dirt bikes, they...

GrampaAllen

Very few people grasp all of the nuances of the system definitely not I. But they have put you in position of all the continental arms dealers being in cahoots and they mention that the coalition buys light auxiliary vehicles from NG and the Manastique valley. That leaves Wilks and any number of kin...

New campaign first session. New player Lost in space kind of situation guy is an invulnerable flying superhuman. They pop out in the three galaxies stealth land on the planet and are trying to quietly figure out where they are (TGE space anvil galaxy). So they realize a pair of police are starting t...

Although there is a point they kind of gloss over if a demon dies on say rifts earth he reforms at home he would then be available for the phase world front meaning all of their casualties become reinforcements on another front. Just my thought of the day.

GrampaAllen

We ran it with multiple PCs per player with one "Bridge Crew" per player. It led to some good times, especially since the ranks were inverted aka the player of the captain was the pfc on the recon squad. This kind of play sound pretty interesting and sounds like a blast. Where each player...

I ran a campaign that merged a couple of our robotech games and put it all into Rifts. The freedom fighters and and anti masters forces from the return of the masters, got together and launched a reconditioned Zentreadi scout ship in pursuit as the Masters left, with a quick restock and reinforced b...

old school artillery was seriously effective against static or slow moving targets zombies should be easy

GrampaAllen

OK so that is about what I was thinking so Macca war club or a knights sword from a museum would work being on the east coast a lot of cultural museums and exhibits.

GrampaAllen

Have you used museum exhibit items or antiques that have become empowered by the coming of the rifts.

We have been debating how far back they would have to come from or allowing certain weapons that were forged with the old ways to work as well.

GrampaAllen

Mostly looking for artillery and grapeshot is a shotgun on steroids plus some.

I can not find my copy of trans dimensional TMNT, do any of the other books cover historic firearms and artillery. One of my neighbors has a Hotchkiss 2 pound mountain gun which I thought was fairly unique. Until he had a BBQ after some event and I met his circle of aficionado friends making half a ...

It is a great example of early chaos earth thinking until after the demons attack. Then you look at how crazy they went after they got hit.

GrampaAllen

Actualy I have always had that dwarves knew of the tech but only used it in their home lands and most of those were shattered. They keep it secret through ruthless means since both they and elves are long term enough thinkers to realise what would happen if humans got ahold of it. AKA destroy all of...

GrampaAllen

Brilliant but making it would generate alot of noise, the resourses are not really useful for anything better.
Build it with a periscope and its excellent for recon as well.
Although the robotwars bots lack in the off road capacity.

If you take the cost versus how long the power supplys last you have to charge alot to turn aprofit espacialy if you dont have a whole lot of customers 790,000/2000 cost of recharge = 395. 395/8 recharges per hour = 49.375 hours to recoup your 790,000 credits.

Just rule that supers who are infected are thinkers or runners and remember some of them would have fallen to the wave so you could hit your heroes with them right off the bat think marvel zombies
