Palladuim/Rifts? Anyone?

1450230787

Edited 1450230882
just got back into the palladium megaverse and was wondering if anyone here was looking for a palladium group? Limitations of the group: No mega heroes. besides that its free, if you want to play a robotech char in the game ill convert him and sure, want to play an after the bomb mutant, sure, magi from fantasy, sure, etc. hoping i can find an online group too play with. The game will be played through Pen and Paper and any Voice Chat that you have as it leaves more diversity and options for play-style etc( you cant crash 12 floors down a nearby building easily in roll20)
Been tinkering with the idea of running a Palladium game myself.  If this take off, I will give it a go.
I could Depending on day. first of all, what theme should be the game? wandering adventurer? mercs for hire (For the decent sorts ala the A-Team), do we play folks who want to build something in the world of rifts, like our own town/city? what about world setting? rifts earth? robotech earth with rifts characters? if rifts earth, what part of the world? I like new west, england (not for whats there but wht you can add to it (Rifts game o'thrones folks?) &nbsp;South America (this may require nerfing as per the GMs guide to balance right), or chaos earth folks who have been in cold storage, like the marrow project game (only..... more gonzo, being rifts: for info on the jist of that look here <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morrow_Project" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morrow_Project</a>)

wandering adventurer i believe, gives the option to travel the world fairly easily if need be, as for settings i was thinking a coalition war-like wastelands, with parts of the world still thriving and unaffected by the war, such as per say china, japan, atlantis, perhaps somewhere off to the edge of north america(free quebec or canada perhaps) and small highly profiting regions around the world, giving easy resupplys and great high yeild areas, however at great expense, so like little power pockets, as one travels the warring regions. in that regard its kinda like chaos earth for the fast majority of the world, with small profiting pockets, yet with many poor areas for much underground and black market trade in certain regions(china would not be ALL of china profiting, just certain provinces). In this regard it may very well be like mercs for hire, as when one travels to a new country they may need a source of income etc(perhaps). As for one setting, i dont think i will stick too one country as that limits the technologies and campaigns too much, but more as travel to different countries as need for different supply or weaponry increase. the reason for your adventure is up too the characters backgrounds, one may be seeking profits or power, as another may have come from the slums, thus perhaps causing conflict as the campaigns arise(up to the players, and determined by the characters alignment and back story, and what follows from good role playing of that char. e.g. a prideful power hungry selfish, motivated by power, character may cause a rift between the character as he gains that power and starts acheving his goals... however this is in the nature of role playing a character, so ill leave this up to how the playersprogresses). as for robotech is concerned, unless we are playing for a VERY long time and get a spaceship and travel to other alien planets, i dont belive robotech will come in, exept for certain weapons/mechs for any robot characters in the game(perhaps alien civilizations on earth have some robotechish weaponry?. also, you may start off with a robotech mech if youd like, however make a story on how some country developed it as an independent machine for that particular country, unless alien bla bla)

note on creating characters: you may create your character fom any palladium book you would like, however be smart and reasonable and also no mega-heroes. eg. you want to build a robot. robots start with max 13 or 18 million dollars/credits(heroes unlimited 2nd ed vs rifts sourcebook 1), so he may not start with a robot worth aproximatly more money then you rolled under robot creation(cant start with a 150 mill credit robot). also unless your character is say atlantian, he my not start with an atalantian robot or weapons if he is from canada etc. oterwise there are no liits to any character creation, all oocs other then severly overpowered oocs are allowed, and if you decide too make a hero from heroes unlimite if thd, i will change him to m.d.( i may allow mega-heroes/immortals etc if the mdc conversion works ) rolling a character is up too the players discresion. howerver standard rules apply, you may re-roll a character as many times as you would like, however if you roll 80% of the way and your happy, and you roll somthing you dont like, you have to reroll the ENTIRE character, or stick with it( thus making the perfectly rolled character almost impossible, and thus if i see a perfect char i will have you most likely re-roll it or edit its stats). stat rolls(i.q. etc) are rolled 4d6(little thing i picked up from a great palladium forum, thus making terrible stats very difficult, like all stats being 5-12 XD), removing the lowest roll, and the same rolling 16,17, or 18 allows you to roll another die, and if its a 6 another die, etc etc, standard stu you may pick any dice app you would like, however let me know whats its called so i can look it up and make sure its proper, for mac users i found dicy is the nicest and most realistic rolling software,&nbsp; with the best most enjoyable rolls that seem real and not rolling 13, 5 stats in a row XD. it was dificult to find the program online so here is a link to where i got it: <a href="http://en.freedownloadmanager.org/Mac-OS/Dicy-FREE.html" rel="nofollow">http://en.freedownloadmanager.org/Mac-OS/Dicy-FREE.html</a> or look it up on google
kk. personally i use <a href="http://www.catchyourhare.com/diceroller/" rel="nofollow">http://www.catchyourhare.com/diceroller/</a> &nbsp; one good question, you said we'll wander around a bit, what if the PCs, at a point some time want to settle some where...... build a power base..... and such?

Edited 1450298565
i would have no problems with this. also if at any point you even have enough money build a base of your own anywhere, farbeit from me to say no, i may make a mini campaign, or put it into the games time stream of the base building, or even an anti base building group( canada doest like you putting up a base in their land) ps that page looks great
No problem.. it should work for mac users
btw checheck your private messages hes here tao.b
alright we have one player in adition to myself set up

So you're looking for a GM?
This sounds interesting As i have several games already, when would this one run?
if you would like to volunteer sure! i was going to gm, and i dont have any doubts in my abilities as a writer, however its my first palladium game, so i was going to start off with some premade stories to get the game going, and then begin some created ones, however if you would like to gm i see no issue with that

im trying to run this one asap(aka within the next few days), however whenever you guys have free time let me know, im free always
Tuesday Evenings and Sunday afternoons (before 8pm Est) would be the most apropriate times for me and can we import character with some experiance (Lvl 3-5) if not i can easyly roll them back to earlyer levels
1450308435

Edited 1450308451

Oh, no, sorry, I wasn't looking to GM, I don't have the time to devote to doing so. I was more interested in playing.
Im interested too, had a few groups I played with at comic stores where they had over 10 players and nothing got resolved.&nbsp; Or arguing with simple decisions like how to handle a conflict with the same people say "kill and loot" when we were "heroes" and threats of physical violence when ignoring their suggestions.&nbsp; So as long as this doesnt happen Im game.
sure no problem, join the skpe group, however we are starting tomorrow aftenood and on sunday afternoons/nights, you may want to roll your char soon :P

and no, we dont make rules, if your an evil character, and you kill somebody, the characters may shy away from you, however person to person no one will care. just enjoy your char and have fun is all that matters
bump
Game starting in 6h
bump, we started the first day, however feel free to join in

playerwise, we have a sword summoner mage(honestly im still not quite sure exactly what class it is), 2 Robots, and a hardware, and a potential Psi-Knight. We Play in Fridays after 5PST/8EST(i live in the latter) and Sundays same time. theres another game going where we have a pre-cataclyst scientist with a shotgun, a Spirit Host/or a Chiang-Ku Hatchling(not decided), and 2 other players, undecided as far as i know, which has not been started, starting in colorado new west, and we play on Wednesdays and potentially another day, at about the same time. The first one has only been started one day due too no one having been prepared, and its pretty new, not much has happened besides dialogue and a capture of a broken down GB. Its starting in Old Bones Quebec.

Friday/Sunday doesnt work for me, I have a RL game on Friday, roll20 game on Sunday. &nbsp; &nbsp; Im okay with the Wednesday group though, as at this time I have nothing then. &nbsp;You okay with a Slurmph Mystic Knght (order of the white rose) - D-Bee from D-Bees of North America.. Basicaly Imagine Patrick as a slug , or Earl from Toejam and Earl games. &nbsp; Used to play one as a Techno-mage, but that campaign the GM just stopped showing for some reason. &nbsp; So figure Ill try one as a mystic knight... &nbsp;Oh, and I use&nbsp;<a href="http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm</a> for rolling dice.
XD
ps, roll the wensday too lv 6, its what we decided to start as

Edited 1450980402
and no problem, i hate r20 rolls anyways often
I meant for stat generation. you wanted a site listed for what we used to make the character.
ah, well the site is awesome, however use whatever you want, im indifferent(i still use dicy for stats)
ill invite you too the new game
How much starting equipment should we take then or extra credits to buy it since it obviously we've been adventuring awhile before level 6
id say, roll standard, if you roll below 10000, multiply it by 100, if you roll over 10000, multiply it by 50, buy anything with the money you got, and any mounts/mechs/body armors divide the cost by 3
