Ok, I'm writing this at 5 in the morning so please excuse all the horrible grammar and sopyt but one crazy assed idea came to me while watching these 2 music videos on youtube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52xoRLh2dWw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGCyNOleWbU while watching those I started to e...

Well, given that Rifts is the setting of "where anything is possible!"...I'd have to go with the Splicers book.

You do realize that in any House worth a damn, these are fightin' words!

9voltkilowatt

I truly hope that whatever book we eventually get is more then just a collection of bio-toys. I'd like to see the setting get some real meat on its bones ...preferably in the form of regional write ups.

oh, and...

LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!!!

I gotta say I'm loving the detail you're putting into this project, makes for a good read.

Oh, and I vote for Bentonfield (home of impropriety, vulgarity, and indecency).

To stat up a layperson I'd suggest just giving them all 7+1D4 across the board. After that add one to two points to the most relevant attributes on the more important ones; most town leaders are likely to be slightly above average at either I.Q. or M.A. (possibly P.B. for the shallow type that just ...

I'd say stick with an all S.D.C. setting, if for whatever reason you want something to be virtually impossible to damage with regular weaponry you can slap on some extra A.R. points. Magic could be very easily slotted in and made feasible with nothing more then "the caster has to actually belie...

You might want to keep it all in one thread if for no other reason then ease of reference.

I'll probably keep reading in the hopes of seeing if you make the area of modern day Murray into the 7th layer of Hell ...as I believe it to be.

9voltkilowatt

Love the detail, looks like a nice low-key location with plenty of potential.

9voltkilowatt

Personally i don't think the CS needs more options to work with...

but you managed to do it while adding flavor, some insight and no power creep, so, kudos.

P.S. The S.D.C. equipment was a nice touch and can work wonders for a burb based game.

9voltkilowatt

I'd just make something up, that way you can give it your own brand of side effects as well as any possible benefits.

I've been thinking over an idea for a third faction (fourth? fifth? I've lost track of how many are actually official now.) that's becoming more and more disgusted with the route humanity is taking. They remember well the lessons learned by letting technology rule; a lesson most of humanity seems to...

Been chewing over some details on a nanite-fed bioreactor so I stopped by the forums to see if anyone else had done anything of the sort. Imagine my surprise when right on the front page is a catalyst for powering up just such a device! The general idea was that in the short term it provides a near ...

I like many of these ideas. I'm going to be usurping them for future use. You can't usurp what's freely given sir! 9: The players come across a scene of carnage ...and frankly, wholesale slaughter!

PIKACHU! I CHOOSE YOU! Love the downside! But the actual end result seems like a very restrictive version of the normal process. The character would need to get a huge pool of Bio-E at the start and then divided across 15 levels. A character would need 25% or more on average per level to compensate...

Had a player in an old Palladium fantasy game start crying after my character split his characters skull in half for being an @sshat!

Personally I would allow the transformation (sorry the previous class is still gone), but only if the demigod was willing to forsake their entire past, this includes any metaphysical links with their divine parent.

May be something original, remember that the "carpet bagger" showed up in art long before it was ever an actual race.

But then again now that I look at the picture ...it's a Vanguard Brawler, the weird ridged skin next to the eyes give it away.

I know, right? I just wish they were in the Rifter. I vote that the Falconer and Slappys personal weapon enhancements go in Rifter #52. We should continue "The Year of the Splice" To quote Starship Troopers : "I'm doing my part." The completed House Branton has been submitted fo...

Rifter #50 actually has an O.C.C. called a Genetecist. It requires a genepool from Splicers, is kinda gross, and about a billion times cooler than the genesplicers or genetechs from Rifts and Phase Worlds because Splicers is just that much cooler. Damn, I really need to catch up on my Rifter collec...

And lets not forget about any of the built-in security features that the original builders may have put in place. I mean come on, the Prometheans smacked down a splugorth invasion force and then charged them rent for the effort!

Personally I would think dimension books the size of the adventure books (The Black Vault and its kin) would be just about the perfect size. They provide enough room for a handful of maps and some detailed write ups on locations, npc' and classes while not being so big as to warrant filler material ...

With any luck my GM will never see this topic, as he has a real jones-on for trying to infiltrate Rifts earth with creatures from Nightspawn earth.

Why doesn't it work?

Because it's like claiming that you can pilot the cargo plane that's carrying a tank by using the tanks controls. No matter how badass that tanks control systems (and your ability to drive it) are they are not going to give you any extra edge while flying the plane.

I had thought of an idea of a dimension name Golgotha, which is basically the cemetery for the gods. Think about it, there must be thousands of pantheons, maybe even more and most of them get buried in this dimension. But just because they are dead, dosen’t mean their powers are gone, in fact they ...
