Mix between technology and magic either just in a philopsophical view (as in Babylon 5) or as Shadowrun or other games are quite common. As long as a game involving both the premise of wizardry/sorcery and high tech. I am fairly certain that this will occur. I used Tecno-wizardry in my own RPG that ...

Firstly, a disclaimer: This is not an attack on PB or its owner or employees. I have never believed that there was a big deal with J.B or whoever. I will not say that anyone has lied about this to the fans to sound more important or cool. I just believe that it was more of a wish than actual busines...

We have a system in my gaming group where the players pay for the GM's food if we do takeout, but the GM always makes a mudcake/brownies and offer insane ammounts of tea in return.

Just some things that makes me curious: Special Abilities: 1 - How did the author(s) think about gaining more BM special abilities. You can trade 2 O.C.C. Related skills for 1 Ability, but most of the professions only get 1 O.C.C Related skill at various levels above first, so can I "hoard"...

Hmm...

Saw it in a store, was not too impressed by the art or what it contained, though for those enjoying True Atlanteans and that stuff, maybe it is a good book. But not a book i would buy if I still played Rifts. maybe if I found a pdf somewhere in the future, but not worth any shelf spots.

Maybe it is time to do the Palladium way, and name this crisis so that we ca abbriavate it accordingly in all discussions as was made with the ToC or what it is called. Lets call this Deceit of the Millenium (DotM) or Years of Lies (YOL), just to be as hyping as with the Time of Crisis. :) Enough ki...

Have they repaid their backers for not being able to create the product that was prepaiid for? I just want to know, because i am considering prepayig for some products for a friend who still loves PBs rpgs, but all this has made me doubt that PB will be able to deliver and if they do not that I will...

I got a book from a friend that she bought directly from Palladium Games. The packing was not better than that you get from Amazon or other shops. So I decided to never try this with other books. It just felt like a scam or ripoff as other RPG companies i bought books from never charged more than $2...

Even if we sit here on the forums and discuss this and come up with viable ideas why PB has lost ground and why PB is not popular, nothing really matters. Honestly to me it feels as if there are two worlds. The real world where we fans live in where we cant find books i any store and most store has ...

Reading her almost 80 pages (A5) long travel diary i got it in a lab when I was captured by a mad scientist. He researched if he could transfer the power of psycics to another psycic. I got a mental affliction as well in the process.

I had a character that I played quite a while that I loved. She was a Human Vagabond with three minor psionic abilities (Resist Thirst, Resist Hunger and a home-made power called Radiation Immunity (which lasted a few minutes per level). She came from a small town outside Free Quebec and as she was ...

What do the Following Games have in Common? * Ars Magica * Rolemaster * Hero system * Shadowrun * Runequest * Blue Planet * Battletech * Vampire the Masquerade * Werewolf the Apocalypse * Vampire, (Africa setting) * GURPS Just to name a few. Well they all depicted Islam and Middle East and I have no...

Unfortunately not. Despite the fact that many other RPGs cover that area of the world in various settings, PB have never dared to publish any books. And although I never heard of any threats against RPG companies who do publish such area books, PB and their fans seem to think that that is their main...

Sure, but as KS says in HoH: Nothing is black & White in Rifts. You guys seem to put all evil flags on Prosek and Coalition all the time. I just try to see beyond the reason why he acts like and says the things he does. Evil for evil's sake is not that interesting in my eyes and I am happy that...

I wrote a big campaign for my players to create a advanced tec kingdom in Scandinavia it was quite fun. I should publish it as an article of Rifter or something.

I think the CS leadership is driven by greed/lust for power and use fear to control the masses to maintain and gain that power. So fear is the tool they use to control the masses but the driving force would be the greed/lust for power. Those that oppose the CS see the lust for power, while those co...

I find this discussion hillarious to be honest. How many times through the years hae this discussion/these discussions come up? Yes, sitting in 2017 with the facit of the history of the world, rather safe in our dens/living rooms in countries like Sweden, USA, Ireland, Norway or Canada where the thr...

Dunia

@eliakon With the book of doom and nuke comparison, you missed my point. Trying to tie these things to a vacuum is pointless and disingenuous because the availability of items that can be called plot devices is entirely up to campaign specifics. RPGs have a lot of "this is that, but never this...

6. The game system itself is...less than stellar, BUT, I am able to cobble and steal stuff from any other game system and jam it in there since RIFTS is just some sort of mutant hybrid system anyway...and if things don't quite fit or make sense, who cares? The setting is beautiful, regardless of th...

1. Lack of a central "bad guy" (the CS sort of counts, but in all of the games I have played or GM'ed, the CS always seems to rapidly fade into the background and never becomes a central theme for some reason). This means that a lot of the game is spent travelling and dealing with "n...

To tired to care about this thread and edited out my post.

I had a group of players who liked a Psi-Ghost NPC whom they considered one of their best friend and she had an alias as a citizen of Free Quebec and while going there alone to fetch things from her appartment, she did not return, so the group went to a city and got fake citizenships/bank accounts f...

I remeber reading somewhere that the Coalition States does not know what Erin Tarn looks like, all they have to go for is a 30 year old photo or something like that. How can this be? I honestly do not think that CS are morons. They must obviously have spies in all major kingdoms. Tarn is a city/King...

Dunia

Not to be a nay-sayer, but I find that a bit munchkin-ish. You get the bonus of being a dragon fro the powers that dragon get as they level. Why not let the humans and other non-mdc races pick teh various OOCs that exist

Dunia

Braden, that was a cool story!

Dunia

I just use the same phrase I (and a lot of others here) has used to discuss the Coalition States. Strange that whenever you complain about CS having plot immunity, no one complains, but when you say that Tarn has it, sddenly you have to defend using that phrase... :wink: So, it might be fair to say ...

Dunia

You're REALLY exaggerating there, especially when you accuse her of being narrow-minded regarding the CS and its leader. It is completely compatible with being open-minded to see the CS as an evil empire driven to commit genocide towards billions of sentient beings. One does not have to look and go...

Dunia

I am getting tired of Erin Tarn and her plot immunity and godlike presence. Whatever she does - she does it better than anyone and wherever she goes she is treated like the next comming (except in the Coalition States). She is so narrow minded when it comes to Emperor Prosek and the coalition States...

Dunia

HOHp7 "Emperor Prosek believes everything he says" is good to keep in mind... Although the very next page poses a problem... "We, the people of the Coalition States, stand in the defense of humanity. We alone have bled and died in the defense of our world against the invasion of inhu...

It is interesting how these threads keep popping up together with the "It is ok to commit genocide against Coalition States"-Threads every few months. Alignments in games are very narrow and often seen from the eyes of the games creator. I doubt many people in real life would be considered...

Yup, I am back. Just logged in to see what has happened and to my surprise is that there are one of two new books to Rifts since 2015. Thats awesome for Paladium Books and the Rifts Line. When it comes to the reason of this thread; What do I think keeps people from getting into the various games fro...

Oh sounds interesting.

So, 2015 has come and is on its last lap before retiring, before the birth of 2016. It was a few years ago since the last catalogue promised the publication of some 30+ books from Palladium games and to be honest I do not know how many of these we have seen in real life. I know the fact that Kevin h...

I am curiious about this: 1) As I have never played or looked at Savage Worlds, will there be a possible conversion guide to use all the Rifts books, or is it a totally new type of system that makes conversions too hard or not even possible? 2) It must be exciting for PB to open up to a new gamesyst...

Dunia

Disavowed?

Nothing about theDelta Blues books?

Dunia

The last book I heard about was NG2 has there been any books after that?

Dunia

Vampire sourcebook was one of the better books to Rifts in a long time, My favourite is still Shemarrian Nation. It is a great read

Dunia

Not to be a nay-sayer or in any way badmouthing PB and its people, but I seriously doubt that PB would be able to do anything good for the Battletech game and universe. Battletech was my first board/tabletop miniature game I was sucked into by an ex-bf and I loved it for all the fiction and atmosphe...

At least I will be safe from psychics, mages and other supernatural freaks while at the same time I will still have the option of going to school and university.

How can one not want to live there?

1) Book Structure
2) Check for typos
3) Check for inconsistencies within the book published
4) Check for inconsistencies towards other books.
5) Be more realistical about what books will be published in a year

Honestly, IF she had competition, I would like a CS Lieutenant names LT Justin "Lucky" Asholm. And his job would be Intel, and ALL his writings would be stolen Intel sent to the CS as he traveled the world to check the claims of Erin Tarn. I mean really? No one has wrote to confirm or den...

Dunia

Likewise, here are some other common/typical/defining Mary Sue traits that don't fit Tarn: -Tarn isn't young. I seem to recall (have not read the books in years) that no one in the CS nows how she looks now, they only have pictures of her as a young woman from the books. -Tarn isn't a novice who ou...

Dunia

When I used to GM Rifts, I had Erin Tarn as a bitter old woman who was angry with the world and glorified Lazlo as much as she could. She stole the tales of other people adventures and rewrote them to place her as the main protagonist, that was why all the tales were inconsistant.

And that the pixie is immune to all and any attacks by the Abrams as well. Even if it runs over the pixie.
