Not sure how accurate statements are trolling, but nonetheless... My point stands. Without evidence to back up the claims made, you must remain skeptical. I stand by my assertion that monies were spent and none remain from the initial kickstarter. If they do, it would be easy enough for K.S. to scre...

Neither of you have any proof to back up either of your claims. Was it the Savage Worlds fans that gave it such a great Kickstarter? Was it all the Palladium lovers backing it? Was it people who liked the idea of Rifts but hated Palladium's house system? I prefer to think it's a little of column &qu...

I'm sure the funds that didn't pay for Wave 1 were used to settle old debts/pay for books to be printed (a mix of both, in my guess) since that would meet Kevin's claim (in his mind, anyway) that it "wasn't wasted" and he expected he would be able to pay for development and manufacturing ...

I believe the system from the OP is that a 1d4 MD weapon does 1d4 straight to HP, bypassing SDC, not 1d4 x 100. How could that ever be considered a fix? Also, it makes quite a bit of the artwork make sense where people are all shot up by MD weapons, but not a blasted pile of goo as the system would ...

I dunno... I think 2008 is a little optimistic.

Anyone who still believes the Palladium Release Schedule deserves what they get.

I've been watching this go back and forth, and the main issue that Palladium combat rules have is the fact that they are flat-out unbalanced and unrealistic. Frankly, I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this. There aren't supposed to be one-shot kills. In fact, by the rules, a one man sniper or gueri...

One thing I've been wanting to see, is a nanotech-augmented OCC. But then, I just re-installed Deus Ex a few days ago, so I may have been thinking about that. Wouldn't that be the various Juicers?

I kinda like the Chaosium BRP (CoC) rules, where each bullet fired in a 'burst' added a +5% to hit (so a +1) and you then got a 1dX roll (preferably you fire bursts in a dice size that you have available) where X is the number of shots you got. Say you had a SMG skill at 40%... you fire a 10 round b...

Well, it's not like Illinois is just farmland. We are the fifth most populous state in the US, thank you very much.

Hence the ambiguous Phrasing of Japan's fate. He could have EASILY had Erin Tarn say, in clear terms, "there's nothing left" if he wanted to definitively keep PA Japan uninhabited. He clearly said that it is a quiet little cluster of wilderness islands. If he'd been any clearer, you'd likely be cla...

Remember in the Rifts Sourcebook 2: the Mechanoids how they had a series of premonitions of some dangers that might be affecting Rifts Earth? The first one was easy, it was obviously the Mechanoids.

According to the Mirror Walk power of the Nightbane. They can travel through a mirror to the Nightlands (and vice versa) at the cost of 2 PPE and take up to 100 lbs. Anything more cost 1 PPE per 2 lbs. So 160 lbs cost 80 PPE. Well, I would adjucate that to mean that it costs 1 PPE per additional 2 ...

I don't know how I would define the borders, beyond "as far as you can enforce your authority."

Just getting the medium in the eclip alone to catalyse and then catapulted through a bore is complex enough and would be much more practical. How is it more practical?

Which is interesting . . . But how come NPCs are ever listed as having 4 laser clips and 6 ion clips? How come you never see a treasure haul including 1D6+4 laser clips and 1D4+2 plasma clips?

That is a somewhat a way to explain away the universal e-clip, but "e-clip" just means a clip that goes with the "e-rifle" as opposed to rail gun or other solid ammo weapons.
