I would find a helicopter and start from the top.

Oberoth

I'm in agreement with Josh. Tokyo is just to populated. No character of mine in his right mind would go there. There would need to be a really good reason to get him there.

What a bummer.

Yea. Even if I had survived the initial earthquakes and ash clouds, I surely would have perished when that ginormous rift opened up.

Calgary, Alberta. Says it all...

Alberta , Canada. Lots of forest and mountain ranges nearby. I would probably head for the Rocky Mountains . If I had to guess ten states it would be these. Alaska, Montana, Washington, Idaho, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Oregon, Main, Wisconsin. Mainly chosen for their high Latitudes where c...

Pragmatic as always GB. Earth only has so much lava at only so much pressure. When either are expended, the eruptions will stop. The type of eruptions seen on Rifts earth during the cataclysm are short (relatively speaking) but would expend ludicrous amounts of energy, necessitating a cool-down/re-p...

I would recommend "Survivors" (Yes I know it has been mentioned). It was a TV series way back in the 70's. It's composed of 38 episodes over two seasons. You can watch them all on YouTube. Unlike any other series of it's kind at the time, Survivors depicts events after a plague wipes out s...

Here's something fun you could try. Theme campaigns! Like The Walking Dead, or NOTLD, or any other zombie movie you can think of. Just get the players cooperation in playing the main characters in your favorite zombie story. The story would change though. A "what if" like they recently did...

Oberoth

Vampire Kingdoms, when it first debuted. Yep, used it right away.

I'm a Machinist (and Mechanic) by trade these days, so I know a good deal about this topic. Thought I would chime in. I don't operate anything nearly as fancy as you described though. Here are the skills a Machinist would need off the top of my head. Literacy. A Machinist needs to be able to read. B...

I'm going to suggest some Carabiner's and chain. For quickly locking shut chain link fence gates quickly. As seen in the recent episode of The Walking Dead.

Physical maintenance no, but software/electronic maintenance yes. Relativity causes clock drift with the satellites and AFAIK that is not a task the satellites can perform automatically. It is something that is synchronized from Earth using one (or more) atomic clocks. Now it might be a task that i...

To answer your question, I would say not long. Two weeks at best and all of our miraculous technologies will start grinding to a halt. I'm curious why your asking the question? Is this for a game your playing/GM'ing? Either way, human civilization has been set back into the dark ages. Best you learn...

Oberoth

I like the vehicle build idea. You should do it A-TEAM style.

Oberoth

It was probably forgotten in the hasty and careless production of DR.

Oberoth

There is also the remnants of the Canadian RCMP. AKA: Tundra rangers (Rifts: Canada). If I remember correctly there was some sort of D-shift that spared the Canadian RCMP/NEMA forces.

Oberoth

Although not a zombie movie, The movie with vigo mortissen and i think it's called.. " the End?" ... where he goes around a post apocalypse earth trying to get his son to some sort of human shelter where it's not full of wackos. ... is a great introduction for a Single player DR Campaign....

I like this version better.

Oberoth

Being new to the RT/Macross universe, it feels like the current presentation of protoculture is there simply to make it easier for new players to understand. After all, it is being used as a power source and that is generally all one needs to know when running a vehicle. The rest of the lore is mor...

Oberoth

I'd say the more dead rats you find, the more undead are likely to be around (zombie+animal=dead animal)=rats chew into dead (undead) body and die leaving "dead rat." Hence, dead rats being painted on walls to warn others to be on the lookout for dead rat bodies as a warning of zeds nearb...

Oberoth

My point wasn't that it wasn't legal, once the zombies start to rise, but instead, that they, being so hard to get, aren't as plentiful and easy to find. In the US you'll find a gun in one in 10 houses (( if not more depending on where you go)) Down under I'd think it's more like 1 in 100 or 1 in 3...

Oberoth

It's more that people are applying common sense to it. Holds work in a few ways, one being you apply pain to keep the person where you want them. The pain prevents them from moving a way you don't want them to. Zombies don't care about pain. The other is to bend or twist or manuver to get a person ...

Oberoth

I am going off of the rules as written (RAW) so.. -Zombies super strong? Too bad strength has nothing to do with Holds (RAW). it is Physical Prowess that matters. -Why no hand to hand/Melee attack to finsih off? Holding opponent gives no bonus to actually hitting the Zombie. it just negates their a...

No ****. He and Rick are doing pretty well for themselves considering. But all of them are discovering new relationships and have taken favorites. Glen lucked out big-time with Maggie.

Oberoth

Glen from The Walking Dead apparently has paired weapons. If you skip ahead a few photo's you get to see that Merle returns in season three.

Oberoth

Just looked through alternate ways of attacking and holds caught my attention. Would this not be a great way to eliminate a zombie while scouting? Another problem with this is that Zeds are prodigiously strong. It would take more than one person to come close to pinning them. Personally I would use...

Oberoth

I'm not an advocate for the rule of 17. However, there IS a bonus to it. It means you have the ability to make that shot at any difficulty. So if your in a moving vehicle say, and there is a zed 2000 feet away and you roll that 17, you hit. It doesn't matter that the vehicle AND zombie are moving an...

In past games what kind of cool or practical gear have you made as an operator? Is there something custom that you make sure you have for every adventure? I always made sure my Operator had a scanner for Bots and power armor. Same sort of thing as a car scanner except for bots. And he always carrie...

There is no right or wrong answer to this conundrum. The OP provided no context or timeline. No affiliations with said girl, the other players, or alignment of said players are presented either. There is no answer that will satisfy any of the conditions for a "Right and moral" action on be...

Oberoth

I agree with almost everything Gamer said.

Indeed, alignment and that particular OCC REQUIRES that they check first. I mean really it only takes several more moments to get a PID anyway.

Oberoth

You walk in to a room with many freshly deceased rats. Guess you have to ask yourself, what caused all the rats to die in the first place? Does it really have anything to do with the walking dead? Could the water in the area be infected with some other disease? Where they intentionally poisoned? ......

Oberoth

Everyone seems to think that rebuilding civilization will be easy (Not that we won't try). I'm a mechanic, machinist, and fabricator. I can tell you from personal experience that maintaining or building anything, without our civilized world to back us up would not happen easily. If you needed say, a...

I wouldn't say no one is making anything 6 months on. There is likely to be at least limited agriculture in a few places, especially safe haven communities, which there are likely to be at least a handful scattered around in rural areas. Those safe haven communities are also likely to have some for...

Oberoth

Assuming a population of 6 billion and a 90% conversion to zed or fatality rate of that population it still leaves 600 million people on this earth. That't plenty to want industry since many of those will have been used to having at least some exposure to it and some of those will have the know-how...

This depends on allot of variables. How long after the wave, where you are, who your trading with ect... However, there are at the very least the top four needs. That being water, food, shelter, and protection. They will always be of some trade value wherever you go, as long as you have all four to ...

Remember that noise wakes them up....MAYBE.... and sends them forth to investigate.....MAYBE....but The Moan sends them in with the definite expectation of a meal, guns a-blazin.' That's why I wouldn't mind if a GM ruled The Moan to be supernatural and therefore unable to be duplicated. Not maybe C...

One of my players want to record a zombie moan..... Q: will a recording of a moan cause more zombies to moan and converge to the spot of the recording ? if so Q.2: how long will they look ? While the zombies themselves are of course supernatural, their moan isn't described as anything but a normal,...

Oberoth

Any good zombie slayer will have a flashlight anyway. So you could just look at her to see if she's infected. And besides, all zombies with the exception of a couple types will let out a moan when they see you. So if she stays quiet you know she is either a special type, or a little girl in shock. E...

Oberoth

There are also propane communities. They run on large tanks buried in the ground. It could last for a while with no people actually using the supply. It depends on where the community is and what season the wave happened in though (And how many things where left on). They are also typically in remot...

Oberoth

It would depend on the kind of Wave in the game world. If it's a fast wave, like in the Rifter versions, one to three days of electrical power, a week tops. However, if it is a slow conventional wave where people start getting sick en mass then you could have power for longer. I'm sure the power com...

Anybody else here wondering if this argument should be less about acceleration/gravity and more about how "hard" the force that levitates the professor is? Falling onto concrete is very dangerous. Falling into water is less so because some of the energy is dispersed. Falling onto a gigant...

Oberoth

The human race would likely never get a full cleansing (Some would say purification) of the zombie population as mentioned before. Best thing for us to do is quarantine the big population centers (i.e. Fences, barricades, and trenches), get some distance from them and fortify a safe place where you ...
