It says on his profile that he's visited the site last week.

I'm guessing not dead, just extremely busy or some other event from that capricious condition known as Real Life.

Antimony

Yes, quite a few, with varied strains. One of my favorite is a vampire hunter Shade. She's not pretty and her powers are flanked by nothing, but she's as cunning as a cat (has to be, to survive). On a side note, how do those who use Rifter 49 treat the Wampyr power of instinctively "knowing&quo...

What Razorwing said. But I also had a few ideas: Gang or biker related The Brimstoners. Pikesfield Marshalls. The Chopper Knights. The Atoners. Amityville Riders. The Crossroaders. Ichor Runners. Those more psychically inclined ESPers (unless that's copyrighted?) NORAD (to add potentially interestin...

Cool. Thanks for responding, guys.

I've always been very limber with those kinds of "issues." If someone wanted a domain between an Average Domain and a Large one (would that be called a "Larvage" Domain, or an "Avarg" one? Arg? Anyway . . .) And was willing to sacrifice 100 P.P.E. for 400 so they'd have...

Antimony

Cool. Thanks for the answers. I can definitely see only a powerful (Elder) Guardian being able to grant a Channeller powers. My thoughts on a Nightlord doing this, however, have always been centered around the why factor. As in, why would a nearly omnipotent being deign to give an insect powers? The...

Antimony

On page 14 of Through the Glass Darkly , near the bottom of the page under the heading, Random Source of Channeller's Powers , subsection 26-35 , it lists a "powerful Guardian" as a potential source. Presuming that Guardian in question (ideally, I imagine, an NPC) has a character sheet wit...

I have loved Nightbane a ton but I dont think that this avenue has really been explored. I was wondering if there is a fan base (Palladium and otherwise) that would love stories about survival, success, evil and love etc. etc... with a heavy Nightbane theme? Not sure I'd buy one . . . Too many vari...

It is not so muck about the furnishings as it is the "feel". Sorry, I think of furnishings as a part of the "feel." How do you interpret it? Glitterboy came up with some great suggestions on some looks, I think, which I regard as part of the "feel," too. Maybe I'm just...

Now...What would it cost to secretly turn it into a proper mages' base of operations? Sorry, real life keeps getting in the way . . . So, if you're interested still in cost, I'm going to presume you want plumbing and light (gas? Electric?) down there, among all the coziness of the Victorianesque am...

Good point, Antimony: technology marches on. Thanks, though the credit should go to Cybermancer. (A search will show his thread, I think.) Although I was pointing out, but forgot to mention it, that technology can be used by the good guys too, and not simply for terror. But yes, technology does mar...

Specifically, he has Physical Perfection and Living Tattoos (which are under his control). He keeps his tattoos on one arm most of the time, but moves them when he wants to look imposing (or when he loses control, becomes angry/scared, etc.). I like the Heroes Unlimited idea, where people are just ...

Simply put, at what range do you begin to be affected by Horror Factor? If you see a dragon in the distance, do you have to roll then, or only when it gets close-up? I don't know if it has been addressed anywhere, but a cursory search of the boards didn't yield any answers. I ask because of a situa...

Antimony

I enjoy it already, although I don't doubt there are a few charlatans on it, too. I mean, honestly, are you really going to hear a psychic say, "Your (dead) mother is very disappointed in how you're living your life"? No, readings like that would drive people away even if it were true. We ...

Antimony

I guess I should have asked the currency you're going to use, as well (the talk of credits and gold had me wondering if you're using BtS as rules in a different setting). Are we talking dollars or pounds? If your character will be doing all the work herself (himself?), other issues might come into p...

Antimony

After watching fights in such movies like Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon and Knights, even if they're choreographed, I'd be willing to make concessions to players with high P.P. scores and even higher imaginations.

Dracula , by Bram Stoker, was actually written while incorporating "cutting edge" technology. The gramophone was first patented in 1887; the widespread use of the term "hypnosis" wasn't in use until the 1880s, either. And the protagonists consistently use technology and modernis...

i love to see Tome Grotesque and Beyond Arcanum and Maybe ther could be a BtS Adventures Soucebook with 101 adventures. I would rather see a half dozen good fleshed out adventures than a hundred flimsy adventure ideas. I think I'd rather have the 101 ideas than the 6 fleshed adventures (though both...

I think there was a faerie in Rifts Canada that was similar in concept as well.

The fulgurite is petrified lightning. So instead of calling lighting and risking damaging my house...I use that. And let's just say that my character has issues with McDonald's. Ah. And the "charging" of the gems? (Sounds like something from Morrowind. . . I don't have a whole lot of Rift...

So far as I know they only appear in BtS1. If you read between the text then it would appear that the Guardians from Nightbane are a continuation of the same idea. I'm going to have to reread my copy. Pepsi Jed: I'very only ever found UFOnauts in BtS1. P.S. Sorry, you'very probably long since gotte...

Now...What would it cost to secretly turn it into a proper mages' base of operations? Sounds really cool! (Although, I admit, you lost me on why you did various things . . . But, anyway . . .) What do you mean by "proper" mage's base? The definition is different for everyone, I think. For...

I don't have Century Station , so I can't help with the actual make up of the city, but here are some thoughts. . . In the book Nightlands , page 13, it states that the oceans of the Nightlands aren't water, but sand and gravel, pitted with blowing dust, sulphur, coal, and sinkholes. Perhaps the pip...

One O.C.C I've always thought would be fun to try was the Dream Maker from Nightbane.

Virtually all fan fiction is considered non-canon for those settings... unless they've gotten permission to make it canon (rare, but possible) I wouldn't be writing it with the hopes of it becoming canon. I'd be flattered if it became so, but my aspirations haven't been that high. Of course, if you...

I'm not too familiar with copyright laws (though I really ought to be ). Would we be allowed to write such things (and post them on, say, a fanfiction site)? Or would that be a breach of property / ideas? I'd check. I would, too. And did. This site is, I think, a good indication of what's allowed: ...

In nightbane there are sorcerous proficiencies and limitations . Why not psionic proficiencies and limitations ? Do you mean psionic proficiency and limitations for BtS-2? I think, in a sense, BtS already has them: Psychic Sensitive is very in tune with the "flow" of the world around her ...

Since I was thinking about returning to Lazlo, I sent in my request. Don't know exactly what I'm going to be doing in either, though. Or about the level of my activity.

*edited once to thank Natasha for her prompt reply and acceptance of me. You're awesome.

Antimony

I really dislike epic BtS games. I won't even play. It stretches my sense of disbelief to the breaking point. Intimate scale all the way. I think one reason I like smaller stakes is it feels like you can fail at them without the game ending, so the risk of failure is greater. Almost my thoughts exa...

What are people's thoughts on the vampirik of said Rifter, on page 67? Personally, I rather like it, and how it is keeping with the idea of "corpses can't have kids." Though I'm struggling to come up with a plausible reason on why the vampirik "grows" at the rate of normal childr...

Is that just "creative usage" of that phrase, or are you trying to tell us something? Also, can we use some of your creations for the Lazlo website? All creative I assure you, I have no plans to tear down the House of BTS. I'm a huge fan of the Lazlo site (I was the 1st Non-Palladium staf...

Was just checking my email when I read this and thought, with a bit of twisting, it could turn into a fun adventure for Beyond the Supernatural , the Lazlo Society boards, or whatever else people like to play using real world news.

Was just curious if anyone has figured out any threat levels for the demons and deevils in the Hades and Dyval books? I know it's a different setting but I'd be curious to see if/how people have used them in a BTS setting. Thanks. Sorry, I don't have the Dyval books. However, I have PFRPG and BtS-2...

For some odd reason, I immediately started thinking of Batman vs Dracula and Dracula's cloak. The streamers remind me very much of a nest of cobras, could be used to conduct electricity or whatnot, and might also serve as distractions. It's not so much as a "costume" as it is an accessory.

IMHO the book doesnt set the world alight but it IS useful. Like all RPG books you'll use some stuff and dislike others. discontinuing it in a line with so little sourcebooks wasnt needed.

I am still going to have to do something different with the SDC, because the way I have it is way too low, either that or make the power a minor.

Just curious, how do you build tension and encourage creative (noncombative) problem solving without the possibility of the characters dying? Oh, I never said I won't kill off characters.

This is a question that is problematic for me both as a player and as a GM. As a player it is hard to know when you can take something and when you can't and to some degree it doesn't even matter, if one guy in the player group charges in I am compelled to back him up, at least until he dies (or I ...
