I went with Prosilver Dark. The other options were either too bright or too dark.

Palladium Fantasy's Mind Mage was always one of the strongest psychic printed - 3 super psionic powers every level.

Personally, I was always partial to the Psi-Slayer or Psi-Tech in Rifts: Psyscape - I think both of those would fit pretty nicely into the Heroes Unlimited setting.

When it comes to super hero games, the group of people I play with are probably inspired by One Piece the most. They tend to like having people with unusual powers for antagonists and then, for their own characters, basing their powers around a concept ("doors" or "mirrors" or "fire" or "elephants ...

Back in the day, I wrote up a Lemuria book. Must be somebody else's that's getting published though. ^_^

I'll be interested to see another authors take on it.

All it's saying is that Cyber-Knights and people of good alignment are just very, very stupid.

I was going through my hard drive and found this - I think it's one of the many things I wrote back in the day and never actually posted. Thought maybe somebody might get a kick out of it. ^_^

Boom Gum! is the latest delicious candy confection released to North America by Yumskers! Inc. Yumskers! is a well known candy company headquartered out of New Lazlo. Though they have gained much renown for their candy, Boom Gum! is considered to be their most spectacular product. It's sold in ...

Interesting... for me, rules for creating organizations or weapons are about the most useless things I need. As the GM, the evil organization is exactly big enough as it needs to be and has enough resources as it needs in order to pull off the super crimes or to pose a threat to the PCs. Same thing ...

Sorry Sentinel, I wasn't trying to insult ya or anything. I was just curious what you meant by metaplot because you seemed to be using it in a different way than anyone else I've ever seen.

In my eyes, what Century Station was, was backstory and setting information. Obviously the author had an ...

AnubisXy

Just out of curiosity Sentinel, what do you mean by metaplot? Are you referring to advancing plotlines? Or do you mean backstory? Or something else...?

He pretty much means everything that isn't a rule, really. Setting in general. It isn't really an accurate word, but it has kinda become one ...

See, Holmes is SO awesome he can just ignore what's in older books and make his own dreams into reality! He's that good!

Seriously, the issue with Holmes was just the last bit of stupidity in a long line of it. The whole Siege, from begining to end was just done very poorly. It's like, anything ...

I've always liked Wormwood myself. It's such a... totally unique setting. I've never seen another setting quite like it in RPGs.

AnubisXy

AnubisXy

Yeah, I gotta go REF too. Their tech is so much more nimble and mobile than anything the CS has. In all probability though, it would just come down to the nukes...

AnubisXy
... it always comes down to the nukes.

In general terms, I think a Ley Line Walker with a laser pistol and some decent armor will defeat an equivilent level Deadboy with the same laser pistol and armor... I'm pretty sure that's a given, nobody will disagree with it, even if we're discussing the origional Rifts rules. Even when magic ...

AnubisXy

I agree. With a combined force option, it totally takes away from the comparison question of magic v. tech. I don't think anyone could convincingly argue that a combined force wouldn't be strongest.

So, I'm ignoring the combined force option, and based just on tech v. magic, post-RUE, I'd have to ...

AnubisXy

Tech will win out, generally. It takes alot less time to train a platoon of Deadboys to use laser guns than it takes to train a platoon of mages to cast spells.

Now, in individual combat, I think the mage will generally win... unless he's facing off in someone wearing Power Armor (like a SAMAS or ...

Man, you guys are genius! Lets all go to Wormwood and become stinking rich, and roll around in our ill-gotten, filthy lucre.

I like Coyles. They have an even worse reputation than Wolfen, because they really are a baby eating monster.

There's a slight disconnect, between the time period that Atlantis vanished (~8,000-12,000 years ago) and the fact that the Mechanoids ravaged the Kitanni over 40,000 years ago, and ravaged the rest of their galaxy long before that. I guess you can come up with something cheesy, like saying the ...

A]] One of the two Species -the ones currently making Monster Brodkil on Earth -are dispassionate, emptionless beings who couldn't care less about anything around them; the Four Horsemen or the Mechanoids could be bearing down on them and they wouldn't bat an eyelash. And while their Experiments ...

Dunno why it's there, it's just Kevin working his "magic" again. If you look at the Gene-Tech RCC it says By Kevin Siembieda... so blame him. I doubt Bill would have wanted it in the book. It's too similar to Gene Splicers, and I know Bill always hated reprints, so odds are he would have prefered to ...

AnubisXy

Well, technically... one is called Old and one is called First. So, just going with Occum's Razor, the First came First and the Old Ones are just really old.

AnubisXy

Err... I can't agree abou the Kittani, but I can't really remember much about them on my MASSIVE 500MB brain memory.

If we are expanding into the other 'verses, I would think the Robotech Masters would be pretty old.

As for the K!ozn, I think there must be really old.

Technically, the ...

In my campaign, one of the players, Lucia, has APS Light. When she's about to flash she shouts "red!" which is an indication for the group to close their eyes.
However, after the first time baddies get a perception roll, and if they succeed then they have figured out that "red" means she's going to ...

Mechanoids!

yeah, they're not actually in the Three Galaxies, but they're older than the Kitanni at any rate...

I think though that the Splugorth/Kitanni should be considered one of the more ancient races. They seem to have been around forever and responsible (both directly and indirectly ...

AnubisXy

I am of the opinion that Voirr Jawhn is the only logical choice. Too many groups within the Three Galaxies see the CCW as an organization without teeth, a group too frightened to take action. Voirr Jawhn is a woman of action. The expulsion of the T'zee will show the rest of the galaxy that the CCW ...

I like the Archtype idea and I also like Shadow's idea. Ask each player (before hand) to name one attribute they would like to have for their character. It could be intelligence, maybe someone will say, "I want claws like Wolverine!" Regardless, just try and get one basic idea from each player and ...

You perceive why I have difficulties with the deific write-ups in CB2. They wimp out the gods.

They're gods . The Greek gods defeated the Titans (and if the Titans are AIs, then this places the gods as clearly more powerful); it wasn't all the work of the hundred-handed.

Well, I kind of ...

AnubisXy

Okay, assuming Zeus went all out , yes he could destroy Atlantis. If he brokered a deal with the Titans, released them and sent all the Hundred Handed raging down on Atlantis in a massive mob, yeah, Atlantis would fall. But, this isn't going to happen... ever. You can consider this to be Zeus ...

AnubisXy

Simply put, the gods would get the ever-holy crap beat out out of them if they tried to take on Splynncryth. Splynny has massive armies of slave races, incredibly powerful weapons of destruction, dragons, space ships... just about anything you can imagine. What does Zeus have? A magical Thunderbolt ...

I haven't looked much at Rifts in awhile. Just wondering if anything new has been released for either of this two areas, maybe in the Rifter, or some side information in any of the other books...

Okay okay, so you are all right... I just didn't want to go along with the crowd. Curse you peer pressure!

Okay, so lemme see if I can understand what you guys are saying. You want deities and godlike beings who go down like flies in front of a vagabond with a Wilks laser pistol? You want someone like Hercules (the child of a god) to be weaker than your average run of the mill Juicer?

While I agree ...

AnubisXy

I always rather like CJ's stuff. I thought he brought a certain amount of sensibility to Rifts. Ya know, like Gods who actually CAN take out a small platoon of soldiers, and anti-tank guns that can maybe blow up a tank in only two or three shots instead of like fifty. Besides, Pantheons was one of ...

AnubisXy

Sorry if it is or is not... I haven't really bothered too much with Palladiums in the last three and a half years. However, yesterday I was looking through some of my old books and came across Rifts: Mechanoids (one of the few Palladium source books I still have). I looked through it and saw the ...
