I was trying to save it (along with everything else) for my sourcebook, but I've pretty much decided to just post everything as I write it anyway. I'm just going to finish off a few O.C.C.'s right now that I'm the most interested in, then I'm going to start from the beginning of the book. So it'll l...

I'm actually semi-offended you think I have such a dreary outlook and vision. On the subject of food, the book says the fungus and plant trees were genetically engineered to produce all manner of foods, from meat, to vegetables, to fruit. It says it is "like" fungus because of the fact it ...

slappy

Demos is referring to page 67 of the main book. It says that the Librarians created bio-tech plants and fungus that feed the entire population. They can taste like anything from fruit to meat. This allows them to grow enough food underground.

Edited and updated the Siren description in order to fill in some holes. I like how the Host Armor highjacking power kind of distinguishes it from the Pseudojacker. Before the Pseudojacker was just a Siren with more features, now they are more differentiated. Thank you too everyone for helping polis...

Sounds good to me. I've lost the link to your site (computer change), and I didn't see it in your profile. Can you send it to me please?

24 Carat Splicer gold Slappy, one again Have you got any more Rifter submissions prepared? Actually I've pretty much given up on that. I really enjoyed being published, but few Rifter readers seemed to enjoy Splicers so there isn't much demand for my material. I just prefer to write for people who ...

slappy

That is an awesome idea. I forgot about Squealers to be honest. I'm not sure if I should make special modifications to cannons on Fire Teams or make it common to all Mantis Cannons in general.

slappy

I think the Behemoth is somewhat limited. It can ONLY strike targets 11,000 feet away. No closer, no farther. This was originally posted under "Post your War Mounts." I would recommend checking out that post. There are a dozen new War Mount designs in that post alone. I built a fast attack...

slappy

I also forgot to mention that Fire Team Leaders (now leaning towards Bombadiers) also start with 2 heavy handlheld weapons and a lot of enhancement points, so they personally can fulfill the role of heavy gunner.

slappy

The Ultra upgrade is free. I was debating on the Bio-E cost. I didn't want to make them overpowered (since that's already borderline true), and I figured that the Packmaster is dividing more Bio-E (as he gains levels) between more Gorehounds. Not to mention, the Gorehounds don't start off with a gia...

Bombardier O.C.C. The Mantis Support Cannons were first created to guard the entrance ways to the Underground Havens, but many Warlords quickly realized that these massive walking guns could also be utilized as mobile artillery pieces in the field. The problem was that these simple minded creatures...

Bug Bombs The success of the Swarm Lord program has inspired many Librarians to further experiment with these powerful Bio-Tech insects. One Librarian from House Artemis took some of the most voracious bugs known as Locusts and created powerful new anti-personal grenades he called Bug Bombs. They c...

slappy

You misunderstand, I never said they could tap Bio-Comms. I specifically said they cannot even use them. What I was asking was should I get rid of their ability to high jack Host Armor since their being unable to use Bio-Comms would be a dead giveaway that they aren't human.

slappy

That's another interesting point. I didn't think of them as being able to use bio-comms. Basically how I thought of it is they learned how to force it to work, they can't actually operate it as normal. In other words, they can fire an electric impulse to get a muscle to contract, but it con't bond w...

That is kind of how I pictured it, but with a much smaller turtle shell. You're just asking to get shot walking aorund with that thing.

Well, since this is already a custom armour, you could rule that the Librarians who designed it made it more like an exoskeleton than a power armour, much like how Triax's T-11 Enhanced Body Armour gived a strength bonus while the T-10 doesn't. I considered that as well. In fact, I think it would h...

Hey Slappy, rebuild it as a Scarecrow armor design and it need not be Host Armor. Barren Marsh has what, 1200 scarecrows per Librarian? There's got to be some reason to have that many, why not put them to work as EoD. I don't think they would have the patience for demolitions disposal. Although I'm...

slappy

That was what I originally started with. That's why it's called Shellback Armor, because at first I wanted it to be the heaviest category of Living Armor, but as I continued to flesh out the O.C.C., it became apparent that the armor would be so heavy and bulky that without additional strength from H...

slappy

Looks cool. I might cut the Bio-E a bit given the impressive powers of the default armour. A couple of quibbles. I'd find an OCC bonus to roll with punch/fall/boomy noise more appropriate than a strike/parry/dodge bonus. Also you have two fixed skill in Electives. I'd move those up to OCC skills, Y...

I may rebalance the Bio-E costs a bit. Feedback on the subject would be appreciated. Sweeper O.C.C. Sweepers are the demolitions experts of the Resistance. Their main responsibility is to disarm bombs and land mines planted by the Machine and rival Great Houses, but their training also makes them ex...

No need to be sorry. It made me think of something that will make it even cooler (in my opinion at least).

You keep bringing up too many good points. I'm going back to the drawing board on this one. I want to maek some minor changes and then I'll repost it. Until then, here are the new attributes at least: Attributes of Note: I.Q.: 20+1D6, M.E.: 12+1D4, M.A.: 20+1D6, Robotic P.S. of 35, P.P.: 16+1D4, P.E...

Rifter 32 contained my article on a new Splicer type called Deliverymen and the Waste Crawlers (as I call them).

Precious metals are immune to the nanoplague.

slappy

That's a good idea. I never thought of it since I saw the Sirens as long term operatives that were expensive and time consuming to manufacture.

It would be a good idea for a separate type of infiltrator however.

slappy

I actually thought of doing a Packmaster version with giant cats also, but they seemed like they would be less versital than normal Gorehounds. Really all they can do is kill. They wouldn't be the loyal watchdog/trackers/scouts. But since huge predatory cats did sound like a cool idea, I made a War ...

slappy

I think it's a good solution. Maybe instead of a pouch, you could make them nutrient holsters built right into the armor. Have different Bio-E costs for melee weapon, pistol, and rifle sizes. I've also created a few Bio-Tech items and handheld weapon enhancements to take care of this issue as well, ...

slappy

I did see those pics. I don't know where Chuck Walton came from, but his work is some of the best I've seen in a long time.

As for the book, the title is House Artemis. I plan on really laying out what life in the Underground is like. It should be pretty cool.

I've been good. Busy, but good. I've been writing 20 hours a day for a start up company to get them up and running. Now that they've launched, things are a little more calm.

Actually, Mega-Horses don't get any enhancements.

Only on the most basic level. I think what really makes Splicers such a unique standout is the fact that it's not an emotionless killing machine like Skynet, but a real character in and of itself. Obviously it is inspired by works like Terminator and Guyver, but Carmen has taken these elements and r...

slappy

I was thinking it may have been left out to make Scarecrows more terrifying. Sure, in Host Armor you're strong enough to punch a hole through steel, but you're still not strong enough to keep a Scarecrow from tearing your arms off. I would still give Host Armor the option though. Just make it pricy.

slappy

I think it's a worthwhile addition. I planned to add it to my sourcebook. I consider it an oversight that it's missing.

slappy

I use all of my robot designs in sort of a phased roll out approach. First, they are deployed alone or in pairs as lone Hunter/Killers in the field, then they are attached to larger forces, and finally they become a common guard at fixed installations and beachheads. Of course, feel free to use them...

slappy

Ain't no thing. They aren't really that similar. I just meant that the Inflictor itself is a creation of Kali's new weapons program. I was thinking of making it a handheld weapon as well but I like the idea of it being just to gigantic to carry.

slappy

The Inflictor is the upgrade. I thought of tacking on some poison gas sprayers, but then I just made a robot design that solely used the gas instead.

Don't mean to toot my own horn, but I would take the Kraken and modify it from there. Definitely get rid of the Spore Dischargers and Hydro-Cutters since water would freeze within seconds.

That's actually covered on page 13, Crossing Dimensions.
