Whatever happened to.....Razzinold?

After a VERY long hiatus from the boards he thought he'd pop by and see what's up because he was wearing his Coalition States golf shirt today.

Razzinold

So, I had low energy nuclear reaction systems brought to my attention by Toc-Rat today....and it has been apparently under research since 1989.... I have always assumed that Rifts "nuclear" power was a form of fusion of some kind and now I am convinced it would be of this type. In additio...

Razzinold

Thanks to both of you, that makes things much easier to understand.

Looking for some help here. I have never played After the Bomb and now my players would like me to run a game for them. I was reading over the book and I'm still not quite sure how the whole BIO-E thing works during creation. For example, my one player wants to play a dolphin and it says that their ...

I really like Pepsi Jedi's passionate criticism of my "militant refugee" faction. That's exactly the kind of thing I'd like to see in a new Lazlo book: criticism of other positions and battling perspectives. I have a few thoughts in response to his excellent critique: First, I'm not inter...

At one point in the game's history dodging didn't just use up an attack, it specifically used up the next attack. This meant you could have been forced onto the defensive until you got behind cover, decided to take the hit, or got a better initiative roll. It's possible the author had that version ...

I would run it like this (like the OP wrote) Action H 1 shoot G 1 dodge G 2 counter shoot H 2 dodge H 3 shoot G 3 dodge G 4 counter shoot H 4 dodge May or may not add the -6 wild shooting penalty to the Head Hunter. My reasoning for this is, while both classes are quite familiar with bullets coming ...

Razzinold

Thanks everybody for the help, and so quickly, I passed all the information on to the player.

Razzinold

Is there a true machine race in Rifts? I'm not talking about cyborgs or skelebots, more like Exos from Destiny or the Robot from Lost in Space. I'm not looking for any conversions, so please don't suggest any, I was just using those as a point of reference to help explain exactly what it is that I'...

I know when we played a game similar to what you mentioned above, our GM read Chaos Earth. He said it gave him so good information about the dangers/benefits of moving as part of a large convey vs smaller raiding party. Rifts Canada should cover the answers to most of your above questions, they even...

Fellow Canadian here with an idea for you. If you live close to the border then it might be viable for you to use an American parcel pickup service. Basically they give you a shipping address thats close to the border and you have stuff shipped there. You can then scoot across the border and go pic...

The hilarious thing to me is that neither natural uranium nor depleted uranium are particularly radioactive or toxic, but the books present them as such environmental threats that the Coalition bans them. This is absurd on many levels. Even if you used weapons-grade uranium in these bullets, there ...

Razzinold

The only issue i have with the WB5 stats for DU rounds is that they misrepresent the radiation hazard. They present U-rounds as radioactive and DU as not. Probably as a result of a misunderstanding of the 'depleted' term. It is a common mistake I've seen though. DU is just as radioactive as standar...

Razzinold

I know what your thinking... Did he fire six shots or only 5? In all the excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a 41 pound 120mm smooth bore depleted uranium longrod flying 3700mph capable of annihilating anything on the battlefield at a range of over a mile and a half, you've g...

Razzinold

Triax 1 is where they first show up Game Masters Guide reprints them I'm pretty sure Heroes of Humanity has them as well I believe Thanks so much! I knew the DU Rounds did more damage and U-Rounds were good against the supernatural. I should have thought to check Triax because of all the gargoyles.

Razzinold

Haven't used them since I was a teenager and for the life of me I can't remember which book they were in. I kept thinking RMB or maybe Juicer Uprising. I checked both, may have missed it though.
Can anybody help?

Razzinold

Is there some reason you think they keep their P.E.? I ask because on RUE, page 47 we have the "Attribute Note" that tells us only to roll "the three mental attributes: I.Q., M.E., and M.A." I believe P.B. was only supposed to be included if you kept a human face. Of course, tha...

Razzinold

The one time I played a 'Borg was way back when I first started playing Rifts, and the GM had a lot of house rules, so I'm not sure which rules are the correct ones and it was so long ago I'm pretty hazy on the details to begin with. I know they need to breathe, since they need to feed oxygen to the...

Razzinold

Other than New West, and the W.I. guns from Mercenaries, does anybody remember SDC Pistol references ? Triax 2 has two sdc laser weapons, the Waffentek volkspistole and the waffentek hell-fighter rifle. Thanks I will check them out. Also thanks to everybody else in the thread for their suggestions/...

Razzinold

Figures, a bush plane sounded perfect for what I needed. Anybody know anything comparable listed in any other books? I figure I will check GAW or maybe just home brew something.

Razzinold

Yet another Northern Gun question. pg 78 of NG1. Under standard equipment they mention the Skyshadow Bush Plane. I didn't see any mention in NG 1 or 2, unless I missed it, anybody happen to know where this is listed ?

Razzinold

Other than New West, and the W.I. guns from Mercenaries, does anybody remember SDC Pistol references ? At the risk of sounding obvious, the RGMG has a small selection of common SDC guns. It's not obvious, I just forgot to mention that in my original post, lol Thanks for catching that Mack I was hop...

Razzinold

Sounds good to me. I always planned on making one for myself but you know....laziness, lol

Razzinold

Sounds like you got a good haul there too. I love my surprise package, my wife is the one that ordered it for me and she got me some sweet stuff! The numbered print and the original sketch are already both framed and hung on the walls, now I just have to frame the negative and figure out a way to fr...

Razzinold

Ok PM back

Razzinold

Fanatasitc! Thanks Mack! I knew I’ve seen some, just couldn’t remember where.
I need to find a cost effective way to get a hold of NG2

Razzinold

Unfortunately I don’t own that one yet, I finally got NG1 because my wife got it for me in the surprise package.

Razzinold

Reaching out to everyone on the boards to help me with a bit of research. I'm looking for N.G. brand body armour, anybody know which book(s) I can find some in ? I recently acquired Northern Gun 1 and so far the only armour I see stated out is the exo-skeleton for the police officers. Thanking you a...

Razzinold

Ok so I'm a little late in posting this, considering I opened it on Christmas, but I've been sick for so freaking long I am finally getting around to it. I have always wanted to order one of these for myself, but could never justify the cost of spoiling myself, but my wife surprised me and ordered m...

Awesome

thanks for the help.

Razzinold

I personally always liked the "Big Bore" series of weapons from New West. Now the BB-6 might not be the most powerful, only 1D6 per "bullet", but the chance for knock down compensates for that (IMO). I think the gun looks cool and who wouldn't want to wield a gun with it's own Ho...

Razzinold

Ok, so unless I am missing it completely I don't see this armour listed under new armour types in W.B. 10 Juicer Uprising, even though it's listed under the equipment that the Phaeton Juicer usually selects. Can anyone help me out here ? Am I missing something in this book ? Is it listed in another ...

Razzinold

As others have said, RMB and Unrevised Conversion Book are great source materials to start with. The Land of Damned books from Palladium Fantasy also have a great variety of potential antagonists and more tables to make up your own critters. On the matter of vampires, i would suggest also giving th...

Razzinold

I know I want to include Haunted Children but I can't remember which book they are in Adventures in Dinosaur Swamp (don't have the book so can't do pg #) but I want them to hunt supernatural creatures (vamps, werewolves, wendigo, etc). Can you help me out with some suggestions, book and page number...

Razzinold

Watch a few seasons of "Supernatural", or some anime like Vampire Hunter D or Full Metal Alchemist, and read some comics from Zenescope, such as Van Helsing, though even the Wonderland series could be mined for ideas. Also don't be afraid to 'borrow' from other games like D&D/Pathfind...

Razzinold

In addition to Dark Conversions, I recommend the random table found in the back of the original Rifts Main Book. I heartily concur with this recommendation if you have access to it. It makes for some very interesting creatures. Thirded. Heartily support that table, was the biggest loss in RUE. Luck...

Santa was angry with me last year and brought me flu. And my wife a solo trip to Greece. We were expecting to spend a proper time together and have a look at some properties in Athens , got a business idea, dreaming of moving closer to the sea, well, next trip to Greece will be in April only. Ticke...

Razzinold

Thank you both for the help. I did plan on tweaking all of the creatures, personality wise, I was just looking more for stats (and types) so I didn't have to homebrew everything. I planned on running werewolves like a tribal race of people, like Vikings, so they will all be different. I am going to ...

Hey everyone. I'm starting up a new campaign tomorrow about a Merc group, talk about original and eh?, but I want them to hunt supernatural creatures (vamps, werewolves, wendigo, etc). Can you help me out with some suggestions, book and page number would help.i have some ideas but I'm looking for mo...

Razzinold

Razzinold - if you haven't ordered one already don't. You'd be better off to go to World's Collide and have them just order them for you if they can.......I've bought a grab bag, once shipping and exchange rate is taken into account it is not worth it in my opinion. I didn't order, funny enough I s...

A sick wife and child. I see your sick wife and child and raise you another sick child. All 3 of them were sick the whole time I had off, December 23 - January 2nd. Just like I predicted I managed to fight it off until the day before I was to return to work. So now I'm at the worst of it but still ...

I am aware of that, but I thought I'd check since the post said "any time soon" Like I said I have my fingers crossed I find a copy in a local store. Would taking advantage of the Xmas Grab Bag cut down some of the cost for you? If you put it as "am starting a group, and since I can'...
