Well, I was wondering what category do shields fall in for magic enchantments? Are the armor or weapons? Greetings and Salutations. This question has come up before, and my stance is this: 1. W.P. Shield is an official skill, and W.P. stands for"Weapon Proficiency." 2. Shields do not poss...

No - because that would be uncouth. I have to agree with The Dark Elf. For the same reason that Wolfen and other intelligent canines would likely not routinely mount and pantomime mating with someone just to assert their dominance, I doubt they would use scent marking when they're capable (intellec...

Goblin-Jack

That's a good question, but one I would address as a GM by taking the opportunity to create a noble or other official, royal administrator to serve in the roll of overseeing the City of Nisi. Good luck and enjoy! (alternatively, this could be an opportunity to offer your own solution as a contributi...

As a variation on one of your suggested course of action, why not donate the animals to a church (or cult), let them sacrifice the animals and process the carcasses as they see fit, so long as they agree to give you the bones. That way they do all your dirty work, but also get the benefit of a sacri...

Fair enough. I figure it might behoove them to make a note to fix it in future editions. Smiling_Bandit - Has in's with a lot of deities, some of them don't even realize it It's good to bring these typos up, but I think it's best if you put it into a helpdesk message (m); that way it will go direct...

Would you allow eyes of Thoth to break encryption. No. Please expand on your one word answer. NMI is back and feeling frisky! Btw, I agree with the answers above; EoT would not crack an encryption, but a priest of Thoth could, via direct appeal, ask for Thoth to crack it through them (emphasis on &...

Latest weekly update states, the 2E Yin-Sloth Jungles book will be from 192-224 pages, with Kevin putting a lot more material into it, beyond even that which the freelance manuscript included. Island at the Edge of the World should also get the same treatment, as he also explicitly states "We a...

Because of this, the system, and company - as has been said in other threads is slowly bleeding out. We know this is true just looking at their release schedule, and some of the hideous delays. It either needs to change its MO, or die. Rogerd1, this is a tired argument that many people have made fo...

I think if they want it to be all one game system then they should get rid of MDC altogether and update all the PF books to second edition. There should be no need to convert anything from one setting to the next. Kevin has two updated, 2E manuscripts for Yin-Sloth Jungles and Islands at the Edge o...

Land Sculpt is done , and I've taken a stab at the climate gradients and water effects. Here's the current version. I still have to add in the forests/jungle and ley lines, and I'll probably do some tweaking (especially with the water effects), but the bare geography is nearly done. +I've put deser...

Listening to the recent System Mastery episode informed me that Palladium Fantasy RPG is a game that exists. Would anyone like to share their experiences playing that? I always hear about how RIFTS itself is (hilariously) broken and/or overwrought. Does this game suffer from that same fate as well?...

Reading through Island at the Edge of the World, wish I had this years ago. While I probably won't use 95% of it, very evocative. Per Kevin at the Palladium Open House last April, he has a manuscript for an updated, 2E version of Island, so at some point we'll see that coming out (no release date m...

But with the Western Empire already fully described, Khemennu must be somewhere else. Same goes for putting it into any of the written-up nations - there's no room left. I can add towns and small cities to my heart's content, but a megacity of two million people? It overshadows everything around it...

I don't know if it made it to 2E, but in the 1E version of Book III: The High Seas (pg 41), there is a Cloak of Guises. It can change into a complete set of clothing at will. The limitations are that the clothing will be made of the same sort of material as the cloak, and has to be shades of the sa...

Imho, all of the previously expressed views are on the mark, and should work just fine for any campaign. In my time as a GM, if I have a player who rolls poorly in relation to the class they want to play, so long as the race they've chosen is allowed to play that class (a female, Human Barbarian in ...

Great,I hope to see it,Next year. The Raw Edition will, I predict, sell out soon and not be available next year; if you’d like to offer your feedback for possible incorporation into the final published version, I recommend buying a cooy of the Raw Edition sooner rather than later.

Oh, and I forgot that it also has Junglemancer O.C.C. which is connected (but not exclusive) to the new Green Elf R.C.C., and has several new powers and abilities unique to it (along w/new spells).

Yes, it has the Witch Doctor O.C.C., and two new versions of the Shaman O.C.C. specific to the Yin-Sloth Pygmies and the Tezcats (respectively).

Oh, and I am also 100% Full on wanting a Palladium Books to address some of their insanely insensitive materials. Even an acknowledgement that some books were poorly handled would go a long way. Maybe make an effort on diversity on their writing staff, so this doesn't happen again? I dunno if anyon...

I'm curious, would those of you who advocated for Palladium to cancel the 2022 PoH, also advocate for GenCon to cancel its event this year? They, like Palladium, are also requiring all attendees to wear masks, per the "Convention Health and Safety Policies" in the official notice: https://mailchi.mp/gencon/05012022?e=1ed460def0

Lopan, Phi, LotSW, OK not interested in LotD 3 until well after those.

My father died from this a year ago. To act like it's just the flu is beyond stupid. Beyond moronic. It's dangerous. Such stupidity kills people and is killing people to this day.

I made my case, and everyone has their own acceptable risk, so I'll abide. I do wish PB would comment on this, though. Their reasoning for holding this hasn't been stated. Are they taking every precaution and requiring compliance with all the rules, or are they going to red hat this and just give t...

This is the weird typo. Because it isn't as bad as 98% of the types in the PB gamebooks. It is more of a *shrug* than a 'huh??? does that mean?' or the left side of the page says one thing and the right side of the page says something different. Both of which lead to bitter arguments in the forums....

Goblin-Jack

Note that even today countries have their main embassy and and secondary embassies to service their citizens in other cities. (And to service the spy community in those other cities.) Correct, but this is the same city, same side of town; seems redundant (or a typo; since the Eastern Territory, Byz...

I think the lack of any mention of such weapons is purely geographical. There aren't any millennium trees in the entire western hemisphere (including Atlantis... whichever part of the globe it would belong to). The closest one to Mexico would be in Ireland, and a trip of over 5000 miles is a bit ou...

Actually, as I read it, military service in the CS is a highly desired thing, and they're usually selective about who they allow into the ranks. Remember, it's a great stepping stone for an ordinary person, and the jobs come with a (comparatively) high degree of power so I don't think they'd make it...
