Shields are not armor, they're a form of weapon. That said, the larger the shield, the better cover they provide.. So the missing factor is a clear definition of cover and how to use it in combat/with a shield. I'm on that. Seems like some people though want a shield to affect your armor's A.R., so...

Someday i'm going to make a star-nation of these guys called Toquz Oghuz Alliance just to run with the joke theme.

You've lost me completely..

Maybe take your shield Parry bonus (just the shield bonus, not the P.P. or HTH bonus) and add it to your A.R.? Shields are not armor, they're a form of weapon.

I'm compiling a list of features that should be included in Palladium Fantasy Ultimate edition and have already wrote an outline for upgrading the Shield W.P.

I wouldn't say all the rules.. each game has it's own setting specific rules that don't belong to the other games..

Here's an example of the difference.. Today I uploaded This image to my DeviantArt page, after reducing it to 9x11.5 at 300dpi (it's being displayed at 600x767 dpi). However, the original is actually 7826x10000 dpi; to show that, I've cut a 2700x3450 (9x11.5 inches) section out of the image to show ...

Wow thats a lot of pixels! Yes I did see some blurring from enlarging it to 24" wide (3 times its normal width) but on my screen it didn't look too bad, but if I were to spend the $$ to have an actual poster sized print made I guess I would want it as sharp as possible. Exactly. And poster siz...

Is there is a large, detailed map of the Palladium fantasy world? I'm looking for something that could be printed out to a poster size. Here is that what you are looking for? While very well done, that image isn't high enough resolution to do a poster from.. The downloaded version of that is 2423 x...

I'm sorry, when I saw the title of this thread all I could think of was some creature with a dozen breasts..

The RUE didn't gather ALL the rules and clarify ALL the rules, but it did gather A LOT of the rules and clarified SOME. While I'm sure the megaversal players will be disappointed, I expect a Palladium Fantasy Ultimate Edition will gather all of the Palladium Fantasy rules into one book. That is to ...

Okay, I'll bite.. What 'much more' should be done in a Palladium Fantasy Ultimate Edition?

Here's a little something I've been working on on the side: Phase World Paper Minis: Seljuk

MADMANMIKE

I am not privy to the final numbers for Palladium Books. I am sure that at the very least Palladium broke even. As for sold out product: There is only 1 Max Sterling Gen Con 2013 exclusive left. That's cuz he fell behind the table and no one noticed, otherwise he would have sold. There were approx....

MADMANMIKE

Thanks. The skeleton warriors you see in one of the pics are from a set of Undead, and there is also an almost finished set of additional OCCs that includes Nobles, Peasants, thugs, guards and the like. I'm developing a set of elves and dwarves, a set of OCCs like the first that's all female, and wo...

I've posted several images of the minis that I had on display at GenCon Here. Several people seemed exited about them.

Semi related: If you are interested in getting into mini painting, I can recommend the guide book from GW.

Thanks, but no. After collecting dust on my shelf for 21 years I just sold my 1993 boxed set of Warhammer 40K at GenCon Saturday with most of it still on the sprue.

MADMANMIKE

All very good points about Robotech. I think what bothers me most is the basic paint job, which is less than even just underwhelming. Please forgive my ignorance of the different ways of painting miniatures, it's never been my cup of tea.. Perhaps you could give a point by point explanation using t...

I'm working on uploading all of my pictures this morning, will post a link when they're up. Okay, all of my photos are up in this gallery ; pretty much all of the Robotech RPG Tactics images are clumped together so if you click on the first one in the gallery you can use the navigation buttons to p...

I honestly had only heard the title a couple of times with nothing else before GenCon.. While there I met the artist who did the cover and got a good look at said image.. all I can say is WOW.. I imagine from reading the intro pages to MiF that with the Coalition caught off-guard by the invasion, it...

My ride has us heading home early today, so I may have my pics up in my DeviantArt Gallery by late this evening.. Internet here in the hotel is too slow to upload them all before headed to the con.

MADMANMIKE

Ok so the almost everything is packed and when Kevin and the guys head to GenCon I head home.....but I thought I'd let you know what I'm allowed to say is going to be there. Sadly no Robotech RPG Tatics. Happily the negatives for the original TMNT rule book, and TMNT Adventures, Rifts China 1, Free...

MADMANMIKE

Oy, okay, I think I've got them done. Characters for Phase World, Heroes Unlimited and Palladium Fantasy.

MADMANMIKE

Very impressive stuff you have on deviantart.......i actually DLed a couple of the character sheets you designed.... Keep up the good work....i do hope the minis on driveThruRPG sell well Thanks, I'm hoping the do well too. I'd love to keep doing them and branching out into Palladium's other proper...

MADMANMIKE

Those paper minis are the brain child of forum user MADMANMIKE, perhaps with time he would endeavor to do some Rifts sets. As I understand it, PB allowed him to put them up. He came to them, not the other way around. Please correct me if I have this wrong Mike. Yes, you are correct. There are sever...

MADMANMIKE

Will you be doing minis for Rifts or HU........now that i think about it, i would love to see zombie minis for DR Time will tell. I actually started this whole project when I decided to do minis for the Heroes Unlimited game I ran at the last Open House; I have some Phase World minis I've designed ...

New information in the latest press release!

I'm working on a Great Horned Dragon mini that should be in the store within a couple of weeks; I expect to have one assembled at GenCon, so someone will probably post pictures somewhere by this time next week...

Bought one of each- good luck! Thanks, it's much appreciated! BTW, seemed a little pricey in comparison to some of the other like products out for other systems- but wanted to support you in particular, and Palladium in general. Thanks for that too, I'm flattered. I've spent a bit over two years de...

MADMANMIKE

4) Any walk-in games? Thanks for any info. I'm not familiar with how the gaming sessions are supposed to work--I'd originally imagined it to be a ton of people playing 'pick-up' games and just having a lot of fun that way, but it appears to be a lot more complex than that now that I'm looking at ev...

The latest update mentions Reagren Wright's book on Bizantium (as well as my paper minis)..

MADMANMIKE

It must be thousands of people that want to write a book for free? Why?? The simple truth is that you get what you pay for. Palladium is not in the habit of slapping their name onto any old script and calling it a book. Quality control can make or break a small company so they can't gamble that a s...

MADMANMIKE

Looking good man. I'll have to pick them up eventually. Thanks! And eventually can now probably be as early as tomorrow! Finishing some minor edits in the morning and then they should go up. Teasers: I put a collage image on each package that puts the front-side art of each mini in the set in one g...

Now that things are going to the printer there's a good chance that these will be in the store at drivethrurpg.com very soon. In case you didn't notice, I've been rotating my sig pic to each of the four gladiator minis that will come as part of the free sample pack. Today I've been putting together ...

I'm on the list to go, plan to run games at the booth, and have a room and ride, but I need to raise some cash for the gas and spending money.

The Monsters & Animals book lists them as only being 7-8 feet tall, not 11 feet. Where are you getting 11 feet? I always assumed their horse half was much smaller than an average horse. It is only when you make the horse body like an average horse that they get as large as you claim. See the po...

MADMANMIKE

Okay, I've updated my image, as Monsters & Animals lists height at 7-8ft as opposed to the 11ft listed in RIFTS; but I will point out that the standard for measuring horses is 'at the shoulder' and if you measured an 11ft tall centuar (RIFTS Conversion book specifies that 11ft is at the top of t...

MADMANMIKE

Okay, so I put together this scale image a few minutes ago to show just how big they are.. Standing in front of it is a 6ft 6in tall Elf.

If my Paper miniatures do well eventually I'll do a set for Centaurs as well.

MADMANMIKE

I think it should be pointed out the difference in scale between people and Centaurs.. And Ogres, Trolls and Wolfen for that matter. Centaurs are 11 feet tall, that's almost 2x as tall as the average human.. the average horse is only about seven feet tall at the ears (and that's the size that stable...
