The Megaverse and you...

Unread post by Colt47 »

Ok, lets face it: in the whole giant world of things it seems like every author in palladium has a different idea on how martial arts work in the different worlds of the megaverse. Also, might I add trying to actually make martial arts a viable option in Rifts is a headache. I've looked at Kuseru's take on it, and read the rifter authors take on it, and listened to several friends takes on it (which pretty much just took ideas from both Kuseru and the Rifter author to make a merging). I'm not even going to mention Rifts China 2 as that seemed to just make a messed up situation even more messy. It's like people are trying to build a system from scratch every new release! :-?

Overall, do people here think that the system should be rebuilt from the ground up, or should the existing system continue, albeit tweaked and fixed as needed?

Overall, my vote is to keep tweaking the existing system until it becomes the basis for all hand to hand combat in the Megaverse.

Norbu the Enchanter: Hello friends! What brings you to my shop today?

Big Joe: We need some things enchanted to take a beating...

Norbu: Perhaps you want your weapons enchanted? Or maybe a shield or sword? I can even enchant armor!

Big Joe: We need you to enchant this Liver, this heart, and these kidneys.

Norbu: :shock:

Werd!!!

Ninjas & Superspies really is the bastard child of Palladium Books. It's a good kid but the parents would rather pretend it never happened.
I love a good fight...

I would of said it...the bad kids pretend it doesn't exist becasue its soo much better then rifts. (bad=rifts munchkines...errrrr oh I forgot munchkins just LOVE bringing N&S and MC stuff into rifts to *&^*^* with the GM. So bad=narrow minded rifts players who don't have any non-rifts books.)
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

You know, my favorite read when it comes to this sort of stuff is the "Fixing Chi in the Palladium Megaverse" that Kuseru made. :-D

Indeed. It's the common sense that the megaverse needed to make the many worlds a better place. Kuseru should so get his material published into a book. It wouldn't be bad at all considering how much material he has on the web. :lol:

It wouldn't all fit in one book. ;)

Personally, I just ignore anything other than N&S. Works for me. :)
