Sorry, you would take the image and repost it to Twitter or FB, and however many "likes" it gets, you answer the same amount of questions. It's the same for the DnD edition that's making it's rounds on Twitter.

You guys may have seen the Dungeons and Dragons "1 Like = 1 Answer" meme going around on Twitter or FB. Well I've borrowed and altered it to fit the Rifts RPG! If anyone's interested, here's the image on my drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zwB61HoCl-ANXG15wZcltJYb3dNNNGl6

I like them, good job! I've got a few adventure ideas I had scribbled out for a full pirate crew write up I did. They're all based around that, but could essentially be prodded and toggled to suit several group and campaign types. Mine are a bit short comparatively, just basic adventure ideas Possib...

I try to keep everyone onthe same page as far as power level, but that could be the difference between a character with a lot of specialized skills and a character that can throw a tank. When starting a new campaign, DM always gets final say, and when I DM I like to ask people what kind of character...

This looks awesome! Great job so far!

I've seen posts that touch on this topic, but the closest I've come is "GM Binder": http://palladium-megaverse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=124133 So here's my question, what do you use to aid in your role playing experience or campaign running? Dice, pencils, paper, sure.But are th...

I am a proud member of the Order of the d30: "d30 Rule: Once per game session, a player may choose to roll a d30 instead of any normal dice roll. This cannot be used for any purpose during character creation or for hit point rolls." This is often called "supercharging" a roll, a...

Oh yeah. Even then, with adequate tweaking and GM approval/involvement I'd say anything is possible. Probable? Perhaps not, but definitely within the bounds of a sci-fi or fantasy realm ;)

There's a post started on the GM's forum about this...kinda. Yeah, I started that one. But it kinda went sour/debate-y *sigh* Still, I think more users browse the Rifts forum than GMs like me :P It would be nice to get some more input onRifts-specific house rules anyhow. I can repost mine here late...

Ooh, I had made a Mastodonoid Fire/Water Elemental Fusionist before! Yes, the RUE says only Humans can be EF, but the Mastodonoid entry in D-Bees of North America lists it as a possible OCC. Playing the tribal, spiritual race really meshed with the Elemental Fusionist, and the fire/water combo worke...

"We are doing it Diceless in this game" My opinion this is The Most Stupid house rule ever created. Oh man...and trying to show players who have only ever played dice less games how to play on a d20/other system is the worst. Yeah, one of my best friends 'just can't get into Rifts because...

Mine: 1. My personal house rules as GM: C. MDC is x10 not x100. This applies to PCs, NPCs and all monsters. 2.How they came to be: C. It just makes things easier on the GM/PCs. You do realize that your point C here creates a situation that becomes incredibly abusive, right? I mean, I understand the...

Mine: 1. My personal house rules as GM: A. When rolling characters, 1 is a reroll (any subsequent 1 from that reroll is kept) and 6 is an extra roll (with any subsequent 6 being added to the original, and any 1 occurring after the initial 6 is kept.) B. GM has the right to fudge rolls in the party's...

You see them mentioned in the forums quite frequently, but they are often vague and unexplained. House rules, everybody's got'em. They can be as simple as 'everyone starts with $$$ for gear selection' to as complex as 'if you fail high/low percent you can guess exact percent for a success'. So; 1. W...

Congrats! That's quite the feat on Obsidian Portal

My two favourites; Grackletooth Headhunter - his whole left side was cybernetic from an accident in a local war. He was a demolitions expert. I liked the combo because of the unique cybernetic opportunities and the stat boosts that fit his character type (rowdy, loud, friendly gun-nut) but pmostly ...

The lemming should be on the list as well. The one that never steps up to the plate, never proposes ideas, never says "hey guys, let's go do this", simply has his character following the other characters. I've got three of them. It's so bad that I've already had to intervene once when a g...

I don't blame the game, I blame the players that championed it to the exclusion of everything else. I would open my mouth about looking for a 4E group and get nothing but diatribes about how "4th Edition sucks, you can't do anything with it, you need to play Pathfinder". Pathfinder player...

I didnt see "stoner guy" on your list. You know, the one player that ALWAYS has his/her character looking to score drugs and alcohol, sometimes at the cost of crucial plot time, even if they didn't roll Addiction s for any insanities! I had 2 of them in every party for 2 years. It really s...

West coast of NA.

I.e., the Barrier Wall, Ruins of Las Vegas, untamed California-Oregon-Washington

Great suggestions guys! Thanks so much, I'll check em out!

Husband ran in the room to tell me that everyone in the house was in agreement that I should be the current DM. While flattering (they apparently really enjoyed my last campaign), we have a 6 week old Daughter who takes up most of my time, so instead of browsing through all my books (and I own ALL o...

Usually, I end up playing D-bees. I've got an immense love for the sheer diversity provided with the collection of magical, psionic, supernatural or otherworldly characters. Typically, I find my characters' either despise the CS or recognize the good for humankind/North America which they provide bu...

1. My first character was a female, Malamute, feral-born Dog-Boy called Cinder (she had the mutation abnormality of a unique fur color, and so I picked a rust-red.) She had a particular fondness for mechanics and used a gigantic wrench as a weapon (this thing had to be at least 3 foot long.) 2. This...

The biggest complaint I have about this book is the same I've had before. That is that you never include enough storyline behind many of your races. I'm looking at the book right now and the first entry, the Aarden-Tek. There's just not enough to the entry. You talk about how they're wide-eyed dime...

"Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

It was the inspiration for my first time as a Dungeon Master.
