Thank you... so.... MUCH for coming out of the bastian and supporting!!! We are extremely thrilled for Splicers and I Am Legion! Riftjunkie, your comments mirror multiple Splicers fans that I've spoken with that were or are discouraged about the long wait for Splicers products. Hopefully with the n...

I would love one (or three, if that helps get it printed)! Too much info to print all enhancements, most likely. I would say maybe: the various limitations of the different HA metabolisms. ranges of ranged bio-weapons, bio-comms, Techno-Jacker abilities, etc. modifiers for various terrain and mode o...

Where do I find a Squealer launcher? Page 120 of the I Am Legion sourcebook talks about them and 122 has the Shrieker launcher, but I can't seem to find the Squealers. The launchers aren't the same, are they? Thanks for asking RiftJunkie As TagsPB mentioned, Squealers are a weapon that can be plant...

RiftJunkie

Since the Mantis Cannon can also launch Squealers & they have an 'innate deisre' to track & eliminate them, use the Mantis Cannon as a default. Please, what page and how far down am I looking? I've been over the Mantis Cannon several times (and the Shriekers & Squealers section) and I c...

So has the community shrunk so small that there are only the three of us left? I just came back from a boycott. Got sick of always hearing about a Splicers book, only to get pieces in Rifters. I finally have another Splicers BOOK. Now Palladium can get my $$$ again. I'm still ticked off that it had...

I almost hope not. They each have different ranges.

While I've been away on boycott, I did not get the "I am Legion" series in the Rifters. I am a bit disappointed that it is mostly a reprint, but still happy that I HAVE A REAL SPLICERS BOOK IN MY HANDS!!!!!! Please Palladium: Print more Splicers!!!! Keep taking my money, print more Splicer...

I posted, but I don't see it. Do postings require approval first?

I would love to see your work in excel. I can't open any of the links. Tech challenged.

I've been quietly sulking, waiting, fuming about Palladium not giving us a REAL BOOK for SPLICERS! Instead, just getting stuff ripped into sections and printed in Rifters. Not that Rifters are "bad", just that Splicers DESERVED another BOOK! Thank You Chuck, Chris, Lance and Whoever else s...

I would probably say you can use a Patch to save a Patch. I might also say that the healed Patch needs a nutrient bath before being able to do it's job again. I wouldn't allow Slap Patches to be put on in advance of injury and I think they need to be removed after healing or they would "burn ou...

chuck probably already has a replacement for the entire cover ready - iirc he was in favor of limited revisions to the core book himself I have several irons in the furnace for Splicers that I hope will help boost the overall interest and push this spectacular & unique gameline into overdrive. ...

From the latest PB Update by KS: UPDATE: Splicers® Sourcebooks We have all kinds of things boiling behind the scenes for Splicers®. Probably need to start figuring out which Splicers material is coming next and then zip out 2-3 sourcebooks in a row. I can't wait! Please KS, don't let this fall to th...

RiftJunkie

The complete manuscript for Splicer: Blood and Iron will be turned in before GenCon and I will be running Splicers games there, FYI. Both it and Genetic Expressions will be smaller sourcebooks that can be edited quickly and quickly turned around for production. This sounds GREAT!!! I do have concer...

*shrug* conveniently, the main thing to remember about the machine is that it is insane. if something it is doing does not make rational sense, well... yeah. that's because it isn't rational. eve doesn't care about exterminating humans, and will generally preserve them if possible. lilith doesn't c...

How about a bio-woodshop? A planer could use tentacles to pull the wood through with piranha type somethings that chew the wood down to the desired thickness. Large sanders could be an abrasive tentacle mess. Clothing industry? Silkworms or spiders to spin and tentacles to weave the fabric. Modify a...

It would seem that the Machine's orbital satellites don't have the greatest optics or we'd be screwed again. Probably the same for her jet fighters. or rather plausibly.. the sensors are great, but she doesn't have enough sats up there for full 24/7 coverage of every square mile of the planet, so a...

Alas Guy, I have no one else to preach to other then the faithful! Hear me brothers!

RiftJunkie

Actually, I love the idea. 5 points doesn't sound too bad to me. It definitely has more of a usefulness than just a cosmetic alteration. Maybe split the difference and go with 3 points for the mod?

How many books do they need to sell to break even?

Wish I knew. Then we could figure out if there are enough of us out there to support Splicers and/or work on a business/marketing plan to get enough of us out there.

Now we have a few more to the mix. Still not sure we have enough for Splicers to thrive. I read this in the last promo e-mail sent by PB: "Closing thoughts We are working to get new products into your hands – Rifts®, Robotech®, Chaos Earth®, Splicers® ,Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Wave 2, etc. In fac...

Challenge! What is the most munchkin Splicer out there?

RiftJunkie

I had to vote for "other". Any re-work of "human" armor (especially power armor) is a custom job. There are examples out there for non-humans: the Kreegor have a few, so do the Arkons and Gargoyles. Human power armor is not easily made into something else. Any deviation means it ...

Ok, so this post has been up for a week and we only have NINE Spliceheads! I realize that there are some Spliceheads that are avoiding this post because it is politically incorrect. I have no intent to bash PB, only to generate constructive criticism and enough support to get someone at PB to take n...

Sounds pretty much like I thought. Just wasn't sure if you needed to drag a carcass off the field back to the House like they do from the boneyards for raw material to build with.

RiftJunkie

Are we talking just a few strands, or enough to be used as source material in the GenePool?

honestly, i'd imagine something like the Bio-suits the 'greys' used in Independence Day that the Host Armors were engineered to open up along certain points the way a tech suit of power armor would, so the user can enter an exit. and that while inside the suit makes mental contact so the wearer doe...

RiftJunkie

To be honest, about a year ago you could not have considered me a "Splicehead", however after having recently obtained several copies of The Rifter, containing a lot of splicer subject matter, I would say that my love for it has definitively grown. My original hesitance can easily be stem...

I personally re-roll 1's & 2's in the attribute dice. If you end up with a 16, 17 or 18: you roll the bonus die and take whatever you get. 6's get an additional bonus die and take what you get. This usually gets high or at least reasonably high attributes. Nobody wants to hear complaints about l...

What about the as yet unmentioned daughter of Erin Tarn?

RiftJunkie

How many Spliceheads are out there? It seems like very few. Lately, I've been going through all of the Splicer posts. Essentially, nothing has changed. We've been wanting sourcebooks and left waiting. We've had some entries in the Rifter (THANK YOU GUYS!), but that's it. There are manuscripts turned...

in one of his recent murmurs, he basically said something like "splicers is going to be bigger than most people expect" i think. in any event, he's got stuff ahead of it in the pipeline. nothing new there. it's been that way for a while now. I believe that was a repost by KS of a post by ...

At this point, I think I was asking about getting into a Preserve and using Razor Willows or Spikeroot or Tangle Weed to get some of this alien DNA (by capturing or killing some of Gaia's creations) for the Geneticists, Engineers and Librarians? Viable tactic or not and what might be the issues with...

I've always put some level of comedy into my campaigns. Usually, it's some inside joke amongst friends, Monty Python reference (or other "corny" movie like Princess Bride or Your Highness), or just something silly when somebody rolls a 1. Something I have as a house rule is a natural 42 on...

Has anyone allowed or used... Psionic powers from other PB games? I like the Psychic Literacy (BtS) for use with Rifts characters. Kind of a work around for illiterate types, or a bonus for languages you can't read. It's not a full fledged reading ability, but it gives you the "gist" of wh...

Sounds Great! Wish I had been there! I can't wait for more Splice! However, I am a little concerned. http://palladium-megaverse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=148367 KS talks about what's on his plate and what's coming up, but has no mention of Splicers.

Ok. But once again, what about using them in the Preserves in the way I previously listed? Possible? Likely? Probable? What would be the major issues with this tactic?

Looking at the artwork by Premier and others, it looks to me like there is a "hatch" of some kind that you climb into. The HA seems to have some rigidity in it to hold it in place when not being worn. A lot of the artwork seems to me to be like a chitinous or rhino hide type "skin&quo...

In regards to psionics: I looked at it like when Atlantis disappeared, it took all (or almost) of the magic energy of the Earth. ISP is described as being connected to PPE. We had no (or almost no) magic or psionics after the fall of Atlantis, so why couldn't that work if they (CS or otherwise) came...

Welcome to Splicers!

I normally run them as NPCs with the PC in control making any rolls necessary. Has worked well for me.
