Re: Has anybody just sat down with a stack of RIFTS books an
Ive found much the same thing. Its very easy to start reading some small detail, or go out looking for just one fact then spend hours looking through parts of the books. I like to try to imagine what an average street or an average person/creature would look like in the setting I'm reading at that t...

Re: Why I Like Rifts
I also want to add in support of a few posters here who have already mentioned the setting/universe/theme as a highlight for Rifts. I have no particular attachment to any part of the combat/stat system but I do enjoy many parts of the Setting of Rifts. A couple of highlights for me: - Most memorable...

Re: References to SDI and Cheyenne Mountain in Rifts
I am looking for references to SDI or Cheyenne Mountain in the books. so far on the list: Chaos Earth mentions contact being lost with Norad and the president being dead. Mutants in Orbit has several SDI satelites listed. apparently one of the tolkeen siege books has SDI sattellites listed in it......

Re: Google Sheets - Character Sheet
Yeah.. and yet most people don't make one. So add buttons, add macros. Mine uses VB hover drop down menus over each skill line to select skills. The thing is if they buy it from you maybe they'd offer an annual retainer to provide them with updates too. I'm to lazy to put the classes in to finish m...

Re: Google Sheets - Character Sheet
Should be just enough to not include skill descriptions. And when submitting it to Palladium for authorization to post offer to sell instead. Protect and hide all coding so when they do sell it someone can't just copy and paste to modify it themselves. Generic descriptions of powers with citations ...

Re: Kings Have Forsaken Entire Kingdoms to Possess One
I think you can take a lot of inspiration from the violent and chaotic history of ancient politics in our world. This is a world entirely without the fantasy aspects of other systems, but has still had huge amounts of violence and chaos in (especially ancient)politics. Running Nations and actual Kin...

Re: When writing campaigns, what do you use?
This thread has been really interesting to me just to see what people are using to write campaigns. I've been using Word, but I'm going to go look up all of the other options mentioned here and see how they compare. So thanks . For me, I enjoy sharing what i write, so I like it to be in some sort of...

Re: Google Sheets - Character Sheet
Well I'm happy to combine my spreadsheet with others if it serves to help Palladium players and GMs. If you hear back from Palladium and want to join forces let me know. Also I see we're both Australians Yep, bit of a rarity to see meet some Australians on here . The Rifts Campaign i'm currently in...

Re: Google Sheets - Character Sheet
I have done something similar you might want to have a look at. It can calculate hand to hand and WP combat bonuses (except those that come from OCCs). If you want to share resources PM me. m Nice. Ive also made a full character sheet with all its sections in excel, which is more limited than yours...

Re: The cost of doing business
I think the real catch with going independant is twofold: Marketing and procurement. Yes, if you can get ongoing contracts, market yourselves and get all the gear you need to start up, then it often makes sense to go indpendant. the problem is most mercenaries don't have the financial resources or ...

Re: Have you ever GM'ed yourself?
To me, a campaign where someone is GM'ing only themselves sounds, in practice, exactly like writing a book/fanfiction for Rifts, especially if you aren't doing any dice rolls. Have you considered writing a book or even a short story instead? When I wasn't interested/available for playing any Tableto...

Re: The cost of doing business
So what do you do when the potential employer doesn't have deep enough pockets to pay for serious repairs? This whole topic is interesting because in real life, the equipment, let alone the maintenance of equipment, is worth only a small portion of the mercenary fee since it's far easier to find mi...

Re: Google Sheets - Character Sheet
Ive looked for these kind of things many times on this forum. Most are scattered throughout various threads. There is one central link hub i found for character sheets(mostly megaversal ones), though it is practically 80% crossed out links at the moment. http://palladium-megaverse.com/forums/viewtop...

Re: The cost of doing business
When i was writing up/creating a Mercenary Company (which i did recently) I actually went into this kind of detail on the probable contract costs and even things like wages. This was all based on the figures given in the Mercenaries Book. I can share the document that contains all the figures(and a ...

Re: Rifts NA map
This is a really useful resource that ive seen used in games and used myself. Its also great for getting a better understanding of Rifts-NA as a whole.
I saw that there was an earlier version of this (1.2 i think) as a png, which loads far quicker(for me) than the pdf. Very useful.
