I'm still trying to figure out what a BlackSteel Monst-rex and Wolf would be like..!

Something like a four-legged shadow beast, I imagine, with bigger teeth.

You're not wrong...

The Altess in general are... problematic. Both in narrative AND game mechanics. -sigh- They are there as a 'nyah nyah' to other players and for the GM to self-concuss when a potential new player wants to munchkin out. Seriously the best way too deal with them is as annoying and rage inducing NPC's a...

47 years resident of Lazlo -ahem- I mean Toronto, Ontario...Canada. I've filled & fleshed out my own version of Lazlo ages ago since, DESPITE being the most important, non-facist / non-Neo-neo-Nazi city in the original Rifts book; NOTHING has been written aside from the barest of fluff text. Fro...

Most effective PC i ever had in one of my games; someone playing equivalent of a Vagabond ('Normal' person from BTS / Ninja's & superspies) who was ex MI-6 turned butler (his idea not mine). Saved the POWER-gamers from total disaster when they were trapped in a badly compromised fortress surroun...

Well in light of THIS---> https://youtu.be/n9xhJrPXop4, I think the interstellear empire tables will be getting quite a bit of use.
But I refuse to have FTL travel constrained by cinnamon puked up by half-mile long worms.

Having dealt with the Black-Steel incursion in-game, the girls have been a bit quiet. The un-civila war still rages in the Shadows, but Haegen isn't feeling too good (what, with the source of his new ideas suddenly vanishing like a muse when the bar closes) and is kinda dropping the ball on his end....

TL:DR; "Coalition is just misunderstood.." UH...no. The State, Nation and Party of the Coalition states is EVIL. All caps. The INDIVIDUALS within it, may not be, but that does not negate the fact the polity and military of the CS is EVIL (again; all caps). The only thing that sepperates th...

Well now. A not CS-centric story located in a land only breezed-past in Rifts Africa (and by breeze I mean light zephyr), with a polity that hasn't seen any story love in ages. I approve. 4 thumbs up. Question though; does this take place before or after the Minion War incursion? Meaning; are the 4...

Liking this latest table.
Comedic and dramatic potential up the yin-yang.

Any TW who knows the spell or has a friend who knows the spell can make a TW item to do it. See the rules for making TW items in RUE. This just made me realize, now that all shifters start off knowing Dimensional Portal, devices that do that should probably be a lot more accessible. Though a shifte...

None (ever) made for Rifts[tm].
Because...reasons.
However there is a site that at least has maps that can be used for a rifts D-crawl (with a whole bunch of work by the GM to square peg / round hole).

All really good ideas... truly they are. I am of course going to ignore all of them however as over the nearly 30 years (gods I'm old) I've been developing my rifts 'verse, space travel DOES happen and diplomatic relations have occurred between orbitals and certain 'mud-sider' polities. * However, i...

Based on the full illustration of the Wolfen Quatoria, I was under the impression that Wolfen in the Three Galaxies had human-like knees and not the reversed ones of PF. Did any later dimension books go back on that? The Quatroia being a cyborg might have plantigrade legs instead of digigrade they ...

Bizarrely enough; they (the PC crew) defeated the Blacksteel foundy base.
O.B.B. (Orbital Bovine Bombardment).

Not really, but close enough.

Think heavy mass-driver slug enchanted with the 'Charm Weapon' spell from Nightbane.

Still thinking?
I can wait.

There we go; NOW you see it.

Sad but true. I.P. licensing is so [censored]-up that yeah, KS had to do that. 99% of people NOT in the industry (re; humanity) think that is assinine and absurd and downright pig-ignornat STUPID... but 'Lawyers'. So, yeah.

Long version =physics, geometry, math, boring [censored].
TL:DR = You stupid why you want map?
Seriously, no one CARES about scale, scope or the "reality".
They don't.
At all.
They want pretty pictures with dots saying YOU ARE HERE.
That is it.
STOP ALWAYS MAKING IT ABOUT YOU!

DhAkael

B.T.W.; I mapped all 3 Galaxies ages ago into a hex-grid. The scale / distances are... umm... large but hey, at least the systems are laid out in a relatively logical dispersion.
Slade teh Sinper snagged them off me a week or so ago.

[Edit] Sorry I misread (been a long feqn month and it's only a week in); I thought it was the REAPER you were talking about from NE:W2.
No, the Deaths-head mecha does NOT have any head. No head for the mech.

If you find the glut of information intimidating and somewhat confusing; "Congratulations, welcome to Rifts(tm)!" ROTFLMBOE! -ahem- In all seriousness though, a prospective GM or (GM willing) player does not need ALL of the expanded Shemarrian Nation material presented here or even the tru...

Well... the team did it; and mostly (90%) through role-play as opposed to roll-play .

I've seen it done several ways: 1. The Millennium Falcon/Firefly/Rocinante A single vehicle big enough that everyone and their stuff fits onboard, but small enough that it doesn't attract too much attention or require a big crew.

Seeing as how the NG particle-beams are also stated as doing "50% more damage on a critical strike" , I'm inclined to think that means the weapons in question do X2.5 damage as opposed to the standard X2. Otherwise, if read "the other way", NG PBeams only do X1.5 damage on a crit...

DhAkael

Seriously; you're going to go by the 'canon' numbers? Which are absurdly small... like pathetically idiotically 'hack-writer' small. It is (repeat after me) "The purview of the GM" to make the MEGAVERSAL conflict as large or as small as required & wanted. Don't feel like altering thing...

Though it occurs to me that the space borne slaughter of Chorii space fleets might create zones of necromantic PPE release(even if individual Choroii don't count for much, millions of them getting snuffed out in short order adds up) drawing the attention of OTHER threats.

Killer spider-polar-bears with guns and swords. Sadly, even if the Flamewing were nearby to assist; you wouldn't want them visiting (though they WOULD be thorough). Even a combined Skull-Crusher & Blood Rider fleet would have... "difficulties" clearing the void around Evales.
