If I remember right, I allowed characters to use more than two sets of arms with paired weapons, but I required them to take the WP skill for each additional set of arms. It wasn't something I ran into much.

depending on your relationship with the store owner, you may be able to get the store to refer anyone looking to sell specific books to you (the FLGS around here doesn't stock PB stuff, but they will order a copy of whatever you need if you ask). I asked them about that once. It's a great shop but ...

It's been a while since I've talked with any gamers about why they don't play Palladium, but the most frequent reason I heard was Palladium's reputation. None of them had actually tried it but they avoided it simply because of what they'd heard or read from others. They made a lot of the same argume...

None of my FLGS's had it in stock this week, and none of my normal online shops had it, either. One local shop should have it today, but I probably can't make it out there until Monday. I'm quite eager to get my hands on this one.

I've managed to complete a good deal of my Mechanoids collection since starting this thread several months ago. The Mechanoid Invasion was the original comic-book sized book that came out in 1981. It was followed by The Mechanoid Invasion Book 2: The Journey and The Mechanoid Invasion Book 3: Homewo...

Got mine yesterday morning. Very pleased. Great issue.

Steamworks exist, but in North America most engines run on petrol. Mechanical energy, however, has not been neglected; petrol is spendy, even though you may use it every day to raise of lower your drawbridge, so other energies are frequently harnessed. I'm sure I have a treatise on such matters els...

The times I've had campaigns that wound through the ATB world, I portrayed it as a recovering post-Apocalyptic world. In other words, there are still plenty of ruins to be found, but many of the larger cities and rural areas are in decent shape. There were always specific ruins and locations for the...

I ended up getting it for 7.99 or so on Ebay. It was listed as good shape, and detailed a few flaws. Surprisingly, like several other auctions lately, it was in much, much better shape than listed. Not a bad deal!

It's my understanding that, unless you get an official rejection, you can not resubmit it.

I've been reading Library of Bletherad this past week (first time I've read the whole thing), and I'm really fascinated by the material about the Heroic Realms. I did a few searches and came upon this thread. I'd like to see those fleshed out, mainly because they would add to the entire Megaversal s...

Second Edition has those. From what I've read, sounds as though the formatting in the first print is different, and the monsters don't list HF or P.P.E. I was hoping for a bit more of a difference. Might still get it anyway.

Big Red

Aside from the cover, does anyone know if there's any difference between the first printing (KS green background cover) and later printings? I know I had the first printing at one point, sold it, then got a later printing, then finally revised. I just didn't know if there were any differences betwee...

If a person did not have the internet (and more than 50% of people do not), People, perhaps. Gamers? Pfft. Though the grouping chosen does have a higher than average internet access ratio, it still does not change the fact that not all the pieces of a product we paid for were delivered. Actually, a...

I always figured they were kept out so they could get a proper update in the long-ago-mentioned Rifts: Dragons & Gods book. Speaking of which, was there ever any mention of what happened to that?

Big Red

And that's my story. How is it relavent? I imagine a few of you will figure it out. I don't suppose it would help this discussion any to state that I had plenty of friends in college like this, but I quit associating with them when I saw how awful they treated the people they supposedly cared about...

I've always been a little "flexible" about what I consider a playable O.C.C./R.C.C., so keep that in mind. But I have a spreadsheet that serves a similar purpose. It doesn't have the short description, but my total numbers right now are 1,221 R.C.C.'s and 421 O.C.C.'s.

Rifts is a wonderful game to play, it's a headache for the GM though. Back when I was GM'ing, I never found it to be any more of a headache than anything else. In fact, because I always prepared more for my Rifts games, they usually went a lot easier on me. Also, we'd just come off playing Marvel S...

This is actually more a "worst group" than "worst GM" (the GM was a close friend at a time, really good at it, and had a blast with what ensued). I was playing D&D with a group at the comic shop I worked at. It started out on a rough note because one guy had a Brownie compan...

Big Red

It started out on a rough note because one guy had a Brownie companion that had all sorts of non-standard powers and no way to explain how the creature had come by them. The GM insisted that the guy not use the Brownie, and a big argument ensued. The GM finally relented, and as soon as we came to t...

One of the first Palladium games I played in was a Robotech game run by some guy at the comic book store I worked at back in high school. When we rolled up our characters, I saw the Mac II and figured that was the coolest mecha in the book, so I picked that. The GM tried to disuade me, but I had my ...

What? No Bradshaw?

I've never actually read it (despite having every issue of the Rifter), so I voted for tacos. I might get around to reading it after the next book or two I finish.

Here's what scared me:

Despite his grand stature, Chilli only grazes on grass during the day and enjoys the occasional swede as a treat.

If we'd have had one of those back in the war, Sweden would be ours!

So far, the Wormwood piece is easily my favorite article. I'm looking forward to the other installments. I couldn't get past the vacuum bubble on the sub-orbital satellites in the CS piece, though. I was absolutely giddy to see some Bradshaw artwork. Can't wait for Dyval and Dead Reign now!

Well... not entirely alone, no. It's just my personal opinion , but if it is to be an anual event, I would like to see the Swimsuit Rifter printed in addtion to the regular quarterly issues. That might not be feasable printing cost-wise, but that is what I would like to see. I really like that idea...

I can't think of a campaign that I've run over the last 23 years that didn't involve Doc Feral at some point, and that includes Rifts.

Is there anything else other than city information, such as new O.C.C.'s, R.C.C.'s, creatures, etc.? I'm trying to decide whether to order this or not. Aside what is mentioned above, no.

In light of the negativity I experienced with the other company, I do feel obliged to post about a good experience. I ordered the new Robotech book from Stiggybaby.com, plus a couple TMNT books.

I used to have the 1985 book, but sold it off (including one of the original comics) during college. I have the Trilogy, and just picked up the Caliber comics (unfortunately).

Controlling the clock on a computer can be very powerful. Especially if the computer was not patched for Y2k, or if you could set it before 1980 (most computer clocks can't go before that year). You could force time-outs, and lockouts. Just think when that Power Suit's computer won't work, because ...

One of my players likes doing that. He makes characters based off of something he's seen on TV or movies or comics.

What's your favorite issue of the Rifter overall, and why? I've been looking through them all lately, and didn't see any topics that asked.

There is precedent, though. At least one of the Terror Bears, in their second appearance, had developed the ability to use Bio-Manipulation: Pain in conjunction with his Mind Trap.

I don't think I've seen a copy in a store since I bought mine, which was back when it was first released.

I just added something pretty cool to my collection (kind of). I just won an auction for the Caliber Press Mechanoids comic book, #1-3. Not sure what's all in there, game-wise, but I figured it was a good way to round out my PB collection a bit.

Most of what was in the hangars he managed was rather mundane. The nature of most of what he told us had more to do with certain events prior to their occurring.
