I am thinking of running a miniatures game based off the Juicer Uprising. The game rules would be similar to the old WotC Star Wars miniatures rules. I have the props, I would just have to develop and test the scenarios. Thoughts anyone?

Just bought my badge and booked my hotel. I ran one game last year and had two others, but they were no show. I think this year I will only run one or two.

As promised, here they are... RPG18144295 "Trigger, Slayer, Juicer, PSI" A pre-rifts BTS spy thriller taking place in South America just before the cataclysm. RPG18144292 Journée froide en enfer A Chaos Earth adventure two years after the cataclysm near the French/Swiss border. I will post...

Getting two more adventures set up. One Chaos Earth and one Pre-Rifts/Beyond the Supernatural game. Submitting them for Saturday early evening. More to follow. If I can't get decent hours, I will look for an Open Gaming Room somewhere. More to follow...

What is NMI's involvement? By reading GenCon's game submission section, it sounds like each GM submits their own game. I believe if there is enough Palladium-specific events, he can get better allocation of space and time for events, as well as getting badges upgraded to Game Master if you put in e...

Greetings all! Gen Con just released the initial events listings and there are only two Rifts games scheduled and 14 overall Palladium-franchise games listed. Have there been a lot of late submissions that will show up later in the catalog? Ask NMI, he is in charge of GenCon I sent an email to NMI ...

I am still waiting on Gen Con to finalize another Rifts game I submitted and just sent NMI an email that I would run two more games for Saturday.

Greetings all!

The Palladium equivalent of "killing boars."

The list could also list region, availability, legality, and complexity as well. The legality could be something as obvious as magic items are illegal in the CS, portable computers illegal in the New Empire, or if the GM happens to make it illegal there could be a checkmark signifying it. Complexit...

Seems highly dependent on backstory. What would be more valuable, in my opinion, would be a set of tables reflecting the contents of shops encountered in different areas; divided by power-source (tech, magic, psi) and scarcity. That would come in handy. It could also give some basic stats such as a...

I am looking for ideas to create and compile standardized adventuring/survival kits (like the NG-S2 or ninja emergency kits) for a variety of game worlds (Splicers, PFRPG, Rifts: High Tech, Rifts: Low Tech, etc.). The ultimate goal is to put them in an easy to reference PDF for MAs and players. Thou...

Thanks everyone! We'll see if someone cleverly applies their Housekeeping (Professional Quality) skill. Cleaning up a crime scene or seeing a how a crime scene was cleaned up and possibly knowing other places to look for trace [beautiful combo to go with Criminal Forensics] Well played NMI. Well pl...

We are down to the wire with six weeks left till Gen Con Indy. I am here to give you the low down on the games, the prizes and the fun to be had by all who love the greatest game system of them all. Lets go, Gaming we have over fifty games, ranging from Palladium Fantasy kill a dragon if the GM dar...

Scathatch and Filidh Druids would probably make good archers. You might need to bend the rules slightly to give them more advanced weapon skills like Kyudo or sharpshooter skills with the bow, but they could make and enchant a variety of arrows and pump themselves up on enchanted drugs/herbs.

If I remember correctly, the Nightlands sourcebook said that their several netherworlds, and the Nightlords destroyed one. Dimensional travel in the Megaverse is almost as casual as walking from Uptown to Downtown. Succor-Bemoth should have known better than to casually stroll through someone else's...

Just thought I would mention that my game is full, but I will be making the rounds to meet everyone. I am actually really shocked, since it has been 12 years since I ran a game at GenCon, and have never ran anything Palladium. BTW, anyone who needs help/wants imput, feel free to hit me up! Last tim...

I think skill use shows up different in different groups and players work. I have some players that want to talk it out and role-play the situation, others aren't as gifted in that area so they choose to let the dice speak for them. To encourage the use of skills, you need to build in problems wher...

I prefer a little of both. Some situations are not about talking it out and roleplaying and you need the dice to figure out what happened. Swimming does come to mind, as do the medical skills. Some situations are just built for roleplaying even if there is a skill available to cover it. Courtly and...

Jussayin.

Agreed. Dice rolls and character stats also keep players in check...at least sometimes.

Thanks everyone! We'll see if someone cleverly applies their Housekeeping (Professional Quality) skill.

I'm running a game session at Gen Con and I am looking for suggestions or techniques for giving players more opportunities to utilize their skills. Does anyone have any techniques they developed over the years to encourage skill use and more role-playing? I've considered incorporating something simi...

It looks as if GenCon accepted my GM request. Event #RPG1465371, Rifts: The Shadow of Mikaboshi, is available. Two and a half weeks isn't a bad turn around for a late submission. Hope to see some of you there!

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep checking.

I just applied to host a Rifts game last night. Does anyone know how long it takes for Gencon to approve and establish a location for said event?

Also keep in mind the Midgard Serpent is more than likely not going to appreciate someone nailing themselves to "his" tree. Odin is likely to give the Midgard Serpent pause before he considers attacking. A pitiful Yamabushi is likely to make a quick snack.

If you want to stay in canon as much as possible, what about making Copán a staging area for the Sons of Quetzocoatl, and they are preventing a Vampire Intelligence from taking over the ruins?

I submitted mine almost a year ago.

I would love a copy of your Chicagoland map.

Has Palladium released anything other than Promise of Power and the ill-fated character generator?

I contributed the NGR Anthropological Field Operative and the War Machinist and I can't wait to get my copy in the mail!
