Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So help me, I'm making a RIFTS character.

It's really a shame.  I played the Palladium FRPG for several years back in the '80s, and had a fun time.  At that time, we didn't worry too much about the mechanics...it was all about the plot and characters.  I think I would have preferred Rifts...but it came out too late.

The most high-powered, ubermunchkinized, over-the-top, hellbound superoverexcessive game I ever played in was a Palladium game.  The GM did it intentionally, and it was actually the most intense six month campaign I have *ever* been in.  It was an utter blast, but I was left with a character that would never in a million years be accepted in anybody else's campaign.  (He could have chewed up Solar Exalteds for light snacks.)  Fun to play, though...:D)

Quote from: jgantsOddly enough, in my Rifts campaign only the Rogue Scholar has managed to remain unscathed.  Everyone else has either died, nearly died several times, or been seriously maimed.

The trick is to know that you're not a combat character and stay out of the front lines while the other guys do all the work (and take all the risk).
Rogue Scholars are like teflon, baby.  Definitely my favorite class in the game (though the Mystic Kuznya and Nega-Psychic are a blast, too).

Sett, I actually am using something close to that for Rifts.  I've done a flat across-the-board 5% increase per level, and made the 45% skill level or whatever a +45 to a d100 roll, complete with open-endeds for crit. success and crit. failure.  I think it's working out pretty well, and was an easy fix.

Actually, I looked back through my notes and discovered the rogue scholar was almost killed once, back near the beginning of the campaign.  And that was after the time when she was kidnapped and nearly ravaged by a biker gang.

So I guess it took her a couple of sessions to wise up.  :D

Still, she has remained better off than everyone else.
