Robotech to Rifts?

Unread post by Sakieh »

I remember way back when the first conversion manuals were out to convert things from all the different Palladium Games to Rifts, there was a section for converting robotech to Rifts. I am wondering, given that anything is possible, is there going to be some sort of formula posted(since I have not gotten Shadow Chronicles yet, but I remember that an old Alpha had LESS armour then a Glittergirl suit..I expect it to be kind of similar still?) or did they make the stats in Shadow Chronicles closer to what something of the same or similar size would be in Rifts?(I ask here..because, well, it is regarding brining those Mecha into Rifts..not bringing a Glitterboy into Robotech...which would be wrong)

Chello!

I'm not much of a RT guy....only watched the first one. But the conversion guide (RCG1) states that Protoculture flowers can be grown as long as they are 100 miles from a ley line. Howver, according to the RCG1, most of the experts who know how to grow protoculture were on the missing SDF-3.

The RCG1 states that mecha can be converted to nuclear/techo-wizardry, but would reduce attacks by 2, dodge bonus by half. (pp 34-36).

Hope this helps some.

thats for the old RT RPG. the FoL thing probably stays the same, but the stats for the mecha have all changed.


i recommend heading over to this thread from a few weeks ago. we cover the issues of using the new RPG's mecha in rifts much more completely.
