I didn't really get a strong response in the GM advice thread, so I thought I'd ask here -



1. What would be a basic outline for a oneshot of Rifts? I'm still not really sure what you should do with the setting. I'm thinking something simple like:

"You're on the outskirts of a Coalition outpost. There is a MacGuffin inside. Get in, take it, and get out. No restrictions on collateral damage"




2. What kind of opposition would be appropriate for a group of starting characters? It seems like most characters would have access to MDC weapons, so I was thinking like a dozen Coalition Grunts in the Dead Boy armor scattered across the outpost. But then someone just might take a Glitter Boy and blow up everything from a mile away, or does it not work like that?




3. Are there any restrictions or guidelines you'd place on character creation? I'd like to keep the rolling mechanics for stat generation, but then allowing people to assign rolls to the stats rather than in order, and maybe if they want to have a particular class, to increase any lacking stats to the minimum.

Are there any classes that I should consider "banning", or at least keeping an eye out for with regards to the larger group composition? I mean, Vagabonds seem like they'd be a joke class to throw in alongside everyone else.
