Why would I be insulted by flattery?

Thank you very much. I think it would be even more fun in HU with insect control powers. You should check out the four horsemen in Rifts Africa for ideas there as well. Lot of cool stuff the works better in an SDC game.

That's the concept of living, self-guided ammo. The range doesn't matter. Impact Beetles have range because they move so fast they operate like a bullet. The rest of the bugs adjust their trajectory continuously to reach their target.

They were hinting that it might make it's way into the Minion War.

The metamorphic weapon damage is added to the supernatural punch damage. It's like putting a bat in a 4 year old's hands, verses Barry Bond's hands.

The essence isn't trapped in a dark weapon like rune weapons, it's incinerated slowly and brutally over a period of weeks.

Crap, I'm the one that forgot to put in the P.B. notice. I was going to have it a few points lower than the standard because they cover themselves in some pretty aggressive piercings (or maybe a few points more if you're into that kind of thing). Glad you liked the bone weapons. I had a few traps in...

I sent it off. Love to hear what you think.

I tried to make the setting interesting. It's more than just a vampire dominated world and a few human stragglers. Here are some of the highlights: 1. The Vampire Nations: 5 vampire intelligences conquered the nightside of the planet and enslaved billions of humans. They keep the population suppress...

slappy

You'd have to see what I did. Like any vampire kingdom, they use daytime minions to ensure no place is truly safe.

I actually wrote a 200 page sourcebook on this very subject. It is a world in the Anvil Galaxy called Hellworld. The pole faces the sun so one hemisphere is in perpetual darkness while the other is forever in light. Previously only the equator was habitable but as their technology improved they buil...

The easiest way to remember is if I wrote it, then it's not official.

I just noticed something as I was rolling up a swarm lord, the swarm lord doesn't get host armor pilot as one of their occ skill programs. Was this left out on purpose? I assumed the hive armor is still considered a host armor, yes? That was intentional. If you look in the Splicers book you'll see ...

Good catch. I will edit it right now.

m Thought this would be easier in its own thread. Enjoy. Evolved Leviathan War Mount The Leviathan War Mount has been a staple within the Resistance armory for generations, but as the war continued to escalate and the Machine adapted to the Splicers’ tactics, this once seemingly unstoppable beast be...

slappy

Glad you liked it. I definitely wanted to keep the flavor of the old while improving it slightly enough to make it a bit more...desirable. This was pretty much done on the fly (literally this week). We don't have much room in the sourcebook so we're just throwing these out for fun. And yes, the Levi...

Chuck decided to flex his artistic muscles by drawing his take on the classic Strider. m Since it was different looking enough from the classic write up, we gave it its own write up. Cygnus Strider The Strider’s speed and versatility has made it a favorite War Mount among Outriders since it was firs...

slappy

I agree with your point, but the other reason I picked the quicker progression was because it is in line with the idea of enhancing Metamorphs to the max to test their limits.

slappy

Since the Metamorph is a Biotic, I think the Biotic Table is appropriate. And since the Swarm Lord controls multiple creatures, I think the Packmaster table is appropriate, so ironically they both use the same table.

slappy

I see your point but even the main book talks about how people that refuse to fight are part of the underclass. I think you're overestimating people's rationality. It's like saying people wouldn't commit any crime because it harms society or because they could be punished if caught. People are selfi...

slappy

I have to agree with your favorite Chuck artwork on that one. The Bruiser looks like it could batter an Assault Slayer into submission. I also liked the Combat Form illustration. It's a perfect balance of human and unnatural. Nothing too extreme, but you wouldn't be confused into thinking this is a ...

slappy

Glad you like it. That's pretty much how I would use it. Burn up one form, then rise from the shattered remains like a bloody phoenix ready for more. I would love to hear what people think of it in action.

slappy

Oh I've been around. Just had to force myself to keep from sharing everything I've been writing.

Premier, Is it possible for you to put the swarmlord art on DA? Stil waiting for my 51, takes a while to get a copy in norway:D

I would do 1D4+1 rounds at 3D8 M.D. Per round.

Someone give me a pointer here! If you buy locusts for 35 bio -e you get 50 of them? How do I calculate dmg for that? or can you only release bugs in waves of 20-40-60 etc? Yeah you get 50 but you generally want to release smaller swarms to save "ammo." Although I must admit not having da...

Got Rifter #51 today. 2 new O.C.C.'s 1 is the "Metamorph" - will review in a separate thread. The other is our beloved Swarm Lord. First off, let me say that the picture on page 32 [and all of Chuck's art] KICKS BUTT!!!! Damn boy, you got some skillz! Second, I have not completely compare...

Here is a little preview of the Necro Stalker (the illustration is called the mecha zombie). Enjoy. The Necro Borgs and Necro Bots are some of the Machine’s most terrifying instruments of psychological warfare. N.E.X.U.S. has learned how to take the bodies of the fallen, animate them with her nanobo...

I'm all for using enhancements to negate the weight penalties. Sounds good to me.

slappy

Makes sense. I understood the reason for the new format, I just wanted to be able to compare to the other books, so thank you for including that. On another note, fantastic book. I was really looking forward to this one when I heard about it and it lived up to all expectations. One bit of info I wou...

Got Fleets today and read through it a bit. I think it's great, but I have to ask, why are none of the Main Body M.D.C. numbers included in the starship descriptions? They are only found in the ship building section on pages 25-28. Seems like a weird choice.

slappy

Got one and he rocks! Nearly everything on the list has an illustration.

slappy

Ouch. In fairness, our self-imposed deadline was April, but I do feel bad about missing it by this much. We are both knuckling down to finish off the first book with a second one to hopefully follow quickly. I must say though, that if you've liked what I've posted on the forums, you'll really love w...

slappy

Very Impressive! I really like the incorporation of the House Symbol. I especially like the leg and torso design. Excellent work.

slappy

I don't have the article in front of me, so I can't confirm. Are you sure it's cut off. I didn't really have any kind of conclusion paragraph, it just ends after the final enhancement. You can check it on the forums here.

Then you are going to love the robot design Chuck Walton came up with.

I'm a big fan of those biker bots from the trailer too. I'm really impressed with everything I've seen so far. It looks like that movie is going to live up to the hype.

slappy

The energy levels are too low so it would burn through 20%. This could also be the reason they were so difficult to control by Toleen's mages. The hunger is so strong that they just go wild and wade into the magic rich forces surrounding them. They would focus first on human mages for ease and conve...

slappy

Sorry about that. Been busy.

Just look at the original post in this thread. It's under the Siren infiltrator link.

slappy

Thank you for the kind words. Means a lot coming from someone who I consider to have some wonderful talent.

I do hope it encourages people to give Splicers a try. We hope to impress.

I statted out every character in Hammer of the Forge a long time ago. If anyone wants them PM me an email address and I'll send them. I actually submitted them years ago, but never got a response. Of course, some things don't quite apply anymore as the series has gone on (which is why they never wan...

slappy

Just working on it when I can. No real news other than that.

slappy

I would love to post more, but I have to stop if I want it to get published. Kind of why I've been so absent from the boards (that and damn jobs and family getting in the way). I've been churning out a pretty steady string of stuff. All of which is awesome I might add. Actually, it's mainly the artw...

My hope is to have a completed manuscript submitted for review by March. Probably 150 pages of material so far and I'm guessing 100 pages to go. It's a combination adventure book/sourcebook.

slappy

Is it seriously ending next issue? I know people have been wanting that, but I will really miss it and am sad to see it go. I was really hoping they were going to get around to the Lord of the Deep like they alluded to all the way back in chapter 1.

slappy

I love Hammer of the Forge. I would miss it greatly. I'll admit some installments are not as solid as others, but as a whole, I think it's fantastic. I can see people's point that the swimsuit issue does not contain as much usable info as most Rifters, but that's not true of the Halloween specials. ...

slappy

It's coming along very well actually. Hope to wrap it up this year. It's going to be more of an adventure book than a sourcebook although it will be loaded up with new creations to keep it interesting. I'm very proud of it and I think it will add a unique twist to the Splicers setting.

slappy

I wanted to let everyone know that Chuck Walton and I put together a submission for the Swimsuit Issue to give everyone a taste of our sourcebook and I just found out that we got in. As usual, Chuck's artwork is absolutely stunning and the bio isn't have bad either. By the way, if you'd like to see ...

slappy

Nice. Very well done and a nice addition. I have only one criticism. I think it should have Host Armor. I know the book says Host Armor is rare, but it really makes sense for the Trailblazer. It's the same decision I had to come to with the Deliveryman. Living Armor needs to be recharged in the unde...

I created some robot infiltrators that can become player characters. It's not that they developed free will, but the Eve personality programmed some to be protectors. You could really do the same with any of the Machine robots. Have Eve make a few protectors. The majority would be destroyed by the o...

Actually what Chuck worked up for a cover is even better.

I have a couple I've been kicking around: Boozers: Looks like a three-armed squid. They excrete a strong alcoholic beverage. They come in fruit and various mint flavors. Favorite drink among many Splicers, as long as they can ignore the fact they’re drinking the urine from a mutant squid. Also known...

I had the same thought, that's why I gave Rifter 0 my hand held bio-weapon enhancements.

In fairness, it's hard to market when you have no money. Every dollar has been stretched pretty thin since the employee embezzlement scandal. That probably goes along with the "lack of interest" thing. I doubt they can afford to just sit on inventory. If it isn't going to sell, no reason t...
