Agreed. I think it is a perfect area to begin a campaign, as it has a big enough city for players to use as a base (Kingsdale), the presence of the CS on the area, plus kind of close to interesting areas like the Magic Zone or Pecos.

1. Check out: - Merc SB has a blurb on the Kingsdale/Whykin conflict (pg 37/38) - Merc Town SB, a few interesting tidbits there. - Whykin is mentioned in the Merc Ops SB as a buyer of a couple types of landmines from NG (reprinted in WB33). - In WB33, Whykinites (Whykinians? Whykons?) have settled ...

Hi everyone. So I was doing inventory of my rpg books, and got to browse my Rifts books after a long time. Don't know why but I began to think about Whykin, and checking to see what information has been published about it, which is not much, and got a couple question nagging me: -Is the info on the ...

4 Dodge is typically used when you can not parry an attack. or when it has a higher chance of success. There are also melee weapons that can not be used to parry. (wilks laser knife/sword) Come to think of it, one of my players had a character with autododge, and would generally us THAT instead of ...

Personal opinion, the towns were destroyed or abandoned during the Sorcerer's Revenge. Whoever survived the carnage probably fled to the Chi-Town Burbs hoping for help and security, and ended living on difficult conditions, fueling their hatred for Tolkeen. Surviving men and women joined the resurge...

I have No problem with people came up with Aliens gods. Aren't technically all gods aliens? Only in the sense that everything is an alien relative to very planet other than their own. There are some gods native to earth. In Spirit West you have She Who Walks the Circle who was an elevated Shaman an...

I have No problem with people came up with Aliens gods. Aren't technically all gods aliens? But yes, I agree it is only logical there must be gods of other cultures beyond the human. Although on the Three Galaxies the Forge legend is so important it can explain why there are only 33 known planets c...

I forget what book its in, I can't see it with a quick glance, but I remember that in one of the Dimensional books it mentions that there are various planets ruled by 'entities' which include various Gods, Splugoth, Demon Lords and the like. IIRC there were at least 30, and most of them were in the...

Awesome Braden, thanks for sharing. The background info really helps flesh things out. There is the Japanese goddess who brought the Oni out of the dark ages. She isn't there now, but was in historical memory. Yes Amaterasu. There is some info on that in the Phase World Sourcebook and on Thunderclo...

My idea was to use a godling or demigod as a kind of ambassador from the UWW that goes to make first contact and negotiations for the admission of new members in an unexplored sector of the galaxy (Anvil or Corkscrew, yet not decided). Just imagine the scene, the powerful and charismatic presence pr...

kirnos

Wow Mr Campbell!!! This a true jewel. Why didn't that made it to the final cut? I wonder how much more could have been included... Any possibility to see more of that material on the website? In any case I really like the whole background. It shows the theme behind the Thundercloud Scramble very wel...

Oh, well, will have to read it as soon as I gain access to my books again XD But are there stats for Serket on the book?

Serket is in the Thundercloud? Is this on the sourcebook or are you adding this as an easter egg?

Dimension Book 6: The Three Galaxies, p. 150

So, If i remember correctly, there is a planet in the UWW that "belongs" to the Asgardian gods, with an agreement of leave us alone and our people will keep producing magic items and stuff for you. But i kind of recall something about the Olympian gods also being around somehow, although i...

kirnos

I would consider the Rifts the worse one. In Eclipse Phase humanity can not return to Earth, but has colonized other planets, and technically can keep expanding on outer space. On Rifts Earth, humanity is trapped on their own world dealing with monsters, demons and worse. Yes, they can use magic to ...

kirnos

A book about the Corkscrew Galaxy and an Aliens of the Three Galaxies are a must. We really need these fleshed out a little bit.

kirnos

Oh yeah, I remember the space whales. Humm, maybe with some work it could be done. Althougth i never liked the dolphin and shark bots... don't know, too extreme for me maybe. But sure, seeing that the supply of those animals is short, maybe they will adapt to new ones.

kirnos

Yeah, nothing is too tricky for Horune pirates

kirnos

Yes, some kind of gravity field disruptor is necesary. Otherwise the prey will just run away. Also, I think that their dream ships will have Rift engine for FTL travel. Also thinking to add a bay for some fighters. And obviously some kind of shield, probably armor of ithan. But I can picture the Hor...

kirnos

Here is the idea: A group of Horune where rifted to an uninhabited planet on the Three Galaxies. Seeing as there was no one to prey on, and the planet didn't have extensive seas, the Horune mystic were gathered in one place to see if they could give some advice or show a way to get out of that place...

kirnos

It makes sense, not every character with a ship has to be the ultimate spacejock. I have been on and off working on a campaign of my own to be about a group of part time bounty hunters, part time explorers, part time smugglers, etc... but i expect them to be in some space combat so i will hope one o...

kirnos

Really interesting to read. By the way, have been some time since i read the main book, but i see no space combat skill. I think pilot small spaceships gives you basic space combat, but i don't know if you are ok with that or will need to upgrade to elite. Also, what is cyber-breasts? Seems interest...

kirnos

If it has to be an space fighter, go for the Proctor. It is technically one, although it is more like a patrol ship. But as Taalism said, if you have the article of tracer ships, use it, it is a really good one. I have used a couple of times for the players' ship and for some of the npcs. Works great.

kirnos

Although I agree some of the scales on the ships may be a little off, and some ships should be bigger, i think it is not so illogical or imposible for the hunter to bring 4 space fighters. If you take a look at real life carriers, for example the Nimitz-class can carry a maximum of 130 fighters, alt...

kirnos

Well, there is a stealth system on the main book for the runners ship, but is only for sensors, no visual cloaking. The submarine part is not bad, I think it is quite the idea behind the phased frigate of the TGE on the Fleets of the Three Galaxies book, a kind of Hunt for Red October in space. But ...

kirnos

I don't have my books with me right now so i could not remember the phase tech behind the ghost fighter, so yeah, maybe it would not be so unbalancing. As i want to introduce this tech and the species that uses it on an unexplored sector where i want to center the action of the campaign i suppose it...

kirnos

I was going on the current lore we have available about cloaking devices on the Three Galaxies. So far, and without being able to check my books, i can remember: -the phase ships as able to be invisible going out of phase. -the use of the invisibility spell on UWW ships -the experimental frigate of...

kirnos

Sorry, maybe i didn't made my point clear. What i was thinking is of introducing an species on my still not started campaign of an unexplored (or lightly explored) sector of space in the Anvil or Corkscrew galaxy, that uses cloaking devices or their ships. And thinking about it i was wondering what ...

I am looking for Star Fighters for a future game in the Three Galaxies setting. Each of the players wants to earn or steal a ship at some point. I wanted a Star Fighter due to its size, speed, replaceability, upkeep and its low cost compared to Freighters. What are some of the fighters with the mos...

Guardians of the Galaxy. To me is a clear example of what Phase World is: Space adventure with magic powers.

That was in fact exactly the reaction that my friends had after seeing the movie: "Phase World, anyone?"

Corkscrew Galaxy Sourcebook, to complete the galaxy sourcebooks

Special Forces SAMAS, just because I really like the Coalition SF, and the SAMAS has a lot of missiles

kirnos

A promethean could do the trick. With maximun PE, and maximum SDC it adds to 750, plus any gain from physical skills, are this is equivalent to MDC with their special rules. Plus many attributes over 20. And they are an iconic PW R.C.C.

Or a Dominator...

kirnos

What's your proposed breakdown of that 38% (Golgan, Altess, Central Alliance, Splugorth, Independent)?

kirnos

I usually follow the canon unless there's something illogical or one thing contradicts another. But I don't alter the rules of space combat because I prefer to leave it something of an abstract. Yes, ranges or speed probably are too low (or fast, depends on opinion), but then my players are not inte...

kirnos

Now, the more than possible collapse of the Golgan Republik can spark a race between the CCW and TGE for the control of its worlds in the Anvil. Maybe only the Golgan homeworld will be Golgan. Or perhaps better, the "true" golgans remain only in the few colonies in the Thundercloud, where ...

kirnos

Yes, the Golgans expanding on the Thundercloud as they are trying to rebuild their empire. Poor Golgans, they have bought a ticket to a big big fall. Nothing good is gonna come from those messengers from the future. True, their new battleship class is powerful and cool, but then too little too late....

kirnos

I'm with you that the Thundercloud galaxy is great and perfect to conduct a campaign based on space exploration (star trek anyone? xD) but my idea for the campaign is of a group of bounty hunters who became embroiled in the politics and struggles of a little unknown sector, with quite some advanced ...

kirnos

Great, so the Altess, Golgan and Central Alliance live in a limbo, seems right Yeah, I suppose a reduction of the % is in order. Perhaps more like the CCW 33%, TGE 25%, UWW 15%, which leaves 24% to put the other powers (Golgan 10% and Central Alliance 7%, the Altess only control a few planets) and l...

kirnos

So, I was reading my Phase World books again, trying to prepare a new campaign, after years mothballed, and want to place the action on an unexplored (or lightly explored) area of space, with independent planets not affiliated to any great power. My first inclination was to put it on Anvil galaxy, b...

Gran mapa!! Molt practic per ensenyar als meus jugadors perque tinguin una idea general d'on es mouen (sera una campanya CS, aixi que ja els indicare qui son els "dolents" XDD). And for the english speaking people: Great map!! Really useful to show my players so they can get a general idea...

kirnos

Looking at my copy of Fleets of the Three Galaxies, I noticed that the only fleet that doesn't give a total number of ships is the TGE. It's something the writer forgot to put on the book or is intentional? It would be great to have the numbers, althought I suspect it will have more ships that the C...
