I think there is something wrong with either the activation cost and/or the limitation of the talent Inferno Fist from DD. Warwolf? thank you!

Vidynn

good luck Warwolf!

my "wish-list" for new Nightbane-books:

more world info (outside the US would be GREAT) and history
more fully fleshed out adventures plus HLS

no more morphus-tables, talents, skills and factions. we got enough already.

who's responsible for placing Czernobyl in Russia, by the way?

aaaand? what's your say?

btw, "all nightbane are orphans" doesnt seem to be canon (anymore - if it ever was).

a player of mine created a Nightbane using the new rules in the NSG. she rolled one exceptional attribute, her PB and ended up with a 21, the other attributes being average. out of that she made the story of a young woman who is studying literature and uses her good looks to pay the rent by doing so...

Personally I think they just pulled a date out of the hat. me too - especially when considerung the two mistakes on pages 7 and 22 of the rulesbook that place DarkDay in May 2000. so, I guess, the author's first choice was May 7th before he changed it to March 6th. still, it is fun to find an in-ga...

Vidynn

funny, I had the same thought / question yesterday and looked at the various stuff happening on March 6th throughout history...or maybe it's a riddle (3 x 2[000] = 6]?

Shadows of Light, pg. 143: the german translation of "the Catacombs of Rome" should read "die Katakomben von Rom" (not: "die Katakomben aus Rom"). Nightbane Survival Guide, pg. 34: Franz Kafka was not a German by Nationality (he spoke german but was either Czech or Aust...

I would have preferred if priests were left out of MoM 1 at all - and got a book on their own! this is one of the few sections I was disappointed in (so far) - not because the material isnt good, but its just a tease and doesnt mix too well with the rest of the material presented.

Vidynn

hello, thanks a lot for answering a lot of my questions asked / points raised. I thought you might like to see something more than "awesome book" (although it boils down to this for me!). also, I think its important - even within the Palladium-fanbase - to tell people just how good this bo...

Vidynn

I dont want any all new realms nor a second book on a land already covered. instead Id like to see the Land of South Winds and the Old Kingdom covered!

Vidynn

the original is to be found on the album of the same title. the "Outside"-tour-live-Version I was talking about can be found on various live-CDs and it was also officially released on the "Strangers when we meet"-CD-single

Vidynn

oh yeah, the Q-manual is pretty good too!!

and I forgot Conspiracy X which can be played as a straight spy-game (but the setting is a lot richer if you do combine all the elements from conspiracies to aliens to horror and the supernatural...).

Vidynn

received my copy today!! yiha!

congratulations, Mr. Hall.

Vidynn

"The Man Who Sold the World" -- Nirvana for those who like a darker version of this Bowie-classic, the Man himself did an excellent version during his Outside-Tour. speaking of that, The Heart's Filthy Lesson is a song that should be on any Nightbane-soundtrack (if you dont have the Outsi...

Vidynn

oh yeah, forgot to mention the artwork: the cover painting is stunning - in my opinion the best since the rulesbook!! perfectly sets the mood. also, excellent work by Amy Ashbaugh, my new favorite PB-artist. beautiful, sad, creepy, all on one. on the other hand, I dont like the comic book style of a...

Vidynn

I like the James Bond RPG a lot! the mechanics are really good, the scenarios are stunning and the setting is excellent. of course, its a completely different cup of tea compared to NS&S...the two games have a quite different feel to them. like 'em both. both the rulesbook and the For your infor...

Vidynn

its a nice book...but thats it. I had hoped for more (and I defintely like bigger books better than thin ones...). also, too many tables for my taste.

Vidynn

pre-ordered it but still havent got it (Europe...)...

cant wait!!

Vidynn

after reading most of Book 5: Nightbane Survival Guide I want to congratulate the authors and the publisher, this is really a fine book, an important addition to the game and just the right book at the right time! to re-new interest in what I consider to be Palladium Books best and most interesting ...

Vidynn

yiha, got it and its fab!!!

I'm thinking about a mini-series combining Destiny's Call and Hell: Frozen over (both from the RIFTER) with some material from Mystic China and span a storyline from 1945 to the 1980s, battling supernatural forces and warring nations/factions. But hearing some GM-experience with Destiny's Call might...

Vidynn

no problem at all.

Vidynn

has any of you played/GMed this mini-campaign? what were you experiences with it? I think it looks promising.

Vidynn

seconded, Id buy any of those.

as for historical backgrounds not selling...Call of Cthulhu was a massive smash hit and was/is heavy on historical real world background.

Vidynn

uhm, in this thread I wrote "dated" NOT "dead"!

Vidynn

great idea, the "ordinary" people in BTS are still way too powerful and out -of-the-ordinary. must be KS's obsession with heroes. An obsession with heroes aint such a bad thing. of course not. but in a Horror-game I enjoy aspects of against all odds with a huge chance of failure, characte...

Vidynn

well, yes and no. yes, it is "dead", it wont be updated, it wont be supported with new books. but at the same time it will continue to live on, as long as we still play it (or at least talk about it.

Vidynn

yes, it is dated, as are all PB-systems.

but it still works, and is a fun game! (btw, I didnt click any of the answers - would go for "yes" but if they ever did an update my first choice would be background, not character creation!).

Vidynn

I honestly have no idea. I've heard of 2. yes, that sounds reasonable. and to be honest, while I am DYING to get new Palladium Fantasy-books, the idea of the MoM as series never appealed to me. one thick book would have been perfect. but, anyway, now its a series. I sure hope it doesnt share the fa...

Vidynn

The BtS sourse books are some of the most awaited they'd sell like hot cakes because we want them that bad. Supply and demand, this is in high demand but theres no supply. Im afraid BTS-2 sold really bad - take a look at Dead Reign, I guess it sold quite good or otherwise PB wouldnt have been that ...

The book that Kev green-lighted me on last year is a project that I've titled "Dark Designs." IF I end up writing it, the original concept is to add the Morphus Tables I didn't get done in time for the NSG (all my original work), several new Talents, and MAYBE some rough guidelines on how...

Vidynn

yiha!

Vidynn

it seems the stores around here stopped ordering Palladium's Books. no Dead Reign, no Nightbane, not even RIFTS or Robotech...

Vidynn

world books focusing on Europe, Africa, Asia...

two weeks rewriting Morphus-tables? what a waste!

"Pickman" is one of his finest stories and highly recommended!! creepy stuff and good for BTS!

it looks great!!!! for me, the most anticipated book in years.

Vidynn

I always played the LoSW like a Palladium-version of Northern Africa / Arabia. But China/India would make a nice reference too. I sure hope that when (if!) PB finally gets a sourcebook on the LoSW out, they make it less "fantasy generic" than say Timiro.

Vidynn

I'm not sure what you mean here, since if the adventure is ran as written, it's pretty much assumed that the characters are affiliated with the university and the Last Street community. If they aren't, they will likely be drawn, or directed there, in short order. The setting is used as much as the ...
