This debate has gone across campaigns for decades. I remember having a discussion with Randy McCall about Mega Damage just about when that new fangled game Rifts came to town. Then we talked about Beyond the Supernatural. He wouldn't tell me what had happened to Victor Lazlo It's fun to see it still...

I once made a mutant squid and enhanced it with Dr. Ferals BIO-E generating machine starting using the mutant octopus (with 2 extra tentacles) as a template. I believe the machine could add to BIO-E as well as stats and at a certain point the subjects gained super powers. I ended up with a very brig...

hbrika

I agree but do the non intelligent types of zombies dodge?

hbrika

Love the adventure hooks!

hbrika

This is great stuff. Thank you for all the hard work.

Makes me wants to play a city rat now our Worldy Sasquatch (random thought).

hbrika

I liked We Heard A Baby Crying, thanks for putting it up there.

Is Medical Emergency Available?

hbrika

I like it, it is a good intro to the game for someone wanting to start when the wave hits.

hbrika

Reading the Old Man Henderson link. I'm impressed and laughing my ass off.

hbrika

My point was more along the lines that the systems could have been modified during that time so this was no longer an issue =)

And heck give me Mechanoid Space while we are at it (not a snark it would be a hoot to read it)

hbrika

I remember similar discussions in the early 90s about MDC. Not sure whether to be sad or laughing that it is still happening over 30 years later.

hbrika

On call, always worrying and no sleep.

Many Palladium books are very slap stick. Now I want to run a 3 Stooges cross over.

hbrika

I’d have to think on what was the weirdest but there were a few I once had some sentient flowing spongelike creatures that lived in the sea come in through a Rift The PC who was working with the Invid (Yes it was Robotech Earth where one of the Rifts opened) was catching them to try to figure them o...

hbrika

The one space station is easily visible from the naked eye (according to Mutants in Orbit) so any decent telescopes made by major powers could see that the solar sail is being repaired and large ships leaving it. (which could spawn some cool adventures, or the citizens of certain powers demanding it...

Agreed

Another cool thing is that the Mechanoids are very psionic so it would be a very interesting battle.

hbrika

I’ll be honest when I read the title of this thread I was hoping for a Time Lord style crossover (maybe with a sarcastic guy with a big scarf even)

hbrika

That first sentence kills me.

Also they said "Oops" so likely proofreading (rushing) is the answer?

hbrika

I gave this a partial reread last weekend and found references to an Ark that was being worked on and a Stardrive nearly being finished. Interesting... And that probes had been to other stars. There could be a lot of campaign potential in there. And now i'm imagining an advanced probe with an ARCHI...

I gave this a partial reread last weekend and found references to an Ark that was being worked on and a Stardrive nearly being finished. Interesting... And that probes had been to other stars. There could be a lot of campaign potential in there. It also fits in the timeline in Transdimensional TMNT ...

hbrika

I can imagine the potential penalty for missing your point could be large (if you don’t have excess fuel, air etc).

Going to give this a re-read. I have some old ideas for the outer planets from my Gamma World days that I wouldn’t mind fitting into Rifts.

hbrika

Or course if you have traction drives then getting people to the outer system is a snap. You could even tow workhabitats and stations.. A company with a few bucks could make a freighter to tow small habitats and things Of course I always thought that the traction drive seemed out of place tech wise ...

hbrika

Agreed, if you have the cash and get a traction drive together with a self sustaining ship it’s a whole other ball game.

I always imagined that there were still some stations and outposts in the outer solar system, abandoned or maybe not.

hbrika

Lazlo's population surged 40% during the siege according to Aftermath p54, I live in a town of about 200,000 people. Even a few thousand refugees has caused labor and crime problems in the past. People without opportunity drift into gangs or anything that seems to offer an alternative. I can’t imag...

Encase a hostage's head in metal and nightbane need to figure out how to pry it open without killing them? the Ice Skating skill is at amssive penalties and really, who takes it ever? I’m picturing a scenario where the NightLord being so arrogant that he/she doesn’t have the skill and the whole com...

hbrika

Satellites today can see objects smaller than cars I imagine that people paranoid about quarantining a planet with more advanced technology can see a lot better. And mass mobilizations planet wide would be very watched. Because wars spur technological advancement and could direct attention up… As fo...

hbrika

As for children. They're covered in one of the books, but I forget where, but then I don't play children as player chars. Not my thing. Didn’t Beyond the Supernatural have a normal person class with normal skills you could roll on? I think they had rules for kids. I think I used them once for some ...

hbrika

I always wondered why the Orbital community never tried to contact some of the more advanced human Empires. For information sharing and such. Or a side group, obviously there has never been a player group in orbit There is always someone out to seek a buck or to explore a frontier. Some satellites t...

hbrika

I wish that I could have gotten Shadows of Light in paper. It’s a neat read. Some was okay and some was really really interesting.

I like your concept for your campaign! Please post updates.

hbrika

Sounds like a fun time, I am interested to hear on how you handle SAN checks and SAN loss?

The Victim class in BTS is a good one for NPCs

Is there a Palladium equivalent of Hobo? That was a great class in the Call of Cthulhu game it had a few good survival skills.

hbrika

I remember back in the day when Robotech and BTS and TMNT were new and fresh everyone took boxing to get that extra attack. That was in the late 80s… And over 30 years later it is still being debated. There seriously needs to be a players guide. Rather than paying for essentially the same skill list...

hbrika

Thanks for reminding me to do a reread of Mutants in Orbit. One of my favourites.

(And Transdimensional TMNT)

hbrika

I could have sworn that someplace in one of the Ordinary People, Civilian, or Survivor OCCs I saw a note that if nothing else was listed, characters got new skills at x, y, and z levels. No joy. Found it! Shadow Chronicles, p218: Additional Secondary Skills, for example, +1 at every 3rd level. Nice...

hbrika

This one has been stated by a few people: Publish basic engine rules and encourage forum users to write ad hoc modules. Heck even give some contributors a prize. The ideas could be along the lines of various hook line and sinker adventures that are in a lot of the books. I liked those. They can be i...

hbrika

Why not just get a boom box and crank it up, with people talking on tape or something. Zombies investigate noise and human voices and what have you. Put it inside or under a car, or any other simi safe location, hell put it in a tree. Then you don't have to use people... I like it. Just put it on t...

Daniel had lived through a time where governments took people away and “took care” of them perminantly. He did it himself for his government. He knew that something bad was going down. He could see that of many people had been taken to the hospital and not one came back. He got unhinged and went pos...

hbrika

I like that idea! Maybe some insight into a day in the life of a Mechanoid. Creey and neat Orbital and space combat would be cool The ABM war. Where did the Mechanoids go? What is that giant disc? Lots of background material of cultures and adventures. Make it a space opera like thing with lots of d...

hbrika

The clown sounds awesome. Even though clowns scare me I just get this mental image of this stressed out dude still in his clown costume doing whatever he has to to survive.
