Rifter Submission Idea-Gods and Goddesses

Unread post by mwhowell2001 »

I was just on the phone with the PB order line when my mind started wandering as I thought about needing to reorder Pantheons of the Megaverse and the old Rifter swimsuit editions.

I am hoping somebody with more time on their hands than me will take this idea for Rifter and run with it. How about using Kevin and other staff members to make a Pantheon? Could do MDC stats for Rifts Earth and SDC stats for PFRPG.

What do you guys think?

The Palladium staff as gods and goddesses, statted for the Palladium system? Ugh, no thank you. Unique gods and goddesses never before seen and not based on real life people? I'd consider buying that.

Thanks for the feedback. Normally I use my own gods for a game too. My thought was that the staff are people who are responsible for the creation of a Megaverse...sounds like a god story to me. I was thinking it might be something fun to add into a game, it feels kind of parody-ish to me. I know it may not be an idea that peeks everybody's interest.

Greetings and Salutations. Not quite gods, but check out Heroes of the Megaverse. The Machine (true name Kevin Siembieda), The Ghoul Queen (Kathy), The Martian (Alex), The Open Fist (Julius), The Smith (Wayne), and the Wuj (Erick). Making them also into gods would be a continuity crash (in my opinion), but if you rather gods a few minor stat tweaks (mainly to MDC) could probably turn those "heroes" into a pantheon without much effort. Hope that helps. Farewell and safe journeys.

I will check it out. I'm glad you brought that to my attention. I'm looking at placing an order in a couple weeks and will add it to my list.

Palladium's staff as fantasy gods in skimpy swimsuits? Sounds awesome!

Lol, words cannot describe the swarm of mental images that came to me after reading that.
