The thing about Splicers is that it can take place on any world, so you might be fighting on Earth, Mars, Venus, where ever. Also, arguing for the computer, if you read the history you would recall that there are so many conflicting programs that in a way, made sense for those multiple personalities...

I'd say yes, they can exist, but usually I would just let them be what they are: printed and published material that may or may not inspire characters into being a superhero/heroine. It's true that most PCs want to be the Iron Man/Superman/Hulk types but the Palladium Megaverse isn't really built th...

Not a bad idea, I like the idea of a "dark superhero" theme, and looking at the rules closely, I think the Nightlords can easily affect, even defeat, heroes like Superman, though I would hesitate at allowing mega-heroes. Keep some vamps as NPCs and villains, though, because every Megaverse...

Hello. I also have gotten into the Nightbane game and I like what you have going, and I have one suggestion: Include one or two cities in the South that have no Nightlord presence whatsoever. The reason: A very unlikely but possible scenario: Vampires and Nightbane (most likely the BeNocturne factio...

Bars and/or jails can work but for places like Century Station, or another powerful organization could just simply hire the heroes in question (as per the VU supplement) and assign them to assist a given city or a sector of the city. That's been the most effective in my campaigns so far.

You may know this already, but for the long haul, you may want the PCs in your campaign to belong to a Faction, both for structure and adventure ops. Both have their ups and downs, but for beginning PCs, I'd go with the Underground Railroad for the first choice and the Resistance for the second, and...

One idea is to start with the villain, in this case, a Nightlord. Make him/her the big boss and come up with a plan for him/her, typically world domination. Then, I'd go about thinking of how he/she would do it. Have a few Avatars and a Night Prince for some variety, and use a low-level avatar for t...

I feel that the Coalition States ARE (unfortunately) the best in the continent (with the POSSIBLE exception of Free Quebec). They are not all evil, though, they are soldiers who have been given a lot of propaganda and unfortunately they believe it. As far as Tolkeen, I was disappointed that they all...

I myself have played an Evil Marvel Super Heroes campaign once. I did not betray my companions, Because we kept our minds set on our goal of world domination. We would have gotten that, too, but our "leader" betrayed us and we ended up fighting ALONGSIDE the hero-types to stop him in the e...

It's true that technology is a big advantage for humans in Rifts, but the main point is that humans are the underdogs of Rifts Earth. Humans have to not just survive, but they have to thrive. As far as I've seen, humans are the only creatures who will team up to defeat the common foe, as was proven ...

Ah, the fond memories. My mother bought us (my brother and me) our first adventure when I was but 10 years old. It was the AD&D adventure "Cult of the Reptile God". Since then we have DMed and played in Dungeons and Dragons. After a few years, my mom bought me my first Rifts book, Conv...

I think the Mechanoids would eventually win. They have proven to be quite adaptable in the beginning of their war against humanity and as my brother would say, supreior tech would always find a way to win.

I do have one question: Aside from the Mega-Hero, are there any othier restrictions on hero characters that one should know about? I have one I would like to use. Plus what is this city's tech level? Is it a major city or a suburb? If it has a population of over 700,000 I would say it's a major city...

perhaps something like this http://forums.palladium-megaverse.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=121767 would love for a chance to assist co-author on this. Also alot of people use the HU powers in a MDC environment. Perhaps it is time to add in stats for mdc environments for the powers in PU1, PU2, PU3 t...

I love the versatility in the system now, but maybe some more power types would not hurt. For example, Isaac from the Defenders was using a demonic gargoyle's body (and it was a true demon body; I remember one story that a third rate magician stumbled onto the body's true name and was able to make I...

"Each of you will receive the standard, substandard training which will result in your eventual derezzolution!" 'nuff said about the ignorant ILLITERATE yutz's trying to operate super-high-tech warmachines without being able to read or dooz teh matheez. Just because You're illiterate does...

Weeeell Merc=Gold. I am seriously contemplating running a Merc game in the near future, if the others in the group feel like playing it, and they better, or else I'm comin after them in my NG-11F Red Hawk. *edit* I've not actually run a Rifts game yet. I have run Palladium Fantasy, BTS1/2, and a bi...
