Re: Rifts 1 Like 1 Answer

Sorry, you would take the image and repost it to Twitter or FB, and however many "likes" it gets, you answer the same amount of questions. It's the same for the DnD edition that's making it's rounds on Twitter.

You guys may have seen the Dungeons and Dragons "1 Like = 1 Answer" meme going around on Twitter or FB. Well I've borrowed and altered it to fit the Rifts RPG! If anyone's interested, here's the image on my drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zwB61HoCl-ANXG15wZcltJYb3dNNNGl6

Re: Here's a few plot ideas you all might like.

I like them, good job! I've got a few adventure ideas I had scribbled out for a full pirate crew write up I did. They're all based around that, but could essentially be prodded and toggled to suit several group and campaign types. Mine are a bit short comparatively, just basic adventure ideas Possib...

Re: as a gm what characters irk you.

I try to keep everyone onthe same page as far as power level, but that could be the difference between a character with a lot of specialized skills and a character that can throw a tank. When starting a new campaign, DM always gets final say, and when I DM I like to ask people what kind of character...

Re: Best (and Worst) House Rules?

I am a proud member of the Order of the d30: "d30 Rule: Once per game session, a player may choose to roll a d30 instead of any normal dice roll. This cannot be used for any purpose during character creation or for hit point rolls." This is often called "supercharging" a roll, a...

Oh yeah. Even then, with adequate tweaking and GM approval/involvement I'd say anything is possible. Probable? Perhaps not, but definitely within the bounds of a sci-fi or fantasy realm ;)

Best (and Worst) House Rules?

You see them mentioned in the forums quite frequently, but they are often vague and unexplained. House rules, everybody's got'em. They can be as simple as 'everyone starts with $$$ for gear selection' to as complex as 'if you fail high/low percent you can guess exact percent for a success'. So; 1. W...
