I chose Emperor Prosek dies. Then Joe can take the throne. Maybe change some of the stupider, short sighted, self defeating policies.

With a war between North America vs Splugorth Atlantis, we all know that the Naruni would get involved with supplying the anti splugorth factions. And would the Sunaj make their move? How bout the Atlanteans who have formed the underground? I could see the Elysariuns, with the help of some barbarian clans, spearheading a counterstrike on the splugorth also.
An invasion force from vampire kingdoms would be interesting, however Ihavent gotten a copy of arzno for further research so I need to get that.
Xiticix would be interesting to see, it reminds me of the Invid invasion in robotech.
A CS civil war would be likely if Joseph Prosek succeeded Karl. As we have seen in alot of the books, Joseph may be the head of propaganda, however, he has been in contact with magic users (IE The Vanguard). If news of that got out, we would definitely have some backlash on him and a nation who would feel betrayed by the very man who heads the propoganda to do away with the evils from the rifts.
What about the Nxla? Does psyscape defeat them or will the nxla get out of hand and become a major player in the troubles of the world?
Mechanoid invasion? Rifts Earth would lose... If it was a small invasion force, maybe we could win, but if the main force came, no contest, Earth couldn't stop the numbers, let alone the destructive capabilities of them...
Maybe the Brodkil and Gargoyles, with the help of the Pheonix Empire, overrun NGR, causing the Free Quebec to be called in for help.
It's interesting because one event could change the course of things all over the planet. With the destruction of Tolkeen, its suprising that there weren't more changes besides the alliance between free quebec and the CS and Naruni trying to gain a favorable market without being noticed.

Sorry nothing there but hate for each other kidnap a man's wife and kill his baby son, somehow i dont think any alliances will come aboutCyberwatt wrote:Mech-Viper wrote:yeah right we'll get FOM vs CS part II
Not exactly. It would be more complicated than that. Emperor Prosek may be a magic-hating fascist, but I suspect he has his pragmatic side too. Even Hitler, whom Prosek admires, forged an alliance with Russia (a nation espousing a political system he despised) in order to take pressure off of his eastern front and allow him to focus on the primary threat from the western allies. The Xiticix, with their unmistakably united front, would quite likely be perceived as the greater threat and might force a temporary alliance, which neither power would have the slightest inclination to honor once their mutual foe was vanquished.
Just some thoughts,

I'd got for the assassination of Karl Prosek (you read that right) so Jojo can step in and make the Coalition even better. This would lead to all sorts of political in-fighting and maybe even a minor shooting skirmish (but I wouldn't call it an out right Civil War). In this time of turmoil while the Coalition's attention is diverted inwards the continent could get a taste of what things would be like if the CS weren't there to keep things under control, hammering home the concepts of the lesser of may evils, and a necessary evil.

The CS takes on the Xiti--Zee-eye--*gah*--the bug-men of the north & reduces them to "managable" numbers.
The Vampire Intelligences try to push north, only to get slapped hard by the combined forces of some CS forces, magic from the remaining FoM, and some Cyber-Knights. This leads to the 'patching' of the fractured Cyber-Knight factions.
The Mechanoids return, but not just with the latest tech, but a new infiltration & destruction plan. Beware.
Erin Tarn names her successor, then goes into retirement on some far-off paradise world.

next in Rifts
How about renewed hostilities from the Federation of Magic?With the CS weakened from the Tolkeen war,they might view this as the perfect time to strike.
Have you ever been thrown out of a Rifts game for being smarter than the Game Master?
I'm surprised by the number of votes for CS Civil War? Now that Free Quebec is out of the picture, and the CS is basking in the victory over Tolkeen, why would there be a civil war? What's such a huge issue for them at the moment that's not just "politics as usual?"
I voted for the Xiticix, but I agree with the poster who pointed out that it's more b/c of the Lazlo and CS actions against them than an acute xiticix onslaught coming southward.
Two other events I would place in my "Rifts World" as bigger metaplot events of consequence would involve the Calgary Rift and some NGR action. Or maybe Myrlyyn finally getting Artur to lead the non-Myrlyyn friendly knoghts on a crusade in France (as one book once suggested was a Myrlyyn-inspired plot). Finally, I see the Coalition definitely participating against the Xiticix, but also working on establishing more border presences in line with their 20-year plan as laid out by Prosek. I really hate to say it, but Kingsdale's gonna' be on the chop block in the next 3 years or so.
Ok, so one final thought... I also see Dunscon pushing really, really hard to unite more of the FOM, and him wanting really really badly to strike the CS while they're recupping from the Tolkeen war, but he'd be too paranoid of Dweomer to actually use all his resources in an assault vs. the CS right now.

No way. They may be going into a rebuilding year, but the CS came out badder than ever after the Tolkeen War. The FoM's greatest assest was the Coalition's lack of experience in combating magic on a large diverse scale. All that's changed now. They have vets who know every anti-magic trick in the book now and have killed every kind of supernatural or magic using menace that's ever walked, slithered or teleported. If the FoM isn't shaking in it's boots these days, they be smart if they started now.

I didn't see an option for a complete revision of the milieu metaplot from PA 105-109. That's were my vote goes.
Oops, that wasn't "next".
Hmm.
I want more sourcebooks and worldbooks set in a single non-advancing era. PA 100 or PA 109. Less metaplot, more metacrunch.
* Via Campaign Cartographer, or similar program.
** Before it was destroyed, without its leadership having turned to evil.
*** With a superior explanation for the "Orbital Denial System" around Earth.

My first choice wasnt available: NGR and the Gargoyles have a full-scale war. Maybe Mindwerks joining in the fun. Heck, even the Brodkil could have a blast here.
But on the list my pick was invasion of the Mechanoids, mostly because my current campaign involves the group clearing them from Aberdeen.
That would be a great start to an even bigger campaign against them.

What if a shifter open a portal to bring in a fifty thousand mechanoids or so in to the hive lands of southern canada might weaken the bugs a fair bit and make for a interesting quest. How cauld this go wrong lol!

Yes, I say Rifts Timeline needs a freeze. Period. Keep the books coming, but stop advancing the timeline with them.
It makes everything lose consistency.

I like a lot of these ideas, especially an Atlas, Chi-Town, Lazlo etc.RainOfSteel wrote:I didn't see an option for a complete revision of the milieu metaplot from PA 105-109. That's were my vote goes.
Oops, that wasn't "next".
Hmm.
I want more sourcebooks and worldbooks set in a single non-advancing era. PA 100 or PA 109. Less metaplot, more metacrunch.

I don't agree with a lot of it though as well, I don't think any of the following are necessary yet; Sol System, Sourcebook: Techno Wizardry, Demon Seas, Wastelands, Super Nexus Points, Psyscape The City, Kingsdale, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic areas and New West Revised. I would prefer Palladium fix England and Africa first, then release Chi-Town and Lazlo.
I couldn't give a flying fish about underseas - has anyone really used that book for any length of time?
I like New West, I do think it's a bit cliched but it depends on how you play it. My west is full of psi-stalkers, simvan, borgs, juicers, d-bees, mages, freaks, vampires etc. not just cowboys and indians. It gives it a very particular feel- there are still saloons and shoot outs but I avoid the super cliches like show downs at dawn and everbody wearing 10gallon hats and spurs.
The word "THAN" is important. Something is "better than" something else, not "better then", it's "rather than" not "rather then".
