Palladium Games and Rifts General! /PGaRG/

The world is a broken, post-apocalyptic wasteland destroyed by the eruption of inter-dimensional portals, rifts in the fabric of space-time and ley lines which crisscross the world. Demon & alien invaders have poured out of the rifts to destroy human civilization and claim the Earth. Now the wasteland has had 300 years to partially recover, and civilization has returned to the world; but not just human civilization: alien empires, monster kingdoms, lost time travellers, lands of mutants, demonic overlords and wizards have arisen from the ashes, all trying to rebuild the world in their own image!

RIFTS! The science fantasy world of post-apoc cyborgs, wizards, dragons, ninjas, giant mecha, super-nazis, robot ninjas, vampires, underwater kingdoms, remnant human supertech civilizations and everything you can imagine all rolled into one setting where interdimensional RIFTS have pierced Earth's fabric and turned it into a playground for aliens and monsters!

Plus other Palladium Games about superheroes, zombies, classic fantasy, supernaturals investigation and more.

Talk about:
>RIFTS(tm)
>Heroes Unlimited
>Palladium Fantasy
>Beyond the Supernatural
>Dead Reign
>Robotech (lol)

Good ones? None that I've seen. All of them have either terrible mic/audio quality, awful people, horrible nasally voices, or no video/maps/visuals.

Legion of Myth and RPGisDUm are probably the most popular right now as there seems to be an audience for them. You've watched these guys, right? But you're never going to see any Palladium live plays like Critical Role etc. for D&D.

historically working out has been always a manly trait. Pilates is the try of the fitness industry to get moms to do exercise and get more money.
What you said is like saying football is not a manly sport because there is femenine football, or that ballet is not femenine because some men practice it.
Now answer, fatso or fit woman?

Judging by the aquila, I don't think that's a good example. However to answer your point it depends on where. If they appear anyway away from an inquistional asset or a modern chapter they are likely going to go unhindered as the majority of the imperium will likely just go:
>oh here are space marines of some bum fuck chapter we never heard of, hopefully they will lend us a hand in our time of need
And then it's a case of the legion trying to not go insane with the sheer amount of cultural/historical whiplash that comes with being in the 41st millenium. However, with their old gear they are going to need to approach a forgeworld and that is going to get nasty very quickly. If it is not a frontier world with little to no communication, with NO OTHER chapters droppong by, the legion might be able to get armaments with some haggling in return for protection or service of the system. But if they carry lost tech, that's going to be reported to other worlds if not outright forced to hand that shit over. This is again assuming it's a frontier forgeworld, because if it wasn't, or if they came across a modern chapter, or any official imperial agents with the ability to check chapter founding records, their fucked. Royally fucked. They are a traitor legion in imperial space with a fully equipped force, the inquistion or imperial army shoot and ask questions later if the admech doesn't turn up and kill them for their tech first. Their only hope is if an inquistor somehow hears them out first, and then take the fucking gamble of the century to take them at their word and try to convince everyone else to not kill them on sight but instead go through the labourus task of intergrating them into a new chapter, cover up their history along with black bagging any witnesses.

The odda are not in their favor to say the least.

>>96567943
This happened before with some lost Luna Wolves who had fucked by a Warp storm before the Chapter had even become the Sons of Horus and came back way later, after the Heresy. Long story short, they all got shuffled into the Deathwatch very quietly.

>>96567943
If they were loyal to the emperor an the ideals of the great crusade they'd probably go to war with the Imperium as much as they would against any other xeno faction or chaos

same thing that happened to the 70 loyalist Death Guard who made it back to Terra during the Heresy.....'whelp you're a Black Shield now.....'

Keep in midn that implicitly Getter Emperor & Getter Dragon (possibly the Getter as a whole) are ALSO Singular Points under Valbhelm's statement. And the entire reason Getter Emperor is trying to summon itself is because the Getter has nominally allied itself with the heroes and other factions out of feeling threatened by Ultima.

He's not a genius: people in his own fleet are smarter than him. But they do not know what they are doing so the insane brave lunatics were in charge and anyone who wanted to use 'tactics' got humiliated into suicide like it's WW2 Japan and someone suggested not kamikaze-ing the enemy and using their guns instead.

And his ideas of things like 'lets not orbital strike any civilian population centres' or 'prisoners of war should not be summarily executed' come across as the behaviour of a saint instead of bottom of the barrel standards. Which reinforces his HERO OF THE FEDERATION reputation.

Geary is also an admiral and as such never leaves his ship or goes near a gun at any point like some kind of silly space hero. Though he does have marines and gets to watch the cameras they have strapped to their heads while trying to stop himself from micromanaging people in combat he isn't trained to know anything about.

All in all, 7/10 for normal scifi, 10/10 if you need complex fleet action literature because i've not read anything that does it better.

Probably similar for same reasons we don't get any naval battles. Expensive, harder to do logistically the grande the scale, and accuracy bores a lot of some people for some reason.

I mean, you can get Star Fleet Battles and (almost) play Harpoon in space if you really want to.
Or AV:T, which tries to simulate 3D on the tabletop.

And for larger-scale naval battles, you can use Armada, Dropfleet Commander plus probably a bunch of others I forget right now.

I've encountered 2 dragons as one AD&D character.
The first was a random encounter because we were near dragon territory, and we noped the fuck out and hid because fuck that shit.

The second, we entered into a fight with, whilst storming the capital city which had been destroyed and ransacked by Githyanki who had made a deal with Tiamat to borrow a dragon.

We fought it for a bit, lost our magic user as a result, and fled into the castle whilst it tore it apart.
We escaped via the sewers and waited for the thing to leave before running for the local dwarven mines.

I am not keen on fighting a dragon.

In some games you get a quest marker to point you the right way. Alternatively you can receive info (notes, dialogue, etc.) which you then use your brain to understand, and then make connections to come to conclusions about possible actions you can take next. So if you're struggling to come up with something to do in your adventures, like a situation where you've no objectives, then you need more info about the game world.

>>96562699

I know exactly what you mean.

I'm fiddling with Gurps right now because of that. The system can be very crunchy, but I got interested after trying a free app called GCS
https://gurpscharactersheet.com

The best part of that app is that it has a library with the digital stats of years of supplements and magazines. I can't believe the author built this.
https://github.com/richardwilkes/gcs_master_library

Gurps generates characters buying everything with points (except disadvantages, which give additional points). And then you have 'templates', which are packages with a set of pre-bought elements, and which are used for fantasy races, backgrounds, occupations, personal interests and anything that could define a character. In the GCS library, there's about 2,000 of them (1,790 exactly, they have the gct extension so you only need to search the number of files with that extension).

To build an NPC or a creature, you just create a new sheet, open the templates you want, and from those templates you drag and drop the packages into the character sheet, and the character sheet updates automatically. You can build a complex NPC in 30 seconds.

I was reading Pathfinder 2e, and came across pic related.

Imagine buying this game for your kid because cool sword fights and magic, and they have to read pic related. Actually, forget kids, I didn't want to read this shit either. I'm just reading a book about sword fights and magic, do you really have to spring scat and rape on me? It feels deranged and insane, but apparently most people love it, claiming "some people really need it."

Am I fucking insane? Is this normal for RPGs now a days?

It did, in lesser extent, and "slave", "serf" and even "servant" were sometimes used interchangeably by contemporary writers and scholars when discussing laborers and servants in Europe. As a concrete example, there were contemporary rumors in the 1500s that Alessandro de' Medici might have been a child of pope Clement VII who he had with a Moorish slave girl from his or his family member's household..

To my disappointment it lacked rules for birthing custom monsters and mass combat last time when I bothered to check it out.
>>
>>96568016
You could probably agree with the GM to use the monster creation rules from the GM section for something. Pretty much no RPG, even ones with an actual budget and developer team instead of one person, does mass combat without it being cumbersome as hell so including it while making sure its functional would be a lot of work for something extremely niche (I can't even remember the last time I actually needed mass combat rules in any game. If there's been a big battle the GM has just focused on the part our characters are involved in and had the rest occur "off-screen").

Am in the process of creating a few Realms of Chaos Warbands for fun.
So far I got Nurgle, Khorne and Tzeentch.
Fortunately not enough Slaaneshi models to make a band.
Will also make Centaur, Beastmen, chaos thugs and Minotaur Warbands and will probably remake the Khorne one.
They are very small, but I want them more to be like a group of adventurers than an army.
Don't know if Tzeentch and Nurgle are overpowered with the lesser demons.

If you take a bee, carry her out into the middle of a lake, and show her a whole bunch of tasty food in the middle of the lake, then let her free, she will fly back to the hive, do a little jig that says "lots of good food, middle of the lake," and all the other bees will ignore her because come on, there's no food in the middle of the lake.
