You have to do some planning or there is no campaign. What is annoying is when you have something set up and the player refuses to have his character do anything. I had one player who liked to have his character be lazy and sleep in even when the character was supposed to be a detective and out looking for clues. He made his character's writing skill the focus and instead of adventuring, he would play the character as lazy and only going about any adventuring at all to get ideas for the character's book. Then the player would complain that his character was not leveling up as fast as those of players who actually went on adventures regularly, and once even flat out tried to derail the session by trying to have his character get to the other characters to join in a battle he was missing but was clear across town for and there was no way to get him included in on.flatline wrote:DhAkael wrote:Anyone ever get to the point as a GM where you throw up your hands and go; "I'm done.

Just wonderin'...
Why would a GM do significant planning before the PC's goals were clear?

I hate that as a player, so as GM I always take into consideration that enemies, whether animal or monster or villain, are likely to run away or back down if the fight is obviously overwhelming to them. Not every fight will be a fight to the death, and it annoys me when GMS make fights that way.KillWatch wrote:What bothers me in some games is when the GM runs animal intelligence creatures as if they have some sort of vendetta against the players.

I have never seen this happen before. In all the groups I've played with, most everybody has been almost neurotic about not just keeping track of the character's personal inventory, but also recording information about things that might be useful to go back for in the future.
Personally, as a player, I always kept track of inventory in a seperate notebook since it changed so often that it would totally ruin the character sheet if I actually wrote it there.

You wrote it on there or you bought post it notes that had that on them already?
I personally use a scrap piece of paper or a notebook for my inventory, money, HP, SDC, AR, and things that can fluctuate during play.

This also makes combat in RIFTS far less tedious.

Lol what? I wrote it on there, and reuse the daylights out of it. To buy them already like that would be a crazy coincidence.

Then i say, "Do you have a torch on the sheet?" "Umm, no." "Well then you can't light what you

month later
Otherwise I'm pretty relaxed.

That's when you just pack up early and leave without a work. When the players contact you later about next game, just leave out that person.

Not always an option. Some of us live in an area were beggars can't be choosers. Then there is my other problem, I run at my place. However, I have been known to sit back and read a novel while my players are messing around until they get the message I am not happy with them.
I can understand Damian's problem. Some players just can't help themselves with pulling one over on the GM as if they are trying to "win" the game or "beat" the GM at something.

To see the 'end game' of any argument the player is trying to intentionally manipulate to his advantage, sadly as some players just like to do.
SittingBull wrote:Like a player who sees kick-boxing as giving a free kick attack. Then the player tries to do unreasonable stuff with his feet (not an attack) just to get an extra action. Thats the best I can think of off hand. I haven't had a problem player in over a decade.
I did have one player who went by the books 100%. If you tried to change ANYTHING it was ugly. Then he would still try/plan to do things in a way, legal by the books, but not allowed in game. For example: I have always done boxing as no extra attack. He would still try to get his extra action if I didn't stop him. He never recognized a GM's right to have final say or to make house rules.

Why such animosity towards Heroes Unlimited characters? Not every mutant is a power-house and certainly most of the classes are SDC/HP creatures and comparable to the characters you find in the Rifts books. The nature of Rifts is explicitly rooted in the setting being a melting pot of characters from every setting due to the random nature of rifts causing things from every setting to occasionally get stuck there.
one room dice and rpg's the next room............well people hanging from the ceiling her transvestite husband whipping people......a good night was had by all i am sure.I had the bad experience once of allowing a Rifts character to be used in my HU2 game that was a Juicer Ninja and he had like a +14 bonus to save vs. poison or some such. It was like that for all his stats, so there was very little I could do to make it challenging for the player and it was unfair to other players that this one character had such inflated bonuses across the board. I was also just starting as a GM and it made me have the rule that first I have to have all characters rolled in front of me and second that no OCCS can be brought in from books I do not own, and I own very few Rifts books.Damian Magecraft wrote:Never had an issue with that myself...

Of course as the GM I reserve the right (and most likely will exercise it) to adjust all relevant stats and bonuses to fit my setting.

It would have to be on a case by case basis, and I would have to go ever everything before allowing it. My mistake was saying it was okay without going over the sheet first and knowing what I was getting myself into. The player in question was very used to playing in a battle-oriented campaign, so my answer to that was to put him into situations where his skills and abilities were next to useless, as he was not used to solving problems outside of hacking and slashing.Damian Magecraft wrote:my question is this...
Would you allow a PA player to utilize the Rifts option to save time on char creation?
Example: in one HU game I ran; I had a player who was clueless as to what he wanted to run and let the dice decide...
He rolled and got robot/exoskeleton. He liked the idea but did want to waste a lot of time designing his suit. So he asked if he could just run a Glitterboy (converted to sdc) and have the gun be a sonic canon? (only the side effects and minor SDC damage [3d6] applied).
I thought the idea was pretty cool and allowed it.

Because in many of our experiences, those people do not want the low power options. They want the powers that give them MDC on cyborg levels and energy expulsions that increase over levels. If they chose low powered options then they seem not be be on par with the OCC/RCC skills/abilities. In that case I would prefer them to choose a vagabond/city rat/scholar or even man at arms type and tack on a power.

Okay, and if you allow cyborgs into your game or other MDC creatures what exactly is wrong with an MDC super-human from Heroes Unlimited? If you're allowing these other MDC things why treat this MDC thing as being so horribly wrong when it's comparable to the rest? Nearly all energy expulsions grow in power over levels, but not that fast and I don't think a game tends to run long enough for such a character to exceed or even equal some of the commonly available weapons, so again why specifically complain about the HU superhuman? He's not equipped with anything that's excessive compared to what's available to the rest of the group.
It also seems contrary to then complain if they choose less-powerful options as being somehow inferior to locals and that they should just take a local and give it a power. It seems as if you've just got issues with Heroes Unlimited and choose whatever stance is negative towards it to insist that only a Rifts OCC is 'good enough'. If they want something tough like the local cyborg might be or hatchling dragon you complain about them wanting something 'too powerful' but if they go with something else like a Hunter/Vigilante or Stage Magician they're not 'too weak and inferior' to be acceptable. Which is unfortunate for any players that could have had a good time and made things fun for everyone but couldn't because they weren't allowed the option to play the HU character they wanted and had to play yet another Rifts OCC.

Calm down. You asked a question. I answered it. No need to attack me (red) You asked a general question of "why so much anomosity of HU characters in Rifts?" I answered in General terms on what people like me experienced. I also never said anywhere that only a rifts OCC is 'good enough'. I like HU very much. Had 4-5 awesome character concepts in about 3 campaigns.

Best example:
My eldest brother telling me what to do every 5 minutes or arguing why when he opens a chest it should contain a plasma cannon not a laser pistol or that his force field generator has too few MDC to be starting out with
My middle brother and I refuse to play with either of these two douches
It's unacceptable and ruins the fun of a RPG
