Love all this!

Northern Ranger

Love them all! Thanks

Northern Ranger

Thanks KC! Those are all pretty good. I actually wouldn't have thought of the aspect of a war between races being seen as a natural disaster. I think I can run with that!

Northern Ranger

But I'm back! My group recently decided to take a break from Epic Quest (the game I created with their help) and are going back to Palladium Fantasy. It's good to be back in my old stomping grounds. Lots of new faces here lately... some old ones too I hope. Looking for some ideas for my new campaign...

Northern Ranger

Sounds utterly horrifying

Northern Ranger

Holy resurrected threads Batman! This even brought me out of hiding! I haven't been on these threads in... I don't even know how long!

Holy Resurrected threads Batman!

Northern Ranger

The Night Strikers A guild started by one of my primary characters, an assassin named Reaper. The Guild is called the same thing as the rogues it employs and trains. The Night Stalkers themselves are a hybrid between thieves and assassins and Reapers own, unique moral code. He personally chooses the...

Look folks, water has been used as a cleansing and purifying agent throughout history. Kevin is drawing upon water's sacred and mythological connotations. Running water is purifying the vampire, melting away the "sin and evil." Folk traditions created the belief that running water destroy...

Northern Ranger

*sigh* No, snow will not hurt a vampire! In my humble opinion, rain doesn't hurt a vampire either. I know that running water is supposed to harm them, but I tend to think of running water as, at the very least, a flowing creek up to and including an ocean. I don't believe weather such as rain or sno...

Northern Ranger

I've always played it as four distinct numbers that must be rolled over, the easier the thing to be percieved, the lower the number rolled, the harder the perception, the higher the number. The numbers I've always used are 3, 6, 12 and 16. Certain skills (at least as I've re-written them!) give bonu...

Northern Ranger

I voted yes. You can never have too many deities in the world. It allows for a great deal of religious mixing. I've made at least one God myself, someone who has been a recurring villain and is the driving force in my longest running campaign. D'L'Tal'Itz, the god of shadows and the reason behind th...

Northern Ranger

Lord of the Rings, Merlin, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Gladiator and a myriad of others. I pretty love all the fantasy stuff that comes out, so my games are typically quite a mixture of looks! Also comics like Conan or the long lost Sojourn from crossgen are big ones for me.

Northern Ranger

After that long, a lot the magics protecting those things would have simply ended. Most, not all granted, but most magic has a time limit.

Northern Ranger

Love the shadow magic! Also, the tome of endless winter (i think I got that right) is cool. Love Deep Freeze!

Northern Ranger

I'll give it another try then... "apprentice" (prerequisits) -level 5 (skills) lore magic, principles of magic, literacy/language dragonese -able to cast/buy invocations (this is a technical skill that must be chosen as an o.c.c. Related skill...and counts as two selections) With this ski...

Mr. Nexx, the God of Magic, has spoken!

Northern Ranger

My guess, Reagren, would be no, they can't learn spells above level 8. But I'm not quite the magical expert Mister Hall is. To be frank, it's going to depend on what they wrote in the book, that's where the info is going to come from! And according to what Kev himself told me, MoM will be out toward...

Northern Ranger

Jeez. I have so many different villains, each one very different from the others. A master vampire who in life was a necromancer and figured out a way to increase his knowledge of death magic as an undead. A True Atlantean who came to Palladium as a mercenary and is only evil if the money is right. ...

Northern Ranger

I'll bet he's got a wicked screwball!

Northern Ranger

I've read this entire thread three times now, and every time it's made me laugh like Hell! We've waited how many years for a new Fantasy book? And when the very talented Mister Hall finally gives us one, all you folks seem able to do is to tear it apart. For the record I wasn't tearing it apart. I'...

Northern Ranger

My current group consists of a Minotaur (which was on your list) and a Dragon Wolf, as well as an Ashada and a Daemonyc (that's one of my creations, been posted here). I'm the only one playing a standard race, human, but it's a Forsaken Mage, making it unique anyways! One of the most unique characte...

Northern Ranger

I always took it for an Imperial Janissary too, and never really thought it looked elven. But hey, who says I pay that much attention? My wife certainly doesn't!

Northern Ranger

Wow, from the man himself. I'm glad I got the idea right sir, thank you! And again, congratulations Mark. You did good my friend!

Northern Ranger

I've already made one, a human whose estranged assassin father (one of my mains called Reaper) slayed his master before his training could be completed. So now he uses what he's learned since then to hunt his father, whom he plans to kill in retaliation for ruining his magical training. Oh, what a ...

Northern Ranger

Hobbes, if you're out there, you may not want to read this! First off, let me just say that Mr. Hall was not the only author of this title, therefore the blame for whatever you folks may not have liked can not be placed squarely on his shoulders. Not knowing what he wrote and what Kevin wrote makes ...

Northern Ranger

Just ordered it, finally. Looking forward to sinking my brain into this one Mark. Again, congratulations. I'll PM you with my thoughts on it. Don't need to be sharing that crud with all these folks. (Besides, I'll probably embarrass myself, gushing about it!)

Northern Ranger

PM me your e-mail address and I'll shoot you a copy revised for 2nd edition rules. It was done by the ever talented Entiago. He did a fantastic job on it. I've shared it with quite a few others here on the forums.

Northern Ranger

You are quite welcome BARQ. And as always, thanks for the praise! It's appreciated

Northern Ranger

It amazes me, Mephisto, how much of your stuff that I use without even realizing you wrote it! It actually makes me feel guilty, like maybe you aren't getting the recognition you deserve. That being said.... Mephisto rocks! You guys and gals should check out his stuff. The guy is a phenomenal creat...

Northern Ranger

Well, aren't you just a couple of buzz killers?

Still, I don't follow those other games, so I think this might be the first time for PF? That's still pretty big. Course, it's the first actual book for PF in how long? If they'd done others, there might be more Rifter stuff converted to them.

Northern Ranger

Hey Mark, something occured to me while I was reading the press release that was just put out. One of the items advertised as being in Mysteries of Magic one is some additional material on the Goblin Cobbler. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mark the first time that an entry in the Rifter h...

Northern Ranger

First off, congrats Mark. Couldn't have happened to a nicer, more helpful or condescending dude! Seriously, this is a huge step. I know you've had a bajillion Rifter Articles (bastard) but an actual book with your name on the title line. That's a dream I myself aspire to someday. Again, congratulati...

Northern Ranger

Confirmed sHaka. There is a two part barbarian article in Rifter 44 and 46 which delves quite deeply into the sub-clases of barbarian. One of them is the berserker, there is also a Wild Man and Savage Warrior (my favorites) among a couple others. Check them out!

Northern Ranger

Go tick off another dragon and lure it back to this one's lair? Let them fight it out, then take down the obviously weakened victor. Of course, a weak dragon is still more than match enough for folks like Bob and Dave. By the way, has anyone taken Bob's weapons? If not, they're mine.

Northern Ranger

I'd have to vote for Mark on the cage match. But then... I always vote for Mark! So... battle on!

Northern Ranger

I'm just gonna wait till they actually publish the Second Edition Undead Hunter. It's going to be in either Yin Sloth Jungles second edition, or Mysteries of Magic, as I believe Mister Hall said he did a conversion for it, but was uncertain if they're going to go with it or not! I'm waiting eagerly ...

Northern Ranger

Mark my not understand your thought processes for creating this deity, but I think he would be one of the first to agree with me saying don't let a few naysayers shoot down your creativity. Whether we agree with you or not, if you like the idea, run with it. Maybe it'll work for you. I tend to do wh...

Northern Ranger

On the surface I see no real problem with this. I've worked with Danzi characters quite a bit (one of my players has a Danzi ranger, so I know about the leather). I have no problem, personally, with them developing the skill to upgrade something that they themselves created in the first place! It se...

Northern Ranger

I think he'd have more than just Vald Tegor to contend with. Utu and possibly Set and or Anubis might frown on a new "death" god showing up. But that would just serve to add spice to the setting! I say write it up, and post it here when you're done!

Northern Ranger

So... who's Abbot? And who's Costello?

"Heeeyyyy Aaaabbbbooot!"

Northern Ranger

Which just goes to prove my other point. It all basically comes down to circumstance. I think these two monsters were designed to be close to equal. It could really go either way, depending on how the dice fell!

Northern Ranger

Okay, this is a vampire thread, so I have to put in my two-cents worth! The one factor that I think everyone is overlooking thus far is that the Master Vampire can call on whatever lesser vampires he's created to help him peel off the mummy's band-aid's. Add that to the already not inconsiderable po...

Northern Ranger

Hee hee. How did I handle it? I re-wrote all the skills. And I do mean ALL the skills. I do also use crit failures, and the lower you succeed by, the better the product. I also do versus checks, meaning if the thief is trying to prowl past a guard, he has to beat the guards roll by a wider percentag...

Northern Ranger

I've always kind of figured it as a matter of preference. Palladium is a very prejudiced world, so the interactions reflect that. For instance, a human woman is not likely to fall for a wolfen male, no matter what he looks like. (Though it actually did happen once in one of my campaigns! Bestiality ...

Northern Ranger

Wow, someone feeling creative? This is good stuff though, keep it coming!

Northern Ranger

Thanks very much, and yes, that's what it meant!
