You love this item

You wish your new GM would let you bring it to a new campaign

You think about it the entire time during the adventure

If I only had.......

1. What's your favorite magical item?

2. What effect does it have?

3. How did you acquire it?

4. What made it your favorite?

Heroes Unlimited provides a plethora of options for characters However Sometimes you either come up with a design that is too reminiscent of a existing character or You literally just make that existing marvel or DC hero So the following questions must be asked: 1. What existing character have you l...

That's so sick,

Great idea

I've incorporated the limit break a few times in adventures to let players have a super attack

Thanks for reminding me of how much I love final fantasy

Group High Fives

Followed by massive revisions to my character sheet when I get home

Honestly I actually assign my character a new title or epithet

Kind of like Tales Of Vesperia for Xbox 360 where you could change and develop titles

Oh absolutely! The vicissitudes of life are often captured in literature and plays and recycled through time Even romeo and Juliet was derived from the Greek myth: Pyramus and Thisbe I've drawn a ton of inspiration from games I've played and TV shows inclusive of Ronin Warriors The Legend of Zelda Q...

Dude You have to submit your work First of all if you're brave enough to admit your fears you're brave enough to face them Get your ideas out, write the manuscripts and submit them because you never know if they might connect with people Why deny yourself something you obviously enjoy so much Role p...

Personally I love the coalition Even as a kid I thought the coalition had the sickest weapons and armor However as a adult I envision being a human in a world where any MDC creature could spill out of a rift and literally vaporize you in seconds It's almost like humanity is a endangered species And ...

They are a huge thread throughout the Rifts series And are portrayed in varying lights and tones But what really matters is your personal sentiments towards the coalition and how you feel about them Are they a maniacal cult bent on destruction Or are they humanity's last bastion of hope What do you ...

How do you do it? First of all Set an example by GM'ing, And listen to players when they offer to GM, and actually give them the chance, Let go of the reigns, you'll be a stronger GM because you did I started gm'ing because I wanted to tell a story Encourage others to tell their story and be enthusi...

on the skill thread on heroes unlimited section,I put down rapping & opra singing,what do you think? I think that's both awesome and potentially hysterical I'm going to create a boy band occ or teen pop singer occ Skills include Sexual And gender ambiguity: 95% Appear on the cover of tiger beat...

Lol, I'm wondering if any of you have played or just conceptualized a joke character to run as a PC or include as an NPC our last session our GM, informed us we could create up to 2 Ancillary characters, and while we were discussing the topic I joked that I was creating a vagabond, who only had dome...

SmilingJack

Historically as a DM when handling characters who are in love with a NPC I legit roll out the skill checks and try to actually convey the spirit of the characters personality, likewise I've used it as a real motivating factor in adventures both in terms of love with a NPC or PC to PC love connection...

Whilst gaming this afternoon, one of our players, An extremely funny and cool female, proceeded to perform professional wrestling maneuvers in her power armor, as well as in her regular armor at one point she performed a flying elbow drop, in her Terror trooper armor, as she was dropped from a helic...

I have two favorite weapons 1: Coalition CS-29 Hellfire 6D6md! I think the CS 29 is the best weapon from the Rifts Ultimate Edition, It's a tremendous weapon that can be wielded by commandos and even a 114 pound female military specialist. I think for such a universal Weapon ,it provides high damage...

SmilingJack

You play with it every time

It's your go to armament

And when you're out of ammo or without your weapon of choice you feel vulnerable and naked

So,

What's your absolute favorite weapon in any palladium game?

SmilingJack

I love the GM appraisal because you're right , GM's like players can be horrible and may often behave really inappropriately and often to the detriment of the game as a whole My worst GM story is the same thing, railroading players and getting F'd off because the players refuse to go along with his ...

Joseph Prosek II Hands down my favorite NPC in all of Rifts I love Joseph because he's truly the mastermind behind a large amount of the coalitions designs and obviously propaganda. Furthermore he's the future of the coalition and could greatly expand upon the coalition regime and their sphere of in...

I wanted to provide a thread that would allow everyone to have a repository of adventure ideas that they could draw from in case your current resources or need some ideas to help stimulate your own thoughts

Please free to post any ideas, adventures, or campaigns you've run or devised

SmilingJack

While gaming today, Our group began discussing unreasonable players, or gamers who completely mess up a game because of their behavior I thought it would be entertaining to hear everyone's horror stories and also offer everyone a opportunity to vent Please feel free to explain the individual, what h...

1. Do you hand out xp during the adventure or only at the end I always hand out Xp during the adventure , I think its cool to have adventurers see that good decisions and playing in character have rewards, also letting them expand their skills always seems to keep my PCs happy 2. Do you allow playe...

While printing out palladium docs and working on my new adventure I began contemplating over the myriad of ways GMs hand out experience and the best way to handle the process Specifically I began wondering how my fellow GMs give their PCs Xp Here are a few questions to stimulate your thoughts on the...

Ok, because of my scree name I may be partial however I honestly love the Smiling Jack Light Assault SAMAS power armour It just rocks, It's extremely fast and of any of the SAMAS is the most maneuverable and lightest, Also the standard rail gun is equivalent to the striker SAMAS and the 6 mini missi...

Hi Auroetta, Here are some ideas to help spawn off further adventures based upon your current campaign history 1. Because you know the party will refuse the alchemist's next offer, have the alchemist turn on the PCs by hiring a group of mercs to pursue and kill them since they "know too much&qu...

Honestly for the sake of the gamers involved as well as the overall flow of the game I'd recreate the character at a equivilant level to the PC's Why Because ever person who dies first Complains why the death was impossible, how it could never have happened, which page directly disputes my ruling, e...

In my opinion: It's badass I always loved the ultimax because it looks so fearsome and intimidating It could decimate anything sent in its way my brother and his friend actually used it a lot, however they played at the beginning of Rifts And it hadn't been overshadowed or buried into the history of...

SmilingJack

One more idea, have the player characters basically rescue A teenage boy or girl from a group of bandits/rouges/gang members once the police arrive, the teenagers father,who is a high ranking coalition officer, arrives and is so thankful to the PCs that he allows them to enter the city to claim a re...

SmilingJack

Here are some ideas that may be helpful 1. Have someone in the burbs selling a psy/magic neutralizing spray that lasts for 1d4 he's 2. A underground tunnel that leads into the city that the coalition is unaware of 3. A crooked coalition iss officer who is willing to pretend to arrest the players and...

I would really Like to see the coalition war campaign updated,

I love the book so much and just think adding more content: Mecha , weapons, occs, info on the war would just take the book from being great to being a book you can't go without

SmilingJack

I'm not sure if many people play the optional OCC's But i really love playing either: The merchant, who deals in black market goods and specialized in the sale and procurement of drugs Or The kind and generous noble who uses his station in life to engender a better quality of living for those around...

SmilingJack

Palladium Fantasy Adventures Provides a diverse and wide array of OCC's to choose from

Which one do you choose to play and why

Or

Which do you choose not to play and why

Palladium Fantasy RPG Rocks!

I KNOW everybody will have so much fun with this topic because we all have that one Mecha/Power Armor we love using or That one Mecha /armor in a Rifts book we wish our GM would allow in the campaign for us to use I'm saying anything is fair game from Rifts, Robotech, And any other Megaverse game So...

OK you want a pet peeve? How about the loser with no life who is only there to vent their frustrations because they have a miserable existence and instead of role playing, throw the game completely and turn it into their own personal exploit of repressed homoerotic tendencies My best example is my ...

So I've come upon another set of questions and quandaries and I thought I would request everyone's help with again :0) I need advice on how to play a merchant or noble, I don't think it's fair that either basically can have a base of operations (town, castle, fiefdom) to go back to and replenish the...

I do what I can in my area but really I am only one person and word of mouth has more sway than what any one person can do sadly...... what you just wrote is BRilliant its just like viral videos,it starts from people sharing, and you are right word of mouth is the best Way For something to spread K...

When I speak with people and they ask me what is my favorite pastime , I respond emphatically and passionately that it is the Role Playing game Rifts.

Chitown, Lazlo, Tolkeen (pre-war), Austrailia 2,3 , New Roman Empire.

One of the great joys of role playing is the ability to assume any unique character class or speciality. Rifts offers such a myriad of choices that choosing just one can be a daunting proposition.
