Palladium needs to streamline, update and tweak it's system. Put all the rules in one big book would be wonderful. Have it PLAYTESTED.... On paper it's pretty simple, but it's antiquated, clunky and the rules are spread out all over the place. The lack of electronic character generating tools and mo...

Oh boy this is turning really ugly. So much bad blood, even before launch is gonna doom this project. Not really sure what you are referring to. I have not seen anything that would constitute ugly? Saw some of the comments on the Robotech RT forums...UGLY. Carmen said adios to that forum it was so ...

MurderCityDisciple

I think the voting is very telling, Carmen. As I said in my now deleted post, I will not back your Kickstarter because of how the Robotech Kickstarter has ended up. When 30 out of 50 votes on Palladium's own forums are "no," maybe you should really be considering your options. The phrase ...

MurderCityDisciple

So sad....I once was a rabid fan of anything and everything Palladium related. Not anymore.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me a couple hundred times...F' NO!!

MurderCityDisciple

What about spears and polearms? Should the staff bonuses be added when used to whack bluntly or disarm folks?

MurderCityDisciple

3 books...all out at once? Pdf's? In color? Not years late? No way dude... And... if you missed out on the Kickstarter, you can now pre-order from PEG's site. Looks like they are targeting January ship date for pre-orders. Savage Rifts® Preorder Bundle -Chris Amazing stuff.... Makes what we're used...

Is Savage Rifts out yet?

It looks frikken amazing. Full color...sweet character sheets...modern system. Gonna buy it for sure.

MurderCityDisciple

I would've liked to see more from Palladium.

Robotech...crickets...RRT...cicadas....

I hope Pinacle makes a billion dollars!

MurderCityDisciple

Playing cards are going to be the big new product for GenCon?

You can go online and create your own playing cards for like $2 a deck.
Just upload the art and presto.

I hate to be a negative Nancy...but really?

Gonna skip the Palladium booth fer sure....yawn.

I love the art. I wish PB could do the same. Black and white is all good but the color illustrations just make it more dynamic to me at least. The color art is nice but it adds both time and cost palladium has done a good job keeping the price of even big supplements to super reasonable levels. A l...

And as of this morning they're over $260K so only 39K more needed in 13 days to get the expanded Players Guide. Daniel Stoker I am going to back it when I get paid next Friday. Go Rifts Go! I think the smart thing to do is dual stat books. I know some folks disagree with it, but what could it hurt?...

MurderCityDisciple

My fingers are crossed, we're almost at $250K this morning and I think it should be able to manage another $50K in 14 days. Daniel Stoker Wow RIFTS fever has erupted. Never thought it'd get this big. Kevin if you read this....time for another Palladium RIFTS Kickstarter. From now on all books shoul...

MurderCityDisciple

palladium doesn't have enough time to get their own product through the pipeline. i can't imagine what would possess them to add more onto that. They do what they do every year. Promise to release 20+ titles and end up coming out with 3. Just shoehorn in a few Savage Rifts compatible ones...with al...

MurderCityDisciple

I wonder if Palladium has the rights to publish stuff for the Savage Worlds line or not?

That would be very interesting.

MurderCityDisciple

Wow...says the PDF's will be out in June.
98% done!!

ahem...

MurderCityDisciple

palladium will still get paid for the license, and pinnacle has indicated they won't be including nearly as much information about the world (so if you want to know about atlantis, or whatever, beyond presumably a limited description, you'll need to buy the book for information on locations, named ...

MurderCityDisciple

What killed it for me an RIFTS is the lack of vision and lack of actual scenarios. Instead we get more books that are just toy catalogs, some new background material on whatever the new book is pushing and of course more OCC's. What about actual scenario or massive campaign books? Instead we get new...

MurderCityDisciple

I went to a local con this weekend (Redford Michigan) and there were tons of Savage Worlds games (and Pathfinder, heck even a West End Dr. Who game) going on, sadly not a peep from Palladium...maybe the new system can revive and rejuvenate the bloated, sagging and forgotten Rifts, from relative obsc...

MurderCityDisciple

Hey last weekly update said BTS stuff is coming out this year....yay!!!

Can't wait...

MurderCityDisciple

The power of imagination!!

If you imagine hard enough it becomes reality.

MurderCityDisciple

Two words...BTS KICKSTARTER!!

MurderCityDisciple

At best how many copies of projected Splicers book sell? A couple hundred?

I've been Palladium free for some time....but there is that residual love still. So much squandered opportunity. More so with BTS I think than Splicers.

Both really. At least they got a Pal Fantasy book out.

MurderCityDisciple

I've given up waiting for BTS stuff. Been using the new and retooled Call of Cthulhu 7E for my supernatural gaming needs. Yeah I cherry pick some of the cool stuff from the BTS books and Rifters, but 10 years waiting is more than enough. I mean c'mon, imagine if D&D 5E put out the new DMG, but n...

MurderCityDisciple

I always thought that humanity is in the minority in Rifts-time. There should be whole areas of North America/Rifts Earth where there's not a human to be seen. At least that's the way I envisioned it. I gave up on Rifts some time ago. Too much bloat. The whole mega-damage requirement drained the fun...

MurderCityDisciple

The discussion about scale can happen at the same time we find out what is going on with Wave 2. I've heard all sorts of disquieting rumors about how PB doesn't have enough money to produce Wave 2. I'm more concerned about that than how big a Cyclone will be next to a Veritech. . Well if they don't...

Wily yeah....again, Palladium is putting the cart before the horse. Stay on target guys. They've got an out of control dumpster fire on their hands and they are looking past the current mess and are already planning the next potential fiasco. It is a distraction but in a way I'm glad it is happenin...

MurderCityDisciple

They should've gone the X-wing route with the pre-painted, ready to go minis. I mean they had enough cash probably, these mini-models (which is what they are) are too frikken tiny and even with the slickest paint job aren't that much better than an X-wing fig. Think of all the fun folks could have ...

I'm stuck in a 'No Palladium products until both BtS books are published' boycott. I got conned into picking up the new version like 4 or 5 years ago when Kev said that'd be the year...for sure.... I didn't want to pick up an incomplete game. I was a huge fan of the original BtS. It's 10 years late ...

MurderCityDisciple

I was wondering how you actually contact Kevin for a fan comment, anyone know? Has anyone on these boards had their comment appear in a Weekly Update? I have to think most of the comments are from hardcore Palladium fans who inhabit these boards. And if you do send a comment is it a requirement that...

MurderCityDisciple

Here's something that has been bothering me about Rifts, I thought MDC gear and advanced technology was supposed to be (in theory) not everyday stuff. Well...from my experience, having a SDC only character is suicide. Most of the baddies being decked out or naturally MDC'd kind of requires the every...

MurderCityDisciple

I've always had problems with how difficult and long character and NPC creation are. One time I played in a convention game where the GM didn't bring pre-gen characters for a RIFTS game, there were 5 players and it took almost 3 hours just to get the characters kind of rolled up. The game slot was o...

Who's going to start a 'what's in store for 2015' thread?

I think Dead Reign killed and ate the flesh off BTS. Sad....

MurderCityDisciple

A aging gaming population while a factor is not the major reason for PB decline. It is one of them not the only one. The systems lack of popularity is a major one. A long as the rules never changes or get updated it will remain that way. While it's great for fans like myself who bought books and ar...

MurderCityDisciple

Yeah I live 10 minutes from Palladium Central and there is only one store that carries new Palladium stuff (and not much of a selection at that).

Back in the day, Palladium was at every comic book and game store around. What happened?

MurderCityDisciple

An anime geek friend of mine bought a main box set off of ebay, saw how many pieces there were and put it right back up for sale.

MurderCityDisciple

I'd hope that some energy be channeled to BTS, Mechanoids, Fantasy, Heroes and all the other promised and long neglected lines.

I would rather see that or just discontinue them, if a new game line has more momentum.

MurderCityDisciple

I have a question.... How the heck does anyone play a major campaign that doesn't have all the books/parts of it written yet? I mean for me a campaign is something you do over the summer, not over a decade. It's been like 7 or so years since this campaign started and is still yet to get all the boo...

MurderCityDisciple

After 10 years of waiting, I've thrown in the towel on BTS and Palladium in general. For my supernatural needs, I have Call of Cthulhu...of which the new 7e version is gonna be quite 'b!tchen. I've actually converted Dead Reign over to Chaosium's system and it works brilliantly. Here's a question......

MurderCityDisciple

Was Gen Con a financial success or an emotional one? I figure that they'd have to sell a couple hundred books/goodies to break even for all the costs for hotels, table space, travel and whatnot. Having two new books to sell probably was a good thing. Anyone have any idea how many of the new books/RR...

MurderCityDisciple

So Gen Con was not a total debacle, like a lot of folks thought and hoped. From what NMI is relaying...a complete triumph!! Palladium has been in the game for a long time, they don't spook, and nerd rage and anti-Palladium sentiment spewers just dash themselves upon the rocks of excellence, wisdom ...

It sounds like this con is shaping up quite well. It's hard to stay mad when you see Kevin, NMI and crew's smiling faces all pumped up with positive gamer vibe. It's contagious!!! ...Siembieda and NMI both kinda sound like names for highly contagious diseases. How many Palladium gamers and games are...

MurderCityDisciple

I wonder how many hundred copies they will sell at Gen Con?

Both the RPG and RRT. With it so prominently displayed and exhibited, I'm sure it will crank up a lot of interest.

Is there a "BEST OF SHOW" for Gen Con?

MurderCityDisciple

I was wondering how much actual RPG material is in RRT. By that I mean how interchangable are the rules, can you take your standard Robotech RPG character and jump into a RRT scenario and then back again? Will the RRT boost sales of the RPG or not? Too bad the Shadow Chronicles went nowhere and too ...
