i'm brand new here and i would like to try to become a good participant in this fourm.

I have been introduce to palladium for over 5 years by some friends of mine and i have fell in love with it from
my first exposure and explaination of what the story of rifts are about, my friend explained like a good gm would, embellishing and making up the facts!
However i was hooked about the story and he did a great job giving tabletop rpg a positive light where before i felt negitive about tabletop rpg as nothing more then D&D style.

"my experince was not good with the D&D games form the unexperince DMs i played with!"

My first book was rifter 3 that i borrowed and that introduce me to KNIGHTS OF THE DINNER TABLE.
I next purchased a used rifts black hardcover book,rifts Vampire Kingdom,Ninja & Superspies and my latest is Dead Reign.

The games i played with my friends group were fun eye opening and movie like memorable, "well most of the time it was, lol"
Unfortunatly my friend moved and the gaming ended
This left me with buying more rifters and books but no one to play with, so it turned to be a quite hobby that i could enjoyed by reading about it but not playing it.
Recently i introduce the game to a new crowd of friends that are showing intrest but i have to kinda hold their hand and make it very easy ignoring the detailed game mechanics to more of a fate roll of the dice game, gradually i'm putting more details game mechanics as they play, i'm getting good feedback from them as a new GM but it is still hard to get them to play even if they say they want to.
I think the game details and charactor creation intimidates them which leaves me to put more effort on me.
Still, i enjoy creating this game world for them and hope they will feel more comfortable the more games we play.
" I guess its good pratice for a gm? "
My game of choice i chose to play with them is Dead Reign, it is easy to understand.
It deals with sdc, no magic so very little ppe to explain or focus on and every one can understand zombies and what to do to survie them "shoot them in the head" "kill the brain"
The occ is also easy to explain and relate to as people like us!

My joining in this site fourm is half loving the palladium world and part asking questions and giving out my ideas as a learning GM.
I want to give as much as take to become a rounded member of this site.
thank you for reading my intro and i hope to speak to my new fourm members
