Sayeen is noble and heroic to the point of being blindly naive and hopeful.

Gale admires him for it, while inwardly groaning whenever he does something that could get him killed or jeopardize the mission.

Gale Wingstorm · Post by **Gale Wingstorm** » Tue Feb 21, 2017 11:02 am

Speculating, but I would tend to think that characters would be more likely to know what a pen and paper RPG is than a video game, as electricity and tech are comparatively rare and prone to breaking. I doubt many places are manufacturing consoles or gaming PCs, though perhaps there would be the equivalent of mobile games/mini games on some of the portable computers manufactured for adventurers.

Contrast that with pen and paper, which doesn't wear out if properly cared for and as comparatively easy to reproduce. Card games are canonized and it's likely that most other forms of non electronic gaming have survived, perhaps even thrived after the apocalypse ended. People have always craved entertainment, and there are centuries of pre apocalyptic entertainment waiting to be unearthed and rediscovered. It's likely some was preserved through the apocalypse to be rediscovered later, especially considering a lot of it comes shrink wrapped if unopened. If the wrap wasn't punctured it should have remained relatively protected from decay.

Pre Rifts games may go for a decent amount of money. I speculate that, much like comics and fiction, they would probably sell for anywhere between 200 and 1,200 credits. (Palladium Rifts Main Book P. 207). Sinder seems like he's probably met people who could afford that kind of stuff, other characters may not even be aware it exists.

Jackal · Post by **Jackal** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 11:10 am

Cory....surprised Fell is following Sayeen into the mouth of madness?

Fell?

Hindrances

Death Wish (Minor) - The Juicer knows he’s going to die, and he wants to go out magnificently, having done something folks remember and are inspired by.
Overconfident (Major) - Has supreme trust in his abilities.
Quirk (Minor) - Severin is prone to chuckling, laughing, cackling or flat out crazy giggling while in the heat of combat. If the situation calls for silence he is able to do so, however in unbidden battles his deadly, loud, crazy laughter echoes across the battle field.
Vow (Minor) - Fight the Supernatural or Evil to save humanity and those in need.

When we are slaughtered the last thing you'll hear is his laughter and the last thing you see of Fell will be his grin as he fights TWO armies!

Epic!

Shhhhh be very very quiet.....Fell is worried about Sayeen and is there to protect him like a teammate and friend would do. Fell cares enough about Sayeen to die with him if that's what comes of this.

1st SET Game:

1. CS and Feds will let us pass - we should go - unless we are going to jump in and help the CS now in their battle. Kill leader while he stands in front of Fell? Then join the CS and take out Feds and then go into building. Together maybe?

2. We will likely have to fight the Feds later if they win.

3. We wont have to fight the CS likely if they win.

4. There are Feds in the building (and a something horrible)

Before I rashly kill the Fed Commander and declare we are on the CS soldiers side, or before I push Sayeen forward and tell the team to move into the building, thoughts?

Nice Job Gale, intangible munition, wicked awesome thought! Merlaggon way to plant the seed for the idea!

Gale Wingstorm · Post by **Gale Wingstorm** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 2:18 am

Thanks!

We've yet to see if it was actually a good thought, waiting on GM for that. :p

Either way, no matter what solution we decided to try would carry a risk. This seemed no more risky, and potentially less risky than trying to disarm the device or trying to transfer pressure from the foot to some expendable object. It also allowed Gale to show off the superiority of psionics. I'm not sure if the raise would have made a difference, but I figured I would try for it as I've got bennies to spare and we're approaching the reset.

I'm thinking the raise would have been a 100% success, but without the raise maybe the explosion is mostly intangible (if there is an explosion at all). Nothing that could hurt anyone, but maybe we all get shaken or have our hair slightly singed.

In hindsight I would have had better odds of a raise if I decided to re-roll, and one can spend multiple bennies re-rolling but only one on extra effort.

Power Plant Technical Documents
A hard drive contain a full technical package of the pre-Rifts power plant.

Going by the prices in the original Rifts Main Book (not RUE), that could potentially be worth millions of credits.

Palladium Rifts P. 208 wrote:Valuable technical journals, how-to instructions, blueprints, schematics, formulas, etc.: 40,000 to 240,000 (4D6 x 10,000) credits. Some high-tech journals/instruction manuals can be worth millions and all are highly illegal in the CS.

It really depends what all is on the hard drive, if it has dozens or hundreds of blueprints, schematics, and formulas you've hit the motherlode.

Yes. However you are really just pre-buying your next advance (like on credit). So if you earn 5 XP next quarter it will already be spent on the advance you choose with your Adventure card.

That was harder to write than I thought.

Gale Wingstorm · Post by **Gale Wingstorm** » Tue May 02, 2017 6:15 am

Her offer boils down to 'we can be friends, but if you don't do what I want we'll leave you to die.'

She could be lying about there being more coalition forces in the area. Is it very believable that they have backup in range?

She could also be lying about the portal, either that she will take us through it or that we will be safe on the other side.

She's basically holding us hostage against ourselves based on her word. What's our smartest play? I get the distinct feeling she's untrustworthy, but it's hard to tell exactly what she's lying about.

There is also the possibility that she is concerned about what we will do with the book and doesn't trust us not to use it, but I'm more inclined to think that she's the one who sent the guy down here to open that portal in the first place.

Anyone who makes a common knowledge test (+2 for Timothy) will know that the Old Chicago is controlled by the CS and they have a major military presence in the ruins. Not only is back up close by, it 's almost a certainty. To top it all off Chi-Town is only 80 miles away, so you're pretty close to the heart of the CS here.

She's basically holding us hostage against ourselves based on her word. What's our smartest play? I get the distinct feeling she's untrustworthy, but it's hard to tell exactly what she's lying about.

That is total speculation, she didn't attack you outright and her story is plausible.

The first couple of days were with friends and I had no time alone to post. I also had to deal with shipping complications with UPS and Canadian customs which required about three hours at a library today to get paperwork sorted...

For Lail:

Battle Fury Blade (TW)

Damage: Str+2d8
Weight: 17
Cost: 13 million
Notes: AP 4, enchanted silver, Mega Damage; 4 Power Points to activate for +2 Fighting (including +1 to Parry), gain Improved Frenzy and Berserk Edges, and +4 Armor for three rounds.

Berserk
Immediately after suffering a wound (including a Shaken result from physical damage), your hero must make a Smarts roll or go Berserk. While Berserk, his Parry is reduced by 2 but he adds +2 to all Fighting, Strength, melee damage rolls, and Toughness. The warrior ignores all wound modifiers while Berserk, but cannot use any skills, Edges, or maneuvers that require concentration, including Shooting and Taunt, but not Intimidation. Berserkers attack with reckless abandon. Anytime his Fighting die is a 1 (regardless of his Wild Die), he hits a random adjacent target (not the original target). The attack may hit friend as well as foe. If there are no other adjacent targets, the blow simply misses. The Berserker may end his rage by doing nothing (not even moving) for one full action and making a Smarts roll at –2.
Improved Frenzy
Frenzied fighters make fast and furious melee attacks, sacrificing finesse for raw speed. This allows them to make an extra Fighting attack per round at a –2 penalty to all Fighting rolls(Not Applicable for Improved Frenzy). This attack must be taken at the same time as another Fighting attack though it may target any two foes adjacent to the hero (Wild Cards roll two Fighting dice and one Wild Die). The –2 penalty is subtracted from all attacks(Not applicable for Improved Frenzy). A character armed with two weapons still only makes one extra attack.

Code: Select all

Ft. (Commence Split the Party, GM's love that) Comanche.

Merl, Sinder and Cory head out? Anyone else with them?

Do we all tag along with them, or split up into smaller groups?

Anyone care?

I am fine splitting up. Normally I do not advise it, but play by post and SR is a bit different.
1) Even though we are novice, we are technically legendary by any other standard savage worlds setting. Therefore as a 2-3 person group we are far more capable. I would advise against going alone though.
2) play by post does lend itself well to splitting up, the gm does not have to spend time with one group, and then go to the next. Making it so some players are not having their scene moved along. The GM, while it does require a bit more work, can move all the scenes alomg simultaneously.

- Lail wants to see what is over in the construction site.

Even in PBP, a split group is a pain for the GM! But it's not so bad for the players.
(From my experience, anyway.)

Currently my players are split over three threads. It does get to be a lot more effort

So, could Cory use Shape Change to turn herself into a dragon(wo)man? She is smaller than a normal person...

Post by **Venatus Vinco** » Tue Jun 27, 2017 2:51 am

Yes,

If you took shape change at character creation you can do it. If you took it later you are limited by your rank.

The things you learn after character creation and after choosing new powers that would have been awesome if chosen at character creation. Oh well! First try!

I never knew that either. Now I want a new character with shape change at creation lol (Joking, I'll just detox Fell, pick up a AB and go without shape change, all his spells will be things like fly - too tired to walk, or disguise - look I'm young and handsome now Cory, and such).

So if its a starting Power then no Rank restrictions?

According to Clink Black, yes. I've only seen it specifically in reference to Shape Change and Summon Ally.

I believe I also saw it for Warrior's Gift. Those are all of the 3 variable rank powers, I believe

So Fell is shoving grenades into zombie throats....

SBT.

FYI Small Burst = I do not think Merl is in the blast zone of the zombie I just fed.

Question on these:

Angry Ghosts

Are these new to us? Same as the "zombies" I fed a grenade to?

when you say: Ghosts....are they ghost like? I'm just trying to decide how to attack them.

Fell will be fighting, but want to make sure they ... look like I could hit them and it would impact?

Ty.

Post by **Venatus Vinco** » Tue Aug 22, 2017 8:35 am

Hello,

yes, they are the exact same being you fought before - you can hit them and they can hit you. I changed terms because grandmother confirmed they are not zombies (animated dead) but reanimate spirits.

Can Merlaggon help Cory with Detect Arcana and also protect her from the Ghosts by mantling his wings around her?
