I haven't picked up a Rifts book in almost 5 years, did they finally start using "Game Balance"? Cool. A MDC Zombie Rhino-Buffalo, eh, only if it has cybernetics and a few rail guns strapped on its back. Then it could be decent mount for a 1st lvl PC. Oh, and Hystrix, this is assuming you ...

How about this: What happens when you cast "Create Zombie" on a dead Brodkil?

In that case I would say you have a MDC zombie. How much MDC it has exactly is entirely up to the GM.

Rex

I think Rifts: Index 1 had an adventure in it. It wasn't anything spectacular or anything, but it should help you get the ball rolling. Mercenaries had one too.

Karl Prosek isn't afraid of Magic and DBee's, Magic and DBee's are afraid of Karl Prosek. Mrrlyn tried to corrupt Karl Prosek, but KP punched him so hard, he ended up in England. Cyberkights were supposed to have anti-Karl Prosek powers, but Lord Coake was too much of a pansy to fight the man direct...

Just by my friendship with Jack, I am honor bound to at least leaf thru the book. And yes, prolly buy it. If only to get it autographed.

Rex

I tried to get in the CE game on Saturday, but Slag said it seemed pretty packed. Perhaps I should have asked you directly. I ended up in a Free-form Cthulu game instead, which was OK.

Sorry I missed out, I really wanted to give it a chance.

Rex

Not really an errata per se, but I don't think the Coalition Medics should start with Medical Dr as a skill. At least they shouldn't be corporals if they do have the skill. Perhaps they should get the Field Surgery skill in CWC, I think it's in there, don't have it handy. And perhaps a new skill cal...

Rex

I know the answer, straight from the man who designed them himself. He even played a Royal Frilled in Carl Glebas Lost in Hades game.

I'm surprised nobody has brought the incident up yet...

Can this skill be taken twice, so it will be at a professional level?

yea. right now i'm going though all CS OCC's and filling out "missing" skills. such as the Elite RPA not having Pilot Robots and Power armor. also filling in "logcial" skills that an OCC should have to start with. i'll be posting them when i'm done. Don't forget the Special Forces OCC not having Je...

Has Darklord told you how my game's going? It sure sounds like he has.

I didn't know you two gamed together...

I'm going to try to visit when I'm home in August.

Temporal Warriors.

Gotta agree with my former boss.

God I love those things.

That reminds me, I have to finish making my PC for Rifts:Hades.

But it just seems so, well, dirty.

And good riddance! With that kind of firepower, as presented in SB4, the CS would effectively be able to wage war with Atlantis, the VK in Mexico, and the Lord of the Deep. All within the confines of the Mississippi. Boomers in the Great Lakes?!? And the Naval Infantry? Naval Infantry? Will Patrick ...

Hmm, that book was written before the rewrite of ATB. Pleasure Bunnies didn't exist in 1st ed.

Rex

I think not every road from the pre-Rifts days would be MDC. Just a few major highways, like 95. Not even then would they be fully intact, just noticeable. Aren't there still roads in Europe that the Romans built that haven't been maintained? They aren't in great shape, but you can still tell that t...

Rex

I would allow it.

Rex

Immune to vampire transformation? That's stupid. Cyberknight vampires just rule. Wow Tyc, for once I agree with you. I remember about 12 years ago reading something on AOL (this was after VK came out, and before the WWW became a household name) about different types of CK's. There were Cyber ranger...

Rex

I've had some of the major highways redone in a minor MDC 'permacrete'.

Rex

I thought Mutants in Avalon was the greatest source for mutant animals.

Where else can you find out an animals social ranking?

Rex

Rifts: Cut and Paste is way better than writing.

Rifts: Cutting the Gordian knot never seemed like a better idea.

Rifts: Keep buying the books, and we'll keep the rules confusing.

Rifts: Your first session will be devoted to house rules.

Rex

Good to see it back. I really missed the site.

I read the piece by Coffin, that really explains a lot.

Rex

That was almost frightening CK.

From what I understand the error came from when they cut and pasted from Heroes Unlimited. The supers were supposed to get TAFL, Rifts characters weren't. Golly, c&p seems to cause more problems then it solves.

Rex

I WANT A COALITITON SENATE!!! Sorry, not sure where that came from. Anyways, I think Old Carl is going to have to go out sometime. Probably not anytime soon, but since North America seems to be a soap opera of sorts the plot point will have to come up eventually. Maybe, the story of Rifts is really ...

Rex

I thought in Splynn it said you totally reroll stats, regardless of race. Sorry I don't have the page number, my books are on the other side of the planet.

Rex

I think it should work. Rifts needs more ideas like that. Epic quests for near mythical artifacts. I like it, for no other reason than that.

Rex

I remember reading that the Four Horsemen kill every living thing on a planet, even the insects that are on Pestilences body. This gave me the comedic idea of the FH spending weeks stomping on bugs.

Rex

I went with the FoM. Dunscan has the evil thing down pat. Prosek could just be misunderstood. But Big D is just evil through and through.

5. Ley Line Walker
4. Undead Slayer

I like them ol'timey OCC's.

What picture was that?

It is a pretty well put together site, well, whats there anyway.

Rex

I like the Gaurdians even less than I like the Nightbane. Well, NB's I can tolerate.

What I want to know more about is the Night Princes. Are they immature Nightlords? How does a Prince become a Lord? I wanted to write up something about it, but I'm pretty damn lazy.

Rex

I've heard that argument, befo--- WHOA! Rex!?! I don't mean to say seeing you post is rare or anything--- but I've sighted Bigfoot, a UFO, and a pizza crust shaped like the Virgin Mary since the last time I saw you post... Well, at least I'm keeping good company. I've just been sucked into the Wow....

Rex

I hope they write up Insanity rules that actually work with the Crazy, instead of just Copy/Paste from HU, again.

Rex

Not sure about that Mack. I'll look for it myself. I think they are encouraged to act more human.

Rex

I voted for Victor Lazlo. Nothing against the character, just the name. Hasn't anybody ever watched Casa Blanca?

Rex

For high powered, nothing beats a demi-god. Accept no substitutes!

Also from CJ...

Ghost Dog? Wasn't Forrest Whittaker in that? I'm kidding. Thats great stuff. MK's are a favorite of mine too. I wish I had the 10th lvl Demigod I made a few years back to share with you. I also had a 5th lvl Elven one that really, really confused my PC's. She had two personas. My players had no idea...

Rex

Wow, congrats Ger. Tell that one story about the Vampires and the French Women. I never got a chance to read all of that. Of course that Dr. that inspired Mengele was great too. Hell, reprint them here if you get half a chance...

Rifts is the only game that makes me want to come back for more. It pains me to make this list... 1 - DND D20 3.5. Not a bad system, I resent the low power levels of the characters. I really don't understand the system, to be honest. I'm into it just because I can only find gamers that are willing t...

I've never seen that before, pretty cool!

Rex

That was pretty weak Tyc. I'm very disapointed in you.

The CS Commandos should be the equivilent of Rangers The CS Special Forces should be the equivilent of,...well, Special Forces And the CS Rangers should be the equivilent of Long Range Survelliance Detachments (ie., division and corps scouts) Thats pretty much how I always understood them. I also f...

I just was looking at the Lanotaur Hunter in Psyscape. They're MDC creatures and at 5th level they get Bio-Regen (Super) which only mentions SDC, so... This is what is so annoying about my Rifts being on the other side of the planet... I think it states in the GMG that MDC creatures do get a reduce...

Rex

Sounds pretty damn good, god I miss the whole group! Sorry I can't be there to help out. About the only thing I can see the group needing is a Dr, sent to study the effects on 0G and the endocrine system or some such, but in reality is there to round out the group. Thats about the best angle I can c...

There is a pretty good one in Woodbridge, it's a bit of a drive for you I know. They always have plenty of PB, not just Rifts either.

I'm a veteran of both gaming systems, and I prefer Rifts because it is easier to break new gamers in. That is always important to remember, because there is almost always a new gamer in each group. To be honest, I can only think of one group that was comprised of true gamers. I don't think I am alon...
