How about the total lack of mention that Ley Lines and Nexus Points increase magic range/duration/damage. They still note it for Psychics under Mind Melter and Burster, but nothing at all for magic. RUE 182 under Ley Lines & Nexus Points says spells are enhanced 50% when within 2 miles of a ley...

If I had come a month earlier this may have been useful, but lets go for it anyway.

Here I whipped this up for you in Dungeondraft, used my best guesses as to where the doors where since the image is not great.

I was seriously thinking about picking up the glitterboy model after watching the Squidmar video about the worlds most reflective paint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umSyTxhUoaA The best news was basically that Vallejo Metal Color silver is almost as reflective and actually designed for minis so ...

I find the Burbs/Chi Town area pretty confusing overall. The art certainly doesn't mesh with the write up of it either. The inner cover of the RUE shows this crazy sky scraper ridden cyberpunk metropolis, but the description of "Old Town" or the inner-most ring of the Burbs only averages ...

I have tried a few one-offs with various actions/melee distribution, both from suggestions on this forum and elsewhere. The two options I have ended up liking the most are polar opposites in complexity. First is the alternate Initiative rules from temporal-nexus.net (which seems to be down as of pos...

I agree with this.

Just curious, why do you all want stuff that is already published, but now made official, instead of say new content in the book?

BuzzardB

The idea of this is really cool and something I have certainly wanted. Well I want the miniatures at least, we will see about the game itself. I wasn't burned by RTT and was very content with the Savage Rifts Kickstarter so I am not sure, is the Kickstarter for this board game going to be entirely h...

Hand to Hand: Basic is described as an elementary form of combat training . RUE Page 347 So while not extensive it is still combat training, meaning if you have it you should be considered combat trained. Looks like out of the 5 practitioners of Magic in the RUE only Mystics and Techno-Wizards don't...

Hmmm across the two Rifts campaigns I have been a part of I believe we have used.

Got my giant Savage Rifts package today along with the colour Rifts card deck I added on last minute because it seemed awesome. Love the cards, going to be perfect for the initiative deck. I appreciate the fact every card has unique art, no doubles or anything. http://i.imgur.com/3jgAia3.jpg

WHAT is your favorite Palladium book that has been RECENTLY published? WHY is that one your favorite recent Palladium book? I am going to let you decide what is recent. I am thinking "past 5 years", but you may feel "past 10 years" or even "past 3 years" is how you wan...

Man I am so excited for this, I absolutely love the Savage Worlds ruleset. I brought the sci fi companion and the fantasy companion to start my own personal project of making a Rifts game for my players and then shortly after Savage Rifts was announced. Pretty awesome news I must say.

BuzzardB

Welp I guess that means I can stop my work in converting Rifts to Savage Worlds...

This is great news indeed.

BuzzardB

On episode 21 or so. So far so good.

I agree that Spiffy seems to take control a lot, but it also sounds the the other players don't take initiative themselves. Might be a good thing he is or else there would be a lot of awkward silences.

BuzzardB

I suspect, though, that if Palladium's rules system WAS to be re-organized to where all the rules were in plain view, a lot of people might be unpleasantly surprised at what they saw. I found compiling the actual rules into a Word document to be very instructive, and not at all unpleasant. I am a l...

BuzzardB

That's awesome, really looking forward to this one. I have only played a one-off game of Palladium Fantasy in the past, but everyone at my table really enjoyed it so Id like to get some more material. When was this book announced originally? Feels like it went from being non-existant to being at the...

If I were to start someone new right now I would probably recommend:

Rifts Ultimate Edition
Rifts Book of Magic
Rifts Bionic Sourcebook.
World Book of choice

I think you are grossly underestimated how much time and money goes into making games, even indie ones.

Even at the most basic of hiring 3 to 5 guys full time for a few years to pump out a game is obviously not going to be cheap.

BuzzardB

I would be up for half-price PDF's, though I think following Paizo's $9.99 PDF route is better myself. I don't think they need to wait 6 months before releasing a PDF after a physical book, BUT if doing that means PDFs are more likely to happen then I am good with it. Small steps and all that. I can...

I am glad I am not the only one who looked at Lesser, Greater, Major, Minor and went...what?

Especially now that you have said minor are weaker than lesser. Well give us some stats on some minor ones eh!

Using this particular table, looking at Tolkeen forces, They'd have a total of about 175 level 9+ warlocks (those with the capability of summoning greater elementals, each of which could lay waste to divisions).

What I really want in a World Book these days is history and info about the area, good maps of both the local geography and the town itself, characters with stats, lots of plot ideas and flavour. Stuff that helps me GM, that saves me the time of doing that stuff myself. Also, the stupid thing with ...

Unless your playing Warhammer and have a million opponents to choose form people will probably take whatever games they can against whoever they can. Painted armies or not.

Not sure, from what I saw in CWC it doesn't say its a Burst, just has two settings. 2d6 and 4d6

If it's part of the overall story arc, then you really can't just blow off major plot points and head off on your own. Of coarse you can, you can do whatever you want in your game.

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...

The RUE didn't gather ALL the rules and clarify ALL the rules, but it did gather A LOT of the rules and clarified SOME. For me the update to all the OCC's was my favorite part of the RUE.

Hmmmm.... everything the blurb states is truthful. Where is the bait and switch? I don't agree with the other guy that it was a bait and switch, but I too read through that book and wondered why they named it after the least substantial part of the book. Something like "Cities and Adventures&q...
