If taking the grumpy ones logic he should be complaining to himself for his own use offensive language. Since he is not, he is just being hypocritical in his own statements, since his deeds say it is alright to insult and troll others. Not to be a jerk, but "the grumpy one" identifies as ...

Completely agree with you. I've had this idea rolling around in my head since my last game fell apart due to stay-at-home orders last year. I actually did a write up for a short campaign based off of the idea and was totally geared up to run it online for my group before . . . well . . . people star...

This exact thought for adapting Dead Reign has been rolling around in my head as well. That being said, I know too many people who have lost folks to the virus to ever be comfortable ever actually using it in play. Just seems . . . disrespectful? That also being said, if you decide to expand on this...

Yeah, and now you said something they are liable to shut it down.

Was I not supposed to say something?

Dang, this is some serious thread necro right here. 14 years!

Personally, I'd handle it one of several ways: 1. Make up a "Breaking & Entering" skill that covers everything involved other than actual lock picking. Use that to expand character's abilities. 2. Just allow the Pick Locks skill to do more than it officially is capable of. (This is pr...

Glad you like it! I'd love to do more; I've got a huge plot arc for the town in my mind. We'll see how 2021 turns out; 2020 flat-out curb-stomped me! I honestly did. I hope that 2021 turns out better for everyone. I haven't had it as bad as a lot of people, but I honestly feel like a shell of who I...

I thought that something was off when I read that Eddie's age was 9 instead of the 8 in the last story. This is a very sad, yet very sweet ending for those two characters. I will say that you got me fairly attached to the kid with the first post, now I actually feel a bit melancholic that he's gone ...

Captain_Nibbz

You know... I'm not sure if I ever posted it here. I wrote it quite a while back, and haven't reread it in a while. I think this one's better, but I'll look around for it. If it's not already in the forums, I'll post it! (I gave that one to Kevin to read once, but if he ever read it, he never got b...

Captain_Nibbz

Daaaaaaaaang. Now THIS I like. You've done an excellent job setting the scene and getting the feel for both the town and the setting. I also very much like the characters, and how if you know what you're looking for you can see whats about to happen. I'm not as well versed in Rifts, but was that bo...

Oh man, I'm just dipping my toes into mini painting and this is blowing my mind that you know how to do all this stuff

Captain_Nibbz

Oooh I really like what you did with the Phoenix Empire. I love the idea of the Kittani mercs being turn-coat at the crucial points, as well as how they interact with the normal troops. Additionally, I think that the government structure is a really strong idea and adds some good depth to the area.

Captain_Nibbz

Just finished reading the Congo. I LOVE the idea of the people living in the arcologies being forced out and basically becoming nomads because of the early days. I feel like there aren't a lot of good nomadic cultures in the Rifts canon (though I'm not as well read in that as I want to be). I also l...

Just read in the weekly update that the open house has been delayed until 2022. I must say the decision makes me a little sad, but I respect the logic and can't imagine the decision was easy since now we're going to miss the 40th Anniversary of the company

Captain_Nibbz

This is really good stuff. I need to finish reading through it but my only concern would be what we see in North and South America and that is making it too full. When I did my original Four Horsemen campaign the players went days without finding any human or d-bee settlement so I would need to kee...

I've expanded the Uganda post with a local history and more local details. I'm centering the political and power structure of Uganda around three Millennium Trees and the groups that use each tree as home bases and bastions. I really like this expansion on Uganda. I think that makes for a much kore...

Captain_Nibbz

Just finished reading everything again. I am absolutely loving this so far. Two thoughts though: The Congo seems a little bit weak in detail compared to the other areas, do you have any plans or ideas for expanding on this area? Additionally, Uganda has some really good foundations going for it thus...

As a basic layout, it looks clean and clear to me. I like your stated goals for the book, and you have already done the hardest part - planning your outline. I have every confidence in you. Thanks! This actually makes me feel pretty good going forward. I hope that I can use this thread as a way to ...

Captain_Nibbz

Both?

Right now I think I'm mainly asking to see if anyone has any advice or if there was any glaring issues with my layout idea or if there was a glaring gap in what I'm planning

Captain_Nibbz

The real answer: The land is flat, therefore easy to put a big city on. You would be so surprised how much easier that makes things. I often wonder, going through the mountainous states, why did these people choose to live on the sides of these hills? Do they just like to do things the hard way? Bu...

Hey All, This is an evolution of a bunch of ideas that I'm turning over. I want to make my own Palladium Setting book, including core rules and an overview of the area. However, I'm running into a couple of issues with this as the scale of everything is a bit overwhelming. So here is what I'm thinki...

To Everyone: What would you say is the most complete core rulebook from the palladium megaverse. I may or may not be bored at work (and have been for weeks now) and I'm looking at writing my own homebrew setting using the palladium rules. I want to use another core book as a way to cherry-pick the r...

What if Thoth also wants the Book of Heroes? Or at least a portion of it or something similar. Makes sense that if he wants a rare book, that he might want THAT rare book. That being said that feels a little too quantum ogre to me personally. But if the Gunslinger's main qualm with getting rid of it...

I've had a similar thought and have played with the idea of a Stamina stat that would go up with their levels but never got it quite right in my head, let alone down on paper as something usable.

Overall it sounds like your players are very lucky to have you as a GM. That game sounds like a blast so far

I'd get rid of all the racist stuff, and dial back on the stereotypes. Ok, to open this can of worms, what are the racist stuff and stereotypes that you refer to?

I would eliminate everything outside of the North American setting and use the material for the rest of the world to flesh out NA better. Obviously some things would need to be tweaked to make this work, but I think that it would overall make for a more detailed and in depth setting over all.

You should feel free to spam the message boards (in my opinion). We could do with a bit more life and discussion around here that doesn't swirl around the use of the rules. As far as your current dilemma, I'm not terribly familiar with the book that you're going through right now. I would think that...

Ok, I went a little overboard with this, but it's been on my mind for a while since someone on one of the FB groups posted a rather negative review of Africa. Anyway, those are my thoughts on how I might improve it. Happy to read yours. I wouldn't say overboard, so much as actually making me want t...

So hopefully not breaking rules here but, the book lists attributes as follows: Attributes: The number of six sided dice are designated.

I would vote moot point whereas we are still waiting on the two supplemental books that were originally supposed to come out shortly after the 2e core books.

As far as updating skills and equipment, I actually do the opposite and run my games in the 1980's so that I don't have to worry about it

Captain_Nibbz

I guess its just me then!

Either way, just got my preorder in the mail this morning! Can't wait to settle in tonight, crack it open, and have mini-panic attacks about the parallels between a zombie outbreak and our current health crisis!

I love the concept of this new mech. I can't wait to see the rest of the "band". I'm imagining a three piece band marching into battle accompanying the Patriot in a bombastic clash of brass and fireworks as they rent themselves out to the highest bidder with the best patriotic ideals.

Man, not going to lie, that propaganda was starting to work on me. Even if this isn't official canon I think its given me a better view into the CS than most of the stuff that I've actually read.

Good work!
