the new weekly update has a pencil drawing for the new Chaos Earth book! Looks pretty sick.
The interior will be even sicker. If you like zombies or Chaos Earth or bleak horror or high drama this is the one you NEED. YOU NEED IT.

Excited to see Chaos Earth getting its love.

Ran a Chaos Earth game last weekend and mixed in Dead Reign. It was super fun. Mixing the two books (DR and CE) works nicely.

Looking forward to this book.

thanks! i wrote most of it before Dead Reign was around and after reading it I made sure not to cover any of the same ground. They'll be sufficiently different that you'll need both!

We did this as well a few years ago, and absolutely loved it. I can't wait to see this come out- especially if it has more detail to add to the world at that time. I hope to see the setting "Fleshed out". (ahhh ahhh.. fleshhhhhhh)

Speaking of head shots.....and Zombies.

In the DR/CE game we are playing, several of the player characters (non military average citizens in the game) picked up rifles and shot down a long hallway at zombies. The players all said, "I'm doing a Head Shot"!

They are used to playing Rifts so when I told them what they had to roll to hit everyone was, "What! Why?"

In real life, in our 10 person game group, I am the only one who is prior military and still uses guns at work.

I planned a day to take them to the Range to let them shot a rifle at a target head.
I expect it will be fun. Head shots are hard --- unless you are a Rifts character with +6 or +12 to strike

truth.

Posted: **Thu Apr 23, 2015 3:47 pm**

Except dead reign requires it to be both a called shot as normal.. but also only a nat17-20 hits. Which takes headshots to 'darn near impossible' even for a rifts char..

Posted: **Mon Apr 27, 2015 8:47 pm**

That's a 1 in 5 chance of hitting, not near impossible, just inconvenient, and utterly disregarding the benefit of skill or technology in making a shot.

Posted: **Tue Apr 28, 2015 7:51 pm**

LIKE THE COVER BUT WANT TO SEE IN OWN HAND S

20% chance to make a Head Shot is crazy !!!

Arent head shots on DR zombies "natural roll 17-20" only?

Posted: **Tue Jul 28, 2015 9:12 pm**

The only advantage in this combination setting, is that point blank damage rules will help drop some zombies in a non-lethal way.

Posted: **Tue Jul 28, 2015 9:45 pm**

Now what about critical hits??

If I say head shot, roll a crit, um I hit correct?

Posted: **Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:46 pm**

By dead reign rules, if you try to head shot a zombie, you have to roll a natural 17-20.

Posted: **Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:52 pm**

So dealing 1200mega damage would have no effect??
Or area attacks dealing 600-700 md wouldn't work either??
Sorry man, a zombie isn't tougher than a splugorth. Lol

Posted: **Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:55 pm**

Zombie have AR again MD weapons, so yes you could hit for 1200 MD and not drop the zombie.

Posted: **Tue Jul 28, 2015 11:05 pm**

I crit on a 12 roll, um since the beginning of ar bonuses to strike apply.
And common sense would dictate 1200md in one hit kills most things.
Squished or pulped 1200md isn't a but the book says this type of thing.
Also supernatural creatures damage other supernatural creatures.
A dragon could easily kill a zombie.
A dragon could eadily kill a hundred zombies.

Posted: **Tue Jul 28, 2015 11:26 pm**

For DR zombies, head shots get no bonuses.

If your 1200 MD took of an arm, WHOOPIE, the zombie is still there. If it hit the torso, than thats one nice hole you just made through the zombie. Against other supernatural creatures they still get AR 14 (or 15 cant remember which) and the zombie are MD monsters with supernatural strength dont forget.

Posted: **Tue Jul 28, 2015 11:42 pm**

A few hundred mdc at most. Most likely less.
The unkillableness of dr zombies is hype and bad editing.
And a Glitterboy putting 3D6x10md into a zombie would vaporize it.
Maybe a piece or two twitching, maybe.

Posted: **Tue Jul 28, 2015 11:52 pm**

IF the round hit above the AR, dont forget that.

Posted: **Wed Jul 29, 2015 6:19 pm**

Waiting eagerly for this book, I love this setting.

Posted: **Thu Jul 30, 2015 4:15 pm**

Having just read the DR head shot rules... they are rather inconsistent, yes in one spot it says natural rolls only. In others you get range bonus, get to add skill and pp bonus. Here is the thing most get wrong. For palladium modern weapon rules, you don't add h2h bonuses. The only bonus you get is from W.P., P.P. , and skills that specifically boost to hit rolls for modern range weapons. So if your human average P.P. bonus is +0, and max bonus for a level 15 character is +7 when shooting +9 or +11 if sniping is used on called/aimed shots. While a level 15 sword master is at +9. Thing is called shots take 2 actions, and a aimed called shot takes 3 actions. That master swordsman gets his +9 all times.

Posted: **Thu Jul 30, 2015 4:24 pm**

actually PP bonuses do not apply to modern ranged weapons. just ancient ones like bows, crossbows, and thrown daggers/darts/etc.

SittingBull wrote:Zombie have AR again MD weapons

I got a sense that natural ARs in SDC settings don't apply when a being is MDC-converted to other settings, something about MD always bypassing natural ARs. Only traditional coverage-based ARs were kept, not natural ones, I had thought.

I love the idea of keeping natural AR intact in all cases as a house rule though.

Posted: **Thu Sep 03, 2015 3:43 pm**

none of those rules have anything to do with Chaos Earth.
There's no AR. CE zombies are MDC creatures.
Unless it gets changed in editing, none of the Dead Reign rules are applied to Chaos Earth.
It's an entirely different game with entirely different zombies and entirely different rules for those zombies.

Then they will be nothing but a cute feature of the landscape.

Posted: **Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:58 pm**

I gm mdc zombies as sdc deals classic zombie no damage, just messes up the cosmetics.

Mdc attacks deal damage but the zombies fight until -50mdc and don't die until -100mdc.

So -50mdc blows them apart, twitching pieces, biting head etc, -100mdc the twitchy parts are vaporized.

I like the Return of the Living Dead zombies, unkillableness and intelligent the best.
But md weapons are like a hundred times more powerful than current weapons so they damage them.

Posted: **Tue Sep 08, 2015 9:47 am**

Just nice to see Chaos Earth getting some love finally.

Posted: **Tue Sep 08, 2015 10:33 pm**

I can't wait to see ANY new Chaos Earth book. I can buy a MDC laser punching a neat hole in a zombie, but Plasma, or a railgun should do some major damage. If a baseball bat to the head kills it then a MDC explosion or any area effect weapon should as well.

Posted: **Sun Sep 20, 2015 7:59 pm**

Do we know for sure that Nxla didn't get summoned to Earth by Harvesters in Chaos Earth?

Obv. if that happened Psyscape sent him back... but maybe he only managed Harvesters/Xombies but not an actual foothold?

Would like to see multiple undead parties competing in Resurrection. Nxla's Xombies, Brulyx's Dead Reign, Death Demons, Strigoi's Plague Zombies... missing anything?

Posted: **Sun Sep 20, 2015 8:19 pm**

I hope so, the Nxla and Psyscape angle is one of the things that drew me to the setting, i cant wait to see what happens to D Shifters or when Atlantis first appears then the splugorth etc.

Posted: **Fri Oct 23, 2015 8:17 pm**

At first I was actually interested in seeing a new Chaos Earth supplement come out, but zombies? Really? I, mean, sure it could happen as Chaos Earth is a high magic environment and I'm sure there would be Necromancers, but a full on zombie plague? Nope, not buyin' it. And I mean that in both senses of the word, I'm not buying the book and I don't buy the story either.

I just read the teaser in RPG Now. Great stuff. You can count me in!

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 12:41 am**

I'm ok with horror, zombie or no.

But really, I think that's my favorite G-10 art yet t

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2015 11:34 am**

In the last weekly update it was mentioned that Chaos Earth Resurrection would be usable with Heroes Unlimited. Does anyone know if this means that there will be material in Chaos Earth Resurrection that deals with it being used with Heroes Unlimited or that it is just usable like most of Palladium's products are generally usable with each other?

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2015 3:12 pm**

I just purchased this book off of DTRPG, and I have to give credit when and where credit is due. I have not yet had a chance to read any of it.

But the artwork is awesome!

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2015 3:24 pm**

Bought it last night at Drive ThrouRPG also....

Only "flipped" through it, art is nice. Look forward to reading it.

Looks like a good book!

Zombies will be MD in Chaos Earth, I believe.

These zombies will be. The invocation zombies are still SDC which is what I think he was talking about.
