I wonder about specifics of conversion in a RP setting. Would a post using say, The Hoffman Institute, but not making any stats, which you wouldn't use in on LS.org be a conversion?

Hey, welcome! I think I like this. I know I like how it basically seems like a normal weapon when used by a normal human. I might still make it indestructible always, because that just adds a "Huh?" factor to it when under scrutiny. It doesn't leap out as a giant red flag, though. Thanks ...

What a great thread! Thanks very much. This should be stickied!

Hello, this is my first post here. I have just started a Nightbane campaign in Calgary (hometown of course). I thought I would post my policy in regards to the Nightblade debate. In my game, I'm taking inspiration from Beyond the Supernatural 2nd Ed. All nightblades are normal weapons unless the fo...

If I remember correctly, the old Alternity setting had a connection between Bigfoot and Greys. (They called the Grays something different.)

Don't forget Times Beach, St. Charles is supposedly pretty haunted as well as Bonne Terre, someone already mentioned the Lemp Mansion, and East St. Louis is GREAT place for people to just vanish I remember my dad by this place a few times when he'd take us to the nearby boy scout camp. I SO wanted ...

I went to High School with a guy who had moved to my hometown in the spring of 85 from St. Claire, MO. Which was the town that absorbed some of the populace of Times Beach. He said that the kids from there...weren't quite right. They would do things like get into fights in science class with acid...

No, you didn't drop the ball. It's always the perogative of a GM to deviate from canon. You've got some clearly stated reasons why you want to change things. It doesn't matter what you do in your game, as long as you stay internally consistant.

Next month, I really plan on revisiting my Caprice/Nacathra/Victor Woodruff connection. I made one post this summer and fizzled.

Although we are using the Beyond the Supernatural games as a creative landmark, you are not limited to that setting. Your entry could be designed for the BtS world, the past or future, any other Palladium setting (such as Nightbane, Heroes Unlimited, Mystic China, etc.), your own original setting, ...

Excellent thoughts. These should also go in the “GM advice Section” in the “Victims” book you are working on.

@ Thor's Hammer, you were referring to the Revised Sourcebook 1, right?

I was wondering if there were any plans for a republican sourcebook that would build on the info provided in RIFTS SOURCE BOOK ONE ? To my knowledge, there has been no announcement of plans for a Repulican sourcebook. However, given their ties to NEMA and the way that Palladium has been continuing ...

Here you are.

Just download and re-save.

That was the consensus. I was just looking to see if there was something in real life that fit the bill.

Hey friends, Anyone familiar with South Carolina to suggest a river that would be navigable by boat to lead from somewhere in the Steeltree Forest to somewhere closer to the coast?

Not per Rules as Written, with a couple of caveats: BTS2 has different rules now for ISP now with the proximity of threats, and the rules for PPE is supposed to follow the same suit.

Now it's time to read Z's adventure hooks!!!! Regarding "Deep Black Sea" That's just a super cool adventure! It also solves a nice problem in my planning of a Phase World Campaign. I've got three linked adventures that occur in the past, and then wanted a way to bring the characters forwa...

See, that's the part of this system I don't like. There should be stats for all this stuff. If I wanted to make up stats, then I might as well just make up an entire game system. Thanks all for the input. Needs at least Robotic PS of 30 to operate. +1 strike, -2 parry. 3D12 + 16 M.D. critical strik...

lol It's very subtle, but yes, the construction of the central maglev line on the Cujomaya homeworld is in serious trouble. And it is also hinted that a certain TVIA Inspector ened his Thundercloud tour there before returning to Tarra Prime, and quitting his job in disgust. Outstanding! I love the ...

I hope that there's a certain adventure hook about building a bridge.

Hi guys, I offered to take over the Project if Matthew didn't want it anymore. Matthew offered to talk with Kevin about it. Well, it's been two or three weeks since the Open House, and I don't know where we stand. It's been probably a couple of months since I heard from Matthew. It's been since Dec...

According to here, which is current only to Rifter # 44, the only entry for Xiticix is Rifter # 3, page 61...Which later became expanded into WB 23, The Xiticix Invasion.

I think its a crappy vehicle. Its slow, big, not very well armored for its size and barely able to defend itself. On top of that you could buy a fleet of hover vehicles that would to the explorer's job better for a fraction of the price. Aww is it too much RP and not enough hack and slash for you? ...

What kind of card?

Any chance that you nice folks who are there, can recap your experiences for those of us who can't make it?

As written, the player characters in the CERPG are basically all superhumans with high technology and good resources. Hopefully First Responders helps in that area, as it will provide decidedly non-powerful classes. Right. Chaos Earth is an offshoot of Rifts, and Rifts is about playing larger-than-...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Ended up having to cancel the convention appearance anyway. The transmission on my van died, and it became logistically impossible for me to be out of town at the time.

Maybe. That is useful. I actually should have said, missing a leg.
