that one too, they came out about the same time.

NoJack

ok, sorry to ask this but does anyone know where i can find the humor file that compares what players from PfRpg, Rifts, BTS, HU, Robotech etc. will do in a given situation?

NoJack

Borgs are supposed to use the robotic strength table, only in Japan do their borgs suck.

NoJack

Free Quebec, they speak french there... and not even real french. They are a cheap CS knockoff just like they are a cheap France knockoff.

Who let a Quebecois history revisionist write that book anyway?

NoJack

I don't see why the Ninja borg is the only one to suffer the loss of feeling on conversion. The mining borgs in New west, and the Cyborg Shocktroopers from Russia (where you would expect it) don't suffer from that. As a matter of fact all of the Cybernetics in the Japan book were a little off kilter...

NoJack

Mini-missile pods are great, I like the Russian Mini-missile rifles, When I think of a Rail-gun I think of a heavy hitter like the Boom-Gun, and how could you pass up on a Naruni Plasma cartridge weapon? Honestly they make the only sniper weapon worth it's weight in E-clips. Sure it's 6 feet long bu...

NoJack

Neon Genesis Evangelion. Anything that combines man and machine that closely probably has protoculture involved some way... The EVA units are the only piece of hardware I would take over a VT. Those 14 year olds were pretty well developed. It was like a 15 hour session of Mind Rape. (I loved every m...

NoJack

Keep the battlepod, I want a cyclone. Or a VT... sniff stupid reality.

NoJack

Gotta say I agree with Deadboy. I agreed with that statement before I read all the posts. I mean who wants to go and buy another $300 worth of books? I love my books, I had to fight to extricate my collection from the group's books when I moved away. I don't play and I still occasionally buy books. ...

NoJack

They are laser drills, at least they were in the main book, Free Quebec (I know, I know) and Chaos Earth. It also says that they can punch into MDC stone and rock. Mutants in Orbit has them attaching to Spaceship hulls. (I'd prefer to fire them through someone's space-suit, let explosive decompressi...

NoJack

Hey, never mind that, someone said something about amcross Zero DVD's... where can I get em? Let me know... I was getting them off the net as they aired in Japan, and then I moved... no more highspeed. My 3rd one was subbed in portugese (I watched it anyway) That is a breed of gian robot a$$-kicking...

NoJack

NGE, and that is both hard and rewarding if the players haven't seen the series or movie. And the look on their faces after they have watched it... well yeah that was pretty cool. Trigun, we used the New west books to play on the Trigun world once... it was a lot like new west for some reason... My ...

NoJack

While I'm not a big fan of DB or any of its derivatives, it does have that long never ending storyline. Something Like Ranma 1/2 or Naruto I find much more entertaining. But I digress... this was supposed to be about flying ships and the like. (Not geting after anyone) In NGE they had a giant flying...

NoJack

Last Exile was a VERY cool show, escpecially if you like airships and fighters. Unfortunately if you like good endings it's a bit of a disappointment. Not much closure at all. But the airborne artillery and the like were very cool. Also if anyone has played the Warhammer 40K Dawn of War video game y...

NoJack

Keep it coming Z, it's such good, good crack... you got us hooked don't cut off our source.

If you're just busy we understand... but no quiting.

NoJack

In this case (as in many others) the flavor text makes things less clear if anything. I definately remember there being a mention of even Kreeghor Knights... and they are definately Supernatural creatures.

I'd go GM's call on this. Unless you are doing an Uberlevel epic setting...

NoJack

PA - Silver Eagle, US SAMAS unit. 'Nuf said

Robot - Battleram attack robot. It's huge, it's cool and it's not weak likt the ahem... "devastator" I mean it has an over the shoulder cruise-missile launcher. How do you like that? Plus it flies like superman.
What can I say?

NoJack

Which new thread?

NoJack

In a realistic type setting, the elf and Dwarf are no different than anybody else, they could be good or evil. In a rather chaotic setting where there are more than enough 'bad' things out there... they better be good because I'm not gonna wait around for them to get evil... The simplest solution is...

NoJack

The NGR is in dreadfull need of heavy firepower, there was a post that deduced that per pound the armor on the devestator offered roughly the same protection as cardboard. Not to mention having a weapon the size of a schoolbus that does about the same amount of damage as a standard Plasma-cannon. I ...

NoJack

I was going to post a link to the penny-arcade comic that has to do with this, but I can't get the page to come up. Long story short, White Wolf is a newcomer to both werewolves and vampires. Their material smacks mostly of Anne-rice. If anybody was origional it was Vlad the Impaler, or the guy he r...

NoJack

Martin and Perez, Long comes in close thereafter. The others have done some interesting work, but these three are what I think of when I think of Rifts.

NoJack

Ahh, yes invincible guardsmen Zentreadi... so much better than Maxi-men Juicer Zents... Ugh, all that SDC getting converted to MDC. Munchkin time. But yeah that would get ugly...

NoJack

Microwave Gun. Causes dizziness, and damage to the exposed skin of MDC & SDC critters alike. But as it has a fairly low chance of penetrating tin foil, it could be safely used to spray an area that had friendly troops in it. (We ALWAYS wear armor into combat). It's not a huge advantage, but it h...

NoJack

If you can't move anything by shining light on it... then where do Solar sail theories come from? or launch lasers?

NoJack

Yeah as to no knock down power, light is what exactly? That's right kids millions of tiny particles called Photons. In spite of everything we "Know" about lasers being energy weapons. While living in Russia I got to attend an experiment at a university where they were demonstrating a laser's effect ...

NoJack

Yanni? That makes me want to break something... Ugh, next it would be Enya... I did have an idea for the 3 galaxies / Macross-Robotech crossover. Can anyone imagine what the splugorth would do with a giant SDC warrior race... hmm maxi-juicer conversion much? Soldiers almost a s large as a CAF Battle...

NoJack

uhh... game balance? they use that in Palladium games? Never noticed. Our GM let us use Rahu-men Gunslingers, one of us was a wired Gunslinger and the other was a regular slinger... well as regular as any 12' four-armed slinger could be. It was an epic sort of thing, dealing with fallen knights and ...

NoJack

No, I think I'm in the right place... at least i was enjoying this thread, and i figured somebody who read to the end would be able to help me out... Thanks anyway.

NoJack

Hmm... yeah I just got my copy of the first Robotech DVD, have to agree with the general concensus that the guys who made that were on crack. They even managed to make the Veritechs ugly... that's hard. It seems to follow the Mckinney books pretty well, or are they a novelization of that collection ...

NoJack

Nightlords (from Nightbane) Vs. The gods from the Pantheons book

NoJack

The errors were in the very OCCs, they don't reflect much more than a shallow misunderstanding of "japanese" culture.

NoJack

The hat's off man, all the way to the floor. If it was a book I'd pay money for it. You've inspired me to put my CS in the 3 galaxies story on the back burner and start a Robotech/Macross II in the three Galaxies story... only problem is that in addition to being less heavily armed, the Veritechs/Va...

NoJack

The three inch bore of most Naruni Weapons wins me over every time. I think it's a horror factor of 14, but I'd have to check the book. The big bore runs a close second for sheer "whatcha gonna do now punk?" flavor. Also I'd take any railgun that acts like a raigun instead of a fully automatic peash...

NoJack

Well we brought our group over from Macross II (have done it from Robotech as well) It was kinda cool except for the fact that after evading the killer sats in Orbit we decided to make for the planet's surface (we didn't know about the dust cloud) the GM ruled that our shields were barely enough to ...

NoJack

The flavor text anout this bot or that bot being "as powerfull as the legendary glitterboy" is so much fluff. At every instance, the mentioned piece of hardware has less armor, damage dealing ability and/or redeeming features, and that includes many of the GB variants. Take the TX-1000 Ulti-max. Gre...

NoJack

Ok I recently read the Deathmatch story that's attatched to Mattbaby's sig line. Funny as all get out. Start with your munchkin, and then for followups how it would over come the previous munchkins... afterwords have to pick the best of the munchkin ideas and run a poll to decide who would win. In t...

NoJack

Seljuk from phase world are good, so are sillhouettes if you like magic.

From the three galaxies book minotaurs. Space Cows anyone?

NoJack

Vagabond calls out to GB in French (where did you think it came from?) "He iz a wizard!"

GB fires killing LLW and deafening the vagabond.

GB doesn't waste any ammo on the vagabond using the laser on the secondary weapons package instead.

NoJack

Only because they are the anti-thesis of power creep. Australia was interesting, but Japan... hey I'm a 50' full conversion dragon borg, but hey my hand to hand is still SDC because I used to be human... Uhm... yeah. Power creep, natural progression, whatever you want to call it it makes some sense,...

NoJack

I'm glad to see that for once, just once it's not a Gb loses to everything post. Ok here's my take on it, concentrated fire plus any amount of distance and you have spare GBK parts everywhere... At point blank range I have a question: How much does a GBK weigh? Less I'm guessing than the Über heavy ...

NoJack

This is an interesting alternative to the (insert expletive here) Palladium version of Japan. Why is it that as soon as a ninja thinks to use modern equipment he becomes a wus? Lets see trained my whole life to become a ninja/samurai cool now I get a juicer conversion and lose all those skills and a...

NoJack

Something to remember the GB CAN fire while the pylons are retracted/useless. THey can fire from flat on their back. As for moving into the blind spot, try leading the target enough to plant and then there are pieces of NG scrap falling to the earth as the boom hits. Mostly good ideas, I just wouldn...

NoJack

I'd take a russian Jet over a mirage any day. Yaks are ok, but the SU-35... word's just aren't enough. This thing flies rings around the (cough) F-22 and it's a real shame that the Russians don't have the money to build them.

NoJack

Macross Zero is when they are just developing the veritech fighters, so you get to see the advancements, and some of the characters are familiar like Roy Fokker. As to the show itself I could only ever find 3 episodes and the third one I got was subbed in Portugese... 8[ I've still watched it 2-3 ti...

NoJack

So is Macross Zero old news here? Because I definately enjoyed that one. CG Veritech's and Destroids looked great...

NoJack

The Hand to hand damage is still way under par for a 50' robot wit ha PS of 60 (robotic I hope) But it's good to see that he upped the armor. I played some straight crossovers a few times, and it really sucks to get chewed up by a few SAMAS bursts.

NoJack

Why is it that when people compare technology they almost invariably compare it to Japan? Sure the book said they were more advanced, but then there were no miracles that showed this. We got 50' borgs that did sdc in hand to hand because they were "built onto sdc creatures" We get Ninjas who as soon...

NoJack

Chipwell Armor with heavy Naruni Weapons... They laugh at you right up untill they see the 3" bores pointed their way... One failed horror factor later.
