Dang. That was previously an Orbit-specific possibility.

The I.S.P./P.P.E./Chi points rules are there in case you feel like using the psionic/magic system from another of Palladium's settings. Otherwise you can keep the regular non-I.S.P. rules foun the ATB book

Off the top of my head: - The education tables are more in line with the setting, gone are the days when 1 in 4 characters had ninja training. - More options to mutate your character, with extra powers and more natural weapon varieties. - Thowbacks, Purebreeds and Chimeras, for some wild mutant fun....

Also some malfunctioning killer satellites might fail to recognize the positioning satellites and destroyed them, the Rifts era debris ring had to come from somewhere.

At this point I would like to refer you all to my signature picture, as it fits perfectly with the subject at hand.

From reading the Shdaow Chronicles book, it states that the -10 to dodge is only applied when combatants are shooting themselves at point blank, greater distances reduce this penalty, and if I recall correctly the same rule appears in R:UE

I don't think they mean Graphic Novel size, more like the size of the Shonnen Jump magazine.

Here is an interesting one: The Fortress

They featured one that looked impresive on an episode of Penn & Teller's show. It was in Canada and was made out of buried school buses but I cant seem to find any info on it.

I see the wolf tibes divided in 2 camps, those willing to eat intelligent mutants, and those against it.
Any way they would fit in perfectly in the list of declared enemies of the whole Free Plains, regardless of tribal preferences, along with the Empire of Humanity, New Kennel and The Road Hogs.

Trying to get this moving again before it stagnates, lets start throwing things aroudn just to kee the disscusion alive.

That was the basis for my idea for Mutants of The Sprawl, in the fanbook post. I pictured the towers' control centers as the last bastions of the defenders against the chaos of the Fall.

I like the idea of the human "retro" tribes. But their peaceful coexistance between them and the tribes of Free Cattle does seem to clash too much with the background. Maybe if they are only tolerated by some pof the more libeally minded clans instead of the whole "nation", who w...

For the Mutants of the Sprawl I was thinking a city based in the desgins of the Tokyo Sky City. http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/engineering/skycity/interactive/interactive.html Where the forces trying to hold the city are fortified in the upper levles while the lower level are in various states...

Reply by Mephisto: I like the idea of a wild west feel, with gunslingers, but more based on posses and land/food rights. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not too thrilled to have magic introduced into ATB (I know it's there, but I don't like it). The idea of mutant bulls being called "cattle rustle...

Just how hard is it to make those layers and modifications to Google Earth, is it something your average end user would be able to do, or is it something that requires some sort of programming experience.

I want to raise the IQ of a housecat from -4 (I assume 3D6-4) to 0 or 3D6 so I can have an intelligent cat. That costs 10 Bio-E, right ? Does that also raise the other attribute scores along that line in the table ? I'm thinking not, but I've been away from PB for a bit. If you are refering to the ...

Secondly, Pre-Rifts German and Euro is spoken. Euro is the official language and spoken by most. Now Euro is not a real language and no one on the boards can speak it, so NGR just might be right. Then again, there may also be people in the NGR who refuse to give in to the Euro language and only spe...

I'm with Macksting's idea, the mutant was altered through magic instead of science to acquire human traits in order to help the magician. Maybe the wizard got fed up with insolent, upstart apprentices with no respect for authority and very little in the sense of loyalty. Or the wizard ascended to hi...

In the SoT: Sorcerer's Revenge book, in one of the automatons descriptions, it mentions that if anyone wants to use his weapon other than a giant robot/other automaton, the character would need a P.S. of no loss than 25, and unless he hass augmented or supernatural strength there was a strike penalt...

Well as far as I know, both Rifts and the 2nd edition of HU both have dodge penalties, which at one point, it in Rifts was a flat -10 for all modern ranged weapons and ranged combat. This has since been amended. As for the dodge bonus, none of the games currently in production give a dodge bonus fro...
