I found an example list https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/plan ... ted-items/

This by no means covers every cruise line companies but would be a good basis.

Icefalcon

I am pretty sure that cruise liners have the same kind of banned lists for their ships as airplanes.

As long............ as I have any....... thing to do with working on Palladium Books products as a freelancer I can pretty much assure you that SPLICERS won't be a closed IP!!!

I know I only had a quick readthrough today of NG 2 but I did find one small thing that bothered me. From a marketing standpoint (on NG's behalf), they are trying to sell the Forester to Wilderness Scouts. There is only one problem with that. Wilderness Scouts cannot get pilot power armor skills. I ...

Icefalcon

Very intriguing idea and poll you have here!!!

I would also like to ask:
Alright Chuck, I just got my hardcover today, so now I am ready to weigh in here.

1. What Top 5 NG PAs would you as a Player least like to encounter in the field in a combative scenario.

For five favorite: Forester, Thunder Hound, Beach Stormer, Demon Slayer and the Silent Shadow.

Here's what I picked:

Rifts: Chaos Earth - Because it's not a stand-alone game (main book), has few supplements, is poorly-designed, and seems to be more of an after-thought than anything else. Rifts RUE explains everything in Chaos Earth making it completely unneccessary.

Dead Reign - Never ...

Put Rifts on a 2 year sabbatical and focus on the other settings.
I don't think their biggest seller is ever going to see a sabbatical. That would seriously cripple the line first off and reduce Palladium sales to an all time low.
Was answering a "What if....." question. As such the answer does ...

I am not sure I agree with that Jorel. Most of the gamers I have had the pleasure of gaming with have not been the shy, awkward or quiet type. Heck, even a good majority have that Type A personality (which can make players and GM's butt heads on occasion). It may be true that most older gamers ...

I don't bother with podcasts. I cuts into my time better spent either writing, roleplaying or video game time.

I have one playing who jumps in over skype. It has been working so far.

Let's be honest--most of us are probably pretty socially awkward, and so we (I speak for myself, at least) can sometimes say something insensitive when I'm not thinking straight or don't have all the facts. But you're right. If people do it on purpose, they should keep it to themselves.
I have to ...

I definitely think PF should be dropped. Yes I know a few hundred people still play it. However, there are fantasy games out there that do it better that a few MILLION people play.

Icefalcon

I see a lot of suggestions for very large vessels (such as the aircraft carrier or submarine). One of the things to keep in mind for those, they carry a very large crew. If you run the numbers as suggested in the core book the number of survivors needed to run those vessels (with any degree of ...

I would like to weigh in on this one myself. Unfortunately, I have to wait until the hardcovers are sent out to receive mine.

Get together some friends that are into zombies and tell them they can play as survivors going about killing the undead and see how they respond.

I am thinking that if you can get the voltage and the amperage high enough, you can bypass shocking them all together to just start melting tissue. This idea occurred to me at work the other day (I am a welder) as I was watching the welding lead melt 1/4 inch steel rather rapidly. And let me tell ...

Icefalcon

I was thinking more along the lines of a cattle prod or stick taser (something like 18-24 inches). It gives yo a bit of reach instead of being right in grappling range.
There are ways to increase the output to those but forget where I read it
I know I saw it in an episode of Bones. I cannot ...

This is useful Josh. Do they go into how the zombies are animated in the first place? BTW, thanks for the info.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Too much snow and no snowplows would nix this one for me.

Low population, plentiful game and fish, abandoned mines, surrounded by water on three sides.

And if its like the rest of Mich. and Wis. there are more than a few snowmobiles around . The long cold ...

I liked most things about this book. One of my few complaints was the cover art. It was not up to par with the usual fare. I also thought it could have used more general purpose vehicles or even options for turning a vehicle into a smuggling vehicle. The background information was superlative though.

I had stayed away from the forums as much as I possibly could until I got the NG2 insider PDF because with NG1...well it got to be too much for me with all of the copious delays and waiting.
You are not the only one staying away while we wait for NG2. I have posted very little over the last six ...

Have you ever tried to aim a gun through a camera from a remote location? Not an easy thing. And yes, while a character may have the skills to program a targeting program, the limits of technology will mean that it probably will not be very accurate and sure will not be fast enough to adjust to ...

Radioactive spill that causes radioactive mutants that mimic the idea of a zombie?

For fast escapes from fourth floor windows, there are inflatable slides that are sometimes used as emergency fire escapes in taller buildings.

Having said that however, I would never use a building in a city for a safe haven because there are too many other things to worry about other than zombies ...

I like the glue bomb. It is a silly thing I had not even considered. Maybe I should go back to the Looney Tunes style of silly.

Icefalcon

What kind of power source does the Thermal Imaging camera run off of? Do they need special batteries or does it go with a few d-cells?

Icefalcon

It may be a game but I like to introduce a little realism to the situation. If everything is reduced to a die roll then what's the point?

Icefalcon

I'm pretty confident a skilled character would be able to accomplish the needed programming. The arms would be a first action defense against an invasion while humans get suit up for the combat. Not to mention a background operator would be at the helm at the arms control center.

Hydroelectric and Geothermal are are very difficult to set up when you are one the run. For that matter, so would solar panels to a degree unless you happen to find them along the way. You need time, safety and the knowledge to build any of the power sources let alone a different set of skills to ...

Repurposing industrial robots to have weaponry is a good idea. Put a few with sniper rifles, greanade launchers, rocket launchers, large automatic weapons or what have you. Mount some optic relay stuff on them and one person could effectively protect a large area.
Only problem is that you have to ...

Icefalcon

I find a large fenced in area is somewhat easy to defend against the creepers. During the day you a fire off a few rounds to keep the numbers down. At nighttime it would be harder cuz your glow can be seen for miles. However if your group has someone with robotic skills you can repurpose a few ...

Zombies rotting from having lye poured on them and then bumping into each other seems like a quick way of creating fused zombies.

Depends on what you have available for tools. It could be anything from steel turned into sword to pneumatic guns to homemade tasers.

Icefalcon

I have to agree with Filo here. Most of my players like Dead Reign just because it is hard for them to survive. They do not "automatically" succeed in everything they attempt and the failures are more remembered more fondly in that game than the successes.

If combat is what your players want ...

I like the Bulldog and the Gunwolf.

Still waiting on my hardcover copy to even get a LOOK at the robots.

I am not keen for the focus to shift even more heavily to the Road Reapers. In the games I run, I do not let them become the central focus of all things zombie hunting.

Don't forget bomb disposal robots. They have advanced sensor equipment, arms and a armored compartment to transport things.

There are exploration robots used in mines and cave diving that can be used for exploratory work.

Robotic assistants for the elderly could be used as makeshift nurses for the ...

They could be robots that you see in the show Robot Wars. And they can now be armed with real weapons used to battle zombies..
