If I do, I'll just keep it for my personal use then. Might submit it to Palladium and they can do something with it then. It would be a strange way to ostracize their fan base though. All I'm trying to do is help build a cohesive resource. I don't see how it could hurt anyone when people can do it t...

I plan on getting it as up to date as possible.

I'm actually working on converting the MadDog Skill List PDF and converting it to a .docx. I'm about half way through with what's currently in the book and am hoping to find people to transcribe skills released after it's initial publication and or help me with the legal boilerplate in the beginning...

Could Rifter 0 become a living document to be modified as new information comes out such as additional skills become available or would that have to be a brand new Rifter 00 or some such?

It's been condensed down to 88 pages during the conversion. I'm messing around with the font size a bit. I am working on page 42 right now and most of the way through the physical skills. Does anyone have any questions? I've noticed I've garnered a bit of attention from the number of views.

After going through this for a bit, I'm realizing that some of the text didn't copy over to the right column. I will have to edit and figure out where this goes as I'm working on this. (Banging head against my desk.) I'm not good with the legal speak and acknowledgements if someone could either poin...

I don't know if it's verboten, but I obtained a copy of his 6.5 version and converted it to a Word 2013 Doc and I'm working on cleaning it up and updating it. I plan on doing a few pages a day just for cleaning it up and then I'll try to maintain going through a book or two a day of what I have for ...

Will we ever see a Rift Index Vol. 3? Best of Rifter Vol. 2? Palladium Fantasy Index? Nightbane Index? A book devoted entirely to skills from across the Megaverse?

Reno/Tahoe area. Plentiful water supply, native wildlife for food, stable weather patterns. It wouldn't be high on a list of potential targets in case a war does break out.

1. How old will you be when The Great Cataclysm comes? 117 2. Where do you think you will be? Pensacola, Fl or an orbital station around Earth 3. What do you think your survival chances are to survive the first 24 hours? In a coastal city? Not so much. On an orbital station? Fair to middling. 4. Ass...

I'm just suggesting it as a jumping off point. It's the GM who has the final say as to who or what carries over from the real word to the game. By giving a bit of information to help other people know about what might not be known about the area, they can help create a richer world for the players.

mellowmaveric

Well, there is the reserve fleet that is in the Delta. I'm sure it would expand over the years between now and the coming of the Rifts.

One of these days, I'll go through and list skills and HTH by book for you. Just something that bugs me about this list. Will probably take 2 or 3 days but, having a reference list for that lone would make it worth it for me.

mellowmaveric

Shhhhhh. Not supposed to talk about Manhunter.

mellowmaveric

Ultimately, it's up to the GM's discretion. You could have undergone more than one experimental treatment, had a diverse bloodline or just hit the genetic jackpot.

mellowmaveric

I'm curious as to what will be converted going both ways. Will this give Palladium access to more writers to help catch up with late projects? I don't really see any special licenses they might bring on board other than Deadlands. I'm curious as to what brought this about and if one of the companies...

The volcanic ash in the area would also help fertilize the land. Much of the land has lain fallow so, it has plenty of room for a bountiful harvest. Black Rock, Nv could be a location of a nexus. Burning Man and all that. I would love to spitball ideas some time with anyone if your up for it. Drop m...

It's just nice to give my ideas and observations to other people. It does help that I would like to see California sunk in to the sea. Maybe a portion has become a demon controlled ammusment park. They have enough of those.

Demand the first born child that they give birth to of a male character and then give them a gender swapping item.

As a native of the Bay Area, a survivor of the quake of 89' and now a resident of Reno, I see plenty of opportunities for ideas. Reno is now pushing to become the new tech hub for companies. With the Tesla Giga Factory among other things setting up in the area, Burning Man (ugh) and other local even...

While I voted for stories, the choice of five subjects seemed rather limited to me. Having updated maps of Rifts Earth, Super Heroes/Villains by region, state, city and country, cities level of paranormal activity, the break down of people of a hierarchy in an organization, fan fiction, stats for ch...

mellowmaveric

Laminated maps to pin on a wall for different campaigns as reference points. A world map, maps of different territories, a removable ley line overlay, borders, spheres of influence.

mellowmaveric

I guess just being in the Army for 6 years and having parents who were Navy officers gets me in a certain mindset for these things.

mellowmaveric

It would be nice to see a concise ROE (rules of engagement) outline for each group. A better description of the borderlands, points of contention, what races are caught in the so called "neutral zones", local commanders, fleet strengths, smugglers, the local black market, avoiding local dr...

mellowmaveric

Well if it is a black site depository then I would imagine it would be overseen by an A.R.C.H.I.E. type A.I. and defenses galore. A small production facility powered by a reactor that uses the waste left over from our horrid past.

mellowmaveric

I have heard mention of the book several times. Progress not so much. Just figured I would offer some ideas for when more work is actually nailed down for the book. I moved to Nevada last year so my interest in the area has blossomed. Not much has been said about the north west in general. Primary f...

mellowmaveric

That sounds like a recipe for all kinds of bad ju-ju. Just because he has taken it off the list does not mean it could be reactivated later for the original intended use.

mellowmaveric

When the Black Market book is done, which I'm assuming is including Area 51 and Vegas, Yucca Mountain should be included since it is designed to be a repository for the nuclear waste for the Eastern sea board. In addition Northern Nevada should be included because it has no strategic value. There is...

mellowmaveric

Is there an accual time table or concept of when the new Mechanois book will be done because we have been able to pre order it going on for a few years now which im sure many fans are waiting for.

mellowmaveric

personaly i think it all depends on the type of weapon. if it is a combustion weapon with bullets ie regular hand gun or rail gun has an ammount of kick to it and so will be increasingly inaccurate with each folowing shot at a spesfic target. lazer weapons would not have a kick and i dont imagine pa...

mellowmaveric

Would it apply to vibroblades or any other high tech weapon not projectile/energy based?

mellowmaveric

The boards are so full now maby its time to start spesfic folders for content related to the CS, Triax, Asia, Australia, South America, etc. The dificulty of scrolling through and finding relivant information to a question you might post has become rediclous and breaking it down while it might be a ...

mellowmaveric

why would it be in the bullet? that sounds like a waste to me. i was thinking of the computer being able to adjust the balance of the gun by adjusting its weight to different sides making your shots more accurate so you dont have to worry about trajectory once it has left the barrel it could be prep...

mellowmaveric

are you talking about a gun with a minature on board ai making minute adjustments to each shot you make for targeting enemy combatants? then yes its rifts anything is posible

mellowmaveric

didnt they have one of these on andromeda?

mellowmaveric

The only good enemy combatant is a dead enemy combatant.

mellowmaveric

graphic novels?

mellowmaveric

you need to read the comics not watch the craptastic cartoon

lets see green lantern versus 10 rings and fing fang foom who the mandirin could summon with the power of the rings

mellowmaveric

What is it with everyone and rings lately? Anywho this reeks of the Mandirin from Iron Man. Personaly my favorite finger is my nose picking finger.

mellowmaveric

Personaly i would prefer the Furry Fangirl to the Furry Fanboy occ
1. they smell better more of the time
2. they have better taste generaly
3. they generaly look better

mellowmaveric

They should make a Gramercy Island 2: The New Phish. Outlining new inmates, how things are going on with the warden and a more detailed outline of some of the experiments they have prisoners voluntering for.

mellowmaveric

Well if they are going to smoke to stall for time they might as well paste on a beard for stroking and looking wise while thinking.

Splyncryth has more domains than just atlantis.

Maby its just me or is everyone forgetting about the Lone Star Facility? Bio Weapons. Mass armys of cloned dog boys. A bio bomb NGR wide with montazumas revenge? They can inoculate all the cs troops. So far as i know NGR does not have much experience with medical field as the CS does. Yes they have ...
