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.

>>96486950I've only briefly played Palladium games, and the system struck me as clunky as hell, but something about the insanity of Rifts has always been appealing to me. Unfortunately it's hard to really convey this in an appealing way to the uninitiated.How do you do it?
>>96492861>How do you do it?1. Convince them to disregard any preconceived notion about the system, whatever they've read is wrong2. If they're mechanically oriented give them a combat rundown of a SAMAS Vs. Glitter Boy scenario starting at 3km3. If they're roleplay/social oriented explain the CS Dog Boy and ISS-Citizen dynamic.
>>96492861Well you're right, the system IS clunky as hell, but the best way to introduce people is to show them the world (preferably Rifts Earth, but Splicers or Heroes Unlimited is good too) and let them make characters. When they see how many cool options there are to play they'll get invested. The system... use it sparingly and ignore large chunks of it for best effect.
I gotta ask: could big tits count as shields or some technical additional limbs with HP to cripple?
>>96489923That reminds me, which is better for sneaking: Reduce self or Metamorphisis: Animal?
>>96498463According to the Glitter Girl unit, yes.
>>96498518I think Animal because it gives you natural Prowl at a high level. >>96498463I like the way you think, anon, and yes is the answer.
>>96501883Man they dont make album covers like they used to
>>96498521A what?>>96501883All around, so this means I could kill someone with fat tits or a fat ass.Or idk a hip slam
>>96504079>A what?You read that right. Canada has so many glitter boys they straight up made some with titanium tits. 45MDC each, iirc.
>>96492861Get them excited about one specific thing in the setting to get them to not worry about the system until they try it.
>>96497727I HATE the savage rifts interpretation of Juicers. The expressions look like poser art that was traced over and they do not have their juicer harnesses displayed. They are just assholes in normal armor with mohawks. Juicers should be wearing bare armor, proudly showing that they are being drip fed every drug known to man and some that are unknown.
>>96486950Alright rifts bros. My party is all godlings and demigods hybrid classes except me and an anti-monster. The GM is asking if I'm feeling alright being a normal human leyline walker. Personally, I think that being a LLW means that I'm getting as powerful as them with every level but what do you guys think? Is a LLW able to scale up to high power games?
>>96511762>Juicers should be wearing bare armor, proudly showing that they are being drip fed every drug known to man and some that are unknown.Preach on, brother.
>>96518529Borgs should look ludicrously overpowered as well. MEGA-POWER!!!
>>96513985Doubtful a LLW would ever reach a Demigod's power level unless your GM gave you access to all spells and let you cheese the interpretations of some of them. You can stack some combos from rare spells that are overpowered as Dyval.
>>96518554I didn't like how they tried to push the kinda vampire skull face as the iconic combat cyborg design. Really, I dont know how the path of the cyborg goes in Rifts. Like, what's the essential books for that?>>96518567He is letting me off easy. Whether intentional or not he is letting me write in any invocation spell and not pushing the half day per level of spell training time to learn it.
>>96518529>>96518554>juicer and cyborg have a flex off>Crazy with a brush taped to his head and a muscle suit jumps in.
>>96518529>>96518554>>96518567man ai is fucking insane nowadays
>>96520328>what's the essential books for that?There are a ton of Borg options, new classes, weapons, and other stuff in Rifts Canada. Many of the robot/ai construction options in Sourcebook 1 can also be used on Borgs.
Tell me of any adventures you had in phaseworld
>>96486950Cool settingShit rulesTerrible company (lookin at YOU, Kev)
>>96525525Never been, but thought about going to Center... except it sounds like a very generic cosmopolitan space opera city. Is there anywhere more interesting than that in the Three Galaxies? I only know the basic lore that an adventurer on Rifts Earth would know .
>>96520704Speaking does this look like a crazy and good to you? I'm trying to learn inpainting and boy am I learning the hard way.
>>96488436Damn what a classic!
>>96526586I was thinking Krang before I clicked it but yeah, that looks like a Crazy to me, albeit a cool 90's comic style interpretation
>>96526586Looks more like a clown supervillain than a Crazy to me, but ofc Crazies can look like pretty much anything weird, there's no real standard. I'd give him some more obvious armor though. He's going adventuring, not joining the circus.
>>96506589Which book is this in?
>>96525967Ah, Center.....the Mos Eisley of the Megaverse.
>>96530192That is a Glitter Girl from Free Quebec.
>>96530192>>96530428The one thing the North American Frogs do well is Glitter Boys & Girls.
>>96528429>Looks more like a clown supervillain than a Crazy to meWell its suppose to be >>96520394. I was just having trouble genning it.But you bring up the point of what is the difference? Look at any official art of a crazy and see if it doesn't have an expression that can only indicate they have an erection from the violence they are witnessing.
I keep looking at the cyberknight and I just can't see how this is high powered at all. Like, it's like a juicer, a psychic, and has some rather janky armor. It doesn't seem like it can walk into a room full of equipped man at arms and walk out in one piece.
>>96532924Cyber-knight isn't high-powered, it's mid at best. This has been a debate among fans of the game since the 1990s and has never been corrected. We had this debate a few threads back, and the consensus was that CKs definitely need some powering-up to be on par with other major combat OCCs. Their psi-swords and armor needs to scale up more and their psi powers need to work against demons, undead and monsters and not just "electronics".Somebody here had a rework of the CK, if only I could find it...
>>96486950>jacks prices up on books>oh shit nothing is selling>multiple humble bundles blasted out>september sale 35%-50% off deadtreethese palladium & rifts guys are nothing if not a barrel of laughs
>>96532924What it really comes down to is that as a CK, you are part of a Brotherhood of Knights, sort of like the BoS from the oldscool FO.Which in PA North America, is worth far more than the statistics afforded to you by your OCC.
>>96537627>september sale 35%-50% off deadtreeI haven't heard of that site and would like to know more.
>>96537667So their secret power is nepotism?
>>96539310So their secret power is nepotism?Not sure what you mean by this, the power is listed in the OCC write out.
>>96539310Kek. NTA but no, their secret superpower is Reputation, as trustworthy, good knights of human resurgence and anti-evil power. In the lore, notice how this compares to how mages, psychics, juicers, crazies and d-bees are treated in most communities. Palladium does not have mechanics for reputation but cyber-knights are paragons of virtue like no other class or race.
Cyber-knights should have been the anti-demon, anti-undead, anti-monster champions of humanity.
>>96486950Where were you when Tolkeen struck back?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQR0tA7xXUA
>>96513985A llw versus a dimiegod....really depends on the class of the dimiegod, over all youll be similar again depending on your raceBut a godling? A godling caster takes 2 caster classes, so shifter +warlock, or temporal wizard+ necromancer...ect.The power dynamic of a llw is dwarfed by a godling caster, unless your llw's race is very powerful or utility filled. If its a godling combat class non magical an anti-monster is pretty close in power range.
>>96525694Perfectly fine company. Company sucks massively on realistic time frames for kick starters sure....but its a nearly 40 year old gaming company still spitting out kino product, still putting good looking female characters, still admitting slavery exists in pre industrial society Cry more about your failed kick starter though
>>96544379Yay, anti-woke company still existing, what a power flex. No, really, I'm happy Palladium still exists, but it's a tiny niche of niche product company. If it died tmrw I don't think anyone would notice.
>>96506589BeautifulJust beautiful. It would take a fucking superhuman punch to cripple those things.Now I got a crazy ass idea: if I constructed a machine that runs on leylines and portal energy in general, I would be constructing a full on GetterRobo/Gurren Lagann type thingLet’s see anybody try shit when I my robot has reached critical energy absorption and get shredded to nothing
>>96544379anti woke is as retarded as wokebecause it is an adstop getting brainwashed by 0 effort marketing also the brick that guy is holding looks like furniture more than a weaponiv seen couch cushions more ergonomic than the pump on that disasterpeice
>>96532924play a furry with half inch claws that deal mega damage
is the Blood War, err, I mean the Minion War metaplot over yet? What should the next big metaplot be? I vote for the Vampire Intelligences making their move in a coordinated fashion. Vampire Kingdoms invading North America, secret vampires assassinating and taking over key positions in the NGR and CS, and maybe taking down Lazlo cause those goodie-two-shoes are weak and too trusting.
>>96539324I was poking fun at that cyberknights seem to be connected to every major organization but aren't that strong in combat as their reputation makes them sound. So being a part of the elite order that is in every major group outside of the CS or maybe Canada. So they have the power of nepotism. You want to slap Erin Tarn's fat granny ass you can give uncle Thomm a call and do the secret cyberknight handshake and there you go!>>96542915I agreed. Im surprised Kev never reconnect that in.
>>96548201What was the minion war, anyway? I mean I get why it happened and what caused it but as I understand it in execution it was just a campaign based around the paranoia that any random person could suddenly become a demon person.
>>96545148You say that but Kev is anti woke and Sean is woke but pretends not to be when Kev is around. I think there are people who will say whatever you want to hear to get you to buy their products, for sure.
>>96545183So that's>Mexican were panthers>space Wulfen>several different kinds of aliens and DVees>biomancers with the right spells>bioborgs if the head came out kinda furryish>The dinosaur race>cyborgs that cant contain their fetish
>>96545148I wouldn't call them anti-woke, more not woke, they dont intentionally egg on the woke or anti
What other dimensions have anons travelled to in their games? Is rifting a regular or rare occurence for you?
>>96554485I tend not to if im gm'ing unless it's the whole premise of the campaign. It basically removes the storyline you wrote as its not on this plane of existence. Players tend to forget why they should care about the barron was torturing the tows folk when he's nonexistent where they are. I have done Wormwood a few times but Wormwood characters loose their symbionic powers, their stones loose out, in like 2 days away from Wormwood. An apoc becomes a moody dude with a sword instead of a combat monster on earth.
>>96555047Those are good points but it is possible to plan an adventure around multiple dimensions with the NPCs/villains/enemy forces also traversing dimensions through rifts. Maybe different rifts, or they also have a Shifter or LLW who works for them. It does derail an existing campaign but that can be fun (for a short period of time) and shake things up in a game that's gotten stale or predictable or when the PCs are stumped or out of options. I've had PCs pop into Wormwood, Eyelor, a synaesthesia universe, a Nighspawn dark place, the Plane of Earth, and rift to random locations in Africa, the Gargoyle Empire, Lone Star, Dinosaur Swamp, the Library of Bletherad, and more.
Do you play for money or rep or revenge?
>>96557680Depends on my class>men at arms: Money>Men of Magic: Maaaagic. Which I suppose is a form of rep>If the OCC has a code of honor: Situations where I deliberately can use my code of honor to burden the group.
>>96551343My players will be meeting some of these cuties soon.
>>96557765You're siccing splicers on them?! Did you know that the grub cannon has no language against living targets?>The creature shoots a peanut sized projectile and hits you on your chest armor. Turn over. Next turn! Player, you feel like something is grazing your chest with a sharp knife.>You look down to see the ass-end of the largest maggot you've seen since you headbutted that starfish guy. and this maggot is squiggling wildly.>You hit in the head, you get point blank shot another giant maggot furiously gnawing on your face screen trying to get through.What would be the horror check on that?
>>96560027HF of at least 14, I think. That's some nasty stuff. But no I wasn't intending to throw Splicer borgs at them, it was more a reference to the Werepanthers. Probably the wrong pic for it.... oh, here is what I actually meant to post.
Ever been "assaulted" by a pack of Altaran BWWs?
>>96543251Terrible song but neat that ai can do that now.
>>96506589>MDC Armor booba>>96562853>Supernatural MD booba
>>96486950any good actualplays of rifts?alot of the old ytrpg brigade rifts content seems to have either been privated or the channels are just gone.
>>96566961Good 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.
Looks like the TMNT re-release from kickstarter is on track to ship in November. For once Palladium got their stuff out on time.
>>96569487If only these were good games.
>>96571008Yeah, the rpg doesn't quite capture the more action oriented martial arts you saw in the 2k series onward, if that can be done.
I've been thinking a lot about Lazlo and what would be in it's own book. I think new spells probably would be expected but I don't know what they would be. I think they would likely have a TW robot force that is reconstructed scrap power armors like a cross between New West TW power armors and Federation of Magic constructs or the Iron Giants from Tolkien.If I was writing I would have a horrible secret involving the government officially not condoning necromancy that uses sentient creature corpses but using something that runs on human souls, like a percentage of their defense force is animated wood puppets running on human souls. The political bits would be complicated as they already established there are several different parties ranging from Warhawks to peaceniks to human supremist parties, to a dragon supremist party. And of more militant and aggressive New Lazlo wanting to punish the CS which I think is a thing you could write how they are being secretly supported by some Lazlo factions that want to kill skullboys with deniability.
>>96573039I bet the Feng Shui RPG could do it. >>96573234>The political bits would be complicated as they already established there are several different parties ranging from Warhawks to peaceniks to human supremist parties, to a dragon supremist party.Those are from that Rifter article about Lazlo, aren't they? I doubt they used that as the baseline, it's probably non-canon.But it would make sense to have different political factions with secret agendas and sometimes even illegal militias or plots to "Get those bad guys". Otherwise Lazlo ends up too boring. Even the Rifts: Promise of Power video game had to spice things up in Lazlo with the Cabal.
>>96573234>do NOT studio ghibli Rifts
>>96575250>Those are from that Rifter article about Lazlo, aren't they? I doubt they used that as the baseline, it's probably non-canon.I'm expecting Kev to reprint it into the Lazlo book. Its mostly fluff, and also says DBee prostitution is legal.>>96576153I genned it specifically because I think if there was anything sort of group to do the ghibli, it would be Lazlo or Castle Refuge. Its the hippie hippie goody goody capital of Rifts Earth, emphasis on the hippie.
>>96576685>>96575250More on that the evil factions, Lazlo does have the church fo Dragonwright which is the same as the one in Atlantis. The dragon supremist faction wants to not acknowledge their connection to atlantis on account of a large amount Atlantis escapees in Lazlo. So you would have this complicated relationship with dragons being both having tried to destroy Lazlo but alo saved Lazlo and now help run lazlo but also wants to take over lazlo.
>>96573234>>96576685True, Lazlo would be best for Ghibli. Got any more?
>>96576838So dragons are jews in this story? Yes, that gets complicated.
>>96576839I can whip some out>Battle Magus, Dwemoer City. Kind of came out looking more like a cyber knight.
>>96578295>>96576839Erin tarn, girl, in Lazlo nook.
>>96578326Erin tarn in Lazlo when I bracket that shit.
>>96578295>>96578326>>96578342Never thought I'd see Rifts in Studio Ghibli style but for Lazlo it kind of works. Thanks for postan, anon.
>>96579044True. I'll ruin it by posting more.Here I have what I think the Lazlo grunt is equipped with. Unlike the CS and Canuckistan, Lazlo doesn't produce normal arms but a lot of TW items. So troops are equipped with bulk purchased NG armor and arms with heavy encouragement to bring your own equipment if it's better than the GI.Troops are, however, issued an animated TW construct for combat and logistical support and TW items to supplement their MOS. The idea is that since Lazlo couldn't support their troops like the CS factions they would support them in ways the CS couldn't as in every soldier having a dedicated servant.Lastly the gay color patterns. I imagine the armor will be whatever they can find but the colors of Lazlo will likely be the most colorful and loudest emblems purely because they are a multicultural society to the most extreme sense and the ugliest option would be the only thing they would agree on, thus every Lazlo defender has a strip louder than a gunshot and fabulous.
>>96579546Here we have a veteran in crusader armor. A better example of the Lazlo Stripes.As explained in the rifters, there are a lot of non magical humans in the Lazlo military alot of which were veterans, defectors, or refugees from other militaries. Joining the defense forces help some vets cope with the cultural shock of joining a society where DBees aren't shot on sight and the government wanting their input and at no point sending them to jail forever.
I think a cool campaign idea to use for a more malignant Great House in Splicers is that they have a few unique "Loadouts" of Host Armor (They can be built like a normal suit, but they come with some stuff baked in) that they can Field in much larger numbers than one would expect, but they also never use Biotics.I think you can guess exactly what they're doing.
>>96581537>I think you can guess exactly what they're doing.Fucking and impregnating their host armors?
>>96579546>the most colorful and loudest emblemsImagine getting decimated in battle by the Lazlo Glowing Gay Furry D-bee brigade.
>>96581629No.The Librarian at the head of the Great House has gone full Megalo and decided to use people that would normally be turned into Biotics as raw materiel to construct Host Armor.
Would you trust a random Ley Line Walker who offered to transport your party to anywhere in Rifts North America for $100K, anywhere on Rifts Earth for $500K and to any other dimension for $1M?
>>96582374So, what is the situation there? Is the librarian have such a large population of humans or has a large prisoner population that he has to make them into host armors? Because host armors need a pilot.If he just needed soldiers the Librarian could just put out gorehounds, who are pound off pound as strong as a biotic.
>>96583429Is that per person or for the whole group? Because that sounds like a good deal!
>>96584809Per group, up to 4 people of max 500 lbs each. And there's only a small chance she'll take you to the wrong place or the slave markets of Atlantis.
>>96486950Looking forward to the upcoming 2026 revised update to RUE.Good to see Sean bringing some of his changes to the core RIFTS book
>>96588635>2026 revised update to RUEHave you heard something legit or are you just trolling? If the former, please share.
Okay but WHY did they change the emperor's name from Tromm to Prosek?
>>96590499Tromm sounded too much like Thom. You know, Thom from Baker St? The one with all the good beers? Yeah, he's alright. Helped Mike to move after the divorce. A real mensch. But not exactly Emperor material, sorry to say.
>>96587932>max 500 lbs each.Can Titan Juicers or cyborgs buy two tickets?
>>96588635>The mustache has changed heads. The takeover is complete.
>>96588635Remember, you can always just stick to the 1990s printing of the RIFTS corebook and avoid all the changes
Hey Palladium Fantasy fans, what's a good PF book to read to get some of the lore of the setting? I don't know much about the setting and don't have time to read all the books.
>>96591945I think that's a big drawback to thettrpge genre. Re-released or new editions are competing with the previous editions.
>>96592912I think I've learned about the setting the wrong way by reading gods and dragons and western empire.
What is some good stuff to buy from Naruni? Besides the forcefields, I mean.
Why are line walkers always bandaged up?
>>96596140*beep boop*
>>96591720Yeah, that's fine, hop on. There's only a 4.8% chance the increased weight will shift our dimensional arc 2 degrees Hades-ward.
>>96491568smash my balls
>>96598560Personally I always assumed it's because of a cross between cultural influence of paladium fantasy and that many gods of magic are from eastern based cultures and that MDC class materials are not easy to tailor or are often found in scraps.Keep in mind LLWs wear -natural- MDC material. That means that we are talking on SDC worlds they are 100x SDC. So we are talking like mutant spider silk that literally could stop a truck at full speed. dragon scales when that dragon eats nothing but steel. The one spot of skin on a hyborean boar's ass that can stop a 50mm bullet. None of this stuff is coming in strips that you can cut pants out of, so it's going to be in strips and sewn together with more superthread from killer zombie lambs from that dimension where New Zealand took over the world. You dye it the same colors and bust out the bedazzle gun so your outfit doesn't look like something between leather face and a pajama frankenstein.At least that's my take.
Legion of Myth found the song making AI!https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7EtdhpcaaJVZLb7clNXPOPCe8CX9GT0l&si=idb0NQQKwium2i-ehttps://youtu.be/SF5nFnbdoyQ?si=P5JRZOEPNTXyQ47g
>>96609951 Forgot to add, its weird to not listen parody music that isnt rife with racial slurs. Also that xicitic song was all wrong.
>>96609951This is so impressively... bad! Off-key with the worst lyrics imaginable. >name the hives>resin war time>loons cry once>on the frozen dark>smear the stoneLike, it really takes work and effort to write something this awful!
>>96611462Its clearly not their forte. Folk traditional? For Rifts? Here is a half ass attempt of my own at better lyrics>genre: thrash>AAAAAHAAAAAAAHHHHHHH >THESE BUGS ARE UP MY ASS! (RIGHT UP MY ASS!)>THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD BY FALL!>IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE SO FAST!>WE HIT THE FUCKING WALLL (A FUCKING BEE WALL!)>AAAAAAAAHH! ANTS IN MY EYES!>PROSEK FUCKING LIES>THEY EAT AT OUR BONES>COVERED IN PHERE-MONES>WE ONLY WON ONE WAR>NOW WERE TOO FUCKING POOR!>GUESS OUR WIN WAS A FLUKE>CHICAGO'S NAZI VIETNAM DYING IN BUG PUKE!
>>96611933Well played, anon. Bravo.
>>96612074I didn't even read the book. I just know some enemy descriptions and how other players describe the situation. Also that when they get in the shit Canada, CS and Lazlo will work together to fight the bugs off, or atl east defy usual orders and not attack eachother.
>>96606478>superthread from killer zombie lambs from that dimension where New Zealand took over the worldI think I understand the reference. Your explanation is good, I like it. It's piecemeal armor made from MDC pieces of natural animals/plants/thing found in different dimensions and worlds.
>>96597875IIRC a lot of their weapons are miniaturised so perfect for stealth/ninja missions, like getting into Chi-Town core without being flagged. The Naruni also have links to the Genesplicers who have all kinds of weird mutant-genetic shit.
>>96615709Its not so much of dumpster diving as it is lifehacks. You could make a suit of all natural MDC armor out of dinosaur hide but it both would have less MDC comparable to its weight and comes with a penalty because of its hardness and bulk.LLW armor is the best bits all sewn together from several sources. Although, it does make you wonder how much that costs off the rack.
Are dragons big players in the Rifts world? I got the distinct impression that they're not, they're just kind of hanging around doing low-level stuff and have representation on Atlantis but not big empire, kingdom or power base of any kind. Always wondered why Kevin made them RCCs in the core book when they're so niche.
>>96513985Youre better off going TW & getting crazy with shenanigans that make you an immortal overpowered dude who tinkered himself to godhood
>>96539310Their secret power is Embezzlement!
>>96548201Republicans taking center stage.
>>96551303A bunch of Hellmouths opened up on Earth & now demons & dyyvals are killing each other with humanity between them.
>>96597875Thermo-Kinetic Armor. Take half damage from a rail gun
>>96627461>Check under his cape. Like camels that's where they store their stolen gold.>... I don't think you know what a camel is.
>>96627890Everyone wants to know why the CyberKnights dont get more of a focus & thats the real answer. The guy who was the driving force behind them fucked Kev over & isnt part of Palladium anymore. So while he isnt about to remove them from the setting, I can see why he doesnt mess with them. Now we have demonslaying CS psychics
>>96629253Such a shame that Lord Coake was really Lord Cokehead. Cyber-Knights need to get around a table, decide to go on a grill quest, and redeem themselves as champions of humanity or die trying.
>>96618629The MDC wood spell takes away a lot of the worry for MDC protection in my opinion. You can shape wood pretty easily, maybe even easier than manufactured MDC materials & with the right magic magic its even better. The real reason LLW are all mismatched & weird is simply becomes looking like a bug/demon/monster is safer. Its like hazard stripes or a spiked leather jacket. It looks cool & dangerous & makes the other guy hesitate. Also when youre going into weird dimensions you might want full body coverage against stuff that can melt your face
>>96623909Thinking about it, dragons are the other to cyberknights. They formed and run Lazlo, they are in Atlantis, the are in Phaseworld, but they all hate eachother and are not organized. Still, they are somewhere in the background of every mystic or alien organization in the megaverse. No never-ending they have humanoid sub species (allegedly).It is pretty noteworthy that Rifts earth is where they have the most collectly organized foothold with the Dragonwright Church.
>>96627488>Sea to shining sea>prepare your ass for the Mark Three!
>>96633670Is the Church of Dragonwright a serious thing? It's like Scientology or Wiccans; a tiny little cult that everyone laughs at.
>>96633702Speaking of obscure glitterboys, this power armor isnt in the fleets of the three galaxies book. Is it like splicers where they have art for things that aren't in the book?
>>96634602That's the Silverhawk. Look in Phaseworld
>>96634633Ah, there it is. Thanks.
>>96633702I want more info on the Republicans so fucking bad. I want to see Republican mages too since they should be fine with it. Not only do you have the Republicans heavily influencing the early CS (which used to have mages) but im sure the Republicans help the Vanguard a bunch.
>>96637937They're all a bunch of unfrozen Boomers from Golden Age America. There's no way they'd sanction mages except in secret, unacknowledged spec ops units. They want the old American Empire back, not some magical disneyland with froo-froo magic users and demon-summoning lunatics. Also, they'd as old as your grandpa and probably don't even know which button to push to cast a spell. All they would get on their scrying orbs would be FoxGirl News.
>>96638260No, they are the secret kingmaker of humanity. Their the ones who gave GB tech to the Canucks, their the ones who merced Dunscon's dad & let papa Prosek take the credit. They founded the CS & when they did, they were okay with the mage corps. Im not saying they'd be okay with demons & D-Bees & shit, but very sterile very guarded allowance of mages much like the Psychics of the CS would be fine with them
>>96638319Bah, I hate "secret society responsible for everthing that happened, ever" metaplots. Far better to play the Republicans as bumbling bureaucrats from 2089 AD Department of Cloning & Lunar Transportation who just happened to inherit a couple hundred security power armors and are all that remains of the Washington DC establishment after the Coming of the Rifts. It's a lot funner and funnier that way.
