Non-Knight Military Personnel of the Republic Characters who are part of the Pan-European Pan-Asian Republic' military, but not in the elite Knights Corp will typically be something that resembles one of these O.C.C.s (the Coalition-specific ones will be significantly altered; for one thing, the eq...

There's a Millenium Tree in Ireland, and another on the other major island near the disputed border of Albion and Cymru. That means there are a few Millenium Druids in the British Isles in addition to the men of magic character classes already listed under the Republic Knights. Remember in this area...

Has anybody else done Mega Hero Gestalt or Imbued? I'm kind of working on one of each. I have a World of Darkness game that's reached a natural endpoint, and am trying to sell the players on a Palladium game as at least a one-off. The consensus seems to be: it might be fun but character generation t...

I like your checklist. One idea it's given me is how to have a team cover niches better. A good brick build can be both offense and defense, but will usually be lacking transportation, information, and utility. So pair him with a teleporter or a good vehicles guy or something. Maybe put a Psychic or...

Character creation for Zorkians Part 1 Since the education and background tables in TMNT and Other Strangeness and After the Bomb second edition are both inappropriate to the setting, I've done some tinkering.

Thank you for answering my question. When my friend asked me, I initially suggested maybe Federation of Magic. I have the book but haven't read it thoroughly yet. Rechecking the map, though, it's clear the Lazlos are outside of the Magic Zone, as such. Rifts is up to 30 World Books now; a good chunk...

khyron1144

Are there any boks specifically on Lazlo or New Lazlo?

I had a friend ask me that because my Rifts collection is better than his, and my answer was: not that I can recall for sure.

Not soon. I would have to get a copy of Splicers and familiarize myself with its contents first. I might eventually, though.

Ditto for Dead Reign.

A man showed up in the Wallachia area of Romania. He claimed to be Vlad sometimes known as Tepes <The Impaler> also known as Dracula <Little Dragon or Son of the Dragon>. He claimed Wallachia as his Principality. Strangley enough, the locals seem willing enough to go along. It would be rather too t...

Interesting ideas. I like how you've used the various book to create a harmonious world. Glad you like it. Adventure Seed 2: One day there is a worldwide Solar eclipse. It was not predicted, started suddenly, and lasted about an hour. Strangely, the main after-effects were political. A man showed u...

Ok then.

The cute little slug girls were funny.

Well that's about it. My curisousity is about the fact that Robotech is basically low mana/ P.P.E. The Perytonians can do might as well be magic, but that's about it as far as magic in the Robotech universe, right? The Rifts Conversion Book suggests what superpowers confer an M.D.C. and the ability ...

This is an idea I started developing back in middle school. Basically I owned TMNT and Other Stragneness and Robotech and sort of tried welding them together into one world. Then I added more stuff as I got more Palladium Games. The basic premise is: Robotech's timeline of events is accurate up to t...

The Arthropod Four Earth is not alone. Even in our immediate stellar neighborhood there is humanoid life on the planets around Alpha Centauri, Proxima Centauri, Barnard's Star, and Sirius.

yup they do, look at it another way. you have an immortal demon prince who has specialised in magic over the last 2000years, does it make sense that he has littlemore ppe than your average human mage?

You remember that most of HPL's fiction actually takes place in NY and Massachusetts, right? So RI proper may not be that interesting, though if they did a whole New England worldbook... Yeah, I kind of forgot about that. I keep thinking because Lovecraft spent so much time in Rhode Island, more of...

My Rifts group was blue-skying about sourcebooks they'd like to see, and someone came up with the idea of a World Book for Salem. Stuff about witches and so on...

I voted for Heroes Unlimited and DC Heroes (old). DC Heroes, especially the second edition had some of the best sourcebooks ever. I like the geometrically increasing scale of the APs system. I like the APs system for giving us a pretty good way of figuring how heavy of an object Superman could lift ...

One thought you might consider to avoid having the fieldwork girl being thought of as a Mandarin clone, make it a variety of really minor enchanted items, a ring or two here, a belt there, a cloak there, an amulet/ necklace thing, and so on adding up to all together the suite of powers or spells you...

then the GM gets to decide whether the weapon works for the mutant or not. the weapon could simply decide that the character isn't worthy of accessing its powers. That is more or less what I thought. If such a situation came up in my game, I would allow the use of the magic weapon, giving the chara...

I'm looking at the Immortals section in Powers Unlimited 2, thinking of ideas for a big campaign villain. Sort of the guy that the player characters will fight at the end.

I have a question of my own: Suppose two characters of the same alignment on the same team are a superpowered Mutant and a guy with a Magic Weapon.

...and the Bugs are fleeing from -IT- No, you don't want to know what -IT- is... -IT- is bad...very bad... Consider this idea officially stolen. I think this might be how, I'd incorporate some Rifts elements into the setting. Maybe make IT a Vampire Intelligence or Alien Inteligence or a Splugorth.

Okay, let's see in 1979 Doc Feral at Bio-Spawn creates the first mutated animal with humanoid characteristics.

Neither is very mobile.

Hutts are immune to Force-based mind manipulation.

It's a sort of toss-up, but I'd bet on the Steersman.

Fresh and Clean underwear will be worth ten times it weight in gold.
