If I was to run an online seminar in the chat rooms to help people in creating martial art styles, hand to hand combat skills, etc. for Palladium's games (HU, PF, Rifts, N&S, ATB, etc), would anyone be interested?

I suppose... I have a pretty good idea how to make Martial Arts but it might be nice to have a few stylized ones for Nightbane... Necromancer-fu, or something to replace martial arts for 'Bane. Something spectacular for the Guardians because the Lightbringer story says they used some kung-fu moves, but they only have HtH basic in character creation.

O-Sensei, enlighten us with your wisdom.

Sure. When and would it be in Palladium's chat rooms?

Would depend on time/day, but probably. I'm tired of seeing warrior monks, palladins, and a bunch of others using the same HtH, yet, trying to import any of the martial arts from other settings just does NOT seem to work. They are extremely powerful, compared to the other HtH's.

With Palladins, ya gotta love it. Seeing a man in platemail who's using martial arts without problems.. just is NOT right

I'd love that. I'm not sure however if I would be able to be there. Would it be possible for someone to copy the whole session and put it up on here? Or send it to me? (That is if I am unable to attend)

I could probably get the logs from it, yeah.

I'd like to discuss it in the chat rooms, I have a few ideas myself and would like to see what you think. Depending on the time though I may not be able to, keep us updated.

Yes I would that would be great would you also cover MA powers? Could you take a transcript of your lesson and add it to the cutting room floor?

Uh sir... sir... ooo! ooo! Sir!
No disrespect or nothing, but like how long is this going to take?
like, what, an hour or so?
I wanna beat people up right now! I got the pajamas. Ha..yo...wa... wooo!
just show me all those nifty moves so I can start trashing bozo's. That's all I came here for. Yo-as-ta-ta-shah! Pretty good aye?

Tests show that it takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour and a half to create a style (depending on what you're doing, familiarity with the combat system, and how much experience you have with creating them). In a seminar setting, with multiple people pursuing different avenues, this will no doubt take longer, but it still shouldn't be more than a few hours for everyone to get their stuff done.

Yes, I can cover MAPs as well.

Could you take a transcript of your lesson and add it to the cutting room floor?

Well, probably not the Cutting Room Floor, but a transcript could be posted.

... and another for Jenny and her wimpy husband Hank.

*The Frantics were great.*

yes a hand to hand creation system would be too cool. that way i can make unique fighting systems for people from differant areas as well as for characters so they dont all have the same fighting styles.

I thought that I was the only one who knew of them.

And so, Mike Taylor, for knowing of the Frantics, I bequeath to you all of my vast, expansive, and extensive **BOOT TO THE HEAD** ........and 25 Geek Points.


....but seriously, Kuseru, good idea.

Hmm...Maybe I should schedule weekly seminars...

The first seminar will be held Monday, October 10th, 7PM EST, in The Pit.

How about following it up with an article in the Rifter?

In the chat rooms.

I have learned that not a single one of us can defeat you, Master... so we'll have to gang up on you! GET HIM GUYS!!

why not an article in the rifter if i may ask?

i truthfully hadnt thought about that. totaly understandable from that standpoint.

Speaking of the chat rooms. How do you get in them? I'm sorry I've never used them before. I get to the page with the rules and such, however I cannot find the way into the rooms. At the bottom of the page there is a Java applet that tries to open but I keep getting a red 'x' over it and nothing loads. I have Java installed.

Just another random idea:

Chocolate covered chipmunks.

I was referring to being able to get into the chatrooms so that I could get to the pit. So that I could attend the seminar. It wasn't totally random.

However I did find your random answer actually rather helpful.

What version of the Java Applet are you running. My copy of the latest is hit or miss on getting in.

Java 2 platform standard edition version 1.4.1

Try an update, might help you (might not)

Well, it looks like I'll have to postpone the seminar until the chat rooms are fixed.

Well, if all goes well, it looks like I'll be able to hold the seminar on Friday, October 14th, 7PM EST, in The Pit.

The seminar is on as scheduled and will commence in about 15 minutes or so.


...even though the chat room seems to be laggy today.

Well, I guess that answers the question of how many people would actually be interested.

Waaaaa I was at a NCO ceremony It would be better to do it as a thread like TAF and others do in the RT Forum. That way it isn't only at x time.

I just cant get the damn chat to work

still working on it....

any chance we could get this going again?
