Sorry to hear that dude. Sounds like this 'Alex' goob wasn't being professional at any point in the process... or at the very least you got some bad information from that 'regular.' I've been told that a good way to protect yourself is by mailing yourself a copy of your artwork in a sealed envelope...

You, sir, are my hero.

Or you could call it the Raven... a large number of which is called a 'parliament', which is probably more hated and fear-inspiring than even a murderer.

I was just thinking about this, for the heck of it, and came up with two (and a half) different ways of implementing such a thing. Both, of course, would require a lot of converting. One : In order to damage an armored target, you would need to do enough damage in one shot to exceed the target's dam...

What I want to know is how does a nuclear generator of any kind power rockets and jets without any jet fuel? IE a SAMAS. Is there any possible way? It's probably just a nuclear jet. Turbines suck in air, it gets super-heated by the nuclear reactor (maybe even to plasma temperatures, but I doubt it)...

The Starling?

No...levels 1-3 are the bottom levels. Remeber the quote you posted from the RMB? Chi-Town works like any other type of a high rise office building, ground level is level 1, level 2/floor 2 is next up, etc. Why... you're absolutely correct! I guess I had that bass-ackwards. Of course, levels 1-3 ar...

The description above . . . Does not seem to have anything to do with MHD processes . . . Oh, sorry... I guess I was kind sloppy. Yeah, thermionic conversion has nothing to do with MHD. I was under the impression that there were going to be problems attempting to artificially sustain a reaction lik...

How about Shrike? They're interestingly-gruesome small predatory birds.

Qev

Ok, go to the next page where it says levels 1-3 are the high security government levels. How does one get from those levels to level 4? Also might want to check out page 206 of the original RMB, under visitor papers. (Yes there really is a Dog Pack at every city gate) Yay! Dog Pack! Er... ahem. I'...

Maybe they're using some sort of thermionic converter, or possibly using the fusion plasma as some sort of MHD generator? That is also one I hadn't heard of. Ok, I admit this is only one source, but from [url=http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1984spte.symp..703F]here[/b], it says 7 W/sq cm @ 2000K. I g...

It may not make much sense, but you can't read too much into it. If you do, you'll end up hating rifts for things that just can't be techniqually possible. I know, I just like arguing for arguments' sake. It's called sophistry. For example: Cardboard is stronger than chromium (The stuff Glitterboys...

And trying to access even a minimum security area would almost guarante the spy being caught. Then brainwashed into giving false coordinates and released to return back to his "masters" and lure them into a trap. I never said anything about any level of secure area. The lowest levels of Chi-Town's ...

Also criminal law tends to lump all illicit drugs as narcotics. A peculiar quirk of US drug legislation, oddly enough, is that if any substance generates similar effects in its users as a known, Scheduled substance, that substance is also automatically scheduled. So technically, under their own law...

Mmmm, power armor...

None of the above. If there's anything I hate about the CS it's the fact that they waste their time and energy fighting tolkeen and killing harmless D-bees when there are baby eating demons running around unopposed. The CS should be going after the demon kingdom of calgary, the FoM and the Xiticix....

The strongest nukes written in the game are wimpy. Not going to do much at only 5D6X10 MDC past the 0 to 1000ft mark where it actually does decent damage. The CS, and the CS ALONE, are stated in Canon to have the old-fashioned, super-dirty, Earth's Crust-cracking HyperNukes of the Golden Age. THOSE...

everything in Chi-Town is dead from acute neutron radiation exposure. Just to nit-pick... GAMMA Radiation is what what makes Nukes so deadly afterwords... Neutron Bombs...release a quick burst of Neurton Radition, and ALL organics are atomized, leaving the building intact and ready to use. No leang...

I'm a damn goody-two-shoes. You may commence hating me now.

Umm... I'd put the rules in some kind of sensible order, instead of the dog's-breakfast they currently are. I'd get rid of a LOT of extraneous stuff, like the plethora of different saving-throw types, and the six billion different combat bonuses that may-or-may-not apply, depending on the phase of t...

Qev

I hate them because they're beautiful.

No, really.

Okay, I'm lying. They're wanna-be Nazis. Their uniforms aren't even as snappy as real Nazi ones, and the Nazis sucked despite the uniforms. So, yeah... the Nazi thing.

I think my favorite Rifts character was probably Mad Molly, my strange Dog Boy (er... Dog Girl) renegade. She had some almost suicidal habits (one of which was that she generally travelled about on her motorcycle without wearing any sort of MD armor, figuring a red leather jacket (with tassles!) was...

How is it so easy to gain access to vulnerable areas of Chi-Town? Where does this so-called regular human being, get their access to even a minimum security area? Aw, come on... everybody has spies spying on everyone else. It's the nature of states to do this. I'm talking about non-security areas, ...

My friend, there are some corpses that should not be exhumed. You know those horror films that start with the idealistic young explorer opening the skull-motif door to the dark tomb? You're in one.

Alignments are a useful framework for defining the core behavior of a character, though personally I don't like Palladium's alignment system all that much. Better would be a system where you choose one or two 'core attributes' of the character's personality, and then a set of secondary (ie. less inf...

Heh, I guess I just can't understand the writers' justifications.

Can someone please explain to me how Chi-Town could have possibly survived the war with Tolkeen? I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but, all it would take is three people, and one ER nuclear device, and Chi-Town is a radioactive grease-stain on the map. First person: A regular human being, a...

Of course, if you're allowing Heros Unlimited Conversions, I once made a character with metalform, immune to magic, and extremely resistant to psionics... that gets hard to beat.
