Session 2-Sweet Town. Nice People After making a midnight escape from prison and high-tailing it from vampires until sunrise, we arrive beaten, bloodied and sopping wet at the front gate of Santa Prisca, only to find ourselves staring down the barrel of a robot-armored guard’s laser rifle. Introduce...

For anyone interested, I took Psiandco's suggestion and started writing up a journal for the campaign that prompted this thread. I posted it in separate thread on the Rifts board titled "Campaign Journal: Dirty Quarter Dozen." For what it's worth, the question of vampires, homes and shelte...

Session 1: Dusk ‘till Dawn With no options but to carry out the mission, we begin to crawl our way out of the prison. Susan in front, me in the back, Luis in the middle. He whispers as we go. “The warden said something about vampires, do you have those where you come from?” I’m pretty sure one of ou...

Session 0: A Fearful New World [Begin Recovered Archival Materials. Translated from the original Catonese) Day 131-I suppose a journal should start on day one, but I've got some catching up to do. I've never journaled before. Not sure where to start. I guess the begining is as good a place as any. I...

In an earlier thread, I asked for some character design help for my first Rifts campaign. Psiandco asked if I could journal our adventures. I'm going to try it in this thread. The campaign doesn't have an official name, but I'm calling it "The Dirty Quarter Dozen" A little background. Our ...

I would love to hear about you and your crew's adventures! is it recorded, like an "Actual Play" podcast or something? I,- (me and assuming, again) I am certain everyone else here would love to hear too! (It is rare that a game is run with such overwhelming restrictions, but regardless of...

Thanks everyone! The character creation session went really well. And this thread ended up being both extremely helpful, and weirdly prescient. Prysus called the campaign concept. It's a Dirty Dozen/Suicide-Squad type deal, starting in an isolated Coalition prison for dimensional travelers and dissi...

As you want to be martial artist you will want access to an OCC that allows you to upgrade to or comes standard with an advanced form of Hand to Hand combat training, at minimum the generic "Martial Arts" or "Assassin". Exotic forms like Commando or the Japanese Martial Arts wou...

Well, hup7 did provide very specific advice and I'm not saying it can't work, but it could be rather rule lawyer-y (which is NOT necessarily the same as min-maxing), and involves Unofficial material (the Rifter article), and will be subject to a lot of the G.M.'s approval. I'm not saying don't try,...

Yeah. As hup7 noted those are seriously limiting guidelines. But it's also presents an interesting challenge. After some thought, here’s a little bit outside the box solution you could try, if he’s collected the Rifter (Palladium’s magazine) and he has Heroes Unlimited Second Edition (HU2). It's de...

-Baseline humans only. -No psychic powers, magic, super-powers, chi-powers or other supernatural abilities (check with me if unsure.) -No bionics, cybernetics (including crazies and juicers) genetic modification or bio-wizardry. Wow, for Rifts this is a pretty limiting list, it cuts out a lot of cl...

Hello people! New to the boards and to palladium games. Looking for help with character creation. I’m part of a long-standing group. Up to now, we’ve always played D&D (it’s the only system I’ve played.) We just finished our current campaign, and our dm (who has a soft-spot for palladium games) ...
