Stormseed

Is the book going actually to be PoD?

Stormseed

There's something else I noticed about the AK-347. Under the Firebird, it does 2d6 for a single shot and uses 10 round bursts. The listing in the back of the book has 1d6 single shots and 20 round bursts. The ammo capacity is different as well.

Stormseed

One thing that I'm wondering is why most of the character classes don't get much in the way of skill progression.

Stormseed

I was more amused than I probably should be by how that Praxian is blatantly checking out that UEG soldier's butt.

Stormseed

Something I'm wondering - Some of the Marines get 'Red Barnacle' armor, but I don't see that in the book. Is it in another?

Ya, fluff is world data.

Stormseed

The more new stuff I see, the more I want to play this. No one around is playing Rifts, tho.

Stormseed

The description reminds me of Deus Ex. I'm not really sure why. And IIRC, you guys are still on the SE side of Houston, right?

*waggles eyebrows*

Stormseed

I think I disagree with "Agent Sponsored" being so high a cost. While it's a great benefit to the players , it doesn't do a whole hell of a lot for the agency itself... there's no big advantage to it. I think I would take a page from later "Create an Organization" rules and make...

Only 90 more years until the end of the world...

Stormseed

I would be willing to playtest this so much.

Now I'm off to design Veritech-sized bolters.

No, there was not. I've generally assumed around 30' raise along the Gulf Coast, which has very shallow waters. A rise of that level would pretty much obliterate Houston, IIRC. Anyway, I'm seeing another Oklahoma Land Rush, possibly followed by a Rush to Get the Hell back Out of Oklahoma. :flees:

How about simple EME communications? Thats Earth - Moon - Earth for you non-shortwave types out there. Basically a powerful earth based directional antenna "reflects" a radio wave off the moon and back down to earth some where far away. Simple, and it can be achieved by amateurs today. He...

Leaky Life Support

Every time an airlock/cargo door/panel is opened in vacuum, some of the air or other consumables bleeds off into space. The system will need to be topped off at every stop, and will rapidly become expensive and dangerous on long trips.

On skimming the thread, my mind turned this into something perverse and disgusting.

... That's really all I have to contribute right now.

Stormseed

Was anyone else as utterly creeped out as I was by the Juicer on page 61?

Braden Campbell wrote:How can you stop them? Why haven't they taken over the universe?

There are other species that are just as powerful, if not moreso.

Stormseed

It's probably best limited to a Burbs campaign or the like. I doubt that it would be very useful anytime else.

Astral_Explorer wrote:Might make for nice artwork but in all honesty I loved when Rifts first came out and mages were like anyone else.

I agree completely. If I ever get to play Rifts again I plan on making a case for going back to that.

I think that a Predator would have his ass handed to him by a Lanotar, tho.

Josh looks really creepy in that picture.

Stormseed

If I ever run it, I plan on making it a colony... in the same dimension as Rifts Earth. It would explain why the cavalry hasn't arrived at any rate.

The ancient Atlantean society never falls. Phal is working on something like that. Humans learn how to harness the entire 100% of their brains. (as opposed to the 10% we're supposed to use now.) That's not how it works. People use 10% of their brains at any one time. All of the brain has a known fu...

From the OP, a Noli Psi-Slayer isn't book-legal. The write-up for psi-slayers says that they can only be human.

Dead Boy wrote:4,000? Are you sure about that? I went with 1,200 because that's what they said each modern day MRE has on an episode of Mail Call, (I miss that show).

I've heard that the thing about 4,000 calories is non-coms telling the enlisted men that when the supply chain goes FUBAR.

Dustin Fireblade wrote:Yeah it says this on page 10 in the description of the plague, but then on page 11 under "Exposure to Complex Powered Items" it lists robots, power armor and vehicles as items that trigger the plague.

I'm pretty sure that means robots brought from "elsewhere."

The book says that the nanites don't affect functioning robots.

Kevin has the uncanny ability to schedule Open House during the last few weeks of the academic year.

Sorry, Stormseed. The Nexus Maw (from the Megaverse Builder) is a hell of a psion! Fortunately, Stormseed also randomly rolled a psychosis against supernatural intelligences. I couldn't make it up if I tried. It's that sort of thing that made me a believer in luck. Of course, I also believe in Tutt...

If we do play again, it will probably be with different characters - Kimba and his wife are moving.
