I have had three characters run through the Tombs of Gersidi three times successfully and each time I have walked out with the doubling sword and Deathkiss. I have yet to find the Hammer of Jejua (sp?). Regardless, I have never had issue with keeping Deathkiss. Currently, within the context of my ga...

Palladium Fantasy is only alive and well if after you finish your work on the book Kevin gets his self in gear and gets it to the printer. The last book was Bizantium and was a good read, but it was only one book after so many years of waiting and drooling for it to make an appearance. I am hoping L...

Janus

Always done all bonuses and the D6 roll.

Janus

I prefer the Alpha. No other reason than I used to have all three of the original transformable Alpha toys from back in the day.

Janus

Even if the game didn't go belly-up used minis find their way to eBay. There's no automatic negative connotation to that. Ain't that the truth. I bolstered my Space Marines with Assault on Black Reach models for sick cheap. Also there is BarterTown.com where people buy and sell miniatures all the t...

Janus

I will take it to my friend's house and have a few quick games. I doubt they will buy into it, but I figure there would be no need as it would have all we would need to play anyway. Beyond that it will prolly go ontomy shelf like most of my other miniatures from Warhammer to Rackham. There are only ...

Janus

I pledged 140. The models look good, the game play from the vid looked pretty cool as well. If nothing else then it will be just one more miniature game I have. And I do mean one of many.

I hope it does well. I would love me some of the other era models.

Janus

I always treated shields as a free paired weapon for the classes that get them to start instead of having to buy them outright from available skills. Some people like the Mad Martigan way of combat (dual wield) and some prefer sword and board. I never messed with the shield other than saying it take...

Janus

You left out the idea of an ambidextrous character, obviously that is an easy figure out on how to use weaponry. As for rules on r/l handedness. There are no rules for it in real life so I would say this should be a player preference thing. They just say I am this hand and when time comes for the tr...

Janus

Wow a lot to think about. Imay keep everything Recon pure for a bit unless the group survives and then maybe try a conversion. Sounds like an awesome system /setting.

Janus

Cool deal.

On average how long does a campaign take?

Janus

Got the bug eh?

I just read through the cutting room floor material. Very interesting stuff. I like the creation rules and the MOS rules.

Yeah this is on my need to get list.

Janus

Sounds like I will need to go deluxe then...I was wondering about the differences.

To the cutting room floor I go to check some of that material out.

Viet Nam era and early 80's is not a problem actually.

Thanks.

Janus

But I am not sure where to start. What to expect. What are the game mechanics like? Classes? Stats? Is it closely related to Palladium Games? Is it completely different? There is a copy at a gmae shop I go to and everytime I see it I reach out to buy, but never do. Am I missing out here? Can someone...

Janus

i used to have a ranger in that other game who used a hand axe and a light mace. I have also had a ranger in that other game use paired long swords. In Palladium I had a ranger who used paired Katanas.

Janus

Sweet! Proof positive that being a PB freelancer does drive you crazy.

I say it with love.

Janus

Sweet a beta, finally a beta (although i think there is an earlier beta toy out there). I am not sure my bank account can handle all the geek goodies that are coming out.

Janus

Got to get me some of that action.

Janus

What was the continuity error there. I saw Janice and I saw Ariel and they seemed to have nothing changed about them at all...except for a closer view.

Janus

Lol, funniest song parody ever.

Well on these boards. Weird Al watch out.

Janus

I still hold that in the context of the game the CS is not an evil entity. They are doing what they feel is necessary, an end justifies the means. This can translate into an evil alignment. But this is Rifts Earth and not ours. iN our world our scientists would jump at a chance to make friends. In t...

Janus

It is funny that we villainize the CS when we make heroes of Will Smith who happened to destroy all the aliens when they invaded. But the aliens attacked first. Ok they did, but I am going to guess that any more alien contact on THAT Earth is going to be met at the muzzle of a barrel. CS acts the sa...

Janus

The rules set The skills list THE MAGIC AND PSI SYSTEM IS VASTLY SUPERIOR. Parry and dodge anyone. Monsters as PCs without having to worry about CR. More Role play friendly versus Roll Play of the other games. Experience system makes more sense. I could go on and on, but that would take up too much ...

Janus

I allow all races the enhanced stat roll if they fall into their max roll for that stat. Got to be too many whiners at the table not too.

Janus

Preference is Human Ranger or Human Soldier. They both offer the least in OCC benefits allowing me to truly create an exceptional character without having to rely on OCC "gifts". Actually I do like the plain janedness.

Janus

All very nice, love them all.

I generally only ever play humans in PF (or any) games. They lack in all respects to all the other races in any system. In other words, they are only good for playing if you want a challenging game, otherwise they are sword bait. Sword bait with access to Tien Hsueh Touch Mastery and Snake Style Ku...

Janus

thing is the npc with force field generation is a tough foe even for the rest of the party...remember force fields now are MDC constructs...and the amount of mdc is equal to his PE x 100...assuming an average roll of 3.5 per die results in a score of 11 thats 1100 mdc...now seeing as I am a sick, t...

A damaged but not destroyed SAMAS would take time to repair. Having reserves means that while one is repaired a new one is in the sky. That is why they have dust collectors. The United States Army of Today doesn't have 3,000,000 Tanks, let's get real here. I never once claimed that the US military ...

AH this is the news I have been officially waiting to hear from the Big K himself. Sweet!

Janus

you could always boil it, mash it and/ or stick it in a stew.

Janus

Hrmmm...I will probably have to do the "whatever they wanna play aproach" knowing my players. One of them is not about restrictions of any sort and another is of the mind "why play palladium if I cannot play a giant". Sounds like your players might need to become more flexible a...

Janus

Cool ideas guys, thanks. What is te best type of party to run in this game? Are parapsychologists and negas good to have or is it more inclined to needing the major psions or is a mixture the best way to go? i know it is mostly GM style and game play preference, but from experience what is the best ...

Janus

I suppose I will try to bring something in from NB. I have a friend who may have those books. He has helped adjust things before and might be able to help with this. Has anyone done an adventure where they investigated something like the Virgin mary in toast or the crying/ bleeding statues? If so ho...

Janus

Unfortunately do not have any of the Nightbane books. There was a hoss auction for some on ebay a short while ago, but i was at work when it ended and I was unable to get a bid in. At most I have Palladium Fantasy wizard.

Janus

Ok, here it is. For the Christmas in July I requested and had delivered to me the BTS 2ed. Now I am stuck. I watch horror movies and Dean Koontz and of King and so can think of interesting adventures, but none that I think would be truly spooky. Also there is the matter of strange phenomenon that ha...

Janus

You know you can't please everyone when you give something a face lift. [/quote] Yeah just ask Zsa Zsa. Seriously though, as long as it says Robotech by PAlladium it can be those scrunched up little kid mecha that talk like in Gundam SD and I will be happy Ok, that may go a bit to far even for me.

Janus

Ha sweet a sig line!

Janus

I do not envy the guy who writes it because he will have all these expectations to meet. And if he fails he will have to answer to RSCF.

Janus

I do not care who writes em just as long as they write them...and then sign em for me.

Janus

HA, just gives me time to save up cash for it.

Janus

Cyclones as presented in the RPG's are da bomb, baby. Not munchkin at all.

Janus

If it means shelling out a few 1000 dollars to keep book sales up to retain the license count me in.

Janus

Sure, doesn't everyone?

Janus

Finally some news on what was intimated at Origins.
