*Nod*
Glad to see the 'sparks' still flying on this thread.

I've slowed down somewhat on the whole "UNcivil war" aspect of my campaign as the PC's are dealing with a much larger and problematic situation. Cormal and her 'children' in the 3G, and back on Terra, Hell-Lord Fury.

DhAkael

Merci beaucoup, mon amie. Joyuex Noel!

Better hurry; KS is spit-canning the Rifter in a couple of issues due to "reasons". *shrug* whatever... Hopefully you can get something published before that 'legal' fan-fic avenue is closed. And don't even try FanFic.net otherwise he'll sick his rabid mid-priced lawyers after you...

Horrible thought: we've had some gag Shemarrian stuff like the Brightmare and the Bunnibopper, and both the Lolis and the Nightmares have mean senses of humor, but I don't think we've dared dip into what happens if the Wayfinders convert a Ludicrous Mage into their ranks.... Interesting idea.. whic...

Will. Not. Engage. Troll.
Must stop... Talking. Like Shatner.

*Shrug* It's really not an issue. Any "GOOD" GM should be able to balance new stuff with olde without either themselves OR the players whining, without having to do too many blanket BANS on books. South America 2 and Spirit West are the only two I outright shove under a rock and then set o...

The number of settlers isn't a problem, truthfully as written in the book there aren't enough to even be that interesting. If you increase the number of settlements to include the Jovian and Saturn systems as well as Mars and the Belt and you can vast isolated areas that would fit the idea of Rifts...

Just sub in the stuff from Eclipse Phase so that the earth blockade makes sense. And you also get a bunch of badass Golden Age bio and cyber stuff. Well there are probably easier way: the blockade is a actually a natural phenomena that is difficult to navigate and the orbitals just then have to cov...

You all DO realize, yes, that BOTH systems here are theoretical at best and pure handwavium fiction at the end of the day? Who cares. If you are a GM, you can say "yeah... this exists and given projections of technology you can do that ." Period. Full stop. What's the problem / need to deb...

DhAkael

Sadly; only two options.
1) KILL IT WITH FIRE!
2) See number 1.
The lesson boys & girls? Don't give over a story to someone ELSE to GM; it will only end it tears (and fire).

Loving the new additions to caste / frame types and NPC's. Sorry for being quiet, but... -sigh- my campaign has taken off like a rocket and most of my creative energies are dedicated to that. Tal? gimme a ping when you post the Blacksteel Wargoddess; it will fit in nicely with the next chapter arc I...

Technically; two of the players in my campaign who have been with me since like... 2006, 2007 (?) have managed to accrue enough experience to actually reach level 17 (using the ExP progression), but since I do allow for multi-classing they only have about level 11 as the maximum. Also, one of the ch...

anyways, it's pretty much super inconsistent. if you want it to happen, have it happen. both sides have pretty much arbitrary numbers and capabilities that change from paragraph to paragraph, more or less.

Heck, even a decent Rifter article with better conversions to Rifts from Aliens Unlimited: Galaxy Guide ship-building rules set. sorry, but the "guidelines" from the 'Fleets' book was a wet [cesnored] which was helpful to no one.

To re-iterate (and no offense to Gleba..love his work for the most part); this thing about Atlanteans unable to cross-breed with "normal" humans? I call big mountain high steaming loads of bovine-fecal-matter. I refuse that retconing garbage pile like I do the whole WULFEN vs. Wolfen thing...

Never had an issue on any of the points given *shrug*. In fact said points have been major plot points and added to the game's flavour and depth. I see no reason to complain about or fix this power.

Vampire Kingdoms (1st. edition): due to the fact it had maps, world building and good & bad npcs galore. If one were to do JUST a upper South America / Mexico / New Mexico campiagn, this book is pretty much all you need for months of gaming. Atlantis: for a taste of the exotic, alien and super-...

Okay; the game crew want to return to Terra, despite the fact the Minion war has erupted across the Tri-Gal cluster. To be fair though; Nerys Nightsunder did greatly assist in the liberation (in force) of Center's spacedocks. So to repay the debt, it is time, once and for all, to find Sector Sigma-7...

A small slice-of-time in the opening hours of the Siege of Center Dire situation in landing-bay 13-B in Center (Phaseworld), greater demons and hell-artilery abounded.

Can't use this presently (what with the whole 'Siege of center' ala the Minion Wars Dimensional Outbreak), but it has filled my skeevy mind with many "wonderful things to see" for my players later on.

Another mcguffin might be that certain aspects of the Glitterboy design inadvertently actually IMPROVED the performance of the Glitterboy post-Comng of the Rifts.

One of the least crazy ideas I've seen for the GB / CG corps.

Kevin 'George Lucas's twin brother' Siembiada is known for the retconium poisoning and not-paying-attention-to-own-work-itis.
This is why GM's of any palladium game tend to have strong stomachs and the patience of saints.
