What is that?

I was just wondering if there were any gurps books or other brands that could be used or converted to palladiums system for other planets or time travel or alternate realities or apocalyptic settings. Now I'm not asking for how to convert because I think we can't post that, just what books I could u...

Thom001

I saw a topic in the rifts forum for world books wanted by fans and was wondering what HU books anybody would want? Myself I would love about the early heroes. Like when they first appeared in this world and how the world initially took (or didn't) to the heroes.

Thom001

Well, as for the conversion there were some rule changes. It's not a big issue since the 1st edition books have all been converted, with the exception of the Yin-Sloth Jungles. There are several threads on the topic that you can search and read. It's been discussed rather thoroughly. Palladium's Fa...

Hi I've not really played in pf and have some questions. My first question is what was first edition like? I was reading the description about one of the books and it said conversion necessary, what is it referring to? My next question is what are books 4 and 5? And finally is pf more like dungeons ...

Thom001

a book about Gus' galaxy grill diner. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Really though I just want to know what dimension book 9 is?

Thom001

This sounds great. On a related note, is there anything in any of the rifters that is for bts?

Thom001

I have read some really good ideas on here. Of them my favorites are rifts hollow earth, rifts mars, rifts more on the republicans, rifts counter earth i think it was, and islands in the pacific. Me personally I want rifts -Australia 2 and 3 we need more road warrior like stuff. all the time. -Lazlo...

Hello all, I am not sure if this question belongs here or in another forum but, I remember as a child watching this episode of the turtles where a new human character was introduced and the turtles mutated again, but at will. They became much bigger and the show took on a slightly darker theme. I th...

Hello all, I was wondering if the time a npc has been in an occupation ever factors into what level that npc is? I really never made my npcs have an actual level, I just gave them the skills and or abilities I needed for them to have for the plot line he or she was involved in. However, another gm i...

Saving the Joker was more to prevent Nightwing from becoming a murderer than anything else. For Batman, while he is taking the law into his own hands, he is not judge, jury or an executioner (well... at least not the last one). That is the line he doesn't cross... one that he has to fight every day...

Thom001

It looks like you're overgeneralizing from fairly isolated events in those heroes' lives. During the Clone Saga (which started okay but editorial mishandling to drag it out for more profit left it a hopeless mess) you've got Spider-man's very identity being threatened, the existence of his clone ca...

I think some definition of 'Modern Good' could be used, that seems way more vague and can mean many different things (unlike classic good). I only meant that the comic characters written back in the day (WW2 era) were at one point a story written to entertain but also had a certain message inside t...

Thom001

He is the driven hero who accepts nothing in his life other than his pursuit of his mission. Yes, and I agree with that, but with the methods he chooses to use, does he go too far to still be considered a hero? Or is he more of a less immoral anti-hero than the rest? I tend to think of him as anti-...

[ Oh, well now I'm very disappointed. Why? It opens up all sorts of possibilities...as in where the morlocks originated from? Tirolian refugees? Tirolian genetic experiments? Alien primitives? Lost inhabitants of Macross Island? Mutated construction workers from the refit of the SDF-1? Protoculture...

Also something that I haven't seen anyone else mention. Different highly intelligent people use their higher intelligence in different ways. Some try to master their academic skills quicker. Some use their higher IQ to get better at abusing the system. Others use it to build physical skills quicker....

wow. Those are some quick deaths. Did either of you get to make a new character and rejoin the group? Yes, made a new character and joined up in the next town.

There are morlocks in this? Like the devolved people living underground from the time machine h.g.wells morlock?

Thom001

Alright then. Thanks.

Thom001

Well when I play a magic character I like to play a nature or mental mage with one or two physical spells on the side, more of a seeker of lost worlds than a set the world on fire kind. If I'm a psionic I like to also add some kind of insanity or not quite stable or a bad temper that spikes his psio...

Thom001

No seriously, why is the dimensional crossroads so dead set against super powers? ? And races and power categories designed to bounce seamlessly between mdc and sdc worlds?? Demigods, godlings, mega heroes, immortals. I see lots of fan made stuff in games on rifts but posting about them on the foru...

Remember; one dimension's everyday joe is another dimension's monster.

Hi everyone, I have been reading through some of the topics here and I started to wonder how you guys decide what kind of campaign you are going to play and such? I know for my group each player or gm has a list of game types and settings they want to play in. When it is time to play another campaig...

Thom001

I hear that a lot actually. And I get it. I personally think they should get back to that whole what is god doing on earth these days that they hinted at way back in season 4? or was it 5?

Thom001

I have a different question. Is it official or canon or whatever that chaos earth is rifts past?

Thom001

I haven't played this game yet but I was curious as to how you guys prefer to play this game? What I mean is do you prefer to play as a group of super monster hunters out to rid the world of supernatural evil? Do you play as the ordinary Joe mechanic that gets sucked into the unknown world that live...

Completely understandable. I still watch the show to this day. But then again I love the completely crazy dynamic the show has taken on as time has gone on.

Thom001

I recently got to thinking about how different my groups rifts games are today as opposed to the way we played when we only had the rifts main book. The first thing that comes to mind is how we play the NG and the xiticix. Second is of course how we play the CS. Back when we only had rmb the ng was ...

Thom001

That makes sense. I just always wondered how other people thought of him because he is dark and sometimes scary in his pursuit of right and wrong. However, He doesn't (or didn't last time I read a batman comic, 1999) go as far as say the punisher or wolverine.

Thom001

Just to be clear because it might not be clear, the option of no secret identity meant a hero who is a hero all of the time and has no other persona.

Thom001

On a side note do you consider batman to be an anti hero? I ask because that is the arch type that at least one person in our group tends to play when we play a heroes campaign. I always have considered him to be an anti-hero.

Thom001

The skill has been written up numerous times. You might look for it in the We Gots the Skills thread in the Heroes Unlimited section of the forum or in the Palladium Fantasy section. I have seen good writeups and also terrible ones. Happy hunting. Thanks. I'll look specifically for those. Some of t...

The way I play tech in palladium is Normal weapons do no damage to MDC items Magic/magic items/psionics/magic creatures etc does MDC damage to the mdc armour/items even though it does sdc damage normally. Really high tech devices have a %10 chance cumulative of failure (plasma rifles, anti grav bel...

Thom001

My group only plays gritty anti-hero games when we have superhero campaigns, but then we only have played in rifts so far. It's just doesn't seem to fit too well in rifts games. However, if we ever do play an HU game I would hope everyone in the group agrees to play a true heroes game.

Thom001

So what part isn't the mostly? Well like I said to CK a few thousand people. Two groups indigenous, one military. And maybe, but probably not a "civilian" collective. Sounds good. There are questions I wanted to ask about the manuscript but as this is an unfinished book I do not know how ...

Hello, I have been talking to the gm about things I have been reading about making the md stuff sdc and nerfing it or making it fizzle and not work. He is excited about the prospects.

Hello all, I was wondering, like the title suggests, if there is anywhere in palladium books the skill of parkour (freerunning)? If not any suggestions to use existing skills for parkour skill creation? There is no official skill for such. You will find here on the forums, and in other places, writ...

No, he never got a chance to talk to the pilot. He also never found out his name. Every time the two came into contact with each other violence immediately started (originally it was the pilot who started the violence, whose name was actually Steiner as the player told me, but after an encounter or ...

It would have to be a tie between Corporal William Cole or Mr. Black Corporal Cole was a genius level vagabond that eventually joined the NG forces (used the cs grunt as a template) after a bit of time working freelance to help them. He was assigned to a team that officially had nothing to do with a...

Okay. Well I think I'll stick to 2nd edition then. Also my group has gotten the idea to go hopping dimensions after a ley line rifter and one of the stops will be pf.

I recycle old or dead pcs from previous game so there is lots of details. Also when another player throws away a character I ask if I can keep it to add to my flock. I tend to alter their appearance or personality from the original in either slight or very dramatic ways. But that is only the npcs th...

Thom001

So I know in rifts I recycle characters all the time. I take a character that was a pc and make them a npc and change their appearance (sometimes slightly, sometimes drastically) and personality while keeping skills, gear, etc, and introduce them as allies or bad guys or something. How many of you o...

Thom001

Honestly, I'd advise against going until you have the books, and a way of dealing with the MDC gear. My advice would be to have their gear go on the fritz due to a nasty dimensional gateway trip to the BTS world (not an unlikely situation as its extremely rare for anything besides the supernatural ...
