In Dragons & Gods, it does state: "Vampire Note: Erick and I plan on releasing a sourcebook specifically dedicated to the vampires of the Palladium World. That book will contain in-depth information about the undead and their activities. In the meanwhile, players may want to take a peek at ...

Eric42

Still haven't heard anything from anybody about it.

Eric42

Over the years, I have sent emails to several asking to become an Ambassador, including one recently. Does no one respond to these emails anymore?

Eric42

Here it is almost October and still, i have heard nothing. Lol

Eric42

Could any pre-made adventures ever get published?

Eric42

I have seen people play games based upon 9/11.

Whatever man. I think you're missing something but whatever.

Mods: could you delete or at least lock this thread?

Eric42

I think you're being a bit too unkind. I admitted from the getgo that it was a little on the nose. But then, it's also about the vaccine, not Covid itself. AND it really isn't much different than what presented in the DR core book anyways: I just gave it a name that made it a lot more relatable. I a...

Greetings and Salutations. Rifter #59 has an article by Paul Herbert titled: The Lion, The Ditch & The Warlock. This is an adventure that takes place on Lopan during the games. The author loved Palladium Fantasy (and I hope still does, but haven't seen him around for a while) and wa...

Eric42

So I have been reading Garden of the Gods and starting on page 14, it talks about some of the background of the island of Lopan and its sister island Phi. In this background story, it mentions the Lopanic Games as a thing that is done everything three years and is joined by nearly every nation and r...

Eric42

As I have been reading Garden of the Gods and referring back to other books (like Old Ones and Dragons and Gods), I wondered if Kevin has ever thought about releasing books that are just pure lore books and not "game" books. I would love to have something like this to really flesh out the ...

Eric42

Believe it or not, the experience points charts for the Endless Dead occ's can be found on page 141 to 142 of In the Face of Death.

Eric42

There is the Tinkerer, but I can't remember which issue of the rifter it is in.

Eric42

Well palladium gets enough for my money but they weren't happy enough I guess as Kevin just announced the publication of many hardcover core rule books. I have already pre-ordered my fantasy hardcover. Anyone else getting it?

Eric42

This would be awesome. I'd love to know the answer myself.

Eric42

So I am reading one of my newest books, Garden of the Gods, and while I have read bits and pieces throughout the book already, I had not yet read the introduction story and material. So I just got done with the introduction story. Without saying any spoilers, it has me wanting more. But it also has ...

Eric42

Of all the things that I ever thought I would see here on this forum, a heated debate about time zones and clocks wasn't one of them. May I throw my two cents in? Time zones as an offical thing may not be very old, but as an idea, they are. I have no proof but I know that for as long as trains and c...

Eric42

My two cents.... Most of the items enchanted to let people breath while underwater would more likely be found near bodies of water where people live and work. Even so they would probably cost an arm and a leg, because of demand for them. If they find them in a magic shop inland, no-where near any s...

Eric42

Hang on, I have in open on PDF ... <ALT> +<TAB> ... I'm back... Page 28, left column, starts halfway down the page. Last two paragraphs for entry of The Artifex Wing. Cool, thanks. I was hoping it they had made the Tinkerer a bit more "official" than the original article said it was. I pe...

Eric42

Wow. When I posted the original message, I had been working a good bit and I had been thinking (daydreaming?) at work about the idea and I wanted to get the idea written down, but I, as I said in the original message, don't have a lot of the books yet. However, I did glimpse into my Fantasy core to ...

Eric42

So, because I do not have a lot of the books yet, I was wondering if anyone can help me out with this. I have been toying with the idea of an adventure that would have a moment where players could go into the sea / ocean an explorer the ruins I guess you would say of an old sunken ship. Of course on...

Eric42

OK. Cool, but doesn't that kind of make it OP, especially with the dodge bonus? Almost every ability says either a +1 or +2 to dodge. A few of the abilities in the Parkour skill specify "bonus to dodge with this maneuver", but most of them just say +1 or +2 to dodge. Not limited to that a...

Eric42

Actually, there is a blurb about that in the Library of Bletherad. Tinkerers are considered...to put it bluntly...insane. The way the people in general look at technology as *we* know it... If you can't be bothered to learn the skill, and would rather find a way to do it easier/faster...learn magic...

Eric42

Years ago, I had this idea and since I am trying to spur on conversation here in the Dead Reign forum, I thought I'd share the basics of that idea. So, the game would begin as a variant of a Beyond the Supernatural game in a sense. Something weird is going on and the PCs are engaged into finding out...

Eric42

I have two questions about the new Parkour skill from "In the Face of Death" source book. 1. Is the Special Dodging Capability in parkour intended to be used with the character's H to H skill? 2. The parkour Base skill % is listed for all abilities. Does that mean to use the Special Dodgi...

Eric42

Well, it does go with my joke on Twitter that I'll worry about COVID when it starts turning people into zombies. For myself, I got it back in July, and kicked it about as quickly as any flu. Perhaps the majority of people who have recovered could be the carriers of the zeke virus when it happens in...

Eric42

Oh okay. I actually figured as much and I am cool about it. I was just wondered when I saw something mentioned elsewhere. Thanks!

Eric42

And how do you define a generation? And why so long?

Eric42

I know, I do also feel that it is quite on the nose and it may be way too soon to use it as an idea, but I've had the idea bouncing around in my head for a few days now and thought I'd share it. Honestly, all I did was reframe the first idea from the core rulebook so I don't know if I'll do much mor...

Eric42

Deleted by OP.

Eric42

Has anyone ever made up a list of new occupations for use in DR (and perhaps BTS), like what is found in the Dead Reign core book? I have thought about trying to make up new occupations to expand that list up to roughly 100 occupations. Just an idea.

Eric42

From Dead Reign core, p. 191, under the "Skill Bonuses" heading: "For example: The Physical skill of Swim reads: Base Skill: 50% +5% per level of experience. This means that a first level character without an occupational bonus has a base skill proficiency of 50%. At second level +5% ...

Eric42

Under the Survivor O.C.C., the rules say that I can start a character's OCC skills at level 1D4 (1-4), to represent the time they did non-survivory things before the Wave hit. But all their other skills (elective and secondary) don't get that same boost. Say I roll a 4. Does that mean that for the ...

Eric42

In the effort to get some conversation started in here, I've had this question rattling around in my head: How much time will pass before the Zombie Apocalypse will be over? Okay, I know that this'll differ for each individual GM, but that's the point. See, I was thinking that it'll take, at minimum...

Is there a downloadable version of the adventure? I'd love to print it out and possibly run it sometime. I also don't have consistent internet access so having a local copy would be great in reading it.

Eric42

I just got this book, along with the other five sourcebooks, and I would say it is worth it. I haven't fully looked at it, just looked through it, but it has a lot of stuff in it. And it is bigger than the other sourcebooks by far. "11 new zombie types seven classes, even if two are over powere...

Eric42

Hey, thanks! That helps a lot.

Eric42

So I've got a player that wants to be a blacksmith/blade master in my upcoming Dead Reign game. But I don't see a blacksmith skill in any of the Palladium books that I have, which isn't much yet, though that's growing. So, while I know I could come up with my own (or work with her to create the righ...

Eric42

I am just looking for fan made adventures and stuff that others have made. I am not looking for anything in particular, I guess. Just stuff people have made.

Eric42

I have no group as of yet. I'm just trying to have something already made up before I start trying to find people. I have a few ideas and my own little back story to how it all started but I'm looking for more content.

Eric42

So, this October may end up being a month of Dead Reign for me, if I can get things up and running. I am hoping that I am not starting too late for this at my LGS, but if nothing else, I am hoping to get things going on a Discord RPG server I am on. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any adventur...

Eric42

In the past, I have allowed players to do things to learn a new skill. For instance, in a game that I once took over, the players had just made it to a military outpost. There I allowed those that did not have a hand to hand combat skill to "learn" one by being taught by some military pers...

Eric42

So, I am trying to combine Beyond the Supernatural into a game of Dead Reign and wondered, for the purposes of stuff from BtS, would the zombies of DR count as supernatural creatures? Think the Mind Bolt psionic from BtS (p121).

Eric42

So I need to get some issues settled. Here's one what does losing initiative mean in game terms?

Eric42

A contadiction. I don't understand why it wouldn't.

Eric42

I just noticed this book listed in the upcoming section of the website. It sounds good. Any ideas when it'll actually coming out?

Eric42

If it is going to be a NPC then you don't need to write her up as so much but his personality and his skill and her possession and what the NPC knows. The Saloon Girl in the Rifts New West book is the template I go to for bar/tavern maids. Just replacing the modern skills with ones from the PF sett...

Eric42

I'd call the barmaid a Vagabond/Peasant OCC, myself. I don't see a terrible reason for them to be a full OCC. That's a fantastic idea! Except, I think the merchant occ would be better. Thanks for the idea! If you want the bard's songs to grant blessings or something like that, you might make him th...

Eric42

So, I'm designing my first real adventure and was wondering about what I ought to make available to the players right away. That brings me to my question... What items should be made available to them in, say, the "starting" town? They should face down a witch, so I'm tempted to have a pro...

Eric42

I also want to have a barmaid too, but I've found no setups for one, except in Dead Reign's normal occ list - "Wait Staff/Cook", but there is too much I'd have to eliminate... too many of the "modern" skills...
