I prefer to keep Rifts as close to the original main books implied N. American setting of humanity barely hanging on in small pockets in an otherwise monster ridden wilderness.

Wooly

I remember very clearly a sourcebook called Speed Tribes for Rifts. It never got written. I want to say Tim Bradstreet pitched it.

I’ve re-hosted the Thumper illustration Chuck Walton did on comission for me at GenCon 2015.

What a fun thread to revisit! I carried a M203 grenade launcher for a time as an infantryman. They are devastating weapons that go from great to excellent in the hands of a skilled grenadier who can lob grenades at an angle into hardened positions. A “carom” round for banked ricochet shots would be ...

Love the grenade ideas guys!

Here is the piece Chuck did to illustrate this weapon: https://anonmgur.com/up/5c6cf15cce10756 ... cc4b8b.jpg

Rolled up a new Wilderness Scout who wears Bushman armor.

Are there any other illustration references beyond those below? Obviously the same Kevin Long art is in RMB. Thanks!

Well I think Monday is a good day to have the Splicers bi-weekly content blast go out.

Wooly

I think it is a neat as long as the players are ok with it and understand there are advantage and disadvantage cards in the deck. The e-clip one is easily over come since any competent warrior is going to do a function check of his weapon at least once a day.

May I ask, What day do would you all vote for the Topic Day to be? Hoping to hear more about the preserves. Prehistoric animals; mammals and dinosaurs are a great interest of mine so I am hoping for a lot of bio diversity in flora and fauna. Having a threat for players beyond just the machine will ...

This is excellent news! Thanks for the plug. Would you post the author's real names so I can post this on the Splicers Unofficial Google+ Community forum?

How are the books shipped to International customers? US Postal Service is usually the best bet for cheap rates internationally. Just so our friends abroad know Americans get hosed plenty on shipping too. I collect board games and spend quite a bit on postage from the UK and Europe. If there is an i...

The problem with calling the CS Nazis is that the enemies of the Nazi regime were largely contrived. The enemies of the CS were calling the shots for 300+ years and had pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. The policies of the CS are a very human and reasonable response to centuries of being h...

in any event, those 4-6 books are in all likelihood the exact same ones we were promised before. they'll most likely come out eventually. one of them might come out this year. and it is almost certain that we won't see them all finished for quite some time. I believe this is the case. I know that C...

There isn't any reason to keep humans from interacting with non mechanical objects it would still make bio-tech necessary.

A play on the old Strongbow Cider logo would also be appropriate inspiration for the 177th Infantry Regiment's unit logo even if Strongbow is rather lousy cider.

Good maybe you could explain this note Pinnacle sent out then: Pinnacle Entertainment, the publishers of Savage Worlds, Lankhmar: City of Thieves and Deadlands have entered into a licensing agreement with Palladium Books to produce an edition of the Rifts roleplaying game for the Savage Worlds rule...

Wooly

I doubt Palladium Books would do this since they would not have any "real" control over what is written other then in a set of guidlines, and from what I'v e seen Palladium wants the control, total control. You might be right, but I would consider such thinking to be inaccurate. Kindle Wo...

Killer Cyborg introduced me to Kindle Worlds with the post above. I think it is a topic worthy of its own thread. I hadn't heard of Kindle Worlds before and there already some heavy hitter IPs involved. Namely GI Joe, Veronica Mars, and the Wool saga of post apoc fiction. Currently there are 46 &quo...

Wooly

The single best idea that I've heard for a while is for Palladium to try to get into the Kindle Worlds program, which would allow people to write and sell ebook Palladium fan-fiction, with Palladium dictating the terms/parameters of the fiction (i.e., no porn), and getting a cut of the profit. IF P...

That sounds great Cyborg! I fear that Rifts licensing is tried up with the movie deal however? Obviously that is speculation but that would be my concern.

Wooly

I've always seen it as each individual GMs responsibility to explain to players what the setting and scope of a campaign is going to be.

Flying from star to star in Phase World heroic campaign will have different feel then a City Rats in Chi Town campaign.

Wooly

Okay just ignoring the stuff about the culture and moderation of these boards for a moment, I think the single biggest thing driving the decline of traffic here is that Palladium has been around for a long time, its game lines are pretty old and its last big breakout hit was Rifts, and almost all o...

I asked Kevin at GenCon 2015 if he reads the forums. He says he does not (which I believe has been his long standing answer). The problem with criticism isn't that it isn't warranted.
