I’ve been keeping an eye out for any mention of Rifter 86, but there hasn’t been an update in quite a number of months now.

Grand Paladin

Well, it's a tie for me. First was MADMAN Mike's thieves game. From what I understand, Mike had a rough outline and we just put together this super elaborate plan that I don't think any of us expected. I can't remember the names of the two guys next to me but they were fantastic, as was Peter Porca...

eliakon, that is how I view these creatures as well.

I was just curious (and my memory on this is foggy) to see if there was any examples of a written Temporal Raider that identified with a more feminine persona.

Grand Paladin

Hi all, I wanted to know if anybody is aware of any mention in published material, of an exams of a female Temporal Raider?

If there are still folks that are going, I've got a room from Thursday to Sunday, and am willing to share the room. I was planning to share with Stan Bundy, but his availability to attend is in doubt. Hit me up with a PM or otherwise if there is interest.

16 Days!!

Thanks, but I haven't planned on running any games this time around.

Picked up my VIP Thursday ticket the first week they went on sale back in August. Picked up the Weekend pass the other day. I was at the 2007 POH and had a great time, even though I had a HD crash a couple of days before that affected my scheduled games. Thankfully, as I expected, everyone was cool ...

This is a big reason why Braden is awesome. Thanks!

I'm honestly, happily surprised this is happening!

I hope this means we'll be getting related RPG titles out of this!

TMNT hasn't been a licensed property for Palladium in many moons, and probably should be replaced with Ninjas and Superspies.

Grand Paladin

I'd agree that Prysus has it pretty much nailed down. If the intent was to kill the PC's, and the first element is the knockout gas, Sixth Sense would go off, as it's an imminent life threatening event that will be set in motion. A deeper question is if someone is already affected by knockout gas/dr...

Generally, orders for in-stock items will be billed, packed and out the door for shipping within 3 days (my experience). The method of shipping that you selected will greatly impact when you get your order in-hand. Media mail is cheapest, but could take up to 14 business days, or as little as 3-4 da...

I did a forum search and found the last time Nekira posted that bit of information was a little over a year ago now. It was questioned by Grand Paladin and this was the closest thing to a response that Nekira decided to provide. So in answer to the original question, that statement does not appear ...

Grand Paladin

Not that I've seen in my copy of the R:UE, which is 1st Printing (2005). And you're reference is correct, per the God of Magic supernatural link, a Shifter can access lesser known forms of magic, with Temporal Magic a possibility, subject to GM discretion. If this has been updated in a later printin...

Nifty!

Try out the Demigod from Pantheons of the Megaverse. You can select psionic powers (all powers from 2 out of the 3 lesser power categories, or all from 1 lesser and 5 super psionics), and then you can select a magic OCC (I am very attached to the Temporal Wizard myself). You can also select one &quo...

I'd like to see Akashic's fondest experience in our Waywarer's of The Megaverse game! We've had quite a few so far, and I have some choice experiences myself, but I'm interested in your take AS.

Grand Paladin

For me, they are essentially the same. But how it's applied in context for the Archanist vs the Dragon that would be different. The Archanist's skill would apply to only the BTS setting/dimension, with any applicable difficulty penalties a GM might assign. The Dragon's skill, in my view would be Meg...

QUESTION #1: My answer ->
So long as I have enough advanced notice to take time off of work, no date is off limits, and again the price for the hotel is fairly competitive.

QUESTION #2: My answer ->
Heck YES there is fan interest!

Grand Paladin

Seconded!

I do love me some PW material... escpecially Pirates. In space. With lasers.

Grand Paladin

I don't think that accurately describes what the books say. The books say that only high level casters can learn Temporal magic if they're not one of the Temporal classes. Your description seems to lose the level requirement (I don't have my books, but as I recall the required level was 9). Also, I...

Grand Paladin

So what would you all consider the upper limit of a living creature to be affected by the Earth Elemental magic (or equivalent innate power) spell be? There is no size limitation or weight restriction in the spell description, although in the BoM, it does note that supernatural or creatures of magic...

First weekend, and conference room.

Grand Paladin

Hi all, I've also toyed with Rune Bows. So in the spirit of sharing, here is my particular creation. Although I intended these to be available on the Palladium Fantasy world, I've intentionally left the damage labels (SDC vs MD) out, as my intention would that the damage is scaled up or down based o...

I've found that Teleport: Lesser can be absolutely devastating when the caster has the right resources available. I've used various grenades and fusion blocks sent into armored vehicles, the middle of a raiding party of giants, or past force fields/magic fields. Having a Talisman of Teleport: Lesser...

Grand Paladin

Might make an appearance in Pantheon of the Megaverse as well (Though I don't think the gods of Ma'at make an appearance there, but it's been a while). But set isn't very difficult to picture, nor is Rifts the only place a classical Egyptian god is going to bee depicted. I'm sure a high school myth...

Witchcraft wrote:That's interesting. Why did you make a level 6 spell cost 1apm to cast?

For me, I think that I'd rule that the Temporal OCC's/RCC would be have this reduced casting benefit, and all other spellcasters have the standard 2 apm. But again, that's just me.

Grand Paladin

I agree with flatline on this. Reading the description of Time Slip, the first sentence describes the intent of the spell "momentarily suspends time.." The used word in the same sentence ".. slip seven seconds into the future." is poorly worded IMO, and should say 'emerge'. I als...

Particle beam weapons have historically been able to harm a person that has the innate ability to become intangible. This is presented in HU, HU2 if I recall correctly.

Temporal Wizards by their OCC description, states that they are taught the secrets of Temporal magic during their last year or so of appreticeship under the Temporal Raider. Since they also get a fair number of (at the time) R:MB Ley Line walker abilities, it's not a stretch to say that Temporal Wiz...

My picks from top down are:
Ley Line Walker, Ley Line Rifter, Shifter, Temporal Wizard, and Lord Magus.

I'd say that any character with the appropriate skills can repair, maintain and modify, or build robotics that we would see in our modern-day world, such as industrial robots, military drones and the like, as well as the commercially available robots, like that vacuum robot and the like.

I apologize if this has been answered previously, but I missed it.

I recall that the classic Robotech RPG had some Destroid weapons systems use a variety of dice for weapon damage. The RDF Excaliber had it's Particle Beam Cannon arms do 5D10+20 (or so) MD, while one of the TZ gun cluster weapons used a D8 for it's MD rating.

Grand Paladin

Game mechanics wise, I dont see how this could work. Cuz basically you are saying that the armor is stronger in battloid mode. Well, it could be something quite simple as a basic multiplier based on the mode of the Veritech mecha. Say the fighter configuration is the base armor strength, increase b...

Each bonus as called out is a different item. Lets take a look at all the parts of a character that combine or influence to put these together.

Psychics only use ISP to fuel psionic powers. PPE is used for magic spells and certain supernatural abilities as defined by race or class (if any). Mega Damage is equal to 100 SDC or Hit points and can (generally) only be damaged/affected by MD attacks. However, SDC or Hit Point items or creatures c...

Mainbook only seems very limiting. I have to agree you might talk to the glitterboy and make sure he know it will be hard to get repairs. Hmm agreed, i want to make sure its fun for him.

Grand Paladin

No, if a WP imparts a bonus to strike, throw, and also a disarm bonus, they would not stack with each other. For instance, a knife is used in melee range, the user of the knife is using it in-hand, not letting go and manipulating the blade in a skilled manner to cut where and how he/she wants the at...

Wow, a Dr. Zizmore reference! I haven't heard that name in nearly 10 years, ever since we left NYC. Ahh, memories.

Versus the recent casting of a Time Hole and Wink out... these spells are sending the caster into another (temporary) dimension. Does the Time Maelstrom prevent these spells from resolving, and instead the mage is subjected to the Distortion and Relocation tables only? If not, does the Distortion T...

There is a magic elixir found in Splynn Dimensional Market, under the description of the Water Merchant. A potion/elixir/whatever that grants a boost to a persons PPE reserve.
