Beaver teeth? You know to eat the trees and such? Perquisite could be tusks. No, tusks are an entirely different form of dental development and would not precede beaver teeth. Beaver-style teeth IMHO are already handled by existing jaw enhancements. Furthermore, when dealing with the Machine, you'r...

I would highly recommend Rifter #59, pages 18 to 30, “Pack Mentality”
It covers a lot of additional things for Packmasters, including: Breeds, skill augmentation, and the Elite Packmaster options.

TagsPB

So after reading the "I Am Legion" Sourcebook I noticed that there are numerous references to unprinted material, especially in the stuff that was not previously in The Rifter. I check Chuck's DA to see if there were any illustrations that he posted on any of it and tried searching here i...

TagsPB

well, their strongest attack is their leap attack for knockdown by far, if we're talking melee, unless the enemy is really large. anyways, packmasters don't get a huge amount of bio-e to spread around, so i personally am really big on efficiency for them. low cost with good benefits if at all possi...

TagsPB

as far as i can tell, there is no bio-e cost, mostly because you don't choose to have it done; your boss (or more likely, your boss's boss or somewhere further up than that) chooses to have it done. it isn't a standard option available to everyone. and truthfully, i think the drawbacks are probably...

Finally bought my copy. I'd only seen the Legion stuff from Rifter 71-72, I'd fallen behind. I'm about halfway through it and this book is amazing as sourcebooks go. The artwork is easily some of the best I've seen from Palladium. My only gripe is the adventure reads more like someone wanted to wri...

Shriekers function as Squealers..... As for Squealers, I think they are like a chig.... **Squealers are Bio-Tech spider-like devices that can remain curled up like a small bearing and fired from a weapon or they can be thrown where they open up with their eight spider legs splayed out to clamp onto ...

TagsPB

I'm agreeing with TagsPB here. His suggestions on size, depth & impression should make for an interesting visual. "Rosch, have you seen these....impressions?" "I have, Tracker Hymes. No beast I know of, Spliced, Warmount nor Machine-preserved, could make such indentations to the ...

So I only have the Rifter 71-72 so far. I'm starting to leave clues about Legion for the party. Anyone want to take a guess at the dimensions and depth of the footprints in a plains area? I'm not good at visualizing that kind of thing and I have no idea how deep a footprint something with 10 legs t...

Everything in one book.
And for those who will ask: yes the errata has been done where nessarry.

I’m there all weekend.
Since year zero.

Wouldn’t have anything to do with what they are charged?

TagsPB

Outside if the Weapons books.....looking for a write up on the bola throwing weapon. Any help?

TagsPB

I got Dark Designs, Secrets of the Atlanteans (reg and Hard cover) Rifter 78, Future Visions (Chucks artbook), and Splicers RPG..........

now need the weekend to read them

TagsPB

Look up Lantern Shields.....a Psi Sword/Shield version could be very useful

TagsPB

wait.. shadow tech in 2031? per HG's own continuity it didn't show up till the early 2040's. Your absolutely correct. However, Ghost Fleet Saga is the fleet that is equipped with the experimental prototype versions - before it was successfully implemented. Not all experiments will go as planned. im...

Hi my old friends, I remember reading the nano-plague stops working when characters are no longer on the splicers world/dimension. I remember it takes some time but the nano-plague leaves the persons system. Any of you guys remember where this is in the rules/setting? Thank you in advanced for the ...

Thanks to everyone who came by the booth

I hope you all had fun.

Let's see this is Anime North number 21 for me.....plus a year of planning before the fist one. Yes I am a proud founding member (a title we seem to have fewer of now).

Good morning, mes amis! Thanks to a wee bit of local kindness, Boethermsbrukan (or her RL person, anyway) will be at Anime North 2017, and is looking very much forward to it! Will be properly equipped with drawing implements, gaming box (dice, counters and a few miniatures) and possibly even a Niko...

This JUST in: There will be a few copies of the Nightbane® Dark Designs™ Raw Preview Edition available ($20) Kevin has given us a supply of something to give away (yes free) first come first serve. Oh and did I mention.......everything will be in Canadian Dollars???? Also Robotech® RPG Tactics™ demo...

Well.....I'll be there........Greg (who is on the web site) will be there......
As to product....Depends on what Kevin sends up............but should be newer stuff.
Is there something your looking for?

Just got off the phone with Kevin, the answer to your question is................

Yes there will be limited copies available.

1. The last line of the Self-Regeneration power covers this. "This regeneration also extends to any cybernetic part that is based of cloned tissue, but not fully artifical, mechanical parts. 2. Going to leave this one to someone more qualified to answer. 3. Most likely this will be left to GM's...

Ghost Fleet Saga is for the RPG.
Hopefully Chuck will be able to give a better answer on what to expect in it, but it's all new RPG fun stuff.

Just had a chance to read the final chapter of I Am Legion. Good job to all involved. It is a solid adventure and would make a cracking scenario sourcebook in the same style as Chaos Earth Resurrection if it were assembled into one volume. Still waiting to hear what the Tempest XP table is though. ...

Unlike other RPGs like D&D, in Rifts (for most characters) your armor is your life, and it cannot be repaired cheaply and easily. I agree with the principle, but I do think Palladium's prices in some areas (ex. EBA/body armor) tend to be over priced because depending on how much damage you take...

TagsPB

I just wanted to take a minute and thank the Palladium Books team For being capable of following a military shipping address. I was able to order and setup a Rifts group in my barracks in Korea when I was stationed over there. I ordered other stuff through amazon and almost none of it arrived but P...

Unless of course you were to get a layer of flesh/skin put over your bionic armor .......... or have ir made of "living" material

TagsPB

Won't someone think of the children????

TagsPB

You absolutely CAN NOT mix Robotech with anything

Splicers remains questionable (no magic, and the anti-human metal issue will affect space travelers)

Otherwise most are mixable (and via Rifts have been mixed)

TagsPB

[quote="Premier" Wow...hmmmm....what can we reveal...? Well I know I can say that the two units that you just described you can expect to see in the very next Rifter#75 release. They among some buddies continue to reveal just how twisted and calculating Legion really is. You can also expec...

You can expect.........to hate Legion.

TagsPB

Biotics rock. I look forward to seeing where they go and what can be done with them. They may not be the most unique aspect of Splicers, but they are definitely a favourite of mine. The low social status and inherent growing madness are interesting too. Do people complain about power creep? Is that...

TagsPB

Thank you. The art is part of the Splice equation that I think helps distinguish Splicers from any other setting. I knew where many of the "inspirational sources" came from, but did not want to be bound to them. However, I also didn't want to alienate anyone who enjoys those "inspira...

This is being worked on as we speak

Keep up the good work

Reread that quote again "while conducting a routine inventory" It's natural for things to become misplaced or for counts to be improperly subtracted from time to time, especially when discussing short-runs of non-standard product. The fact that they are now conducting regularly scheduled ...

Sorry but as a Benifactor on NG1 and Ultimate Benifactor on NG2 my vote goes to releasing the PDF's. Unless other top tier Insiders vote otherwise....these should become available one their spot comes up (soon).

TagsPB

Was handed mine from Kevin about 90mins ago........stopped on my way home for coffee and to stretch my legs..............I might be here longer then I thought as I now want to finish reading these.

Well it is raining on the roads, safer to be inside and comfy right?

Something truly wicked this ways comes. If Legion doesn't make GM think outside of the box. Nothing will. And the biggest challenge for the PC's......she's so outside the box, you may not be able to find it. Yeah this actually will be perfect timing or release for a Halloween issue, as the horrors ...

What experience table does this O.C.C. use? I'm repeating this question. It doesn't seem to be in The Rifter article. Nor can I spot any for the Deliveryman or Bombardier come to think of it. EDIT: Looking either further back, were experience tables provided for the Metamorph or Swarm Lord? I have ...

I have been inspired by the "I Am Legion" material in recent Rifter issues to finally read Splicers properly. It has sat on my shelf for a few years, always looking interesting but a little overwhelming too (I'm a referee who prefers classic Robotect, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Ot...

Some pretty nifty stuff the samaritan gorehound varient although creepy as hell looking does seem to be a pretty handy member of a pack to have.

They do have a rear garage door that will allow wheelchair access. Just BE SURE to call ahead so they are ready (and the path is clear). As to knocking on the door (using the bell).

It's a cute, fluffy, loveable Gorehound.........unless your a machine.....or try to take its chew toys.

But in all seriousness, I had a blast working on it with Chuck. And his art work really brings it to life.

And I still say his name should have gone before mine in the credits.

TagsPB

Yeah.....I was allowed to keep the display copy Kevin brought to Anime North (signed by him and the guys) and well.....to say it's an awesome book is an understatement. So many interesting things,,,so much I can't discuss yet.

Tell your UPS guys to hurry up so I can share my glee.

TagsPB

Glad to have met you there (sorry again for that arrow incident).
2013 I wasn't able to game with Kev due to issues of helping run the convention, THIS year I tried to make sure I'd have the time and I'm glad I did.

And we hope to have Palladium Books back again.
