for me, none of the above. you dont do Fantasy, Nightbane, BTS, Dead Reign, SF, do you?

Vidynn

sounds great! as Im not in the US and therefore would have a hard time going to the OH - any chance you put some of these on the net - or in a RIFTER?

Vidynn

I'd actually have to put "weakest in the line" burden on Island at the Edge of the World. Its construction as an adventure precludes good organization as a sourcebook I view it as an adventure with background info. it isnt really a sourcebook...you need the locations described for the adv...

as a GM: the moment the characters transformed for the first time and caught a glimpse of what this game is about during Dark Day.

Vidynn

I liked it too - it was gore..., uhm gorgeous! hard, fast and scary!

Vidynn

I belive Land of the Damned 2 is the newest PF book. but it might be Wolven Empire Wolfen Empire was the newest book! and it was a shame that it didnt combine the two first ed. books into one (as promised). the new material was quite good in parts, but still I think the book is the weakest in the w...

Vidynn

the stores around here still havent got it (saying its the distributor's fault)! shame, shame, shame.

Vidynn

we roll D20 for all but Speed

as well as D100 in substitution for some skills a character hasnt but still should get a chance.

Vidynn

no, but I posted this and the band of the same name a while back...

interesting question. depends on form and experience level, Id say...but still...what about natural form at first level...?

Vidynn

Personally i think this would be a VERY bad idea as it would take away from the zombie situation, and if anyone is using the stuff from Rifter #45, it would add yet another problem as vamps tend to multiply like roaches at times. Besides, i think humanity has enough to deal with, don't you? yeah, V...

Vidynn

okay, after reading the murmur, Im less excited...

"I have 20 pages of notes, an introduction section partially written and a lot of ideas." (KS)

...honestly, thats not much. probably not enough for an April-shipping as announced in the Pressrelease.

Vidynn

I hope Mysteries of Magic will have all the Magic O.C.C,s in Palladium Fantasy. if you mean you hope you get all magic OCCs that are spread over the various sourcebooks in one Magic Book, I dont like the idea - because I bought all those sourcebooks and dont like to pay twice for the same material....

Vidynn

yessssssssssss! now its got a shipping date! April, almost sounds too good to be true!

Nightbane. Survival Guide. oh yeah.

Vidynn

sounds good! so, with KS having talked about a total of five sourcebooks, I guess we will be seeing more of the original vision !

Vidynn

i would love to buy some new palladium books but they never make anything for the game i play yeah - I'm into PF, Nightbane, BTS, SF and N&SS and rarely get to buy new material...sometimes I wish RIFTS or Robotech would even be of slightest interest to me...well, Im used to wait for years. mayb...

Vidynn

However, that's not a bad thing as the idea will be made that there's growing interest in the movie. youre an optimist and enthusiast, and I appreciate that. but I dont see "growing interest" in returning this RIFTS-letter to sender. even worse, whoever opened it, didnt understand the let...

WFRP 2nd Ed? cause 1st Ed. is one of the best RPGs ever created.

Dead Reign, as originally written, is supposed to be difficult but not impossible. In every demo I have run at least one PC has been killed, I have had a 20% PC Death Rate in my games. 25% dead, 50% insane and 25% sooo happy to be alive - a nice ratio from the old Call of Cthulhu that works for eve...

and according to Yin-Sloth Jungles the first book on the Old Kingdom will be out December 1994 and the second in early 1995, while Wolfen Wars is planned for late 1995.

the music is by Angelo Badalementi who wrote a lot of scores for David Lynch, among them the magical music for Twin Peaks. what I like about using the Blue Velvet-Soundtrack in horror-RPGs is that the music is very subtle, but outright scary at the same time. it doesnt hit you with a hammer, it just...

To ammend that last post... I believe I read somewhere that Mark re-wrote the Undead Hunter for possible publication in this book. While not exactly original, I would be happy with this too, as it's needed to be done for quite some time and the Gods alone know when Yin Sloth 2E will come out! I inc...

Vidynn

my favorite music for horror-games is the instrumental part of the soundtrack to Blue Velvet.

there is? I looked thru it once and didnt find anything not in 2nd ed.

Vidynn

defenitely the setting, the rules are so so - Ive played a lot of "better" systems, but I still love the whole Palladium world and feel!

Vidynn

Id love to see a Nightbane movie or TV series, but as the RIFTS-movie is in Limbo for years, chances are more than slim. also, there are lots of movies with a Nightbane-esque feel/look, so I guess no studio would touch it.

Vidynn

Anyway then they bring in this new guy Syth... as a Star Wars fan I am a bit upset by the name but I just shrug and go, Huh? well, Sith - Syth isnt as bad as the island of Y-Oda. (and Im quite sure that the SW Sith didnt really influence the name giving, as the Sith were only briefly mentioned in t...

But for heavens sake chamge the name, it is very unpleasureable for a german to read it. I dont care about the aspect of pleasure (you meant unpleasant, obviously) in reading it...its just that "Das Verpfändt" is utter nonsense! I can only wonder what it was supposed to mean. apart from t...

wouldnt that have been a good reason to read the article with extra care?

wow, and I thought a lot of the BTS-2 classes are overpowered, not only psychics but normal people too. Unfortunately, I dont own the original BTS, so I cant compare.

Vidynn

thanks, Warwolf, for the answers - sounds absolutely perfect to me!!!

one more question (for now): in the Errata-Thread I started you once said, that Irvin and you want to include a Q&A-section to clear up some stuff. did you?

Vidynn

yeah, its the info that counts, art is/would be a nice bonus, but isnt necessary at all!

Vidynn

IMO, they are both on equal grounds of importance, but for different reasons. I do understand Kevin's (and the majority of the fans) desire to see TG done first, especially after 4 years of the same supernatural creatures in the main book (besides the Rifter and ones you might have created yourself...

Vidynn

That raises a much larger issue of the afterlife in the Megaverse. With the exception of the Warriors of Valhalla briefly mentioned in Rifts Conversion Book 2: Pantheons of the Megaverse , dead people don't seem to go anywhere. (...) There seems to be an unwritten rule at PBooks that the games are ...

Vidynn

Hence why its safer writing something that more of an adventure idea/sourcebook not directly related to the upcoming two main books. yeah, defenitely better than tackling BA or TG, as was suggested in this thread. on the other hand, writing other stuff without having access to creatures nor magic i...

In retrospect I should've spent more time on the psychics, secret societies (though there was a HUGE AMOUNT of stuff on secret societies that was cut...which is why there are references to the Illuminati peppered throughout the book, but no actual information about the group appears anywhere), and ...

glad my thoughts inspired you!

Vidynn

the first question I would ask is, if it is possible at all to buy land in a a pseudo-feudal country like Timiro. or if it does have to be granted by the King or one of his nobles. do the King and his vassalls really want to give land to a "newcomer", someone who maybe is rich, but obvious...

Vidynn

oh yes, I forgot: I did some stuff on the Old Kingdom borders to both the Western Empire and Timiro but in spirit to the exisiting material. in all the campaigns we never played in Phi nor Lopan or the Land of South Winds, but when those were mentioned in the game, I always made the Land of South Wi...
