Hello,

I'm aware there are some Native American territories there. I think you could find information on them in Spirit West and Canada (maybe).

Take a look at my Tribal Wars map:

NPCs: -99.9% of the town’s people don’t know about the Orb of Solomon. -That leaves about a dozen people who have clues. -These people's clues often lead to one of the other 10. -Only a few know a fact about the Orb of Solomon. -The locals only trust and associate with each other. The player charac...

Great! Thank you all for your suggestions! As I want a military approach, I think I'll finally opt for a CS Special Forces (from BW11) with Intelligence skills. I want him to be transformed into a Secondary Vampire (Hero Vampire from WB1 revised), so cybernetics are off. Wouldn't this be easily pic...

Adventure idea in SoT1. Has anyone run it? Any tips/advises to run it? :? I'm not that interested in the consequences of the Orb, but on how to run the adventure. I'm planning the PC party (loosely aligned with Tolkeen through Mercenary assignments) to arrive at Solomon and I need assistance on how ...

Hello, and welcome to the forums. Eventhough it's a great PC idea, as a GM, I wouldn't allow that because it breaks the no-spells-from-insite rule. Besides, if I get it properly I would say that you design and mount several TW devices on the ATV to replicate the spells that the TW can cast. Hope thi...

All in all, I think that's a key component of the Palladium system. Movement and accion are done together. So if you attack while on the move, you should have attack penalties to hit.

I like this double-agent idea!!! CS Specialist or Commando maybe?

mobuttu

Wow!! I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!! Hahaha! You are right, though. So, here you are my thoughts on it: Adventure is placed at the start of Coalition Wars ar the border between CS and Tolkeen Baronies. The NPC spy is tasked by Tolkeen to scout and infiltrate CS Divisions in order to know ...

mobuttu

Hi,

I need a NPC to be a Tolkeenite spy on CS during Coalition Wars.

Bearing in mind CS has many forms of magic/psionic detection speacilly through Dog Doys, witch OCC would best suit this role?

Thanks.

mobuttu

But as well it wouldn't be locked into those patterns. Different characters with the same amount of attacks might spread them out different (outside of those with 5 who would have no "spread out" options, so to speak). And a character could change the spread round to round, or at least th...

mobuttu

most of the groups i'm in have adopted the 'phases' system to address this.. the 15 second melee round is broken into 5 phases. in each phase, you can perform one attack/action, unless you have more than 5 attacks/actions, at which point you can do 2 per phase using up the extras. if for some reaso...

Please, keep me informed here for your final conclusions. I'm very interested. Thanks.

Summon Palladium Hive Mind. In WB27 AiDS pg. 77 there is this Lesser Temple Mound that needs to be reconstructed in order to archeive it's full potential. What do you think it's necessary to reconstruct it? I'm toying with the idea that the SteelTree plant spirit that the Cherokee Shamans in the Cam...

Going from here: https://palladiumbooks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=185237 How do you make stats relevant in game. Rules wise only low and high stats have mechanical implications. Do you ever roll dice to check for stats? What system do you use? Or you just use skill checks? I'm listeing.

I've been dealing with this multiple action/attacks house rule: 1) PC can spend 1 Mov action per turn. 2) PC can do 1 attack per action. 3) The rest of the attacks from H2H training, boxing, etc. cal be used for "reactions" such as rolling, parrying, aiming, activate Power Punch, etc. What...

Pick one: Brodkil, Gargoyles or Secondary Vampires.

at 1 hex = 24 miles, you basically end up with with 1 hex = roughly one day's travel. with perhaps it becoming 2 day's travel in the mountains. note that this assumes vehicles or some sort of mount suited to the terrain. if on foot you'd be looking at about 2 days per hex at best. That's right. I f...

So I see two possibilities here: 1) Mess with the Joseph Prosek I assassination attemp day in order to influence Karl, divert they attention from Magic Users or kill them both (Soseph I and Karl) to stop succesion.

And here you are Karl Prosek family tree excluding second cousins and unconfirmed gossip about his father affairs.

I dunno, just listening to what you think.

I was planning the PC to travel to K. Prosek childhood or maybe the same day his father was killed.

I'm currently planning a campaign where PC eventually will have the opportinuty to go back in time through the Ocmulgee Mount Complex (WB27 Adventures in Dinosaur Swamps) to meet (and maybe kill) Emperor Karl Prosek. 1) Can you help me choose at what time would it have the more impact on Karl Prosek...

Hi folks, I'm planning on running an Armageddon Unlimited campaign and I'd like to share my main plot ideas with you to get some feed-back from the Palladium Hive-mind.

Fine. Thank you very much.

I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for the clarification. So, that means that all PC have 10 skills maximum, don't they?

Thanks! Glad to hear it is used!

I still have several unread Rifts books (specially the latest ones), so a new update is something not be ruled out.

have them go through and find out that the Deamonix are actually at the very bottom of the food chain in their home dimension.

mobuttu

So, the party has reached a Rifts to the Deamonix aquatic dimension. One of the PC is a shifter, so they likely will want to pass through the rifts and explore that dimension. Any side-trek adventure ideas? I was thinking in a Lemurian faction in that dimension, maybe they are at war with the Daemon...

I had already considered the GB Transport of Free Quebec but it has too much flying capabilities for the kind of campaign I wanted. I want the PC to be grounded, as is not just a matter of deployment-mission-withdrawal. Although I don't reject the idea of using it for such types of missions. Thanks.

mobuttu

Oh Lord! This threat is boiling with good ideas! I have to compile them all in my Rifts blog to don't let them fade out!

I'm looking for an adventure vehicle for a party of 5-6 PC, whom one of them is a Glitterboy, so the vehicle should have a capacity for 5-6 crew (including pilot) and enough space to fit a GB armor.

I have recently though a minion/mock rule I call the Stormtrooper rule for my next CW campaign: 1) Give to the minion an AR depending on the type of armor worn. For instance, CS Soldiers would be AR15. 2) Should the hit beats that AR, the damage goes directly to the NPC's HP. 3) Should the hit rolls...

Juicers train then get Juiced. See Juicer Assassin. Ah yes, ok. That makes sense.
