Villains Unlimited would be good to get if you're going to need some villains. Both Gramercy Island and Century Station are wonderful. Mutant Underground is another favorite of mine. For space opera ideas, Aliens Unlimited, the Aliens Unlimited Galaxy Guide, and Skraypers would be good to get. Other...

Puroresu

I would say the music from the Macross Plus soundtracks is good, especially some of the classical orchestral pieces for a battle song. I enjoy the Sharon Apple pieces as well.

Puroresu

Well, I finally got my copy today. I absolutely love it! Well worth the wait! Carl Gleba did another wonderful masterpiece!

Puroresu

Well, I just found out my local game store will be getting my pre-order next week instead of this week. Argh! Anticipation driving me nuts!

If you're into gods for your RIFTS campaign, you might want to purchase Pantheons of the Megaverse. This book has gods and goddesses from Greek/Roman mythology as well as Aztec, Indian, Persian, Norse, etc. Rifter #6 has the Russian Gods. Rifts World Book: England has the Celtic gods. Rifts World Bo...

I know it's been a while since I've posted on here. Favorite animes that remind me of Rifts or any other Palladium title: Macross Plus (great for those Robotech players), Akira, Ghost in the Shell. One comic that comes to mind is one from the 1990s put out by Defiant Comics called Dark Dominion. The...

Puroresu

I wondered if someone would try to create stats for FDR. There are other people I've always wanted to do: Adolf Hitler, JFK, Martin Luther King, Jr., Winston Churchhill, Stalin, Mao, Gandhi, Einstein, etc. Especially for a Heroes Unlimited World War II or 1960s counterculture campaign. Yes, it's tru...

Puroresu

Yeah, I agree, this could definitely work with Armageddon Unlimited, Beyond the Supernatural, Rifts, Chaos Earth, Heroes Unlimited, Nightbane, etc.

Puroresu

Oh yeah, I can definitely see the teddy bear from Akira in that color picture.

Puroresu

Well, I think all the writers did a fabulous job on the profiles. Hard to pick a favorite one. The artwork was terrific too.

Puroresu

To the writers who did the profiles for Rifter #39: awesome job! I got mine in the mail from Palladium two days ago. The artwork is wonderful and I love the profiles! Definitely hard to choose a favorite.

Puroresu

You are absolutely correct on the Lost Ones from Rifts Mercenaries. I like this idea of linking up Rifts, Nightbane, Chaos Earth through Transdimensional TMNT. Carl Gleba's Megaversal Builder book is another good source to use for your campaign.

Puroresu

Some of the early Rifters have some good Nightbane material as well. Rifter #13 has a good section. Another Rifter has a section on the Mafia's role in Nightbane.

Puroresu

I like this concept a lot! Makes you wonder about the Cold War era with super patriots on both sides. The ones believing in democracy and the ones believing in communism. I see a lot of potential in this.

Puroresu

I agree! This has tons of potential! So that's how Fidel Castro survives. Yeah, the Nightbane Underground Railroad, drug smuggling, etc. This is awesome.

Puroresu

Nightbane: Las Vegas has a lot of potential here. Nice conspiracies, plus we could see Nightlords play No Limit Texas Hold 'Em Poker or Baccarat in Wynn Las Vegas, Bellagio, etc. I can see a Gentlemen's Club here, as in the old kind, not the strip clubs of today.

Puroresu

Yeah, I often wondered trying HU in different eras such as the Victorian era of England (Sherlock Holmes, Charles Dickens) or Nazi Germany before World War II broke out. Another is the Gangster era (1930s, Al Capone) or Communist China in the 1960s. Has anyone tried a conspiracy/Illuminati-style cam...

Puroresu

This is really cool stuff. I like the Revelations and Prometheans factions a lot. Prometheus as an elder Nightbane is a neat play on Prometheus, the Titan, as father and caretaker of the human race, especially in regards to fire. This would certainly make a wonderful Rifter article.

Puroresu

I agree, the Warrior Angel RCC is awesome! I want to see some more!

Puroresu

I too love the mysterious aspect of Nightbane. That's what appeals to me the most. I also wonder how it all plays out in the grand scheme of things in the Megaverse with the Old Ones and the Wars of Light and Darkness. Lots of great conspiracy theory ideas from this RPG.

The above link should give you some inspiration on your Russian Superhero Team idea. Hope it's useful. Obviously, we don't want any conversions from it.

Puroresu

Yeah, you're right on Hitler telling the Germans what they wanted to hear. Still, it was interesting seeing the propaganda creating the illusion of a leader believing in order and discipline, when the reality revealed chaos and confusion behind the scenes.

Puroresu

I've always wanted to try Adolf Hitler for a World War II-style HU game. Hitler had supernatural/superhuman charisma in his lifetime. Of course, there's Stalin as "the iron man". How about Franklin Delano Roosevelt possessing ESP? I've often wondered how come I haven't seen a historical HU...

Puroresu

Beelzeboro, I loved your stuff on your web site. Please bring it back when you get a chance! Especially the Ancient Conspiracies (I loved the Companions of Horus) and the Book of Origins. I'm still trying to figure out how to do a campaign involving Angels vs. Demons a la Steve Jackson Games' In Nom...

Puroresu

The Chess Club is awesome! Keep it going! This puts Checkmate to shame! By the way, were you the one who did Lady Green? She is a cool version of DC's Poison Ivy character.

Puroresu

I'm interested in getting a copy of Beyond the Supernatural: Second Edition because I want to try out a campaign with characters facing angels and demons in a modern-day setting. Some inspiration comes from In Nomine by Steve Jackson Games. Obviously, I don't want to do any conversions on here, but ...

Puroresu

Hey, Lord Cherico or Blight! Either one of you going to submit any more ideas to this Nephilim thing? I think it sounds great so far!

So how would other angels fit into this? For example, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, Michael, Azrael, etc.

Puroresu

You better have a femme fatale involved. Another source of inspiration is the Batman Animated Series introduced back in 1992 because of the noir setting, especially the episode that introduced Poison Ivy. Talk about a femme fatale in more ways than one. Good luck on your campaign!

Puroresu

I actually liked it. I thought they did a decent job. I loved the profiles on the Mutant Underground heroes and villains. I especially loved the Mutant Task Force on two guys who look like rejects from Men in Black or The X Files! It could have been a little better in some areas.

Puroresu

Well, I came up with a cool name: Lord Oblivion! He is an ambassador on behalf of Utu, Lord of the Dead from the Palladium Fantasy game. Or maybe the twin brother of Death from Discworld. Either way, he'll be accepted with open arms in Atlantis, Hades, Dyval, and The Phoenix Empire.

Puroresu

Psionics Unlimited would be awesome! Yeah, I agree, Psyscape wasn't much as far as new psionic templates, powers, etc. I'm still looking for a telekinetic flight, force bolts, force field a la Marvel Girl from X-Men. Besides, The Rift Entity (it's a character from one of the Rifts Index & Advent...

Puroresu

I really like this idea based on John Constantine for Nightbane. The Nightbane theme fits him more than say Beyond the Supernatural. I agree with a lot of the previous ideas. Through the Glass Darkly is an excellent book! I wouldn't mind trying out what I know from the Constantine movie starring Kea...

Puroresu

Yeah, I noticed some of the changes that were made to Shadows of Light versus the article in Rifter #16 about the Athanatos. I still don't know as to whether or not they made a good addition to Nightbane or not. They're basically Spirits of Light in human form. I'm still scratching my head over The ...

Puroresu

Oh, yeah, baby! This book is awesome! Great job, Carmen! This is a great addition to Powers Unlimited 1 and 2! I like some of the new powers such as Jinx, Earth Possession, Fireworks (I've been waiting for this to come out!) Personally, I think they shouldn't have reprinted the powers from Galaxy Gu...

Puroresu

Well, my copy of Powers Unlimited 3 arrived from Palladium in the mail today! I'll take a good look at it tonight and tomorrow.

Puroresu

Found out HobbyTown USA in Boise, Idaho just ran out of Powers Unlimited 3 so I went ahead and ordered my copy direct from Palladium. Besides, I can easily get the titles I want online than I can purchase them directly from the retailers. Idaho is raising the sales tax to 6% starting October 1st.

Puroresu

This Nephilim idea is awesome! I like Blight's hierarchy of the Seraphim, Cherubim, etc. I always wanted to try this type of campaign ever since I watched movies like The Prophecy and parts of The Omen. I recently purchased Rapture: The Second Coming from Holistic Designs and a couple In Nomine book...

Puroresu

Has anyone ever tried a campaign based on the real-life Troubles in Northern Ireland involving the IRA? I'm not talking about Catholics versus Protestants but rather the Unionists versus the Republicans. I suppose you could create some very interesting superheroes and supervillains for a Heroes Unli...

Puroresu

Yes, Pantheons of the Megaverse will work with Heroes Unlimited as will Dragons & Gods from Palladium Fantasy. Honorable mention: Rifts: Spirit West for Native American gods, Rifts: England for Celtic gods, Rifts: Australia for Aboriginal gods, The Rifter #6 for Russian gods. That's all the ones...

Puroresu

Yeah, I found my copy of The Justice Machine at Powell's Bookstore in Beaverton, Oregon. I think it's closer to a near-mint copy. It definitely has some great campaign ideas. I also found a copy of Rifts: Manhunter while I was there.

Puroresu

Well, I got back from Portland, Oregon and managed to stop at Powells Book Store and guess what I found? Rifts: Manhunter AND The Justice Machine! Of course, I picked both of them up. Yeah, I saw Cosmic Enforcers but I didn't get it because it wasn't the Palladium system itself. I also purchased GUR...

Puroresu

Here are some recommendations I have for your Heroes Unlimited Campaign: Nightbane is good if you want it to be dark, Gothic, horror-style a la DC Comics' Vertigo format. Villains Unlimited is really good for some quick villains. Gramercy Island is great and so is Century Station. For dimensional tr...

Puroresu

Yes, I too love GURPS IST and I'm so glad I have a copy to keep this time! In some ways, I wish it was easy to adapt some of the history of Shadowrun into Rifts, however, thanks to Rifts, we don't have to worry about a dragon becoming President of the United States nor do we have to worry about larg...

Puroresu

I use quite a different number of sources in my campaigns. Comic books such as CrossGen's The First, old DC issues such as Who's Who in the Legion of Super-Heroes, DC's Infinite Crisis, etc. I have a few non-Palladium books for resources. GURPS International Super Teams is a good one. A Babylon 5 RP...

Puroresu

This is for Sentinel: I am very interested in your Rifter article on creating cosmic-like beings, gods, etc. I've been thinking about creating an Avatar out of Powers Unlimited Two for an Olympian god not mentioned in Pantheons of the Megaverse, specifically, Thanatos, Greek God of Death. If you cou...

Puroresu

You could have a Church of the Nazarene Inquisition. The only difference is that it would be led by women, while the men review church policy. Seriously though, I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. I'm interested to know how the Inquisition feels about the other Factions in Nightbane.

Puroresu

I love the Ancient Conspiracies! This is really cool stuff! I can't wait to read about the Freemasons!

Sorry to hear about your love affair with Palladium turning sour.

By the way, your Shadows of the South netbook is awesome!

Puroresu

YES! YES! A thousand times! YES! Please bring back the Robotech RPG! I would also LOVE to see a Macross Plus sourcebook!

Puroresu

Nightlands: Las Vegas would be awesome! I would love to see what Las Vegas would look like on Nightlands: Earth and in the Nightlands itself.

Puroresu

I love the Japanese superteam! Great concept! I like Kurai and Koushi. I remember The People's Heroes, Red Star, The Rocket Reds, Stalnoivolk, etc. from DC Comics. Another great example was The Global Guardians featured in Justice League International. I too like the old Champions books versus the n...
