Hello... UPDATE! The Rifter® #71 & 72 Double-Issue – 224 pages – Fall 2015 Look forward to it. I am looking forward to it too. Hmm... it looks like at a minimum there will be material from Dead Reign , Palladium Fantasy , Splicers , and the ubiquitous Rifts . 1 Looking forward to it indeed! Wha...

I have made my point and I appreciate the deeper perspective you all are willing to provide. I am not for the method of complaining on these boards. My experience tells me that it is pointless to ask questions of the PB staff-here if you are seeking any answers. I just felt obligated to chime in. I’...

Lori

My personal opinion on the matter is that passive complaining is sort of pointless... Not because of the complaint (which may or may not have validity) but just that nothing will come of it. In other words you're wasting you're own time. As I said Palladium won't respond on here. To horribly misquo...

Lori. I am a UK rsident and being asked to call the US direct, when the cheaper and easier medium of the "Interweb" is available should not be necessary. However, this is not just for me, we were promised better communication in the geat epic update months ago. A specific promise was made...

Lori

You could always call the offices.

Lori

That's a good question.

Sean probably knows if he's willing to disclose it. You might PM him and ask. I think he started a handle on here (I thought so anyway).

To many to name. This is pretty close.

Lori

I realize that.

And I'm critical of Palladium as well...

Having a saving throw for something which no rules/situations will apply to said saving throw is a mistake.

Lori

I think its a very nice sheet.

I'll have to pull out my DR mainbook. Magic & Psionic Saving Throws?

I thought there was neither in Dead Reign.

Lori

Gotcha What do you think about the idea of combining the two issues? I'd miss having two cool color covers If the two issues were combined, do you recall the full color Palladium Catalogue? It would be cool to see a full color Rifter. Every piece of art in color ect. That would be cool IMO. Full co...

Lori

I don't have any complaints about game vs. advertising material. More game material-less ads is never a bad thing, and I understand what the OP is saying Though if I could wave my magic wand... I would like to see more fanzine like stuff. As it is I see a lot of "Official" stuff-which is g...

Would be helpful to us writers, let us know the kinds of things to shoot for or avoid.

Right, Agree, articulating specifics are good.

Lori

Rolling a Natural 20 (instead of damage etc) awards the player an additional action to distribute within the round.
Rolling a Natural 1 removes an action, within the round.

Yes, very curious as well.

I'm not familiar with any sort of magic crafting with SW.

Lori

I wonder if they will be pushing new material or just reprinting existing world books converted to their system? Both i would imagine. They are going to have to at least touch on the iconic classes from RUE. Greetings and Salutations. Well, in the April 19th update it said Rifts Earth (guessing...

Lori

Reads better than the actual novels that were published.

Though, that's probably not a fair comparison.

Good Works-Josh.

Lori

Good Question. Probably one of the better ones-this forum has had in some time. Honor is in higher regard with this particular character and the real question: Whether honor is, or could be considered a virtue that rivals good? We can design ideas around this concept in specific happenings (such as ...

Lori

Well coming up on a year after my submission and I have yet to hear anything. Even sent a second copy via email with no response. I think it might be time for me to move on from Palladium Books/Rifter submission work given their level of "service". To quote Douglas Adams "So long, an...

Lori

I know these are probably basic but: 1. Electronic Submissions. Due to various reasons, snail mail submissions are problematic for me. While the info section mentions electronic submissions, it seems a little thin. 2. I know that the response time can be long, so I am considering also sending my wo...

Enjoy!
