May you enjoy this time off to put your feet up and recover fully Kevin. Hope that the next few weeks are filled with lots of rest and relaxation. You should give the Cinemax series Banshee a good binge watch sometimes, I really think it would give some fun ideas for modern settings like bts.

Released in January 2005 and in just over 2 months it will 10 years, not a single sourcebook. I love the setting, mechanics and the classes. Its such a shame that something so great couldn't get finished because of a greedy employee embezzling. Good news Palladium still in business a decade later an...

I'd let a Psi-Battalion trainee spend related skills 2 or 3 to buy a Mercenary MOS but limit to only one and let them pick the odd skill to complement the MOS. Psi-Ghost/Paratrooper I'd allow but cut all extra skills down to just 2 to start. Still be a killer character even with a 20 lbs weight limi...

Our group don't reroll 1's or 2's we just add 1 to it, and to keep the score around average 8-14 usually

Will the Official material be reprinted in a future Splicer source book? I lost a go part of my Rifter books between 17-47 so I'm never going to replace them so it would be nice to be able to get all upgrades & warmounts put in a real Splicer source book or 2 in the near future. are you not rep...

I've been mainly using sourcebook one to cover the missing tech on CE, yet it definitely needs more of its own sourcebooks. I was put off by how the magic sourcebook was so different and my past Rifts group didn't gel well. We started up a totally new CE campaign from scratch last winter. THE MISSIN...

I so loved the new tech in Triax 2, Northern Guns and the Black Market, the stuff in Merc ops is great for adventure groups just starting out with lower funds. After seeing the tech upgrades in NG I'd love them to do the same for Atlantis, Archie and of course it be nice to see the Coalition keep it...

Any combat class or any SDC character who going to be taking MD should just get Cyber Armor or power armor or robot vehicle. Cyber Armor has an AR 16, 50 mdc and 30, 000 credits. Unless your abilities of a mage or shapeshifter that would be hampered by it, otherwise you're really just a ladybug in a...

In the real world modern tanks & APCS have MDC armor you can you shoot them with thousands of low to medium caliber round to it only leaves a few dings & scratches. I'm sure as alloys advance lighter & more durable materials will advance like the BioSteel project. A high-strength based f...

Does anyone know which ones have Spicers info?

runebeo

nope shes has no magic ability so far, as I remember reading split occ rules would freeze her rcc abilities at current level

runebeo

Sounds good

runebeo

why was Darrian Ashoka cryo? Nighbanes can live for over thousands of years and build up even greater assets along the way. Stockpile Glitter boys & Archie tech.

runebeo

thanks grandmaster, I lent out some books and the bugger moved away, its hard to remember the Juicer sports skills & new west card skills since its been a decade since I used them lol

runebeo

Some good points but some people enjoy somewhat max out combat skills when facing say the CS, Vampires or Splugorth minions. Their not push over with CS killer vehicles, the 30 plus advantages Vampire have including invulnerability and mind control. If any GM see too many skills on a soldier type ch...

runebeo

Just read the Rifter 55 last night, and I'm in love with the updated NGR OCCs but the NGR Intelligence Division Agent is so great just cut from the same mold as the Paratrooper, gives you way more options. Hope this article & update gets put in a Triax or WB 5 update

runebeo

Where can I find a list of every skill in all Rifts Books?

runebeo

Has anyone used Neo-Humans children in Chaos Earth or Rifts? Has anyone found any legal loopholes for a power boost bio-wazardy & Achilles transformation? Another path to power is Heart of Darkness ritual and True Atlanteans mage or Nightbane Sorcerers can get huge spell knowledge & massive ...

pretty good I'll try it out, just missing Commando hth

1) Shifter with a Rakshasa demon minion, demon raven familiar (magic travel/magic) 2) Psi-Ghost backpack full of time bombs, tracer beacons and tw sniper rifle (scout & sabotage) 3) Paratrooper with CS Wind Jammer Skycycle (air support) 4) Lanotaur Hunter with Phantom Wolf (scout/magic) 5)Titan ...

In our group we have a npc Achilles Neo-Human child, but since she closer to a mutant animal we had her start off at 5 years old but had her look like she was 10. Now that she nearly 7 we now have her look 13 and have her at second level. I remembered someone said they played a Neo-Human child in Ch...

thank you Blastaar

Ironmage TW Glitter Boy can used by mages who can't pick power armor skill, so how do assign combat bonus without the skill? surely using it often got make you better at least at piloting it.

runebeo

Since even Rifts Conversion books never really covered well Wards & Magic Circle, it could be done in a new book and expanded greatly, since what if u never bought palladium Fantasy or don't have it anymore. I'd like more psionics, more magic tattoos and a Rune master OCC. I really love to see a...

runebeo

No bonus until level 2 or they become full adults at 600 then bam full upgrade to thousands of MDCS

runebeo

If you really want to speed up combat have a second GM the main Gm does the story part and the controls main enemies in grid combat and the second helps if the battle is too large, but mainly in-charge of playing character's minions, robots, npcs like squires, support troops, animals, riding beasts....

runebeo

make Rifts Tome Grotesque and make it part Beyond the Supernatural with crossover notes then we may be see it this decade.

runebeo

We played last night and the mask worked out well, the fine tuning still kept it powerful, the extra PPE, hour immunity and range limit made the player use it less often. It all came together as the Hunter being so honourable (Aberrant) usually decided to strip his enemies of their armor & weapo...

runebeo

We settled on this version and plan on trying in our campaign this weekend, I'm sure it will go over well now that less of our group will ever get caught in the radius as our game is mainly power armor based. Thanks for the help and if you ever want to kill off some characters send in a pack of Wind...

runebeo

What happens to those who can't hear the scream, even though they are within it's area? Could one use earplugs to avoid the effect entirely? Sure if its not clearly heard it has no effect, so I say being deaf or earplugs or inside sealed vehicle or power armor with a sound system should negate it. ...

runebeo

Wind Jammer has always been my favorite vehicle in the game for its look, damage and sonic speed. The Warbird is a real killer and I always thought thats what CS send after Glitter Boys, Dragons and Gods, just needs some NGR Depleted Uranium rounds too really say "Checkmate!"

runebeo

I agree, makes sense to me but the Windigo demon in Canada ability has no listed range but we were limiting to within a few blocks or a little more in a flat area

Heres the link to the roars the mask can produce some are so creepy

In our group one of our players is Lanotaur Hunter and he defeated an high elder with a 10th level TW mask Dragon Hunter Mask: Armor Bizarre: Grants the wearer a Horror Factor of 14 and 150 M.D.C. of tentacle armor. Anyone fighting this armor is -1 initiative and needs to roll vs Horror Factor at th...

Digger Rifle is an awesome Idea, yet some kind of dexterity saving throw is needed to dig out the round and perhaps the movement of the round & pain give the pilot motivation to exit the armor quickly. The SDC damage seems way to high as if a suit ever took 2-3 rounds none inside could survive, ...

Minion war....on Rifts Earth, no idea and I am not sure it is ever really established as having a start point.

Thank you very much

runebeo

I can't find the old Rifts Timeline link, its listed as forbidden when I search it on google. Anyone have an updated timeline with Tolkeen war, Free Quebec conflict and Minion war start dates?

runebeo

I think if the Skelbots took cover within maximum shot range of the GB and all used called shots on the Boomgun wouldn't take too many to disable the gun and using cover rules the GB not going to hit nearly as often. I know the bots have limited strategy but it sure would save the CS some money to g...

I did enjoy Phaseworld but Rifts is suppose to be a Dimension Nexus yet few dimensions are flushed out for us other than Phaseword, Hades, Deval Wormwood, Skraypers and all the other main lines. I like to see a something like a hitchhiker's guide the Megaverse (thats a law suit waiting to happen lol...

runebeo

have to look it up when i get home but i think so, plus minus the weight from the boomgun and say reduce speed to 300+ I'd say do that but put two samas engines on. Replace the boom gun with a Gattling railgun, only slightly less powerful so a single shot will only slow it down a little a short bur...

Australia had lots of nice stuff indeed and info on the lifestyle was great to add spice to other rift places. the technologist class was insanely good. Hope we get a Australia update at touch on the cancelled books material one day.

runebeo

I liked parts of Australia but I guessed flopped bad, so I can only see it being touched on in the Rifter.

runebeo

What books do still need to full flush out the world?

Lazlo, New Lazlo, another Africa or rewrite, Canada 2 maybe, Psyscape 2, Federation of magic 2, second D-Bee book with a global reach, a real Coalition cities book and Blackmarket 2 perhaps. Any other ideas?

runebeo

Wouldn't mind some more CS equipment. I'm still hope one day they'll break out all those Glitter Boys they confiscated over the last few decades, plus seized & salvaged during the Quebec War and slap a skull head on them with new chestplate, put it on the cover and I'll pre-order now

runebeo

At the moment no listed Rifts books listed in the coming soon part of the store, except for Chaos Earth NEMA Mission Book One & First Responders. Anyone know of any books in the works? I know the Minion War series took like 7 years to finish but now that its done is there any talk of a new major...

runebeo

Our group restarted with a Ngr City-technologist, a Paratrooper, a Mystic Knight and a Lanotaur Hunter we still use our last group's Carnival as a traveling town and 3 old characters show up as backup. Half of the old group died in the minions war. One character became our main Shifter Nemesis after...

have to look it up when i get home but i think so, plus minus the weight from the boomgun and say reduce speed to 300+

My idea of a better GB is drop the main boomgun and equip Super Samas jet boosters & its duel plasma cannon system to it. lastly add some Chaff-Flare Decoys from the Wild Weasel Samas

Any rule can be broken for god-like creatures if GM ok with it, in our game a decade ago an angel had magic tattoos and it was our gm who made her, saying the angel was in human form was close enough to human to receive them at the time. When the subject came up again over this the gm said just say ...
