Here you are my attempt for a Rifts GM Screen. Hope you like it.

As always, click on the upper-right button for an automatic google translation.

Enjoy!

This seriously rocks, sir. Job well done and kudos!

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Hope it serves the Embassy well enough.

Brilliant! Thanks, and well done!

By now I'm fixing some erratas. I'll upload the new version ASAP.

If you see something wrong, please tell me. Any comments are welcomed.

Sounds good--btw, used this screen in my game last week. Thanks again!

Very nice job, though I'm running a heavily houseruled version, it'll still come in handy. Much better than the official ones actually.

As a side note, going off the main book, speed *20 in yards or meters per minute. If you use meters and convert back to yards you get speed * .75 = mph. speed*20*1.1*60*3/5280=.75speed That's attribute times 20 in meters per minute, times 1.1 is yards per minute, times 60 is yards per hour, times 3 is feet per hour, divided by 5280 is miles per hour.

Cool!! Glad you use it!!

This is a great addition.. Thanks!

Thanks. There is a new corrected version.

Well Done!

Dang this is awesome. Everyone from the noob to the sage will love what you have made available.

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Excellent!!!
Ill be using this.

Awesome job on the screen! I love it!

The sheet has a ton of house rules all over embedded into it, .... There is no +1d6/2d6 rule, these tables are NOT the rules as written.

Heroes Unlimited 2nd Edition Pg. 15 Step 1: The Eight Attributes & Attribute Bonuses Paragraph two.
After The Bomb Pg. 11 Step 1: The Eight Attributes & Attribute Bonuses Paragraph two, sentence 3.
Dead Reign Pg 146 Step One: The Eight Attributes subsection Exceptional right off the bat.
PFRPG Pg 14 Step 1: The Eight Attributes & Attribute Bonuses subsection An exceptional roll for humans
Nightbane Pg 33 Step 1: The Eight Attributes & Attribute Bonuses Paragraph two (does not contain the second bonus d6)
Ninjas & Superspies Pg 8 Step 1: The Eight Attributes & Attribute Bonuses Paragraph two (does not contain the second bonus d6)
Splicers Pg 169 Step One: Determining the Eight Attributes & Attribute Bonuses subsection Exceptional right off the bat.
RUE Pg 279 Step One: The Eight Attributes subsection Exceptional right off the bat.
Robotech TSC Hard Cover Pg 139 Manga Pg 200 Step Two: The Eight Attributes subsection Exceptional right off the bat.

The +1d6/2d6 rule is very much in the rulebooks.

it was in reference to the Psionic ley line rule, the rule is +50% +100%...
Bursters had a more limited form of it..

What do you exactly mean?

I didn't see house rules in it.

look at every table, there are house rules here and there.

I don't see these house rules you speak of.

Forget it Juce, Rappanui has shown how antagonistic he is towards any rule that differs from the first printing of the first rulebook, so we need to stop feeding the Troll.

I have the Errata. Anything not on either - is a house rule.

So what rules are you calling house rules?

And what is it you are declaring as the criteria for calling a house rule?

Are you saying anything outside the rule book and Errata of your selection is a house rule, regardless of other books it may appear in?

Just off the top of my head, There was a Leyline modifier for psionics of +1d6, 2d6.. This is actually not stated anywhere, And it only shows up in the description of Burster powers. It's not reiterated anywere else.
There were other such modifiers in each table that are Just plain old house rules, with no pages to back them up.

I have read the document, and I have read multiple books, every rule is backed up by what I have read. Your insistence that it is not in the books, but rather are house rules, combined with you inability to provide any specific examples leads me to believe your claims are inaccurate mistakes at best, and I will not state what they are at worst.

As to your (multiple) assertions that the power increase on or near Ley Lines and Nexus Points are house rules and not stated anywhere, might I direct you to page 366 of the RUE. Second Column, item #5, near the bottom, entitled 'I.S.P. boost at ley lines', where it details drawing ISP from ley lines, and an increase in the potency of psychic powers both near and on ley lines or nexus points.

These are official rules, clearly stated, and not 'house-rules'.
As an FYI, there is similar text under the Mind Melter in the RUE and several classes in Psyscape, not just the Burster.

So as you can see, there are pages to back them up, and they are not, as you have stated multiple times, 'plain old house rules'.

I just gave a specific example, The power increase for psionic powers <b>was</b> 50 and 100%. In the rewrite of the burster, the flame aura is given +1D6, +2d6, .. The GM shield writer decided that this a power mod that applied to all psionic powers.
There are other instances of this happening Through out the screen.

Incorrect, it DOES apply to every psionic power, as stated on page 366 of the Rifts: Ultimate Edition.
Also, specifically related to damage it adds One Die or Two Dice to damage, they could be D4s, or D6s, or D8s, or what have you. Again, this applies to all powers, as per page 366 of the Rifts: Ultimate Edition.
The writer of the GM Shield did not decide this, it is stated, in black and white, as an official rule, not a house rule.

So your cited example is invalid. Please cite another.

I was going to answer this especific example, but you already do it. Thanks for the clarification.

What it is in the GM shield is a mix between RBM and RUE where the last didn't covered that specific rule, such as those from leaping (IIRC).

wow. So It does say so on page 366.

its not super important but in the bottom left corner where it has the perception check stuff there is some spelling errors.
I know im not the one that should be bringing spelling errors up but yeah loudy is not a word and supernatrual and scientific are wrong in there. at least in english version it is.

Thanks!

no problem , it does have some usefull info though fo sure.

Sweet ... looks great

Hey Mobutto. Have you considered making a screen for Palladium Fantasy?

Can you release one with English measurements instead of metric? Or send me an editable version so I can change it myself? I love your screen, but I might end up having to make my own with feet and miles and pounds in it.

You know I was so excited that I didn't realize that it was metric. So I am with MasterVeratul, would you please make it standard too?

I'm with these guys. I didn't realize it was in Metric. Glad I haven't printed it yet. LOL! If you can make one with English measurements, I'd like that as well.

Glad you all like it!

I'm afraid I can't do it in English units as my computer with the indesign files is not with me by now, and this situation will last some quite time. Sorry!

I'm busy preparing for my wedding, but when I get some spare time I'll start working on making an English measurement version of this and posting it when completed, if that's okay with mobuttu.

it would be fantastic if you did.

Please, go fo it!

PS. Congrats for your wedding, BTW!
