I really like this.

Trooper Jim

I was working on this exact same thing years ago. It seemed like a good progression for the concept.

Trooper Jim

I think you could make a pretty good representation of a Special Operator using the Veteran Grunt or Acadamy Officer OCC from N&SS, especially if you use the stuff from the Rifter #25.

Here’s how mine shook out. I just wanted to give the Mythic Emulator a spin, so I set up a quick adventure. The set up was a basic hostage rescue mission. A friend of the PC had a family member kidnapped by a local street gang. The PC, Dave the mutant koala, started conducting surveillance of the ga...

Awesome session. I ran a quick TMNT solo adventure awhile back also. As for the promotion thing, she wouldn't be promoted t detective based on 1 arrest, Detective is a job, not a rank. Kinda like SWAT. But she could have already taken the test and they were going to make her a detective due to her s...

Here it is. I DID NOT MAKE THIS, but I cannot remember who did. If someone knows I would love to give them credit. Note: Secondary skills were intentionally omitted (except for Pilot Automobile where appropriate). Thus if a GM wants to “power up” one of the villains with physical skills then he or s...

I have a word document with a bunch of "generic" NPC stat blocks. I actually got it from the boards, somewhere.

Trooper Jim

It should never be difficult to kill an individual zombie. The real threat is when they are in a large groups.

Trooper Jim

That isn't sooo far away.

Trooper Jim

Is there a map in the book, or did I just miss it?

Trooper Jim

I am looking for a game in the Seattle area.

This is all the explanation the mods have deigned to provide. Asking further has proven fruitless.

Typical response. "We just did it, and I am locking the thread" crap.

Got insider for the PDF. Chose 2 In memory: for my Dad who passed from Alzheimer's in 2017 & another friend who passed in 2018 at only 37 from a heart attack. The friend was in my first adult RIFTS group, and Dad was in a PFRPG game with me, along with playing the VERY memorable Court Martial a...

This would be a fun campaign.

I thought I was supposed to mentioned somewhere in the book, guess not. Oh well.

They said this would be the case a long time ago. It's not their fault you didn't read that.

No need to be a rude jerk.

Why is the book out in physical for BEFORE the inside PDF has been sent out?

Trooper Jim

I went through that with my parents back in the day.

Please buy the books.

Trooper Jim

It was a lot more like the Walking Dead when it was written. I'm sure that's true. I had to house-rule zombie head SDC to make it more logical, as well as a few other things to do with weapons which were a bit inaccurate. Aside from that, fun game. The rules as printed are ridiculous. I also despis...

Does anyone else use the material in Rifter 25 for their N&SS games? Also what other Rifter materials do you use, if any?

The quote that says they can is not in vampire kingdoms it is in murder wrath right up in juicer uprising. You are asking for quotes to prove they can hurt murder wraths, the quote is in the juicer uprising. Reproduce the quote you're referring to? The one I created the thread about only referred t...

How is writing up an ACTUAL PERSON a policy violation? JFC!

Looks cool

This month's BOH is most of the HU books.

Very cool

Trooper Jim

Also the Special Forces OCC in the Mercenaries book, works good.

Trooper Jim

P.S. I hate the Tomorrow Legion.

Trooper Jim

So, someone on another forum disliked that there was a deemphasis on playing Coalition troops in SR. My suggestion was to use the MARS classes to emulate Coalition troops, adding a Vow while giving them access to sweet CS gear. Anyone have other suggestions? My suggestion is: don't play CS troops. ...

Trooper Jim

I hate it. It is an annoying attempt to railroad PC into the writer's vision of how people should play the game. It is intended to impose his personal morality on the players.

Trooper Jim

I will most likely be picking this up.

Trooper Jim

I am sorry for your loss.

Trooper Jim

This is why I tend to view the creation rules as more guidelines. Because the zombies are so stupidly overpowered, I don't care if the PCs are also a little min maxed.

Trooper Jim

I actually had purchased a hard copy of the book when I was informed I wouldn't be getting the PDF. I picked up my 2nd copy, after my wife misplaced my first copy. And now that I found my original book, I have 2 copies. I only recently noticed my name because I am working on a campaign and was equip...

I bought a copy, actually I bought 2.

Sweet map.

This is a strange situation. So back when Palladium was doing the crowd funding for the book, I donated money, enough to receive the PDF copy. Well when the book was released, i never got my PDF. I emailed PB and spoke with someone about it. I gave them my name and email. I was told that their was n...

This is a very cool idea.

Very cool news, man!

Trooper Jim

I ignore that rule. All bonuses apply to all creatures. Zombies individually shouldn't be hard to kill, where you get screwed is when you run into groups of them.

Trooper Jim

I tend to ignore both the Zombie stats and the weapons stats. Since both were written by people with a crappy understanding of either. I prefer the stats from the Rifter article myself.

Trooper Jim

Why would you need permission to run a game? The only difference is you are doing it via a virtual tabletop, you aren't creating a video game right?

Trooper Jim

I really dislike the playing card mechanic, I hope that there is an option for a strictly dice only system.

Trooper Jim

And more importantly, why are are we arguing about this crap? It is what you want it to be. If you don't want it to be the past of Rifts, then, for you , it isn't.

Trooper Jim

I am rather excited about this!

Trooper Jim

I was wondering why I couldn't find any legal pdfs of (most of) the Rifts stuff. And I think it is stupidity. Rifts is a great setting but even if I had the shelf-space for the entire collection it is plainly speaking more than just a drag to lug around more than two or three books when you play. A...
