The Shifter spell Bar Portal is a great way to block a rift that has already been opened. Also any true Atlantean can control a pyramid. When two people try to control a pyramid to open a rift or prevent a rift from opening a battle of wills decides where or if the rift opens.

Just a few things our player group has done: - Massively increased the number of psychic powers available in each category. Some have prerequisites and some are considered "Legendary" powers that work much like spells of legend. - Used psychic powers from other Palladium games. (The Pallad...

One of my characters is currently using a rune weapon I created with my GM The character is a Warborn of miscreant alignment, which is a bit overpowered and evil for the campaign, but the rune sword he uses is of Principled alignment, contains a will of it's own and after centuries of working with t...

"What are you, some type of mixed up ninja on steroids? Pfft. I throw down my weapons to take him in hand to hand." - To the GM when faced with a Ninja Juicer right after buying Rifts: Japan. "Here doggie, doggie. Nice boy." - To the Dog boy guarding the captured PC's "What ...

I'm currently running a character that is a level 16 Human Ley Line Walker, the other player in the group is a level 14 Neohuman, right on the verge of level 15. I've had this same character for about 8 years now, and the Neohuman has been around for 6. In campaign terms, we've done the gathering of...

As a tradition, every adventure my group has run starts in a bar.

Also, starting in a bar is one of the reasons that EVERY character I have has a cross sewn in to his underwear.

I think the new CyberKnight is just as good as it ever was against everything else besides tech. In fact, just a week or so ago, a CK I was using just fought in lone combat against a Mystic Knight and whooped his ass in to next week. I've got a level8 CK, and it was an 11th level Mystic Knight. Thou...

What I usually do is take the optional personality roll and exaggerate it. If I roll for bossy and arrogant, the character becomes the ultimate poke. He is the boss of absolutely everyone and will not listen to any other opinion. If I roll for Lone wolf, he is exactly that, never wanting or asking f...

Here's the true story:

Kevin Seimbeida is going to finally reveal to the world that he really IS Steve Jackson, and the Megaversal Crossover will include all Palladium games meeting games like Munchkin, GURPS, CarWars and Star Munchkin!

Vonluckner's (Patented) Fusion Block transporter.

A modified laser pistol, the emitter replaced with a simple laser targeter, which teleports Fusion Blocks stored in a hip pouch containing a dimensional pocket to the target pinpointed by the laser beam.

A]] Where were you and what were you doing when you saw your first Rifts Book(s)??? Playing a Battletech/Mechwarrior campaign at a friend's house, and saw the Rifts RMB and a few others sitting next to the BT books. B]] Did you have to be coaxed (read: dragged kicking and screaming) into reading a B...

My favorite was a human Summoner with Phobia, Demons. He'd summon a demon, and be cowering in fear of it inside his circle. Once he realized that that one demon won't hurt him, he tended to get egotistical with it and go waaay overboard...

Juicer to cyborg conversion is easy. For one thing, the Juicer doesn't have to adjust to being a squishy. For another thing, if he won't need his damaged organs anyway (except for his brain). If he only gets partial reconstruction, they can still replace some of his damaged organs. The process can ...

I allowed a friend to use an RCC I made once, a Metaloid. Basically, a creature of entirely liquid metal, based (very) loosely on the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Well, the first incarnation of him was a bit too powerful, and when the group was captured, he escaped way too easily for my liking, but fum...

My favorite character is a Diabolic True Atlantean Shifter. He's got quite a lot of power, and a Greatest Rune Weapon whose major ability is a free will. The Rune Weapons alignment is Scrupulous good. And, he forces the Shifter to preform good acts as much as he hates to do it. Since none of the oth...

There's a few more classes that have come out of the woodwork that allow Commando now, such as the Warborn from Rifter #8. Now that's a force to be reckoned with.


Warborn with HTH Commando, Pilot Combat: Elite and a Silverhawk PA == 9 attack per melee at first level.

I guess you didn't check out the link to the Titan Juicer pix, typical.

They never learn, do they?

Look at dogs like the Jack Russel Terrier. They are just little balls of energy. Can run around at high speeds for 20 hours, sleep for three, eat for one, then back to more running.

Just in case anyone else was curious, I received a response from Wayne Breaux: The Rifter to me More options 2:09pm (6 hours ago) Hi James. Sorry this took so long.

I almost always use one of MADMANMIKE's awesomely spectacular character sheets:

I still haven't received a response from Wayne yet, I'll try resending the mail in another few days if still not reply.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't the Death Bringer usually a huge two handed weapon of pole arm? If that is the case, then how can you use it in conjuntion with a draining blade? I may have misinterpreted the statement, and you may not have intended them to be used as paired weapons. Is it possible to ha...

Okay, I sent off an email to Wayne, I'll post any response I get.

So I recently began playing in a new Rifts game this past weekend. Naturally my character started off with fairly standard equipment - a Vibro Sword and a Light Rail Gun. So we got our introductions taken care of and started on the game. Fairly quickly (just by talking to each other) we found out t...

I was reading through China 2, particularly, the Black Tiger Cannon caught my eye. Both the Rail Gun and Mini-Gun put out 2D4x10 damage, I was curious if this is correct or a typo. Doesn't seem quite right. What's the point of using the mini-gun if the rail gun has the same damage AND a longer range?

Reinstate the Vanguard. Give them free headjacks and ear implants. Pay them, apologize. I don't understand your proposal. if you want to reinstate the Vanguard, why mess up with their abilities at all? If you want to magically neutralise them, a pair of bionic legs would be the ticket. It does not ...

I'd like to see some more varied and more powerful psychic characters.

Actually, this particular threat was pointed out by DLDC in another post on Post War CS. Basically he forwaded the notion that Holmes is going to be mighty pissy when his band of heroes do not get Citizenship (as stated in SoT and Aftermath), and could be a very likely candidate to lead a CS Civil ...

Hey, if the Rifts movie does good, does that mean we'll get a Nightbane movie next?

Also, you should get a ad done on the movie, like during the opening previews talking about the actual RPG, so that people realize that it's all based on the game, and not the other way around.

Oh, btw, Drakonred...

*beats Draekonred over the head with a dragonslaying sword*

J00 should have given us a hint or something!!!

Any word on what the story is going to be about, or how long it's going to be until they have a release date? This is awesome, I've been waiting to see this for a long long time, I know Bruckheimer will do a good job on it, and Disney won't mess things up because they saw how bad the D&D movie flopp...
