Would Palladium ever publish a board game based on the Splicers RPG?

this is a good idea for Savage Rifts.

Emperor Prosek should be the star of the RIFTS movie.

I hope exotic new RIFTS books are in the pipeline.

I'd be 128 years old by then (if I don't die of old age or whatever), and likely still in Maryland in the Baltimore area.

An interesting scenario: what if anti-Prosek elements within the CS military asassinate Emperor Karl Prosek and his son and heir Joseph Prosek II and set up a new government? Almost instantly, pro-Prosek elements in the CS military rise up in open rebelion and the Coalition States (particularly the ...

. . .and the target with Structural Damage Capacity (S.D.C.) lacks Mega Damage Capacity (M.D.C.) armor. I know very well that in various RPGs published by Palladium Books that one M.D.C. point equals 100 S.D.C. points. It is often implied that a S.D.C. person with less than 100 combined S.D.C. point...

The Terror Bears were an obvious parody of the Care Bears. That's why I personally liked them.

Remember the Terror Bears from the old Teeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPG? They had a psionic power called "mind trap" which they used to force victims to relive bad memories or have nightmares. Pain Bear: had a picture of a human skull with a branch with thorns sticking out of it on his ch...

If you were an inhabitant of RIFTS North America and were forced to choose between becoming a Splurgoth slave, becoming a vampire or a source of blood/food for vampires, or being killed by Xiticix, what's is your choice? My answer: none of the above!!! My choice: I'd try and fight my way to a dimens...

Who will end up dominating North America on RIFTS Earth? I rule out the Coalition States since that nation was somewhat weakened by it's war with Tolkeen. The next big battle involving the Coalition States must be with the Federation of Magic, which will further weaken the CS and might soften up the...

I think of alignments like music theory... well developed guidelines that work in most cases.

RPG alignment systems like music theory? I like that analogy.

Palladium Books has seven alignments for it's roleplaying games: Principled (basically lawful good), Scrupulous (neutral good), Unprincipled (chaotic good), Anarchist (true neutral and chaotic neutral), Aberrent (lawful neutral and lawful evil), Miscreant (neutral evil), and Diabolic (chaotic evil)....

Assuming that Palladium World is a conventional, round planet that revolves around it's own sun like our Earth, that means the continent that is the center of affairs in the Palladium Fantasy RPG is actually only a relatively small portion of Palladium World. It's actually possible that Palladium Wo...

Here's something for a faction in the society of the planet Earth of After the Bomb: the Church of God for All Sentients, called the CGAS for short. A human named Zarek Zarkon had a vision of God who called upon him to promote tolerance for both humans and intelligent animals. Zarkon soon preached h...

I've very little real information on the planet Earth at the time of the first coming of the transdimensional Rifts. From what I've read, Chaos earth takes place in the last years of the 21st Century. I've also read about how the United States, Canada, and Mexico have united in the so-called Norther...

After Free Quebec seceded from the Coalition States, the Humanist Church there was divided between those that supported the Coalition Humanist sect and those who wanted ecclesiastical reunion with the orthodox Humanist Patriarch in the New German Republic. In fact, the divisions in the Free Quebec H...

The Coalition States version of the Humanist Church, though it retains the basic doctrines and practices of the New German Humanist faith, has in recent years added the doctrine that the Prosek family is ordained by God to govern, and that God blesses the Coalition States as the savior of American c...

sounds pretty cool for the RIFTS setting. Fitting with the view of the CS/NGR and others. Do you have any more written up for it? Any cool OCCs for it? I can just picture Full Conversion Borg Church High Inquisitors or something along those lines. again cool stuff I might use the Catholic Priest O....

I have a proposal for an organized religion for RIFTS Earth: the Humanist Church. It's doctrines: God ordained the human species (homo sapiens sapiens) to occupy the planet Earth, D-bees and dragons and demons and similar creatures are racially inferior, and magic is a sin against God. The Humanist ...

Moreover, the leaders of all three parties openly cheered the Coalition's war on the pro-magic city of Tolkeen and Humanity First and Coalition Citizens are just as likely as the Prosekistas to denounce the Rogue Scholar Erin Tain as a traitor to humanity. All three political parties also officially...

I assume that the Prosek regime DOES ALLOW some semblance of democratic elections in the Coalition States. For example, the CS as a whole might have an elected Federal Assembly, and each of the individual states-Chi-town, Iron Heart, Missouri, El Dorado, and Lone Star-has it's own elected State Asse...

How 'bout a Robotech/Mechanoids crossover roleplaying game? Especially an originally four-way war pitting the people of Earth and the Robotech Defense Force vs. the gigantic Zentranei and the Robotech Masters vs. the Invid vs. the Mechanoids for control of that great starship the SDF-1 and it's secr...

I have the Splicers RPG book, and I've noticed there are no O.C.C.s for ordinary humans who have not been modified by Biotechnology. I'd use the Vagabond, City Rat, and Wilderness Scout O.C.C.s from Rifts to provide RPG templetes for the majority of humans in the Splicers world, and use the Rogue Sc...

If I want O.C.C.s for the ordinary Joes and Janes in the Rifts RPG, I'd use the City Rat O.C.C. and Vagabond O.C.C. for generic city residents, and the Vagabond and Wilderness Scout O.C.C.s for generic rural dwellers. The Body Fixer O.C.C. templete could be used for any generic doctor or medical per...
