You should probably make a seperate category for Entertainment guilds; - The Actors' Guild - Jesters' Guild - Guild of Jugglers and Knife Throwers - Guild of Kleintro - Guild of the Mime - Minstrels' Guild - Prestidigitators, Inc - Guild of Stage Magicians - United Guild of Acrobats and Tumblers, In...

I have no knowledge of the Rifter article, but I'm referring to the Guild of Kleintro on page 15 of Adventures on the High Seas. All clowns are members of the guild. Clowns who operate outside the guild are killed with no mercy. They use mismatched gloves and tattoos to identify each other. It is th...

Where is the clown guild from Adventures on the High Seas? They should probably be added to your Assassins Guild list.

Everyone is level 1, unless they are noteworthy for some reason.

I go by the belief that Player-Characters and important NPCs are the exception, while most everyone else is the rule.

2nd Edition monsters tend to have higher HP and be overall more powerful in attacks and so forth. Also, 2nd edition used SDC. I think 2nd edition combat has more attacks per round too, but I may be mistaken. Short answer: you're going to need to do some converting. Fortunately, a lot of monsters are...

everloss

We always did it the same way, too; HP healing = MDC healing. However, if SDC was listed, we ignored that for the conversion.

The color art is nice but it adds both time and cost palladium has done a good job keeping the price of even big supplements to super reasonable levels. A lot of full color RPG books are either smaller format such as many of the savage world books or 30-40 bucks per book almost everybody else. I ra...

It sounds like the GM was unable to let go of their predisposition on the fate of the NPC in question. It is a common failure, especially with inexperienced or inept GMs (not saying yours is either of those). Instead of allowing the player to do their thing, have fun, and deal with the problem in th...

I have the original FoM and have never had the opportunity to look through the newer version. I know they took out the new spells, so what did they replace them with? Another FoM book would be nice, since the FoM is the archenemy of the Coalition, yet we know very little about it, even with the FoM ...

The loot is designed to further any plot. The Ultimax deathstone isn't just a cool thing you sell in town. Neither is Deathkiss or the other sword with the doubling die. Those are plot devices. Rune weapons are described as being objects kings renounce kingdom's to own. The Ultimax is something no o...

My only gimmick character was a Crazy who wasn't wearing armor. I didn't specifically point out this fact until he was shot and killed in the first combat. Mission accomplished. Nice.

Did Ultimate Edition come out after Conversion Book 1? I'm pretty sure it did, as I bought CB1 back in the mid-90s.

If Ultimate Edition says the Boom Gun is incapable of firing bursts, then there is your canon answer.

New artwork, first and foremost.

the human centipede was/is one of my favorite monsters ever. So weird and twisted and gross.

That sounds pretty cool If I remember correctly, the tank in Tank Girl was kind of like a dog, in that it followed simple commands, came when she whistled, etc. You could easily say the tank has a simple artificial intelligence enabling it to follow some orders, but it can't really think or act on i...

This might be a case where I've been a GM for so long that I cant see through Player eyes like I used to, so I've asking for your thoughts. One of my players has created a character with an Aberrant alignment as he thinks its a "better person" alignment than the selfish ones (Anarchist in...

What's wrong? Palladium RPGs are rarely seen to be played at conventions or game days at FLGS.

That's easily e...

When I played in it using HU, I think it was put somewhere along the Gulf of Mexico. Just seems to fit in the South because of Diego Verde.

What about the named, unique demons fighting in the Great Rift in the Land of the Damned? They aren't considered demon lords, but are definitely greater demons, if not above them since they command them.

Keep the Burster and Crazy "special powers" and don't include any of the additional psionics. Skill-wise, I would go with the Crazy, since the character was turned into a Crazy at a young age.

everloss

Sounds like your original character was the product of a LOT of GM handwaving. Best thing I can think of is do like the other person said; make a Burster and add implants from Mindwerks. If there IS some chance that your concept can be made via the actual rules, that's the best bet. To attempt to ba...

How do you envision the Land of the South Winds? I've always envisioned it sort of like a tropical version of the Holy Roman Empire; hundreds, if not thousands, of tiny kingdoms and fiefs.

What I don't understand is that we've already had Byzantium described in Adventures on the High Seas, so why make a book nobody really wants, when you could publish books people actually do want (and will throw money at you for)?

I always thought of Lokum as an Ariel, but after going through Dragons and Gods and Old Ones, I can't find any reason for that assumption. Since saying his name in Old Ones brings a cohort of Cherubs, I am forced to assume he is a cherub. Which is kind of cool, actually.
