I am done with this game. I put several more hours into it tonight and glued 10 pieces together after combing the pieces over and over again until my eyes started bugging out - not even enough for a complete mech. Not even sure I am gluing the correct pieces together, so I might end up 20 hours down...

Arrived today... I sat down and pulled out the model trees and decided to try and put together a few models tonight. An hour later I have 2 pieces glued together and am at a total standstill. Really, this is freaking totally impossible. Is each model even a single tree, or does a single model have p...

I ran a Palladium Fantasy game on VIP night this year - I am already starting to think about ideas for next year and hope to have 2 or 3 different adventures ready to go by then. And yes, having more games overall so we could have less people per game would be great, as I do feel the players will ge...

I am the owner of the awesome piece you two drew of my Dead Reign character. If you would like me to scan a copy for you - just let me know, I would be more than happy to email it your way.

Your concerns were brought to Kevin's attention. Saturday morning he made a public announcement and asked the game masters to allow a few extra people at their table if at all possible, and if you still felt like there wasn't any room for you anywhere to mention it to one of the staff and they would...

as one of the GM's - I am eager to find out what time my game is!

I was done weeks ago - I did not want this hanging over my head as the open house drew near. Wednesday evening I am going to go over everything again just to get it all fresh in my head for the game.

Most zombies don't bother to dodge or parry. That takes intelligence and they are mindless.

I don't have the book in front of me right now, but I think only the Thinker and perhaps the Flesh Eater contain enough intelligence to attempt a dodge or parry.

in 2nd ed you are supposed to be -10 to parry arrows, and unable to parry magical projectiles unless you have a shield, in which case you should actually have a bonus to do so. also, you you take dual wield:shield+sword you can do some pretty fun things in combat Thanks, I did not see that anywhere...

1: Parrying with Shields...are shields worthless in PFRPG? Why parry with a shield when I can parry with my weapon and the weapon will not lose SDC? Also, depending on my Weapon Proficiencies, I might have a higher chance to parry with a weapon than a shield. BTB, shields aren't that great. I allow...

I have been playing Rifts forever, and now that I am looking at Palladium Fantasy a bit more closely, I am looking to have a couple things clarified... 1: Parrying with Shields...are shields worthless in PFRPG?

Hey all! It's good to be back on the boards, it's been a long time since I haunted these hallowed boards.

How did Z Day Happen, is it a Biological weapon gone afoul? Or something more dastardly... Kevin decided nobody needed an answer to that. He decided nobody needed to know WHY it all happened ?

I really enjoyed the review. It did nail down what makes the game so great.

Our gaming group is having a blast with the game. We just finished our first 2 session story arc. We survived the zombies, but we are not stuck on a yacht in the Caribbean. Time to find someplace safe to land

Eric

erc1971

I am coming.

Eric

Our changes were really minor.

Zombie AR: 0

We use the rules straight from RUE and we use the Compendium of Contemporary Weapons.

That is it.

I wish I could post my game, but alas I am forbidden. Yeah, it would be awesome to see your original manuscript. The man, unfortunately, has you bent over a barrel though. I'm new to the boards, but I've been playing and running Palladium games for over ten years. I'd love to send in submissions fo...

DRRPG for me. It is a pure, 100% zombie game. No magic, no psionics, etc, etc. Just what I want out of the genre.

Our group played Dead Reign for the first time last night. We all loved the game, but none of liked the difficulty in hurting zombies. After going through clips and clips of ammo just to take down a few zombies, the game resolved into the silliness of us running up into melee and placing the barrel ...

Who do you think would be the most scary person zombified? How about the most dangerous person zombified? I think for maximum effect these would need to be special zombies like runners or thinkers. It think Christopher Walken would be terrifying as a zombie as a thinker. And of course Chuck Noris w...

I ordered mine Sunday, and received it today. I gave it a quick glance and I have to give it 2 thumbs up. I really liked the tweaks on zombies (like how they all woke up at the same time, bite's don't automatically turn you) and loved the very well fleshed out equipment section. Looking forward to g...

There are military bases on the interior of Alaska. That area does have quite a bit of potential for development. And those military bases are 100% reliant on outside sources for food. The soldiers don't hunt and kill polar bears up there, or farm. So getting suddenly cut off, depending on how remo...

Rifts is rule light? I'm missing something. I'm not trying to be rude, or dense, but I'm missing something here. Compared to N&SS it is, lol Seriously, I find Rifts very easy to work with, same with Heroes Unlimited and PFRPG. The N&SS book just seems to add several layers of complexity to ...

Then, I got the martial arts and rules sections. Dropping the mystical Chi powers would be a given for my style of campaign, and would be easy enough to do. But then I see that some characters would have multiple martial arts styles and would have to swap back and forth between them for varying bon...

Hello everyone, I was looking around for a game that might play a little faster and easier than Cyberpunk 2020 (I love the game, but with my current group it is really bogging things down ). I thought to myself "Hey, the palladium system has guns, cybernetics, and the other trimmings to make a ...

I was wondering what book contains what you guys think is the best overall version of a Rifts character sheet?

I am looking for a generic character sheet (i.e. not one for warriors, one for casters, etc, etc) for a personal project I am going to be working on.

Thanks,
Eric

The 2nd printing of RUE has errata - they can now take Radio: Basic, Language, and Literacy only.

My answer to the OP would be "Cause it's freaking cool!".

I am not a weapons expert or a physicist, but a 10' tall robot shooting a big freaking gun that causes glass to shatter for a 300' radius is awesome, and therefore good enough for me.

Nuslyn - you are correct, the event was better than last year - and considering last year was the best convention I have ever been to in my life, that was quite a feat.

Does the Palladium Fantasy RPG have a true Swashbuckling type OCC in any of the books?

I know the Sailor, Pirate and Mariner are in the game, but I am looking for the 2 rapier wielding character who swings from chandeliers and such.
