Good work Hotrod!

Thats basically what I've been imagining as well

This is now my new favorite thread.

I really do love this image. I like the idea of the Patriot wandering out for scouting missions or something similar and using the drone like one of those trained falcons that you see in movies and in books. Sending the Patriot out on recon is like sending Rhinestone-Suit Elvis out to covertly pick...

Captain_Nibbz

How about a robotic bald eagle that sits on the Patriots shoulder and flies around in combat designating targets and act as a spotter? The Patriot is such a good idea, with all of the mods it has certainly earned a place in my game. This idea (same name, different frame) may also make an appearance...

Hi me. OK, ready for alpha testing and the endless cycle of playtest/editing/playtest. YAY. Any ideas on who may be interested to have it emailed to them? LOL.... Anyway, I've got 15 pages of rules (mostly charts) and a few pages of excel with the unit stats on them. I would post them here, but cha...

Definitely preordering this one despite the infamous risk of doing so. I can't wait to get my hands on it! I assure you, there's no risk my friend. The cover is finished, artwork is rolling in (I've seen some of them and loving it all) and Kevin has my manuscript and is working on editing it now. I...

Update: I submitted "Creature Feature" to Palladium late last night. I've also seen some of the upcoming artwork for it. Things are happening. A new Dead Reign book at the printers, and a new BtS sourcebook submitted? It isn't Christmas right? Because I feel like its Christmas (and a sola...

Oooooh I didn't catch that myself, that puts a fabulous spin on an already fun piece of equipment

Captain_Nibbz

Could you maybe give a bit more detail on the scope and standard practices of how you run your combat? I'd like to give some advice for how I do things, but it might help to see what you're doing as well.

Captain_Nibbz

Just saw the new mini-update, looks like the new book is AT the printers! Needless to say I sent in my pre-order as soon as I saw the news. Is anyone else as excited about this release as I am?

Captain_Nibbz

My wife and I are planning on making the trip to Mecha (see what I did there? I think I'm clever) Yes, you are very clever, we are all so proud of you. Now go get a cookie out of the jar. lol I cracked open a box of gingersnaps RIGHT before I read your comment. Thats some good timing right there. W...

AutoFlag This is a flagpole-style staff weapon that was donated by a North American arms manufacturer to the owners of Patriot. The AutoFlag is a yard-long cylinder holding several nested sections of memory metal alloy inside it, and a powerful air pump and motor in the haft. Powered up, the air pu...

Its been a while since I read through Systems Failure, does it touch on if the bugs can use leylines for travel? Seeming as they travel along energy pathways, I wonder how they would interact with this kind of thing.

Captain_Nibbz

I promise that I'm skimming this when I get a chance but everything in my life is on fire because . . . well yeah So far I think that this build system looks pretty solid. I might corner my wife one of these weekends and maybe do a bit of messing around with it. No promises unfortunately since, agai...

Captain_Nibbz

Keep it coming. I'm watching and I'll post when I can lol

Captain_Nibbz

Maybe some more examples here.

On the one hand, that does sound right . . . but at the same time perspective might help it be easier to swallow that number

Captain_Nibbz

I personally have smashed together Dead Reign (small outbreaks caused by minions of the Nightlords and necromancers), Beyond the Supernatural, and some super toned down elements of Chaos Earth (my eventual idea was to have the Cataclysm be something caused by the nightlords down the line, so I was s...

Captain_Nibbz

Ah yeah, I'm excited for this one! I can't wait to see what you produce with this.

(Also I think the URL didn't work for the link you intended to put in.)

Captain_Nibbz

I'm ruminating on an idea to smash all of the Palladium settings and worlds together and I'm looking for advice. I was going to link the Megaversal Super Campaign thread, but I realised you made it. Obviously, some ideas can be reused; but this is almost a completely different monster all together....

Captain_Nibbz

Hey, thanks for all the replies everyone. There was a lot more to this answer than I was expecting. It is very nice to have this perspective and it actually kind of explains a lot about some of the sentiments that I've heard in the past regarding the forums and the company.

Captain_Nibbz

I'm wanting to incorporate things as best as I can. A few different things are going to need to be addressed down the line (mainly SDC and MDC), but I think that the idea of Tolkeen dealing with both the Nightlands AND possible negotiations with Century City is more or less what I'm aiming for. I'm ...

To all the GMs out there, I'm ruminating on an idea to smash all of the Palladium settings and worlds together and I'm looking for advice. The basic idea was stolen from another poster on the forums when talking about the Rifts setting in particular. They mentioned that there was the idea that when ...

Palladium released an excellent resource called the Compendium of Contemporary Weapons awhile back. If you can get your hands on it, I think it has the prices for these weapons and a lot more. As far as errata released for the book itself, I have no idea.

Captain_Nibbz

I can definitely see the line of logic for letting medical skills aid in the surgery, but I personally don't think that I would ever wave the requirement for the psychic diagnosis as it is specifically called out for being needed. As an alternative however, what would you guys think of having a succ...

Question to some of the old timers on the board. I keep seeing a reference to something called the Cabal of 24 when cruising through old posts and what not. Can anyone explain what this is/was? And why is NMI PROUD to not be a member?

Thanks in advance!

Then provide me a link because you might have found the holy grail of tabletop gaming. You want the battletech forums. they've relentlessly work...

Um...then they would be guidelines...not rules... Rifts rules are looser than a newborn's stool. Like, seriously, even they are not written to be a tightly integrated machine. They are written to shamble forward, with the GM and players running around, applying patches they can all live with. And a...

Oh, great. Why didn't they proof-read and change things so it wouldn't reference Alaska? Sounds like they tried to and just missed some of the references. Good thing its the RAW Preview and not the actual book, right? Then again, they could have... just left it as Alaska? I mean, that would have be...

I don't really pay attention to the addiction rules, since they are based on outdated concepts of addiction in the first place, IMO. I don't think they model 'real life' very well at all. I sort of agree and disagree at the same time: I like how they allow you to become an addict, and the consequen...

Captain_Nibbz

Belated Merry Christmas to all of you!

Captain_Nibbz

I assume that the purpose is just for fun?

Either way, I would like to see this book personally. I've been enjoying the RAW previews so far.

Do you have a page reference on this one by any chance? I'm trying to sift through to find these guys (but I'm at work and its not working well

You're kind of reinforcing my point here. Every example you gave is using the skill with the goal of improving the skill (gaining experience) or is necessary for gameplay. Do you make your players roll a language skill for every sentence they speak in game?I'm guessing not, even though they are act...

What do you guys think so far? I take it this means you have it. Can you post the table of contents? I am assuming a couple of submissions have not made it, but I want to be sure. ( Assuming they haven't, I am going to to post them in appropriate spots on the boards. ) To answer my own question, th...

My vote is for P.E.

Whats the point in being able to hit something well, or hit it hard, if you get taken down by a house cat before your adventure begins?

That being said, your arguments have me thinking now . . .

Captain_Nibbz

Got my surprise package in the mail today Proceeded to have an internal crisis on whether to open it now and see what was in there, or to wait until Christmas and run the risk of accidentally ordering two of the same book. Decided in the end to open it, check the contents and then reseal it without ...

Captain_Nibbz

Yeah then I think he totally violated the code personally. Voting for all three sections. If he did it just because he could then he's completely violating the "respect life" and to me thats a pretty dishonorable thing to do, killing someone for no reason why you're planning on surrenderin...

Before I cast my vote, how did the player role-play this action. I feel like the intent behind the actions is more what will determine my answer to this.

Captain_Nibbz

I haven't gotten my hands on it yet. I'm looking forward to seeing what it has in it though!

Selfishly putting in a vote for The Southwest as it would be the most useful to me at the moment
