This also assumes that Rift is still even out when this theoretical Palladium MMO arrived. MMO development is a loooooong term project, as I'm sure we can all imagine. Bigger games have come and gone in the time frame we'd be talking about here. Worrying that the name would be a problem isn't even o...

Well, the other side is existence. I'd take single piece figures next year over multi-part figures that won't arrive for 2-5 (if at all). There's a spectrum, of course. If single pieces would take 12 months and 5'ish piece ones could be done in 15-18, sure. But they need to actually reach the market...

Forar

I don't see how that's hurting Palladium Rifts. I believe Rift is a purely fantasy setting. The notion of 'tears/portals in space leading to crazy stuff' is all over the place (or we'd better lay into all those Stargate series). Obviously they'd just name it Rifts: Adventures in Time and Space or wh...

A single player narrative RPG experience is also something more easily controlled. Making it an MMO involves not just piles of content, but adjusting that content with an expectation of multiple players. Rifts already did a video game, and I believe I recall hearing it was reasonably well received, ...

Forar

Agreed, Morgan. The saying about being able to please some of the people, etc, is very true here. With over 5k backers and who knows how many non-backers who have bought RRT globally, there is *zero* chance of being able to please 'all of the people all of the time'. A change in materials will cause...

@Shark_Force: *pours one out for City of Heroes*

It wasn't in WoW's league, but it was fun enough, Task Forces were crazy, and it had both wonderfully diverse powers and an absurdly good character generator.

Forar

No. "Can" it be done? Sure. We could have people begging for tanks and healers for the Prossek raid in search of phat epic loots like any other WoW cookie cutter ripoff. Would it remotely carry the flavour of Rifts? Should it be done? Probably not. It's an immense amount of work, time, mon...

Just before the release of Suicide Squad, in which a plucky band of antagonists are called upon to do the right thing, or the government will have their heads.

Plot hooks aplenty!

Forar

As a point of order, they haven't done anything but say that it's being worked on. RRT is also being worked on, and nearly 38 months later let me tell you how comforting it is to hear that something is 'being worked on'. And poking fun aside, they are the ones who bought up how long it took. If this...

I... shouldn't this have been something sorted out before the campaign went live? During those 6 years of negotiations? Yeah... how dare they over look this one thing among the hundreds of legalities involved in bringing Rifts to another system officially... [/sarcasm] And what was that rudeness in...

I can't speak for PB, but they've had plenty of people speak of visits here, and it's not exactly an uncommon mention in the weekly update.

Agreed on calling ahead, but assuming they aren't too busy with writing and RRT (

), I'd hope they'd be able to meet up with you while you're in the area.

I think it's already being pushed back, someone in the comments was saying that the estimate for pdf delivery had gone from 1 month to 2.

Forar

To be fair, it being a '1d6x100+20 per level' word count for a given section can really add up as the topics of a given book go by.

Forar

Uhhh, Alpha? Going here , at a cursory glance I'm seeing a pile of pdfs that are at roughly half price, at least by comparing MSRP to what is being charged. A lesser discount compared to what some local shops and Amazon charge for a few of the physical books I've looked up, but it seems like a reaso...

Yeah, 300k is all but locked in, with them at 280 as of this morning.

I can even see the tail end pushing up to 400/500k or a bit beyond. Which is great.

Forar

Although most kick starter activity tends to happen at the start for the first few days and then the last 2-3 days as a lot of folks wait to see if it is funded then wait for all the stretch goals to appear before they pounce. I'm aware of this. It was pointed at the folks who were looking at the K...

Forar

And as of this morning they're over $260K so only 39K more needed in 13 days to get the expanded Players Guide. And then 700k more to make it the second PB (adjacent) 1m+ campaign! >.> Seriously though folks, this is (most likely) why you don't trust 1st day Kicktraq estimates. Demand in the first ...

Let us nip this speculation in the bud now shall we? Sean Patrick Fannon has been very open in his interviews on the fact that this PB/PEG deal has been in the works for over six years. Mind linking to one of the interviews that state this? Due to the campaign going on currently, Google searches ar...

Will this help Palladium? Yes. As per the OP's title, how much will it help? Only time will tell. Without knowing the details of the contract (which obviously neither side is likely to hand over to the internet at large), we have no way of knowing what percentages are being exchanged, how extensive ...

Wow...says the PDF's will be out in June. 98% done!! ahem... Too soon! Too soon! In now, over 1000 backers, over 130K. This could be Palaldium's second straight 1M plus KS. Would it really be "Palladium's second 1M plus KS"? The PEG folks have been very clear that it's *their* show. It'd ...

So... any 2016 tournaments?

That thing still exists? I thought the creator had given up and moved onto making his own game?

Well, there's always the relaunch coming!

but the only good solid way to get a hold of pb is calling or knocking on their front door. Note; this is a good way to get ahold of one of them, but doesn't do squat for actual information. I've called the PB HQ twice now, had 30-45 minute chats with Chuck both times, who is a pleasant and underst...

Ages ago, a Blizzard representative commented on the number of their WoW userbase that came to the forums. I believe it was roughly 1 or 2% of a fairly ... enthusiastic (if not fanatical) group that actually visited with any regularity, and even less posted, and even less than that posted regularly....

Forar

According to this page, it's 6, though I believe Henry has sadly passed away, which would bring them down to 5, but isn't Chuck now counted fully as staff? So yeah, back up to 6, if that list is (mostly) accurate.

Edit: the profile for Henry does indeed note his passing.

Forar

Get well soon, Z.

Forar

Oh please, if by "conspiracy theories" you mean the "mystery deepens" style stuff, that was clearly said in a joking fashion. And yet here we are a month later; still no information on Wave 2, and apparently the biggest tournament for RRT ever didn't exist. So at least that's con...

Most con games count "player slots", aka a table of 6 players in a RPG is 6 player slots, but if that RPG had two sessions, there would 12 player slots even if the same 6 people played in both sessions. That may be how things are organized behind the scenes, but when Gencon says they have...

Forar

It has been pointed out to me that the deadline for Gencon submissions is actually mid March, so if someone wants to, they can still totally commit to running an RRT tournament. Seems the sliding deadline was similar to the Grab Bag deadline; they say it's coming to an end repeatedly, but it has act...

Wouldn't it basically append "this unit generates one less CP" to the option? Aside from 'leader' level units, VT's generate 1 CP per turn, so if they're burning them for maneuverability (very strong, mind you), they won't have them for evading (less necessary if they're not in range to ge...

The Core box has a set of introductory battles that grow in size over their course, and I believe are limited to the figures found within the box (plus terrain of course), so that seems like a safe bet. From there you'd have some of everything except for an Artillery Pod set (or two) and a Phalanx/S...

If it isn't trolling, it's a hell of a coincidence. Aside from one or two discrepancies, it's basically a full rundown on what is missing.

Not an accusation, of course, just an observation.

That said, I am entirely on board with wanting to know the status of Wave Two.

Right now I just wish that they had kept their promise and gave us that new update within a week like they said they would. Too much to ask for I guess. Agreed.

Incentives to work for demo teams doesn't necessarily mean being 'paid'. Wyrd has a similar system where community members can check in with their hours demo'ing at stores and running leagues/tournaments and get credit, which can then be 'spent' on product from their web store. Many of these "H...
