Something different

Unread post by jade von delioch »

hi, i plan to do change everything over to SDCs when i get back to running rifts, but not point to point. I.e. 1 mdc to 100 sdcs cause that would defeat the purpose. the reason i am doing this is so that the characters can encounter a werewolf and have the possibility of being infected without it taking a entire limb during the situation. i kind of already have a idea of how i'm going to do, but what i was wondering is if anyone out there had any advise to give; any words of wisdom?

My advice: save yourself the headache and just use the magic curse for your intended werewolf victim.
What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world. - R E Lee
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. - G Orwell

We have actually only been gaming Rifts as MDC for the past year and a half or so. When we started gaming Rifts (about 17 years ago) we couldn't stand the MDC system. Now that we've all been gaming it for a while now we decided to use the MDC system and we like it.

As for the "headache" there really is no headache to switch the MDC to SDC at all. I now enjoy the MDC system, but the SDC was great too while it lasted. :)

SDC is not gone.

There are SDC worlds outside of Rifts.

He means for his Rifts game. He's pretty bright, for a Marine.

Didn't we use SDC? I prefer SDC Rifts to MDC for human scaled things anyway.


If we gamed Rifts then we did SDC :P

i have run the game using the MDC for a couple years now but after a while i've gotten a bit bitter with the MDC thing and see it as none realistic since in TMNT the lasers do SDC but if those same Lasers went to rifts they would do MDC. there are other reasons for making the switch that i will not go into right now, but for the most part it is to make the game more interesting.

The headache is in converting Palladium were-beasties that AREN"T INFECTIOUS by their nature into something that was designed for several other systems. There's an existing solution that completely skips the headache and lets game play proceed as normal - not to mention being far far more devious than the over-used wornout werewolf attack followed by a quest to cure/control the affliction.

Personally I never liked the Vampire and Were-Creature rules. I converted that into something that worked for us about 10-12 years ago. So my headache is better now :)
