Hey, 1. What is the average starting PPE of normal people? Coalition Soldiers? 2. A person sometimes get's two instances of the same skills. Do you get a bonus for taking two instances of the same skill? Edit: 3. How far can someone throw? I remember seeing a table somewhere...but for the life of me...

Most of Levels 4 and deeper remain unexplored. Levels 2 and 3 remain mostly unexplored. I'm trying to decide where I should put a "commons" room, or whatever the large break room is called. A long with a cafeteria.

Thanks for the reply.

Joseph Kerr

Hey, This is kind of a long read, my apologies. In any case, I could use some help. I'm running a new Rifts campaign and my players have found an abandoned N.E.M.A. R&D Base. It's 8 levels underground, with a primary housing chamber being accessible from levels 7 and 8. The housing chamber also ...

Rianthenor from either Galaxy Guide, Heroes Unlimited Game Masters Guide, or Aliens Unlimited.

Joseph Kerr

there's probably better examples, but the bottom line is you don't have to look super-muscular, like the steroid-fanatic the Juicer OCC would require. Take a look into Juicer Uprising and find the female team, The Valkyries. While some of them arguably are pretty muscular, they are still pretty nor...

Hello, Last weekend I watched 8 episodes in a row of the TV show Supernatural. This got me really inspired to run a similar themed game. Would Beyond the Supernatural be capable of doing so? Thanks, MikeM I'm not sure what you mean? What "theme"? The horror/mystery theme that BtS is alrea...

Joseph Kerr

There is a power in PU3 that has been talked about for this. I can't remember the name, but it protects the suit from that sort of damage. Make it a cheap supervision created by the group's resident genius, a gift from a government contact (maybe with a tracking device, or bug hidden inside?), or b...

Joseph Kerr

Alright, so not long ago did i reply to Jefffars post with the mention of writing a summary of my first BtS game, and a few moments later i got a request to do it. Well, here it is.: ---- Chicago, Sept 10th, 2006. Time of day: 3:03 PM. Weather: Cloudy, with a storm approaching. Beginning.: A detecti...

Joseph Kerr

Heh, awesome, i could have used this last night/early this morning. But noooo, i had to search Wiki myself. Oi... GM'd my first game of BtS. Went wonderful anyways. Used Spring Heeled Jack, a Mothman reference and hint, and a cursed item along with an abandoned building that housed a week old murder...

Joseph Kerr

I wouldn't recommend a temporal game or anything involving alternate dimensions for a first time game, especially since your newer to the setting in terms of GMing. I enjoy the idea of a kidnapping scenario, it's simple and not overdone, make sure you try to get them to cooperate with each other, an...

Joseph Kerr

again, that's not necessarily true, because not all eugenics characters are test tube babies. most of them are altered later in life for a variety of reasons. up to age 13--not really time to learn any relevant skills. It then later reads adults can be used aswell, if physically or mentally impaire...

Joseph Kerr

Favorite moments: #1: Flash speeding around the world delivering punch after punch to Luthor/Braniac. #2: Superman and Captian Marvel power punching either other in the middle of a city, causing a shockwave of sorts to ripple out, sending each other through buildings. #3: Superman decking Darksied t...

There was made mention, during the freelancer panel, that they do have plans for the west coast of Rifts' north america. I believe it was Carmen Bellaire who wanted to do this, in which it was titled "Shining California" or some such, in which CA is now the grounds for Hollywood. Which ha...

Joseph Kerr

(The shortest of the California Contingency, but with the coolest tat of M.D.C. Gunz ) Well said my friend, the whole event seemed very down to earth. Everyone was friendly and i didn't get the high-standing feeling one might expect from such well known authors and artists. Overall i felt safe, comf...

Joseph Kerr

M.D.C. Gunz, what else would a person expect from palladium gamers at 5:30 in the morning? I totally forgot it was on my arm... So it was awesome meeting you and your brother, always been a fan of your work, and my little bro was freaking when i showed him all the signitures i got for him and the li...

Joseph Kerr

Dude, i wish you were here! That would have rocked. Perhaps at another convention in the future? Have a good one.

Also, a self edit: "One UNrelated to the forums."

Joseph Kerr

So, we've met up with two groups, one forum related, the other was Ubistvo. SO...where's everyone else?

Joseph Kerr

Hey hey! Me and my companions (Kaz included!) are wonderin where everyone is?! Our room number is 576, so reply and leave your own room #, also we looked into that game that supposedly would start at 6:30, and after a lengthy search for the room (This hotel is seriously in some kind of time..space p...

Joseph Kerr

I've always enjoyed this idea and have played around with it a few times. Generally, i thought the morphus reflected a persons true soul, so i have used some of the examples you stated before. Though for false/manipulated changes ala something like Soultwist, their change is minor but noticeable, su...

Joseph Kerr

Allowing a legitimate shapeshifting power, even for the already maleable Plasmoid morphus, is like letting a mage get a full bionic conversion but still be able to use his magic unimpeded. And what about the ones that could pass for human? I suppose they're already the mage with a full bionic conve...

Joseph Kerr

he'll have to wait till he can get the Reshape Facade Ability I'd like to point out She has Reshape Facade already . --- As for the power itself you suggested, it seem's to work. 30 PPE isn't cheap, but as a person levels up it'd become alot easier to throw the Talent on (Of course). I'd atleast cu...

Joseph Kerr

This sounds rad - but of course I love the subversion of childhood classics. I was just thinking the other day about the Superfriends episode where Aquaman, Superman and Wonder Woman have to play Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion for Mxyzptlk's amusement ... Anyway, it sounds like you intend to have the ...

Joseph Kerr

Awesome, thanks for the replies. Brains still storming with ideas, just trying to sort through it and find the eye of the storm to get a good grasp on the subject. To make note, i'm thinking about making this an online game , so i am searching for players. If anyone would like to speak with me more ...

Joseph Kerr

My latest game idea that i've been tinkering with. ----- The wonderful world of Oz has never been so fun as seen through the eyes of a deranged Astral Lord. The players are 3 nightbane, stolen from the real world by the Lord, who's modeled his astral domain to mimic the Land of Oz. The nightbane hav...

Joseph Kerr

The Juggernaut would be best as a CGI character, as no human being has the body capable of being the Juggernaut (6'9", 900 lbs, with a forearm as thick as persons' waist). The classic Juggernaut was a real whiner, blaming Charles for his crappy life (as well as the fact that his father used to...

Joseph Kerr

I would say no to both, as B has not yet gained any of his supernatural abilities and does not radiate his inner potential and would read as normal human. On page 85, under " The Two Sides of the Nightbane ", it says after their becoming their supernatural nature manifests itself, and unde...

Joseph Kerr

Gallaher: Mhmm, i've seen Gilgamesh and Beowulf and have considered them aswell. I suppose i'll just have to bone up on my mythologies and see what i can manage from them. Nerdbane: I suppose, it's not that they're power gamers....it's just...they don't play by their characters too well. I'm going t...

Joseph Kerr

Gallaher: Yes, i am most interested in introducing a third force. I attempted to do so with the unknown enemy at the warehouse, but the problem is Group B is horridly gung ho in 'evily' attacking Group A. Interestingly, Group A is comprised of what i would call my Role players, while Group B is comp...

Joseph Kerr

Alright, so, friday/saturday i ran a Nightbane game for 6 of my friends. It was pretty fun, but i'd enjoy some help and suggestions for things to come. So please bare with me and let me explain what happened. -------- So, we started character creation, when a split suddenly appeared. A few wanted t...

Joseph Kerr

The Black Panther? Really. Now that has potential. Definitely buying this once I finish the paperwork for the new job. I must agree, and if the unknown animation is stuff from the second movie, then it will be even better. The style, coloring, angles, all seemed so much better than this first movie...

Joseph Kerr

Just picked it up today, liked it, but it felt rushed in many places. Getting all the heroes together, the plot, and the many subplots. It was neat though, and enjoyable. But I enjoyed it, and at the same time it left me wanting more. Hopefully there will be a follow-up to continue on with the story...

Joseph Kerr

I've heard both Sandman and Venom will be in the movie, and have also heard nothing on Mysterio.

I would have also enjoyed Topher Grace playing Hobgoblin much more than the Ultimate version of Eddie. Anyone elses oppinion on that?

Joseph Kerr

GMing one as an NPC would just be easier and less fussed over, infact people would prolly prefer it if you started up a game. : )

Joseph Kerr

Why exactly does your GM want him to play to GM you guys Rifts? I'm not exactly sure i'd care to play with a player who quit because he died. Big whoop, get over it and start rolling up a new character. Of course, it may depend upon the situation of his demise. Can you go into further detail of what...

Joseph Kerr

Topher Grace playing Venom? I hope not. I heard he was going to play Hobgoblin, who he would fit alot better. Plus, i think introducing the Hobgoblin would be fun, especially if they chose to make Harry the 2nd GG. Just think of the glider fights with Spidey inbetween! I suppose he would fit the cha...

Joseph Kerr

Yes, i was refering to the Four Horsemen. I'll try and get some more concrete stuff for you guys if anyones interested? Also, anymore oppinions on the expanded category submissions?

Thanks,

Joseph

Joseph Kerr

Alright, so a few months ago i was hit with an idea for a new character category for HU. Then, a few days later after that i was hit with another. I now have 8 new character categories in progress, 2 of which are merely expansions of categories found in HU, another 2 of which may deserve their own s...

Joseph Kerr

Well..since combining APS's are illegal in game rules... In the APS: Fire abilities, it lists "4. Radiate Heat" Which states that the character can generate no more than 140 degrees fahrenheit. If you dont like that, i suppose you could use the heat chart for Circle of Flame ability. Allowing the ch...

Joseph Kerr

Again, Who is the Munchkin? Certainly Not CJ Oh yes, certainly...*Rolls eyes* You've conveniently left out Juicer Uprising and Pantheons. The first gives us such classes as the Mega-Juicer's, Delphi-Juicers, Dragon Juicers, etc.. the latter book contains beings which, granted they are gods, are vas...

Joseph Kerr

The mighty man I see this character being a Mega-Hero with such powers that enable him to overcome normal weaknesses. The man of war Instantly when i read this one i thought Android. It just seems neat to me. So i like the idea of using an Android for this one. The judge Hrm, Gestalt: Plant or Gest...

Joseph Kerr

The closest you'll get in HU for a player category for demons was already mentioned. PU2 offers players the choice of playing Lesser Demons, Demon Lords, Angels or other Spirits of Light, and a variety of supernatural critters. Hrm, as for where they would fit i generally assume demons and so forth ...

Joseph Kerr

He got a job offering? I'm not sure what you dont understand.

In my oppinion many of the things CJ has created are cool like none other, but sadly he just put them on a different scale compared to most things in palladium and much of his stuff came out munchkin.

Joseph Kerr

The Major power in PU, Spiral/Vortex, allows you to shoot blasts of water granted that your near enough to a source of water or standing in it. Geo-Thermal Energy, another major, while not allowing you to shoot the water from your hands can create Geysers of pressurized hot water which after being c...

Joseph Kerr

In Galaxy Guide they have the Frame Reconstructing System. You can get this upgrade twice allowing your robot to shift to a boat or car or back to bot form.

So yes, HU does have transforming robots.

Joseph Kerr

You people did a nice job of derailing this topic, talk about FLCL somewhere else. I enjoy the idea of this ability very, very much! I would suggest limiting a character by allowing a stigmata/alien shape as a prerequisite, perhaps even furthering it by allowing those with the trait extra mouths bei...

Joseph Kerr

Yes, Eugenics is more than just "Injections" Which would be more along the lines of the Imbued Hero. Eugenics involves splicing the DNA of the subject, or even growing it from the ground up. Its much more than what you seem to think it is. I'm not sure if this has been addressed, but one of the bigg...

Joseph Kerr

They have Nano Bots in GG for both Bionic's and Robotics. Plus a few neat things such as the Frame Reconstruction System.

Joseph Kerr

Hmm, well i got into Rifts thanks to my big brother. He had a friend DM us a game fo D&D and we were instantly hooked on Role Playing Games. When i say we, i meant my little brother, my older bro was allready into RPing. A few weeks later they showed us Rifts, all i can remember is that i jumped...

Joseph Kerr

I'm curious, would Palladium allow such a creation of a fan made Nightbane movie? I mean, they allow fiction and art....i believe...the movie would not be for profits and such. I'm wondering this because, shockingly, i wish to make such a thing. I first however, wish to make a 3-5 min teaser, to rai...

Joseph Kerr

Huzah, i have joined thee!

It looks interesting, hopefully i'll make some new friends
