Pg. 14 lists the weight classes in the Robodome. It states that Glitter Boys and the Ulti-Max are always entered into Middle or Heavyweight competitions. Pg. 23 Gerhardt "the Falcon" Fulcon is the Lightweight Champion with his Triax Ulti-Max? Who did he pay off to get this one in? I guess ...

I forgot to keep this thread on track, sorry. The one thing that I would do with the experimenting on existing mutant characters is also include some possible side-effects. I could see a potential to role on the Insanities table as a negative to offset the gain in abilities. Also, you can add anothe...

Nightmask, I was 10-12. My GM uncle was 16-18. Not a lot of caring was given to if it was supposed to work. That's one of the beauties of the Palladium system. You can tweak, bend, break the rules to suit your game and it doesn't really wreck the system. I totally agree with you there, Nate! I beli...

Coming back around, I'm curious. Say you're playing a PhD: you take the Robot program, and the Physical program, and so on; you have Robot Mechanics and Robot Electronics, and for power category -- Enchanted Object? Psionics? Heck, no. You're going with Bionics . And so you've got a Reinforced Exos...

In order to build/repair a robot vehicle or exoskeleton, you have some options available ... In order to pilot them, however, you only have two options I don't think that's quite right. Look at what you just wrote there: "a robot vehicle or exoskeleton" . So, okay, I'm on the Robot Constr...

A dwarf operator from Conversion Book 1. He had a Bradley APC. He joined up with some D-Bee (don't remember what RCC) that had Naruni Armor that turned him invisible. Dran (my dwarf) was extremely paranoid and was overly superstitious. We went on one adventure to save a kidnapped Dwarven child. My b...

It's a shame you guys got off topic... Hardware Unlimited was always one of the titles that got me excited about Heroes Unlimited. If I recall correctly this was supposed to be the next big thing for Heroes Unlimited. Then, I believe that Century Station and its follow up books took over. I was alwa...

I don't think they needed new gear. Its fine for players, but to the larger viewing audience its all going to be new Exactly KW, that was kind of my point. They should of mostly focused on "staples" of what we know about Rifts. They didn't really need to add the extra stuff to make the st...

I just say the storyline was very predictable. Agreed. Although, I was amused (and sort of happy) that they needed to add new equipment to make the story work. I can't figure out why Palladium can't use canon rules for NPC's and their equipment. You would think that they could get by using bionics ...

I had a sadistic GM that started a HU campaign. My Hardware: Mechanical and cyborg buddy got dimensionally teleported when a dimensional traveler pc accidentally dropped in on our base. We ended up getting slaughtered by a horde of skelebots (MD) with only our SDC armor and weapons to protect us. I ...

I would look at adding a Horror Factor (maybe 8 or 10) if the cyborg also stomps or claps when the hits take place. As I learned in the ring, if the audience can't hear it, it doesn't really hurt. However, a foot stomp when you miss with a punch (even noticeably) most fans will be cringing in the se...

I found that HeroClix and other minis from WizKids work nicely. Plus, they have different sets depending on what type of character you have. Mageclix, Heroclix (different comic companies), and Battletech (for PA, robots, vehicles, etc) are the most common. Plus, alot of the game shops in my area cle...

Do people actually USE GM Screens? Really? I mean. the Games have been out for over two decades with out signifigant change or revision. What sort of stuff do you need right at your fingertips repeatedly that you don't know? Not usually. However, with Palladium's ability to scatter rules so far and...

Railguns are the best technological weapon type in the game if a player can get the strength to use one. Hard ammo weapons that do MD are rare and spell casting enemies have a harder time dealing with hard ammo then energy. Also, hard ammo weapons generally can use different munition types for diff...

One that I would love to see would be an updated GM screen for any of the palladium systems, especially Rifts.

I saw the post for Rifts Tech. It reminded me of the Hardware Unlimited book that was in the works for HU.

Was it parry...duck...strike

or duck...parry...strike?

On this same notion...

Why are rail guns so feared?

Is it that they have blood loss?
Sound so nasty?

Damage-wise and limited ammo for these rail-guns make them far inferior to most Power Armor based energy weapons. Plus, the power armors usually have unlimited shots with them.
