RIFTS: Looking for players

Hey there forumgoers, I'm looking for some players for a Sunday game I'll be GMing in about a week or so. Estimated schedule is around 3:00PM EST weekly on sundays, but probably a bit later in the day. I'm looking for a good 3-4 players that can consistently make it, so flighty fellows need not apply. Here's the character creation guidelines I've set up to create a more balanced party. Balance does not mean Equality. As such, I've gathered a small list of available OCCs, races, and gear on the same power level that the party can be made from, so no glitterboys for you, sorry! OCCUPATIONAL CHARACTER CLASSES Men at Arms Headhunter Grunt Military Specialist Technical Officer Cyber-Knight Scholars & Adventurers Body Fixer City Rat Cyber Doc Operator Rogue Scientist Rogue Scholar Wilderness Scout Vagabond Practitioners of Magic Ley-Line Walker Mystic Shifter Techno-Wizard RACES AND R.C.C.S Human Elf Dwarf Dogpack Psi-Stalker STARTING GEAR GUIDELINES 1 SDC weapon of your choice. As far as firearms go, only pistols, revolvers, and shotguns are allowed. Time to crack out those old crossbows and spears. No armor to start out with Whatever else your OCC calls for. Ignore Energy Weapons. For example, the Technical officer would start off with his three grenades as usual, as well as his pocket computer, uniform, extra non-energy weapon, and so on.
It'd probably take me a couple weeks to brush up on my RIFTS knowledge (haven't played in like 10 years) but I'd love to join if you still have a spot available in a couple weeks (I might ask about a couple OCCs you haven't listed, so feel free to say STFU if i get on your nerves :D
ok many questions to this one. 1) lack of psionic RCC's i noticed? 2) what time period (if following cannon) 3) are you looking for an organization based group? eg from a kingdom or a collection of "free peoples"? 4) are you following the world books? if so where in the world are you starting players? 5) if you are not following the books and creating your own world some more info would be good :D 6) what level are you looking at starting people? 7 what day of the week? I look forward to the answers :D
Oh whoops, I guess I forgot to add the day haha. I'd put it everywhere but this post. The day I'm aiming for is Sunday. @Josh There are still quite a few open slots, so far only one has been confirmed, so the both of you could join in if you can make it. Honestly, if you ask me about a specific OCC or RCC that's on par with the others, I'll allow it. @Angelous I skipped psionics on the starter class list because I was only looking at the main book, and from what I saw - Bursters and Mind-melters were the only ones among them, both having either MDC or Super-Psionics at their disposal at level 1. I'm going for a more low-power start and work the party up to MDC, rather than letting that can of worms loose from the get-go. Of course, this being the world of Rifts, all of the classes are technically available in the world, so you could perhaps unlock the potential of Psionics or power armor or what-have-you. If your character either has psionic abilities or you find a psionic RCC that fits the power level of the other OCCs here, I'd be cool with you having that. The game will be set around 105 PA: As a group of ex-Coalition Refugees in the Kingdom of Columbia in South America.
If someone played a cyber knight, would you take away the psi sword if there is no MD? Just curious since this is one of my favorite classes to play. Also, how do spells work if there is no MDC? Armor of Ithan in particular. I guess I would be interested in playing a cyber knight if it isn't nerfed too bad, Sundays work well for me. I don't mind the idea of a low powered game, but I am wondering how you will separate MDC from Rifts, since it is kind of an inherent part of the system...
Trouble is with rifts is that MDC permeates everything to do with Rifts Earth, i can probably count on 1 hand suits of armour that are SDC and probably twice that in firearms that aren't energy weapons. Unfortunately it is impossible for me to make Sundays as i run a campaign already on roll20 so i will wish your game well and keep an eye out in the future.
Cyberknight code states Psi-swords can't be used on SDC creatures or people, so that deals with itself. I don't intend to remove MDC from the Rifts world, and you'll likely have to face MDC creatures pretty early on. You'll face a bit of obstacles you might not be able to overcome by charging head-first into combat. You'll have to earn, steal, or create your own MDC equipment, and ultimately become those hyper-powered rail-gun-wielding superheroes. It's still good ol' Rifts, don't worry, just with an extra bit of obstacles to start.
Have you posted over on the palladium forums? They have their own chatrooms that are pretty flaky to run games on, but they have forums you can recruit for a roll20 game on as well. Seems like there would be lots of players over there that may / may not know about roll20 and be interested in playing.
Hey dude, sorry about the delay in getting back to you. new to roll20 and I didn't know you have to manually follow threads you post on. the OCC I wanted to play is Stonemaster from RIFTS: Atlantis. They are SDC by nature so I think it would fit well into your group idea. Let me know what you think and if you approve I'll have a character made for next weekend
If the Stonemaster class is out I'll make a technomancer if it is still available
Im interested in playing greatly. Played many different RIFTS characters over the years, ( everything from an Atlantean Undead Slayer to a Technician) and would love to play again. Able to make a character up quickly if you are playing today. message me with a PM, ill be checking
oh I miss Rifts games.
