I was wondering if there are any VTT version of some of the classic Palladium Fantasy adventures, specifically of "The Place of Magic" in the first sourcebook.

I was looking around DriveThruRPG and Palladium Books shop and I am not really seeing anything

I meant 'nicknames', indeed. They will learn their true names of their weapon on the second or third story arc. I need name that fill the essence of what I want them to be. The dagger for the elf I am leaning toward being 'spite', or another, better name, if I find one. Anyways, thank you for your t...

My group is composed to two new players, and one who has only really had experience with 3.5 D&D. I am letting them learn the setting a little at a time, and after they have finished saving their village/area, I plan on focusing on the different aspects of the elf/dwarf war, letting them go thro...

It will be some time before I get the chance to peruse this book.....likely the next installment will be released before that happens, but, Im kinda curious......between dead reign and MoM, it sounds like what is turned in as a manuscript is almost nothing like what is finally released. Which makes ...

Severite

Just......good grief (who went where and did what is just, useless, you know?). Im curious in the bioborg abilities versus cost, myself. Unfortunately, I am away from many of my books as so often happens, but iirc, there is a limit to the amount of 'modifications' a body can take, but this is off me...

There was an RPG called Armageddon:the End Times by Carella / Eden Studios that may be worth a look for ideas. "96% of world places were obliterated" - puts you in a tough situation because there is so little for the PCs to recognize in the game setting. Thus, I suggest picking out the no...

I have a homebrew game I have been playing, in which the PC's have brought about the end of the world as we know it through basically Biblical means..... though it is more the spirit of the subject matter then the literal translation of the Bible. The Players released a big evil who went to fight wi...

Well, one idea is that a "prduced" item probably regulates exactly how much energy an eclip can take, and automatically turns off when the charge has completed. That way, you could "kludge" a systems together, but Im sure an electrical engineer could put something like that toget...

Well, the biggest difference is in conception, Rifts is green wilderness, Fallout is a bombed out shell. WTFLOL? Do you think the CS plants a forest after every battle? Of course there are bombed out areas on Rifts Earth. However, I never meant that a Rifts game should be Fallout 3 with the Rifts l...

Earth Warlocks are pretty much the best all around for building or rebuilding for a community. I've had entire communities built from the ground up by a single Earth Warlock. Pretty much the only thing they can't do is make the advanced technological options for you. But there is something really e...

Course, there is also the fact that a number of people dont have the roleplaying ability/maturity to play something exotic............. An unfortunate proportion of these lack the roleplaying ability and maturity to convincingly play a human, though. I agree, though it is easier to learn something ...

So, a more interesting question is, are TA unable to get bionics? I would say yes. The integration of bionics is all hardware side... the bionics are designed to work with the body as-is, rather than trying to change the body to work with it. Gotta agree with mark on this one. Me too, though I see ...

I wonder why, actually? The same for the Alchemist......yes, its unlikely player characters will ever achieve, but it the game runs long enough, why cant they achieve something an NPC can, as long as they go through the same hoops.

Severite

Actually, aren't a rather large number of High Lords Rune masters? Yes. I also hate the feel of rune weapons/lost ancient arts in Rifts, so I have adjusted my campaign quite a bit to acomodate them. There are 'generic' rune weapons, but they are of the light 'lesser' rune weapon variety. Similar to...

Destroy a city? How hard is that? 1 Have a god 2 Have deific abilities 3 have a destructive power 4 remove limits by limits I mean the silly idea of not pumping points into spells or psionics to increase damages. So if a fireball spell costs 35 points, 10,000/35=285x(avg 3d6=9)=2571MD. Now if you w...

I come for ideas, and all I get is excuses not to do something, and suggestions to replace what could be an interesting thought-experiment in testing the upper limits of what is definable in the Palladium, and instead I get people that would replace a character class with a paragraph long plot devi...

You could always have them face off a mid level/group of low level mages..........antimagic barrier will defeat that strategy, forcing them to come up with a new one, also, you can always 'seal' away certain effects, makeing unsealing a major plot device. Then there is the possibility of throwing a ...

Um, about the canned goods having expiration dates, they are there mostly because of FDA regulations and the majority of dates are usually 2-3 years after canning. As an aside, a can of peaches from a stash dated back to the Napoleanic wars was opened and was still edible so as long as the can itse...

And in reference to the other posts I do think that Fallout 3 has a pretty decent similarity to Rifts Earth, only without the magic and cyborgs and such. Well, the biggest difference is in conception, Rifts is green wilderness, Fallout is a bombed out shell. Fallout has near campy vault and 50's er...

Ok, I believe we are still missing each other in the dark........ He is suggesting a book that details two sets of stats, one for Dead Reign caused my magic mojo, one for Dead Reign caused by super science/something else not magic. So, same system, game, the only difference is that if somebody want...

Severite

Perhaps so, but to further the line of reasoning, how would having a dual line for the same RPG make it harder to license, as they aren't "converging" to separate IP, they are taking one IP, and giving it paralell material. edited to A) enforce clarity upon my typed word, and B) create th...

Online? Very true, but understandably so. In your home? Whatever, convert whatever you like. HOWEVER, even with that said, you can pull ideas without having to plagiarize in the least, particularly by expanding and adapting

Just a thought I had, but what if PB were to publish source books for DR that contained both the mystical and non-mystical trains of thought for the game? Sort of like how they did with Mutants in Orbit, where half the book was for Rifts and the other half was After the Bomb. Would that increase or...

Got this from Kev just today in response to a PM I sent him regarding this topic. Dear Ken/Northern Ranger, Fear not, we intend to come out with sourcebooks for Palladium Fantasy, Nightbane, Rifts, Chaos Earth and a bunch of our game lines. You are right, Palladium Fantasy has been neglected too lo...

I personally would run it with the overzealous palladin and company buying it at the hands of citizens/priests, since just because they are servants of an evil god, doesn't mean it is illegal, or even wrong . For instance, perhaps the gods alignment was aberrant. Evil, yet honorable, and, most likel...

Severite, your probably right , but I wouldn't have too many qualms about doing so if it meant my survival (and my family too), but it would have to be a last resort.

I personally think they would build one, and keep it secret, for use when all else has failed, the human race is about to be or is destroyed. Because that is all one would be good for, as a final act of vengence, course, I could also see a 'secret' switch installed by a head scientist who is paid ve...

Its my understanding the before Bill Coffin left, he had finished and turned in LOTD 3. Do any of y'all know if it is ever going tobe released.

I tend to be looser about this, now, if the player is ok with being a tool, who am I to question? Of course, the caveat is the interaction being actively disruptive? If not, then let it go.

That would kind of be my other issue......one of the main draws for Rifts is the sheer amount of variety, and it would almost be impossible to incorporate this into a game, much less a visual extravaganza that a FPS style would need, and who wants Rifts lite? That's why you release several differen...
