Anyone on here a KS backer and would be willing to place an order on my behalf? I can't make GenCon this year...and I'm interested in getting several of the promo models.

CaptKaruthors

All we got out of that mega awesome 3 month build up update is A history lesson A sales pitch A December 2015 release that may change Ghq does conventional vehicles Guess what we knew before the update All listed above What I know backers would have loved to see Which figures are still in the 3d re...

CaptKaruthors

I am also not opposed to the increase of scale for the later generations. I think if the scale shift is modest enough 10mm - 15mm then all the playing pieces can exist in the game. Scale is relative in the game anyways as I see lots of people using drop zone commander buildings which aren't 6mm scal...

CaptKaruthors

Yeah, after reading the update...I was rather disappointed by the lack of information regarding wave 2. My suggestion is to: instead of waiting to release it all as "wave 2"...release what you have completed. So for example, the Lancers and Gnerls that looked 80% completed 3 months ago are...

CaptKaruthors

Not speaking for Palladium, just from personal experience; A traditional screen-printing is done with a set charge per shirt and per color, with additional cost for large shirt sizes; The more shirts you order from the start the cheaper they are to produce. There's usually at least an hour of prep-...

CaptKaruthors

It is also worded that way to absolve them of any legal action if they decide to use an idea from a submission...as by signing the form, you are releasing your rights/ claim over the idea. "Parallel development" clauses have been used many times to shield a company from paying the idea man...

CaptKaruthors

I'm aware of how to submit art to palladium. I've done it before. However, with something like this I'm apprehensive to do so because anything I submit...they own. They could easily reject my idea...and then later use it claiming it as their own and cut me out of a pay day. I'd rather work out a dif...

CaptKaruthors

Anyone have extensive pictures of the games anywhere?

CaptKaruthors

No I have not. I'm not sure how receptive they'd be. Hopefully, someone in Palladium will see them here and comment.

CaptKaruthors

This could easily be done Galactus.

CaptKaruthors

Attached is a compsheet of the mockups of the t-shirts. Like I said, these are all ready to go. Just say the word Palladium.

I think a NGR secret missions book would be awesome. Something along the lines of studying leylines, etc. and the build up/development of an experimental large tank/ crawler that has a large gun on it that can collapse nexus points..and interrupt the flow of ley lines..and the secret missions that a...

CaptKaruthors

Yeah that's lame. They need to make a core card of a Valkyrie Ace wing or something. Basically an elite squadron of veritechs that are, at minimum, all VF-Js. This would allow you to field a squadron with max and miriya and add Rick as your special as skull leader.

CaptKaruthors

that's a dead giveaway.

I see what you did there...LOL.

CaptKaruthors

How can you get Miriya and Max in the same squad? Do you upgrade only one to a VF-1J and the other is only a VF-1A?

CaptKaruthors

I have 4-5 finished t-shirt designs in the can...ready to go if Palladium wants them. They aren't in your face Rifts OMG robots/ blasty stuff, but a little more lighthearted. They are inspired by old postcard art. I'd be more than willing to sell them the designs. I think t-shirts like the ones I've...

CaptKaruthors

I've found a few...but hoping there is more?

CaptKaruthors

It would be cool if they offered these as web exclusives through their webpage as well. I won't be able to make GenCon this year...so I have to find out if one of my friend's can buy them for me while he's there.

CaptKaruthors

So when are the new convention exclusives going to start? Which conventions are they going to be at? That info would be helpful.

CaptKaruthors

It would be cool if they ever do another POH to somehow get Kevin Long to attend. I miss that guys work.

CaptKaruthors

What's the matter Colonel Sanders?....Chicken?

CaptKaruthors

Yeah, I'd love to see some pictures from this event.

CaptKaruthors

Open handed options would be good. More leg options for sure...and make those a solid piece! There is no reason the legs and arms need to be 2 pieces.

CaptKaruthors

I expected 5-10 parts. Several things don't make sense like the split forearms, the little cockpit part, torsos that range in 3-5 parts, don't forget the single bent leg with 3 others straight as a board, oh and my favorite what the hell moment-- 3 parts for the VF-1s heads in fighter and guardian ...

CaptKaruthors

I don't seem to recall that and I don't have my rulebook handy. If not, I'd assume it's the model with the highest LD value if they have one.

CaptKaruthors

All I have essentially seen is the attitude I have stated. No one has even acknowledge the possibility of change or discussion of change. Have you even bothered contacting the event organizer of this tournament? What suggestions do you have? If you think that having the first tournament for Robotec...

CaptKaruthors

In other words "suck it up and if you don't like it too bad". Gotcha thanks I'll be sure not to bother with any tournaments then and for that matter I'm going to seriously rethink bothering demoing this game if that is the attitude I should expect from mini war gamers. Jaymz, what's your ...

CaptKaruthors

Did it ever occur to anyone that the mentality of "well you better be good at ALL aspects to be considered a good mini gamer" is why the elitist label is applied to mini gamers more than any other type of gamer that I have seen? That isn't a good thing. As primarily a wargamer myself...I ...

CaptKaruthors

Multiple prize categories it will have. So the best player will be awarded his prize by going undefeated. Period. Everything else in the awards categories is for the people that just want to show up and play and not give a fig about who the best player for the day is...but may want to compete (yes c...

CaptKaruthors

Um you could try at your CCG again ^^This. However, I would follow a similar game play to the Star Wars CCG from Decipher. The original CCG was too much like Magic...and for the type of world Rifts is...it just didn't work. With a game play similar to SWCCG...you can have factions and build deck st...

CaptKaruthors

And there inlies the issue. We. Don't know. I'm about 85% sure it will be run like their other events as far as how scoring would go..and how prizes are handled. Adepticon is usually pretty consistent in that regard. Contact Adepticon. It's easy. Adepticon.org. They are very helpful with getting yo...

CaptKaruthors

Jaymz, I think your point of view on this tournament is a little off. If this tournament is going to be run like the other Adepticon events...your paint job won't affect your ability to "win" the best general award...which is strictly who has the most battle points. Best General is all abo...

CaptKaruthors

I've played in many tournaments at Adepticon. This list for scoring looks copy pasted from another tournament document. However, I will say this. Painting isn't as big of a deal as you think. As long as your paint job is a decent 3 color minimum (minimum being basic even coats of 3 different colors)...

CaptKaruthors

I wasn't going to buy this issue, but you guys seemed to have talked me into it. I will pick it up at my FLGS this weekend. I am, however, disappointed with the lack of art. I wonder if it was because of time constraints or maybe didn't have any artists available? Maybe it was a budget issue? Who kn...

CaptKaruthors

I get how this works, but in practice; it is easier said than done. It can be very easy to eliminate the bubble wrap with one unit of RDF forces...then blow the Glaug away with multiple missile strikes from another unit, in which...even rolling with impact..will still knock out the Glaug. It's even ...

CaptKaruthors

After playing several games with my pod swarm, I've noticed that your command points quickly drop off to zero if you lose your Glaugs and Recon pods early. Some more games need to be played...but when that happens it's pretty much over for the Zentraedi fairly quickly..with only close formation real...

CaptKaruthors

I think a tournament format should consist of playing two games per round: one game as the RDF faction and one as either malcontents or zentraedi. Otherwise you will see veritech vs. veritech lists everywhere. Basically a similar set up to how the Star Wars CCG was played.

CaptKaruthors

Doesn't work like that. Palladium can license someone else to make a brand new Rifts CCG (or even just make their own one in-house), but they don't own the rights to the game Precedence made. Sort of of like how Mirage Studios can't go and publish Palladium's old TMNT RPG even though Mirage owns th...

CaptKaruthors

The rights to make the game are licensed out by Palladium. It's their IP. They can do with it as they please once a license expires. It is why you see some of the artwork commissioned for the cards used in the RIfts:UE book. My guess is that it probably doesn't serve them any purpose to release it. ...

CaptKaruthors

I have an entire line of Rifts T-shirts designs ready to go, but I don't think Palladium would be interested in getting heavy into the t-shirt biz.

CaptKaruthors

Just use an image hosting site like photobucket or something similar.

CaptKaruthors

Sounds like a good start to a good story. I figured you'd all end up in a bar somewhere first. LOL. That's how most stories with beginner players start it seems. It's tradition.

CaptKaruthors

Here is the cover mockup of the first issue of The Keyville Chronicles.

I also found this gem. An old character sketch I did in 1997 on graph paper. I think this was my Elf Wilderness Scout. I may revisit this sketch sometime soon and ink and color it up.

CaptKaruthors

I think everyone would want a suit of deadboy armor if it was made to the quality of say...stormtrooper armor that you see at cons, etc.
Somebody needs to get on this. LOL.

CaptKaruthors

I have designed some of the patches in Illustrator and have them in vector. It would be cool to get some embroidered patches made and have palladium sell them on their online store. I think it would be a fairly popular product for them.

CaptKaruthors

I like the fact that the CS kicked the crap out of tolkeen. I don't see it as racist. I see it has the natural progression we as humans would have overtime given the lack of knowledge the populace has about "outside" forces. I equate to what the CS is doing to what the Union army did in th...

CaptKaruthors

Before the Tolkeen war started and the Coalition War Campaign ramping up I had the CS involved in a deep tunnel project from one of their outposts in western WI tunneling underneath Tolkeen. The plan was to invade as normal and then send a second detachment to attack from the tunnels at the right mo...

CaptKaruthors

Use the Sustain spell so you don't have to worry about breathing or such.

That's assuming you have a magic user in your group...LOL. Also, while it may help you breathe..it doesn't help in the gravity (or lack thereof) department.

CaptKaruthors

I'm too tired of cliches to like this bit- the whole "Davy Jones" thing seems like just another mega-cliche. Agreed. It has that possibility. I'm not a fan. Wait you don't like Mega? Nope. It's the one of the dumbest ideas that exists in the rifts universe. On behalf of all Juicer-Wannabe...
