Hi everyone,

I’ve been aware of Splicers for a while but have only recently started exploring the game. I have an idea for a Great House that I wanted to run by this forum.

I’m imagining a Great House that functions sort of like a creepy traveling carnival or sideshow. Bear with me here ...

How did the game go?

Any other Splicer sessions happening?

Looks like my Rifts submission was accepted...
https://www.gencon.com/events/186654

Only looking for (1 - 2) players (would like to leave some seats for newcomers).

Kevin is hosting a virtual event there as well (free to attend it looks like).

Thanks!

Email or PM if you're interested (I'm GM 4 Blood Drought on the Discord).

I'm down in Auburn, but with things the way they are...our little group has been playing remote for a few months. You should join the Discord at some point. Maybe by end of year we'll be able to game in-person again.

Can they get fat? Can they bulk up? ...or are they stuck with the physique they had when they changed? Do they even have a metabolism, as they no longer eat? They do continue to grow into adulthood if they change young.

Find some starving young artist (easy) fund a webcomic for a year (pretty cheap) if it takes off monetize it. IF it doesn't don't renew the guys contract, let the comic die, and you have more stock art to use in future books. Either way cheap advertising and re-useable art assets. If it takes off ...

Yah, I've played one before. "She" was an espionage agent, and a pretty good one. Nothing better at extracting important details from NPCs and players alike.

No seriously, why is the dimensional crossroads so dead set against super powers? ?

I can't believe that someone doesn't want a book based on gear?

I want to go to bed at night with this book tucked under my pillow...

As a GM, I think a majority of the World Books have been dedicated to story...it's about time we added a few items to the mix. Players (as I've surprisingly found ...

Syndicate

....argh...I feel compelled to respond.

Here are a few reasons I have RARELY allowed "Super powered" characters in my games:

1) Can obviously get just a bit unbalancing (depending on power set)
2) It seems to promote a certain amount of "player laziness" as these characters rarely have a beginning ...

I've almost never used the CS in my games. The few times I do they're usually pulling strings on the back-end or colorful scenery during a merc mission.

This is because I know how deadly they can be, and I'd almost certainly end-up killing at least one member of the character group every other ...

I'm a bit late to the party...but better late than never. Firstly, it sounds like you will be an excellent player for your GM. Hat's off to you for coming to the forums to do some research on the character you'd like to play. Likely, you've already settled on something but I thought I'd still "chime ...

Hi Team,

Here are a few of my ideas:

*Host a few games and have the games posted to YouTube. These must be "entertaining" to some degree so players who've had a less than desirable experience with Rifts can see it in action with people who know the system.

Well...

Okay, so the group's been on a job to hunt down this gargoyle for a while now, they infiltrated it's mountain base, fought a lot of it's followers, but they had to retreat.

ISP Armor (Super Psionics)

The psychic can convert their ISP into a protective field around their body. It looks like a pale, glowing field extending one inch or so from the body. This gives numerous benefits. First of all, ISP is converted into SDC on a 2 to 1 basis- that is, divide the ISP in ...

I too think this is a great idea. There are a few canon references that speak of evil beings...being able to hide their auras for extended durations. This would explain how.

The only people who still choose it were the players trying to "munchkin-ize" there characters stats.

There are dragons and godlings and one or two other rather powerful rare races that could choose two classes, and have each of them progress at the same time if you really wanted a 4 element warlock.

Doing an alternate setting for Rifts. In my setting, techno wizards are forbidden magic users, much in the same way that necromancers are viewed in most game settings.

I have always thought that there should be some sort of psychic Man at Arms OCC that gained similar abilities as the Juicer or Crazy OCC, but through intense study and psychic focus (i.e., psionic powers instead of drugs or cybernetic implants) They wouldn't necessarily be as good as a Juicer or a ...

There is a spell in Rifter #25 called "Enhance Reflexes". That's about the closest they get.

Verisimilitude is more than just the world though; it has an equal amount to do with the characters in that world.

My unified Palladium Books theory is this: The authors don't do much/any continuity control for new products.

I think all common invocations should have a look over. Most are fine while others need a Tweak.

Death in Palladium seems fairly...reversible. For both players and various supernatural beings. Players can be resurrected. For Demons, Gods, etc, you get that "Yes! You killed them... but they just respawn in their own dimension and come back later" thing.

I would let the Psi-Bow deal more damage. In Rifts, that bow is useless. You're better off buying a longbow and magic arrows as soon as you get any money at all.
