Considering the risen sea-levels world-wide, I'd assume most of the Pacific islands are either gone or very much smaller than they were. That said, I'd rather they weren't high-tech paradises. While rising sea levels would mess things up, increased volcanic activity might stay ahead of said levels ...

Seneca

I more or less do away with the Millenium Druid and simply use the Psi-druid O.C.C.'s powers with the magic items from the class in Rifts England more or less as flavor. As neither class is presented as a combat oriented class, both are "peaceful-peace loving," I feel they fulfill the same...

Seneca

I just bought the new Vampire source book and was pleasantly surprised to see mention of the Sons of Quetzalcoatl from the old Pantheons Conversion Book 2. Kudos to the author who remembered the group and thought to include them. I was abit disappointed that there was no mention of the Aztec gods fr...

Seneca

The England book is fertile ground for a rewrite now that Europe has been fleshed out abit in the past two decades since its release.

Seneca

Same here, Rifts: Japan. Just wish we got that second book......

Seneca

Source Book 1 Revised has this new CS policy. It is under the Wilk's equipment section pg 67

Seneca

Triax 2 basically says Zerostein has held on to a core of his empire. Do either of you have that effect things?

Does anyone use other races as clients or auxilieries in your Gargoyle Empires? Or is it strictly the Gargoyles alone?

Seneca

When I first read Triax and the NGR I saw the Gargoyles trying to be a true NGR rival. Emperor Zerostein bringing other D-bees under their banner to crush the humans and other goodie-two-shoes forces. Simvan, orcs, giants, and other monsterous D-bees brought into their society to show the "Powe...

Seneca

I really do not know anyone who loved England or Africa. Both have their useful parts, but both books seem disjointed from the rest of Rifts. Africa was a horrid World Book. Other than the Phoenix Empire, I tossed out most of it. I did the same with the New Camalot/New Avalon nonsense. 1) Coalition ...

Seneca

But of all the sections in the book, my favorite are the first few sections on the background of events since 104PA, the sacking of Wroclaw, the split in Gargoyle/Brodkil relations, the assassination of the president, the alliance with the New Navy, the Coalition sending 30,000 troops, Operation Se...

Seneca

Mercenaries under Robot Control. The jotun in power armor is from Europe.

Seneca

Well just be aware it's a SMALL book. It's not like the 160+ page merc books. That being said, it's packed with good stuff and I recommend it. Well then, it should be cheaper than a larger book and make it easier for me to afford. Of course, seeing how you recommend it just makes it more likely tha...

Seneca

Rifter 33: D-Bees of the Eastern Wilds was the article.

Seneca

I think what you want is in a Rifter. One of the alternate races from the deep south article that Josh wrote that did not make it into the D-bees of North America book like the rest. The article had the catfish fishermen, the barbarian d-bees, and the sick nomads in it too. I think it was somewhere ...

Seneca

After reading my handout on Tritonia one of my players asked, "so it is a floating Merc-town?"

My initial response was no, but the more I think on it the more I can see that it could be. Anyone else?

Seneca

My current HU campaign has a Mortificant from Rifter #50 and his cult as the major villian. My heroes have tried and failed to stop him from gathering magical artifacts from different areas for reasons they have yet to figure out.

He is planning to cast the Zombie Apocalypse ritual.

Seneca

From looking at Free Quebec I always got the impression that the nuclear power supply not the chrome armor was the most difficult investment. They had thousands of stockpiled units that they promptly put online as soon as they outsourced the power supplies to Triax. Maybe but Free Quebec is the onl...

Seneca

Chaos Earth shows what the NEMA had available, not the US Military. There is a difference. The NEMA was to defend North America and employed citizens from three countries. Each country still had its individual military as well (Rifts Canada stated Canada never made their own MD weapons, so I suspec...

Seneca

Here is another question. How does the New Navy treat mages/psionics? It says in WB:32 that they are friendly with Lemurians, does that open the ranks of the navy to magic users then? Also after looking over the notes on the Ticonderoga I noticed that it is stated out to be 2000 feet long.... That m...

Seneca

So what are the unanswered questions from Rifts: South America ? Sorry WB:7. I'd say they do have the ability to produce SAMAS-style power armors...a combined air/sea unit makes perfect sense for Marines, and the New Navy would be in trouble if they didn't have the means to replace their losses. Si...

Seneca

Now that Lemuria has fleshed out some of the Underseas of Rifts, some of the questions left from WB:7 should be answered. Not to mention that Chaos Earth (and 16 years) has shown some of what the U.S. military could have had available. Where are the two New Navy cities/bases? My vote would be underg...

Seneca

This is a great idea. I'm going to have to incorporate this into my CE game. Conflict between NEMA and the contemporary of Blackwater should be fun. Don't forget about the Palladium cannon corporations. Cyberrworks, KLS, & Triax. They no doubt have their own security. Cyberworks: Heavy on parti...

Seneca

Favourite fact from old Rifts Japan. I am assuming this was one of Kevins less stellar days when he came up with the statistics for augmentation within society. Apparently 7% of the population are Juicers even though this process is illegal. Ah but they are a pre-rifts civilization which means this...

Seneca

I'm not understanding why you think that the O.C.C needs computer operation just because there is a computer on board that coordinates the sensors, targeting computer and weaponry, power core, life support and everything else on board. Its like giving everyone computer operation just because they h...

Seneca

Just use the same stats as the juicer chainsaw from Juicer Uprising.

Seneca

All in all an excellent World Book, well written, with many sound concepts and a fresh look and update to material that is admittedly almost 15 years old. Triax 2 is a welcome addition to my Palladium collection, one that I had looked forward to. However, after reading my copy I began to compare the...

Seneca

I got my copy of Triax 2 and love the book. It is now one of my favorites up their with WB:10 and WB:1. I am actually considering running a Europian adventure for my group now, something i would not have done before due to lack of information on the NGR's society. But I noticed that Triax's involvme...

Seneca

The CCW symbol (or just the CAF's) is on their ships in the phase world source book pg. 92 and Phaseworld on the uniforms of the CAF troopers pg. 57 & 58.

Seneca

Well there is Briscoe America a small town in CS claimed Lonestar...

Seneca

The Gargoyle Empire has had it too good for too long. Triax 2 just swings it back in the favor of the NGR. There is still plenty of room for things to swing back to the Gargoyles or to the Brodkil. The Brodkil and Mindwerks are bigger threats than anyone seems to realize. If anyone is going to perm...

Seneca

In Aftermath the gargoyles got the raw end of the deal with their war front against the NGR stalling, long time partners the Brodkil slapping them in the face, and Pharoh Rama Set plotting to double cross the Emperor if they defeat the NGR. So far from what I have heard here on the forums in Triax 2...

Seneca

I fail to see what the average CS grunt's prejudice against D-bees and mutants has a bearing on an international diplomatic alliance. Nowhere is it written or implied that Karl and son are rabid human supremisists, or stupid, and the value of a North Atlantic alliance would not be thrown away becaus...

Seneca

My current game based in the hermit kingdom of Korea has three major bad guys. Two open and one hidden. My ad-hoc group of Japanese and Chinese PC's have wandered into a small town that caters to pirates and bandits including the Horune. While in town they have been approached separately by various ...

Seneca

Kevin meant for the original headhunter class to be all partial borg's, that is why he added the merc fighter in RUE.

Seneca

Are you talking about the noiseless, weightless, glow on command armor ala Palladium Fantasy or TW stuff? Your run of the mill wizard's armor is simply a combination of mega damage leather and a few bits of ceramic (vambraces, collar, strategic plating). Basically anything that is naturally mega-dam...

Seneca

Yes but YOUR topic is "Ways to make Rifts China viable without China 3?" suggesting it is not viable, it cannot work, with out China 3 but it is viable it can work. It may not be as enjoyable with out more clear cut information on what these NPC classes talked about in China 1 are but the...

Seneca

A silver plated vibro-knife and a NGR borg rail gun used as a rifle with wooden ammo is the easiest conversion.

Or you could mount a super soaker to a large water tank on the back.

Seneca

1) As per N&SS, when you have 2 HtH styles, at the beginning of the melee round, you choose one. You have those ApM and bonuses. You have to keep both bonuses separate. Don't combine So, say one gives you 2 apm and +3 strike, and the other gives you +3 ApM and +4 dodge, you get either, as chose...

Seneca

More like a top of the line gat and pimped out ride....

Seneca

I think this veered(sp) way of topic but Rifts china is more then viable without China 3 if you can't figure a way to run a china campaign without it I'm sorry to say but in my opinion you lack the necessary skills to be a good GM and based on your groups and your own age range that may or may not ...

Seneca

Seneca, if you know Missouri pretty well, have you given thought to writing it up for the Rifter? Hmmm.... That is a thought... By the way with the Coalition's control of the Mississippi, acquisition of Arkansas/El Dorado, and Whykin's anti-DBee/magic policies, the CS effectively cuts N. America in...

Seneca

buy mystic china and do some easy conversions NSS main book is probably a good idea as well While this is true to an extent, it appears that the Mystic Martial artist for instance is a strange combination of the mystic OCC with the ability to take multiple martial arts style powers. See Xian Ya on ...

Seneca

Being from Missouri the lack of information on my home state in Rifts has always been a sore spot for me. In RMB we are given abit about CS lovin' Whykin (near Poplar Bluff) and Kingsdale (smack in the middle of Ozark territory). The name of the major CS fortress city in Missouri, New Chillicothe, a...

Seneca

Has anyone attempted to break down the NPC's from the China 1 so that you could make a viable OCC out of the class of Chi Mage, Taoist Immortal, or Mystic Martial Artist?

Seneca

Mainly because they quickly saw the writing on the wall after Joesph Prosek I came to power after the Campaign of Blood. They were uncomfortable with one man holding so much power. In effect the FQ government liked having their own ace in the hole just in case. When Karl announced himself Emperor; t...

Seneca

Baron's post about Yomi got me thinking on the gods of Japan that we were promised way back when Japan first came out. So I decided to put some thought into how the Ama-Tsu-Kami or heavenly spirits could be converted to Rifts. Starting with the biggest trouble maker. Amatsu-Mikaboshi: Amatsu-Mikabos...

Source Book 4 the CSN pg 88. Wow I never made that connection myself!

It is implied that they reverse engineered it from an "alien" combat vessel....

Seneca

The body fixer and cyber-doc are often under used IMHO, especially with some of the cooler gadgets in Merc Ops, the Bionics source book or Atlantian microbes. Nothing better than playing the hero combat medic running in under fire to help your friends. Or you can make a Dr. House clone expert. Altho...

Seneca

My question is who is picking Source Book 2 The Mechanoids? Other than a one shot adventure, yes of fairly epic scale like Africa, it is extremely limited. In the cannon it states that the Mechnoids were defeated and Archie stole their tech. So why do you feel this book is "underrated"? I'...
