As a side note - there is a ship that can take repeated blasts from the SDF-3 main reflex cannon without even being punctured (it would literally take hundreds of blasts to penetrate the hull of this ship). This is canonical. Does anyone know which ship it is? /Sub Mechanoid Mothership is the only ...

Untrue, I work in a toy store and a lot of the games for young children being made today are being hyped with the line "No reading needed to play".

In my Rifts games the most popular game in the Americas is "Deadboys and Dbees", and it ranges from the backyard game of "I shot you your dead""No you missed" to the videogame genre to even in Lazlo an MMO type game.

No, unless by dwarf you are refering to a midget. As for the Dogboys they are a disposable commodity produced by human ingenuity, so they are acceptable. Psi Stalkers are a human mutation that has been deemed acceptable, along with human psychics in general. Anything that comes through a rift is dee...

My suggestion is just use human life span and birthrate in comparison. Human life span average is 60 years, elves live 600 which is 10 times the human life span. Human birthrate is... say 2.5 as an average which would make the average elven birthrate at about 25 in a life time ... I feel sorry for t...

Another thing about military bases; since they are 'military targets', many military bases are deliberately built a 'safe distance' away from major population centers and cities. The theory being that if they are bombed, the cities and civilians are spared. By extension, this would also serve to al...

In regards to the supernatural elves and dwarves, one of the worlds within the UWW is dominated by the Norse pantheon so that could be a means of explanation.

New Midgard, pg. 92 of the Anvil Galaxy book.

All good info, thanks. But was also still wondering how others would deal with a Character with Body Hardening?

A TA that has the MoH pays normal cost to activate them, any other tats cost double. Any variation (as KC brought up) is an RP issue and should be handled that way. If your a TA that got your marks then got lost in the woods and raised by mutant sheep then you never got trained to use them so you pa...

For pass through damage I use a base of 10 to 1 for most, against explosives and certain other attacks 5 to 1.

I might be remembering this wrong. But with the RUE I'm pretty certain with AP missile you do x2damage if your to strike total was 18+, not just if you rolled 18+. Unfortunetly I'm at work and don't have my book with me so I can't verify my memory right now. You are correct, Armour-piercing missile...

Nxla666

Yeah. In my game, the magic divisions exist and the NGR will forcibly draft D-Bees into units to protect it's borders. Granted, it's just kind of like throwing them into the Gargoyle Meat Grinder, and they're not very nice about it, but on the rare occasion that someone actually BECOMES an officer,...

Len the Abolisher was introduced in Source Book 1, original print, so it pre-dates CWC by a while.

Nxla666

The way its written, no, and as CL already said it wasnt in the original either.

Nxla666

*SIGH* Len, Dog you do realise that both of your arguments are broken right? You cant give one side an advantage it doesnt have just by saying it can modify a cargo plane then say the other side cant build a missile capable of shooting it down. The Jager is only slightly tougher than the original SA...

I wonder what that thing is on page 213 of Rifts: Underseas. From the size of it, it looks like it would give the NGR Navy the advantage over....just about anything in the water.

Such a war wouldnt happen while the two nations still had any kind of a credible threat to its security. Neither the CS or NGR are stupid enough to engage in such. In a world where the NGR didnt have to fight the gargoyle empire and the CS didnt have so many enemies (both real and imagined), then th...

Nxla666

Pure speculation on my part, but isnt part of the CS hesitance about the NGR the fact the the Germans have a (to the CS) disturbing tendency to not shoot every mage and d-bee that they see. The NGR will even allow non-hostile human like d-bees to "squat" within the NGRs borders but are not...

This thread is not intended as a complaint/vent but more as a curiosity answerer. the players I have are good within their spheres... I do not expect everyone to be original.

The Beast wrote:White Zombie is the name of a movie? I thought it was just a band.

I believe its actually the first movie to ever deal with "zombies", though its the traditional voodoo zombies and not the flesh-eating ones.

Stars Bela Lugosi, look it up it awesome for a 1932(?) movie IMO.

Nxla666

Yes.

Inspired character concept: "What OCC is closest to a SPARTAN?"

Emulated character concept: "How can I play a character like Master Chief?"

Rip-off character concept: "This is my character, you can call him 'Sgt. Major'."

I usually allow "inspired" characters but direct ripoffs are looked at like the crap they are.

My current group knows that I reward creativity and ignore carbon copies so its not an issue to me as much anymore.
