Thanks guys. Now I know where to look. And unofficial is ok by me cuz it's going in an unofficial campaign converted from MTG.

Jimbo

Ok guys, I am drawing a blank here. I remember that there is an additional Hand to Hand skill called HtH: Wild but I cant for the life of me remember which book it is in. Help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Jimbo

I would just be happy if we could get something more than the Raw preview editions.

Jimbo

Thank you Reagren and Hotrod for your input. And yes, it drives me bonkers that Palladium fantasy doesnt include more maps. Thus why I love Hotrods work and look forward to seeing more of it. Reagren, I had not completely read your article when I made my last post so please allow an addendum. The NP...

Jimbo

Ok, here we go. First off, I thought it was a well written article. It clearly defines the kingdom and the governmental and economic structures of the place. Gives a broad general attitude if the inhabitants towards outsiders. Dammn its an expensive place to visit. Lol. Nit as expemsive as say Llorn...

Jimbo

Thank you, Oh Great and Wise One.

Jimbo

Ok guys, i cant seem to find the answer to this.
Can psionic touch abilities be used through Ectoplasm?

Jimbo

Oh that will be completely cool! Have to get two sets, one as published and one to modify with my own locales.

Jimbo

Hotrod, those maps are fantastic! I look forward to completing my collection of your world maps as you finish them. This is something that I feel Palladium has been lacking for years and cannot for the life of me come up with a good reason. Thank you for your efforts, sir.

Jimbo

Yeah, thats the guy! Hotrods maps are awesome! I have several. What i would really like them to make is a full world map at the level of Hotrods creations.

Jimbo

Am i the only one who thinks we need some better maps? I know one of the guys here is working on them.

Jimbo

It actually got here yesterday! Can't wait to see the finished product! Now to wait for Garden of the Gods and Rifter 84.

Jimbo

Thanks A LOT, Reagren! That was just a HUGE help. Lol! Mine should be Friday.

Jimbo

Thanks Reagren, i am looking forward to seeing it. So happy to see new fantasy materials coming out.

Jimbo

You may celebrate, Kiralon. I have just ordered my copy! Huzzah!

Jimbo

This is good news. I cant wait to see it. And as for the Old Kingdom books, that would be phenomenal. A query however, what happened to the Lopan book they were touting a while ago?

Jimbo

Well, your math is correct and within the framework of the rules as written. That being said, as a DM I would not allow it. I dont see that the Barbarian ability applies to Pole Arms. Considering that the pole arms are nearly ten feet long, being giant class weapons, i cant see how the character cou...

Jimbo

In my current campaign, it has been overrun by ogres ocs and goblins. I am using it as the ogre stronghold from Book 2 and the base from which the Ogre Invasion has started.

Jimbo

Thanks guys. Kiralon, I guess I just looked too hard for it and looked right past it. Mark Hall, that sounds rough,but that was how I was looking at doing it, which turned me against it so as not to kill off the characters.

Jimbo

OK guys, I can't seem to find/decipher the answer so I am asking. When using a damaging ward such as Death or Agony, does the poor sot that triggered it take the damage just once or once per round for the entire spell duration? Does this depend on whether or not it is an AOE Ward? Appreciate the hel...

Jimbo

MUST HAVE... In no particular order; Old Kingdom Mountains, Old Kingdom Lowlands, Land of the Damned 3, YinSloth Jungles 2E, pre made adventures ala Arms of Nargash Tor.

Jimbo

Nice idea, drewkitty, but it says right in the description and the "how to" portion of the directions "Don't ask for books they do not have". I agree with you that it might get the message across as to what we the players and purchasers of product would like to have.

Jimbo

Sadly, I am not surprised by this. It seems like the broken bastard child ( Rifts) gets all the attention, that or Dead Reign.

Jimbo

Ritter 13 has an article called "The Thirteen Deadly Magics", spells that when cast in the correct order bring about the end of the world. IIRC, they need not be cast by the same magic user. Perhaps a jumping off point...

Jimbo

Yeah, I know. I was hoping that it would be before Christmas grab bag at least. I too wish they would work on lines other than rifts and DR.

Jimbo

Fear: HF 16
Increase Weight
Simple yet effective.

Jimbo

So what's the good word on this book? Might it actually see publication this year?

Jimbo

Old Kingdom books please. Land of the Damned 3.

Jimbo

Have reassessed the potential length of the adventure I am looking at and decided that a shorter version might be more well received, which excludes the need of a specific Rifter. Anything that I do need from an issue could be included if I do it this way.

Jimbo

Thanks Drewkitty. Point well taken. What I am looking at sending in may go a bit against Canon but should stay close enough inbounds to make it viable.

Jimbo

Seems odd to reply to myself, but after reading some old Rifters I answered my own question. Duh! Read before speaking. Lol

Jimbo

But I am wondering about a couple of points. First off, is it ok to reference/use material from previous issues of the Rifter? Would there be any issues with that? Secondly, is it alright to reference previously published canon adventures/NPCs and the like? Don't want to waste everybody's time submi...

Jimbo

Gentlemen, thank you for the information. It has been helpful, if less than confidence inspiring. However, I think I may try to do something along these lines anyhow. Worst that can happen is that they say stop it/no.

Jimbo

I had that thought, but what I have written is more aimed at an introductory level adventure ( ala classic low level d&d) and the places it is going are FAR from canon, even though it uses canon material and a mix of stuff from a couple of older Rifters. Not real sure how that particular mix of ...

Jimbo

Even though it could use some tweaks to smooth out the lumps, I love the combat system. Very old school (read as AD&D) but better primarily due, in my opinion, to actual defense rolls, dodge, parry and roll with impact. Even better, again IMHO, is the fact that while min max is possible, not eve...

Jimbo

Jaymz, you shame me sir. You and Razz have obviously done much to promote these games, where as I have kept my attempts on a much smaller scale trying to convert my old group from 3.5 and now looking at getting another group going. The FLGS, which is 45 miles away, would happily give me table space ...

Jimbo

Thanks Wizard. Your post set me to looking at the posting rules. They seem to be vaguely specific.

I will have to read it over a few more times to let it sink in, cuz the way they make it sound its as if you post something that uses the rule system and give them credit, then they own it.

Jimbo

My last was not meant as an attack on anyone, merely an observation of the other evidence as I see it. If I offended anyone, you have my apologies. That being said, I too can say I have been critical of Palladium. Not the system so much as the production and release schedules and promises. Still wai...

Jimbo

Has anyone posted homebrew adventures here? Is that type of thing even allowed? Would it conflict with copyright or trademark laws? If you posted the stat blocks? Could you use material from the Ritter?

Jimbo

Has anybody ever thought that WE the players may be part of the problem? It seems that the attitudes of some of the people who post on other boards can be taken as rabid fanboyism. That which we consider to be a staunch defense of a favored game/system can be perceived differently by others. I have ...

Jimbo

Can't wait to see this. Got the map pack in my grab bag. Its fantastic.

Jimbo

Pepsi Jedi, you make it sound as if you know me. Lol

Jimbo

I think it would depend on the type of game one wants to run. If you are looking more toward the drama of The Walking Dead, then most of the walkers are superfluous beyond slouchers, crawlers and the like. If you are looking at something more along the lines of Z Nation, then the possibilities are m...

Jimbo

I want explore the Old Kingdom Mts to see the remains of the once mighty Dwarven kingdom. Who knows what wonders still lie in those once grand tunnels. And a nice camping trip in the Great Northern Wilderness would be a nice way to spend a summer.

Jimbo

I cannot agree with you more, Hendrik! BTS Arcanum would be great and as for PF, PLEASE let the two books be Old Kingdom Mountains and Lowlands.

Jimbo

Aside from the preconceived notions of it being an old ruleset and the fact that it is a bit difficult to navigate the books, it is a relatively slow game in play. New players are expecting something along the lines of an electronic RPG where it is all directed at killing the Boss and going on to th...

Jimbo

Thanks Hendrik, I will make it point to check that one out. It may very well fit into my next campaign. I have already found the Rifter index to be quite handy. Thank you Nexusnine.

Jimbo

Byzantium and the Northern Islands simply because its a new release for PFRPG (not enough love there IMHO). Havent read it cover to cover, but what I have read is past cool. Love the Dwarves. Great way to fill in a section of the world.

Jimbo

Kiralon, you got it. Rifter 40 it is. thanx guys.

Jimbo

Not sure if it is actually PFRPG specific. have been looking over the books and just cannot find it. I thought it would be in Northern Hinterlands as well, and then Eastern Territories and Western Empire. It vexes me at this point. Guess its time to start digging into the pile o' Rifter. lol
