One option is to use the Job's and Salaries found on pages 47 and 48 in the Heroes Unlimited Guide as, well, a guide. Are they just selling individual copy rights? Then take a look at the freelance artist and freelance writer as a start, but I would suggest including the multipliers for sure. And th...

Here I thought it was that time of year again but it turns out to be just a case of good old fashioned thread necromancy.

Personally I think those would all be good fits, though I haven't gone to check on their mechanical aspects. They do add some variety though.

Your "go public" option sounds a lot more like passing the hat around and doing a charity mooch off the fans rather than an investment opportunity. It wouldn't be because share holders, even non-controlling ones, have legal rights that can be pursued in court and are given certain guarant...

You know, if you used the rules for creating familiars from "Through the Glass Darkly", you could actually make a playable character. You wouldn't even need a mage, just have it be a familiar that survived their master's death. Maybe give them 30-50 PPE to spend on abilities.

Kevin is actually working on a new PF book right now (acording to the mummers), so I' give it a good chance of a BTS2 source book coming out this year.....call it 48% one will come out. I HOPE you're right, but I admit I'm not very positive that you are. Best way to make it come out would be for me...

Beyond the Supernatural™ – Tomes Grotesque™ Volume One Beyond the Supernatural™ – Beyond Arcanum™ They have to actually publish some material for BtS before I'd believe that they have enough material to make up volumes .

Osiris always starts out dead in my games and while I hesitate to make any definite declarations, Satan hasn't been seen since second edition came out. Kidding aside, I've never seen a real god get killed in any game. I think the closest that it came to was one I was a player in. We managed to kill ...

Waiting indefinitely for two books about monsters is about the same as waiting indefinitely for one book about monsters.

I've never played a dog but I have used them as both player and GM in BtS. Usually because of their sensative nature to the supernatural. I even created one dog that was bred for its resistance to the supernatural. I also give player owned dogs saving throws against spell and abilities that would ot...

I would look at similar constructs in the Roman Empire or even Roman Republic. The Wolfen Empire has many of the same trappings of both. Depending on what you want exactly the character could be similar to the Praetorian Guard or they could simply be a Centurion career soldier. Rome did have Equestr...

Thanks Gilstam. So now I have my books, I'll carry on where I left off. Barter: Very useful for trading for items and getting a better price or deal. Electricity Generation: Handy for finding ways to recharge those batteries. Detect Ambush: A must for traveling through hostile wilderness. Pick Locks...

Here's some class and occupation combinations I think would be a good idea. Houndmaster from Dead Reign (not Nightbane/Spawn-critical difference there): They're good with dogs and come with a few. Those dogs are good force multipliers on serveral levels. They're also good with animals in general. Be...

A site called Unexplained Mysteries is a website that's about as close to being a site like the Lazlo Society as portrayed in BtS2 as I think I've ever found on the internet. Just with much less active hunts, monsters and violence. After a discussion with a friend I thought I'd bring it to the forum...

For most things, probably. If given a choice between late or never for my death, I would take never.

Someone's been busy reading old threads.

Anyway, I'm definitely in the camp of wanting both fleshed out adventures and story ideas but if I had to choose, I'd take the 101 story ideas.

Lokum is also the Turkish word for Turkish delight. Probably a coincidence but you might be able to do something with it.

So the passage he claims doesn't exist , does not in fact exist . True, Erin Tarn was never rescued by an airstrike from the NGR. The one you're referring to is a whole different passage describing something else entirely. This, however, is not true. Although Erin Tarn was not a part of this story,...

I'll have to take a look through my Africa and Triax books as I don't recall any scenes like that. because they didn't happen in the books In fact it did, as mentioned already it was actually in Juicer Uprising and did not involve Erin Tarn by t a mage. There are more references in Triax, as well a...

Rifts aircraft are too durable. Reduce their MDC to something vulnerable to passing small arms fire (or Call Lightning, in the case of air elementals), and suddenly air travel is dangerous even if the aircraft can outrun elementals. --flatline I reject both the assumption that air travel needs to b...

Not sure where the idea that air travel in Rifts was dangerous originated but I don't buy the elementals thing at all. Or that any supernatural creature that flies poses a credible threat to air travel. Let's take a major air elemental with a MAXIMUM Spd of 300 which is approximately 200mph. Now com...

I'm looking forward to this book. Most of the Minion Wars books have been good so far. The only one I was "meh" about was the Phaseworld one. Carl Gleba's work otherwise has been quite good.

A good solid choice. Should allow you to survive long enough to figure things out.

I've got two games I'm running at the moment. One is a Heroes Unlimited game that is run sporadically on weekends. It s pretty much combat with brief interludes of rushing to the next combat. I am thinking of switching that group to D&D 3.5. The other group is online and run most Monday evenings...

If it fits the theme of BtS there probably won't be much of an issue. Superman wouldn't work for instance. I don't know, maybe you could have an alien hero who's existence is kept secret by the Men in Black and pursued by rag reporters. I'm not recommending it due to power issues but some pretty ou...

In short, they didn't handle it well the first time; so they have avoided it all together to keep from screwing it up again. I think that, while not the most inclusive move, may have been the safest/smartest one business-wise. And when you get down to it PB is a business and all that matters is the...

An example of including a gay character without romance as anything other than a brief mention. Heroes Unlimited Vigilante Origin Story Vincent Warner is invincible...at least physically.

It is worth noting that Palladium has addressed GBLT issues in the distant past though they didn't do a good job of it. It was addressed in the sexual deviation tables of the original Palladium Fantasy RPG. Later printings of the book got rid of the table and Palladium has publicly acknowledged it w...

How does a clever GM use hope in a Beyond the Supernatural game?

Clearly Palladium is trying to teach us how to properly build the mood and atmosphere for this game.

The smaller modules seem to be doing okay for Dead Reign. No reason to think it wouldn't work for other books. Used to work for TMNT as well.

I would love to see small books published more frequently. They could do adventure books or small scale setting books. They could even do small 'teasers' on other world settings. Keep them to the bare minimum and reference existing books for things like rules, OCC's and equipment as required. Pallad...

I agree that some of the prices in NG1 tend to be overly inflated but the tech level is just about right. The bots are far from death traps and should be less capable than those of the CS or Triax. The OCC's are meh but that's nothing new for Palladium products I'm afraid. I could have lived without...

Quick question.

Am I the only who's ever had a character purchase a Chipwell Assault Suit only to strip it down and sell most of it off for scrap, keeping only the 5 year nuclear power supply as a cheap dedicated e-clip recharger? 250,000cr for a nuclear power source is a steal.

Cybermancer

An operator with an e-clip recharger and enough down time can pretty much bankroll an adventuring group.

Cybermancer

Yeah, the resemblances have been noticed before. Also, I have this anime on VHS tape. It's not a bad show, for the time.

I've always stacked A.R. bonuses. Usually because strike rolls can get so high that A.R. can become irrelevant.

I do have to say that I think a lot of them are under rated. Ophids Grasslands and Baalgor Wastelands for two. Mystic Russia and even Rifts: England (I always liked it despite its faults) for another two. I don't think BtS1 is so much underrated as out of print. If they would have heard of anything,...
