I've often wondered if Deevils, Devilkin, Pandemoniums and Nexus Deevils could mimic someone's appearance exactly. I'm inclined to think they could, but I don't remember now if they can. Anyone remember if that was addressed anywhere?

Hey, let's turn the Russians back into Communists I was reading through getting caught up, saw that, and thinking about current goings on. Made me chuckle a bit. Maybe it wasn't as crazy as it sounded? Carry on. As far as i can tell everyone has agreed that sexism, racism and any*ism is bad. Howeve...

Was 50 the one with the Zodiac Mage? I absolutely loved that one. Such a fun class, and that great art work!

Jerell

Glad you had a good time. I hope conditions are right, and I can go to the next one, whenever that ends up being.

Just an observation here. For background, I'm a paramedic, working in an ER since 2005, apart from Army Deployments here and there. I was the first to volunteer to go into the hot zone to treat patients at my Hospital ER when it all first started, I was press ganged later to work ICU and ICU overflo...

TLDR this post but I have one trail of thought. If you add a spike to a tank track and run me over I dont think the spike is going to create that 1D6 exact damage, the being squashed by a tank overrides it. I can see that. When you're already flat as a pancake, whether it's piercing or straight up ...

I also think you might adapt the Proficiency Bonus to PF; rather than the discrete bonuses per WP, you could simply use the Proficiency Bonus, with increases at specific levels. You might even entirely replace hand to hand skills with them, but I think that would be more difficult and less rewardin...

I do like the look of that modified ship. Is that an SDF looking bridge on the top center, or just some kind of sensor array?

Jerell

I'm definitely interested to know. I'm not sure it's ever been directly addressed. I could easily see it either way personally, Mark makes a good argument. It may be one of those things that just come down to GM preference. Still interested to know what the original intent is though. Also, I would b...

I quite agree. Tattoo magic for dimension/world jumping makes sense and was sorely needed, and high base PPE is kind of needed for it. I'm in agreement also with Tsunami on the temporary PE drain. It's a good and reasonable mechanic. It was just good all around. Though I still like the Atlantean Dri...

In my current campaign, set in the Thundercloud, I feel absolutely free to GM up whatever I'm I the mood for. It's very liberating, even to me a long time PFRPG and Robotech GM. That said, to give direction, there's a web of intrigue that's usually the backdrop behind adventure arcs. I actually have...

Something I've always wondered. When a hatchling changes into a human form, do they always look the same? I can think of at least one Dragon where the humanoid/elf form is described in a Rifter. Kind of makes me think when they take the form of something, like human or bunny, they should look like a...

Old Kingdom late 2018 would be great, I'd settle for anytime 2019. Probably some year post 2020 though...

Should be one of the easiest in recent memory. A lot is already done for you. I don't have it front of me at the moment, however I recall the spells and monsters I've looked at thus far listing both SDC and MD/MDC. Maybe a few of the weapons (e.g. Crystal laser pistol) may require conversion. Have y...

Jerell

Yes. Shadow magic, crystal magic, new magic tattoos, monsters, Atlantean structures, ect. Since Atlanteans and are uber dimensional explorers, they could be dropped in a campaign on those worlds easy even by the stock story line.

Jerell

I am enjoying the book immensely... I was hoping for more of the excellent set of RIFTER articles, The Black Crusade, authoured by Andrew Lander. I enjoyed these stories and settings alot. I see that there are some of his creations in this book, but not many, and it leads me to believe that most we...

2019. I would prefer PB to concentrate on getting new releases out this year. Open House post wave 2 would be for the best, I feel.

Yes. Both of those. Especially a UWW book.

It was awesome, it was not uncommon to face down a battalion of regular Orcs/goblins/kobalds/bandits then a boss or large monster or two per adventure (not unlike some episodes of Slayers actually). There was lots of Havock unleashed in that campaign, I mean when A-ko and Lina Inverse roll into your...

Back in the mid to late 90s I ran in a Palladium fantasy campaign that was only anime characters. The main group was playing as the crew for the anime Slayers, so we had Lina, Gourry, Zel, Amelia, Slyphiel and the like. Also had some people play Ryoga Hibiki from Ranma, Inu-Yasha from the manga of t...

I did create a pleasure colony planet for my 3G/Thundercloud campaign. Was honestly quite fun as a GM. I've ran a few adventures through there. Since it was a colony in the TC Galaxy it only has one large city, so it wasn't that hard to create and figure out. The capital planet of the UWW would be a...

Jerell

Honestly, I love the Sand Dragon hatchling, even at level one. There's just something about being obsessed with building sand castles, structures and monuments, and then being able to turn them into MD structures that I find appealing to play. I mean, I like dragon hatchlings in general, but the san...

You can have lots of Pyramids near each other, even in one city. Standard Lemurian cities Have one Master Pyramid (Being the primary point of control and distribution of energy) and 16 other pyramids, all in a network. That allows all of them to "tap into the pyramid powers which are normally a...

Very well sir. I shall endeavor to read it in the next week and report back, though I may not have a critical eye that you're looking for.

Jerell

I've been meaning to read it. Maybe by the end of this coming week. Where you the author?

Jerell

I was wondering if anyone knows if the author of an article in Rifter 57 about dimensional bottles, N. D. T. Lyons, is ever on these forums? I was rereading the author's article and was loving it. If he's around here I wanted to find him to say, first of all, thanks for a great article. Secondly I h...

Jerell

Very cool, and good timing with the SW rifts in the works.

Jerell

I was at the last Open House and that was fantastic. But there's a whole forum subsection on that. There was the Penguicon 2015, that stands out to me. Not a huge amount of gamers there so I was able to talk to Jeff Burke and Chuck Walton about gaming/anime for hours. Meanwhile, my father (who has d...

If your gun is 10 feet long, you can't shoot someone 2 feet from your shoulder because the gun extends further. PJ is absolutely right, this makes perfect sense. Sure you can fire in melee, but you still need to have the weapon aimed at your target if you want to hit that target. If you can't point...

Jerell

You should run a pack of DB Goblin bandits attacking a farming village ala Seven Samurai.

Jerell

I didn't hear that. That sounds good to me. Heck I've been toying around with the idea of running Palladium Fantasy with savage world rules. Just to see how it goes.

With the expanded player's guide, Pinnacle's estimate is early to mid July for the pdfs to be delivered, with a physical reward delivery in November or December.

Already greatly looking forward to it.

Jerell

Indeed. I wonder if they'll end up doing any other Rifts stuff for Savage Worlds given the successful kickstarter? I may be jumping the gun, but I'd love to see a savage world version of Atlantis and Lemuria, or dare I say, Mechanoids.

Jerell

Didn't the guy on the cover of the Western Empire book have some (ironically) eastern looking swords?

Jerell

I see what you mean. That makes sense. However, I also find it interesting that the same book says Magic Shield can parry energy blast, with a negative modifier. I may also look at Robotech Southern Cross, I seem to remember (though it's been a long time since I looked at it) that they could 'parry'...

Jerell

Hmmmm... That is a good question. Can you teach something you've never really done, and can not do, but know how to do? Maybe. I could see it go either way. You could at least teach the theory, would that be good enough? I have no idea. But it's Yggdrasil, so why not?

Jerell

That's a good catch. I always thought of cyber-armor as an "under the skin" armor that isn't immediately obvious to the casual observer, bonded to things like the rib cage, skull, that sort of thing. Now that I think about it, though, that would mean that a player would take SDC damage eve...

Jerell

Thank you all for the input, after consideration, I'll definitely be running that Psi Shields can block ranged attacks in my game. Shields should be viable, like in Hackmaster. Taking cover behind a shield should be a thing, if it covers most of your body from a direction, I think you should get cov...

Jerell

On the topic of Cyber Armor, something I've always wondered. After a Cyber Knight gets the armor (male or female), are they capable of having children after that? Just seems like if it was no, that could be a reason some would refuse the armor... I should note, nowhere that I can remember does it sa...

Jerell

Anyone have any idea why Psi Shields can't parry projectile/ energy blast? It just seems to me, if you were holding it in front of you, it should protect you from that direction, close combat or ranged attack. Even some limits like the one magic shield I could deal with, but no chance to parry range...

Jerell

Well that's good to hear.

Jerell

I agree. I'm happy about the expanded book, I really wanted to have all that PDF stuff in a book. After that it's all extra icing on the cake. One Sheets as stretch goals is fine with me. I don't want them to get too overloaded.

Jerell

As long as it gets over 300k I'll be happy, I'm hoping for the expanded book. Now if someone could just make some cool new cyber knight, deadboy and leyline walker minis...

Jerell

The location is strange. I do hope they change it before release as it's a very strange and poor choice to locate the fortress. I am in agreement with this. Lazlo, or Wyoming, or somewhere in that area would seem a better choice... Now that I think of it, maybe the creators choose to keep it more e...

Jerell

Comparing it to other SW kick starters, I'd say it's wildly succeeding because of Palladium's popular and well developed property. It seems like that, mixed with a fairly low on the number crunch system, will make a good mix.

Jerell

That cover art looks really good.

Jerell

I would do something like, follow a small group of heroes, definitely include a Cosmo knight, a CCW Wolfen, UWW magic user (like a star elf shifter, or Atlantean Drifter), maybe space pirate/smuggler/commando from FWC. Season 1 - adventures around the corkscrew building to Forge war (introduce all t...

Jerell

I had always thought the UWW might be able to come up with some kind of experimental one shot AT-4 or Panzerfaust like weapon with Annihilate for the Warlock Marines. I have thought that would be cool in limited numbers. Annihilate cannons on starships or rail artillery seems doable to me as well. I...
