It's a little late to use "PB is a small company with not as much resources"... I think my point about PB's size was missed. Several folks have advocated hiring project managers, or a cabal of consultants, which simply isn't within PB's financial reach. Is PB's track record of book releas...

Sourcebook 1's Archie story is great, but it really gets good in Sourcebook 2: The Mechanoids. Archie is a great villain, but an even better anti-hero. The only stand-alone "module" I'm aware of (not in another book or an HLS) is the one that came out with the Rifts Gamescreen. It was bas...

Nice work on the Raksaha, by the way.

I am currently looking for an image or images of some Ramen, not the soup kind, for a game my group will be playing soon. Searching the internet produces a failed result as the only image I can find shows the one from the Dragons and Gods book. Any idea where I can find some fan images perhaps? Hel...

They're alien bug men. You can't say how they'll react.... because, they're alien bug men. This is 100% completely wrong. We know exactly how they would react as its wrote how they would react in the Xitixic world book. Your clearly reaching with this here. Its very clear you toss out canon to suit...

And to be fair, Gen Holmes did lose 25% of his force. Should've lost them all, IMO. I've been part of a convoy in hostile territory before (a few times, actually), and to think that the Xiticix (as described in WB23) wouldn't have wiped them out is, IMO, just the author trying to FORCE a surprise t...

Rifts: Central America - Lycan tribes at war with the Vampire Kingdoms.

Lord Dunscon is powered up and allowed to lead a demonic attack on Chi-Town that results in him standing atop the blasted and savaged arcology, surveying the massive firefights taking place in the 'burbs below. However, just he thinks he's about to crush the Coalition and slaughter everybody in the...

All Rifts books (including Manhunters) except Lemuria and Black Market. All Chaos Earth. All PFRPG except LOD3 (wait, noone has that, nor is anyone getting it.) All HU2. All Nightbane. All N&SS, Mystic China, and ATB. Rifters 01 through 50 and a couple after 50. Twenty years in the making...

The group of heroes in my campaign are facing Xy, the Old One ( summoned by ritual ). One player of the group, a Mind Mage, used Super Psionic Ability; Catatonic Strike. He was able to pass the AR, and the save on behalf of Xy was unsuccessful vs Psionics. Does a Catatonic Strike work on an Old One...

Did you fill mass graves with the locals immediately afterwards? Because if not, then no, it's not a matter of perspective. There is a difference between a nation which actively pursues genocide and one which doesn't. And you can't make agents for a genocidal regime the heroes in any way, shape, or...

If 3 out of 4 business are run by the black market, then why does the Find Contraband skill have such a low base percentage? Nice catch! LOL. I don't think finding contraband is used in a store to go 'OH THOSE SHELVES OVER THERE" is it? But given how common it is (75%!), do you think 26% +4%/l...

I don't see why it couldn't work as a film. All it needs is a brief 5-to-10 minute intro explaining the state of the world, like the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring, and that's it. There's no way it can work as a tv show, though. It'd be way too expensive. As for the CS being the good guys, sur...

I also want the acting and script to be the main thing not so much the action. Spoken like a Storytella! And ditto.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it traditional to have some good guys in a movie? Every soldier in the CS ISN'T evil. I'm sure the CS could be portrayed as... "conficted" and "well-intentioned" for the movie. I do not recall ever saying that all CS soldiers are evil but as na...

if someone was to put RIFTS to film it would have to be one of those HBO high end miniseries that are at least 10 hours long. it would take that much time just to get people to understand the backgrounds and what is going on. This is also my opinion. Maybe they should contact Starz as well, I think...

Voted Mercenaries. I think out of the choices given, Mercs would be able to give a better, unbiased view of the other choices. It could be written in a way that allows the viewers to form their own opinions on the other major players of Rifts Earth.

1.) Hardware Unlimited.

2.) Magic Unlimited.

3.) Factions Unlimited.

What are all of the MOST COMMON books you use for your Heroes Unlimited games? This includes other game line books, other company game lines, Rifters, or even non gaming related books. I am just curious what all the tools are you use (bookwise) for your games even if it's just for inspiration. Pers...

I don't really create low level adventures; I help the players make their characters and then build a game around them. When it's time for an encounter I wing it on the spot, or have a general note written down with "attacked by orcs" and have the basic stats noted for one, then use it fo...

It doesn't really matter. There's nothing to stop the Robotech universe from existing.

What if the Prometheans decided that the only thing better than controlling a major interdimensional trade hub would be to control TWO trade hubs, and arrive with the numbers and gear to seize control and bind Earth's Rifts, turning Rifts Earth into a super-Center?

In TMNT YES you can go back in time and kill your grandfather without it eliminating yourself, that's not my game that's the actual canon rules which you apparently can't comprehend for some reason.

It's REALLY ridiculous to insist on 'real world physics' when it comes to something like time travel when said physics can't say anything definitive on alternate universes, divergent/parallel timelines, or for sure whether or not Time Travel is even possible.

I've got something for that. Blew the dust off some of my projects and I came across the Divinity article just yesterday.
