theironjef posted:One of my all-time favorite things about Rifts was how Simbieda basically just assumed that the only stuff that would survive the apocalypse to get into the hands of TK Wizards was the cool stuff. DeLoreans? Sure, take 'em! P-51 Mustangs? There's about 180 flying ones in the world(a lot in California, which is destroyed), but I'm sure that all of them will survive the end times, why the hell not? I'd love to tell you that that's why they showed up in the Rifts books... but sadly, it's only because it was easier to copy and paste the equipment section from modern-day Palladium games in there than it was to write up all new items.

FMguru posted:It's pretty much the weird wild west magical steampunk setting that Deadlands tried (and tried, and tried, and tried) and failed to be. One of my favorite supplements for any game. So much legendary Americana, crammed into a single book. I can't imagine how bad Canada ends up being, though. No RPG in the entirety of history has ever handled Canada well.

I'm running scans of my physical copy right now, but it's a pain in the rear end. I might just pick up the .pdf and save us all the trouble.

It's from a 2009 interview on this blog: http://www.rpgblog2.com/2009/07/mega-interview-with-kevin-siembieda.html quote:Game balance is ALWAYS a concern and a key aspect of every rule, power, weapon and character. It has to be.

I'll give them props for remembering that Canada exists, and giving it 2.5 books worth of material! Too bad the material is so excruciatingly boring.

EscortMission posted:Not quite the same thing, but the Rifts novel Palladium released was missing entire chapters. You had to sort of guess at what was going on with this long, rambling fiasco, which to be fair is pretty Rifts in and of itself. I lost my copy of the third book in Palladium's trilogy in one of my many moves, and I'm kinda sad I can't reread the entire horrible mess as it was initially presented.

Rangpur posted:I think 'trapped in an MMO' would be an interesting setting, but only under the assumption that the characters are aware of it and want to escape. Otherwise it's just begging the question 'why not just play any other generic fantasy RPG?' What I saw of the Log Horizon anime kind of does that, but the RPG mechanics don't seem to support it all that well so far. In the show, revival at the nearest Cathedral actually does carry a cost--you slowly lose your memories of the real world. If you were to run with that, it gives you some wriggle room when it comes to accidentally wiping out the party while still maintaining a certain amount of tension. For example, lose all your memories of the real world and you effectively become an NPC. Log Horizon Season 2 Spoilers: There's a guild the heroes meet that have gone bugfuck insane from trying to escape back to the real world. They keep on killing themselves because that's the only way to "see home", as when you die you seem to replay emotional experiences from your life back in The Real World. Unfortunately, dying so much has gutted their memories and caused them to become antagonistic, nihilistic assholes.
