none of those rules have anything to do with Chaos Earth. There's no AR. CE zombies are MDC creatures. Unless it gets changed in editing, none of the Dead Reign rules are applied to Chaos Earth. It's an entirely different game with entirely different zombies and entirely different rules for those zo...

Ran a Chaos Earth game last weekend and mixed in Dead Reign. It was super fun. Mixing the two books (DR and CE) works nicely. Looking forward to this book. thanks! i wrote most of it before Dead Reign was around and after reading it I made sure not to cover any of the same ground. They'll be suffic...

well the wonderful thing about human teeth is that we have a few for any purpose! like prying off bottle caps and chewing aluminum foil and tearing spoiled meat!

RoadWarriorFWaNK

any weapon that doesn't get past an Armor Rating of 14....useless.

but srsly using your teeth on a zombie would be the worst

Wasn't it that he was at an event at a border city when a major gargoyle army attacked? I don't have my book handy but I recall it was thousands of gargoyles against the locals and his bodyguards. this sounds about right shapechange spells (remember the NGR does not have dogboys or psistalkers, so ...

Tor wrote:What a loser, how do you even manage getting killed by a Gargoyle?

that's a good question. How do you sneak gargoyles inside the NGR for a presidential assassination?

there's some canon Madhaven loot info in Rifter #36 that would probably fit well into your campaign.

So for the last year and a half I have been running deathwatch. One of the things I really love about their system is the horde combat. Where a few players can stand against and even destroy an onslaught of enemies. It created some very heroic moments in gameplay. So curious. Does rifts have any ru...

Ok so i keep seeing the free lance authors saying they turned in how long does it typically take to go from manuscript to book on the shelf. Just curious really want to see when Chaos Earth First Responders might be seeing the shelf. If you want to see more books for lines like Chaos Earth, you sho...

I got it to make sure i'm not writing any of the same stuff for my own Dead Reign manuscript. It's pretty good over all. Indispensable if you're playing a Reaper, or if you're running a group with Reapers, or if you're fighting against Reapers. No new OCCs, but there are some skill specialties for R...

RoadWarriorFWaNK

Nice! I'm kind of new to how Palladium works with freelance writers and their material, but will it be a novel of some sort? Personally, I'm asking because if it takes off I would definitely buy a copy. Though in the meantime, I am looking forward to future sourcebooks as well. Hopefully your work ...

RoadWarriorFWaNK

I'm doing a new book for Dead Reign.
I'm planning on finishing it before the end of the summer, and hopefully it will see a fall or winter release.
If you guys like it then pester Kevin about the Chaos Earth zombie book I wrote. Been waiting on that one for a while now.

RoadWarriorFWaNK

i like this concept a lot.
I love hard survival games.

There is also some canon Madhaven material in Rifter 36: treasure tables, new OCCs, Darkhounds, and TW Gear

RoadWarriorFWaNK

No problemo! Mostly my tastes run towards Anne MCCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, Larry Niven, etc. I can handle the zombie genre, it's just not my fave and "Dumpster Buddies", for me, is too akward feeling. Having said that, Keep Going !!! There are more readers (just on these boards alone) tha...

RoadWarriorFWaNK

Nope. Sorry to say this doesn't catch my fancy at all. The story line is too dry and the pacing is slower than molasses in January, that and I'm not really a fan of the zombie genre and the other stories just didn't catch my interest. Plus, I felt let down by Triax 2 and Madhaven. cool, man. thanks...

Oh man I know we love those ebooks don't we. Rifts fans, Taylor White's new book THERE WERE NO SURVIVORS is now available on Kindle. On the cheap because I know about these hard economic times.

Rifter 3 had some Mystic China Coversions for Rifts, and some other stuff. Rifter 50 had some expanded combat rules. probably more, but thats all I know of.

p.59 of Triax 2 talks about CS state-produced beer.

they work just like the Xiticix weapons. you add in Mega-Damage punches. regular PS damage bonus doesn't apply because it's SDC damage. I think normal, but I don't have the book in front of me.

i like what you have going on here. Except for this: A word about soap operas Group dynamics means getting the group to mold together. Petty differences, squabbles, and the like is an interesting side show but never the focal point of the group. Deal with bigger themes that drive people crazy like p...

Well, obviously my group does, but I take your point. It's depressing how jaded GMs and Players alike get. I remember hearing about a player complaining that the gun he salvaged "only" did 6d6 M.D. ***?! i'm not talking about weapon damage or power gaming in general. I'm talking about put...

Number crunching I find it funny that a Pseudo-man with the great speed and reflexes trait will make him the equal to a crazy (minus the psionics). Given the attitude some of the mutants have for 'normal' humans, it makes an amusing hook for a mutant outside Madhaven. "You may think of me as o...

Excuse the threadomancy, but I'm unable to find the answer and thought that I'd just add it here rather than start a new thread.
