As for level vs 2 horsemen...hmm...if they're near a ley line and the magic users have access to most spells, it might not matter what level they are bwahahaha...er... I think a confusing meeting with desert raiders who fight the Phoenix Empire could be amusing. Mistaken identity is always fun. The...

Longbowman

Basically the artillery of the ancient world

Bring versed in the bow allows your party to face off against enemies positioned afar or magic users with ranged attacks

In my opinion a very crucial occ indeed!

It's your game You award Xp how you want But for the most part reward people using novel ideas, even if it is a failed roll, it still a legitimate use of a skill, and people should be granted xp for thinking outside of the box Half the fun sometimes is the catastrophic roll A good GM recognizes inge...

I emphatically endorse this

A resurgence of rifts is certainly well deserved

Count me in

I'd gladly contribute to the cause!

Gamer and Game Master In Need Of Advice In general How do you deal with couples when gaming, and what have your experiences been like Specifically How do you deal with the following issues 1.

I think its a two-fold approach 1: establishing clear character creation guide lines, and limiting players from Min maxing character attributes, and selecting weapons, skills, or even MecHa tHat unbalances the game 2: and I think this is one of the more overlooked aspects, being judicious about awar...

I personally end up playing the scout/ reconnaissance role I have a propensity to play characters who are really quick, and stealthy, And can perform furitive actions I think it comes from playing rogue characters in fantasy games, also it's a role that few people seem to tend towards, and can often...

Within role playing games, every player is accorded the opportunity to play their character however they want. however after time, players begin to focus on specific aspects of playing so the question begs to be asked, what's your favorite part of playing your character Is it combat And action? Do y...

3 Thoughts 1: as a GM you should be having fun too, it's not your responsibility to put up with bad argumentative players, if you're not having fun don't compromise your enjoyment just for the sake of holding a game, you obviously enjoy GM'ing don't let one person ruin it for you, excise them, other...

I think once would have been good. Twice with a stern warning. And why did the other players allow it?

I generally play as A Scrupulous character because it has the edge needed to kill and fight without being super moral I also really love aberrant because you can mold your character to their own creed and as long as you live by this you have a wide array to act evil or decimate opponents I never pla...

In The Megaverse There are truly great GM's that we've all played under Maybe it was That campaign you couldn't wait to get back to every saturday Or they were amazing at creating things off the top of their head Or it was the best story you've ever heard In your opinion what attributes makes a grea...

In my fantasy games I've allowed players to multi class by Merging the stats and attributes of each occ together, ignoring duplicates, and taking the highest bonus between the two occs to be applied to the character Truthfully if you're uncomfortable allowing dual classes say no, it's your game Usua...

SmilingJack

I tend to stick with the selfish alignments, unless Aberrant is available. I prefer the flexibility, especially in a world like Rifts Earth. Every now and again I'll play a principled character, just to screw with people. That's awesome! I love that you intentionally annoy people by being principle...

SmilingJack

It's your character

You breathe life into them

You define their heart

And you play them according to their alignment

So what's your character's alignment and why do you play that alignment

If you play multiple characters,

What are their alignments and why

SmilingJack

Lol, Last Saturday I had a player literally cast this and devastate a central villain I think it really is a strong spell and can cause havoc However as A GM you can have the NPC negate the effects or be resistant But yes it can be maddening! I always reward my players for doing things that are awes...

I have a new one I'd like to add Captain I hate my character who mind you, chose their own character and had free reign to modify it however they wanted So instead of playing they sulk, act petulant, and complain about not only their character, but also the world setting, two things that they agreed...

SmilingJack

I choose the smiling jack or super SAMAS power armor

Lightning fast speed, in either armor

However the covert nature and litheness of the smiling jack allows me to slip into places a larger armor couldn't

Plus the smiling jack looks killer

Yes I'm totally biased towards the smiling jack!

SmilingJack

And that is a "great" testimony and what Palladium Fantasy needs more of. There needs to be more quality Games and GMs at cons and hobby stores to help expose gamers to the setting. What do you think really made you dive in and what are you doing that has made it so profound and awesome o...

SmilingJack

Just a quick clarification, you can frame your response as either everyone has a Mecha or only you have a Mecha Whatever sparks your imagination more Also any power armor or Mecha from any palladium world is acceptable, if you want vehicles and ships are acceptable as well Hell if you want a sdf 1 g...

I envision that a high PB, extremely high would be on the lines of a person who is considered iconic

Like Marilyn Monroe during her era, Pamela Anderson In The 90's or Sophia Loren in her heyday

Such beauty would be transcendent and considered to be the most beautiful of their time or generation
