Wow, this ...> it's just so damn ubiquitous.<br /><br />Wow, this much be a regional thing or something. I've never seen anyone play it. I can't recall ever even seeing someone have the books. I don't remember it every listed as a game at a con (could have easily overlooked it though). I've only met a handful who admit to playing Palladium (and they instantly went into how awesome their one character was wankfest).<br /><br />I've seen so little Palladium I've often wondered how they stay in business. I must just not mingle in the right circles.<br /><br />I'm 39, btw.Norman J.

The problems only really begin with MDC players and/or super weapons. Keeping it lowkey and gritty makes the game a lot more fun than running with the kitchen sink approach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-10999984467227991942009-11-05T12:15:15.690-08:002009-11-05T12:15:15.690-08:00@ James: it wouldn't be Rifts if the skulls DI...@ James: it wouldn't be Rifts if the skulls DIDN'T shoot lasers.<br /><br />Interesting thought...Rifts might indeed be a game for the young.

It's really lacking in firepower.<br /><br />And those skulls better be able to shoot beams out their eyes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973301663176412762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-48082577045449183492009-11-05T10:05:08.177-08:002009-11-05T10:05:08.177-08:00OOh, look!

Though at only 31, I have wondered if running RIFTS, like some professional sports, is a game for the young.<br /><br />Despite the flaws (IMO some accurate, some less so), I ran the game pretty handily for the early part of my college years in a memorable campaign that still has my group nagging me (good naturedly) for a repeat performance. Nowadays though, I pick up my copy of RIFTS, and sigh wearily. I can't imagine how I managed to run that game, as extemporaneously as I did, for as long as I did with only a few changes to the rules. I honestly think my brain was somehow more fit then.<br /><br />Can't wait to see where you're going with this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973301663176412762noreply@blogger.com
