My friend sent me an image of the Immolator Daemonix from the CCG. I thought it was a cool looking humanoid whale. I decided to make a bad pixel art version.

Transdimensional TMNT has a human base animal.

Now that Palladium has resurrected AtB and the rest of the supplements for that line, I was wondering if anyone was thinking on updating/rebuilding Transdimensional TMNT into a more compatible form with the current books... Perhaps even redesigning the entire module for a more "universal"...

Battle Beasts were always my mini of choice. Good choice. You don't have the ability to find anything larger than others but not really that important.

There is a kickstarter for the new Justice Machine comic. I thought people might be interested. Looks like there are some detractors of the current rights owner here so maybe you won't be interested. I've never read the series.

Rifters pdfs are included in the Christmas in July sale on drivethrurpg. I'm glad to see someone made a list so I can see what I'm missing. Not sure if I'm going to pick anything up yet. I'm still bothered by the lack of an errata.

dulsi

Keep this thread to erratta only as this is something that "The Galactus Kid" needs.

I take it since 'The Galatus Kid' internship is up we aren't really getting an errata. I suppose it doesn't matter for me anymore anyway.

I posted about this earlier.

I suspect it is a hold over from TMNT where they wanted the big guys to be forced to a more reasonable size.

When Thyfur did the Zebra and others I noticed the increased cost for hands and biped. I knew that in TMNT some creatures used more BIO-E to get human features than others.

On p142, it says "Note that the shooter will have penalties if he is moving as well as shooting at moving targets. See the Modern Combat section." There doesn't appear to be any mention of said penalties. I suppose you could consider p151 "Moving or dodging targets are more difficult ...

There doesn't seem to be as much information on whales sleeping. Dolphins keep one eye open while sleeping. From the web information it is not clear if whales keep one eye open.

Is that in the AtB2 book? I haven't found it anywhere. It should be added to the errata thread. Strictly speaking, its absence is not a mistake, but a case of unclear wording. It's kind of ironic that in an instance where copying & pasting has actually worked well, they didn't use it. I disagre...
