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.

[RIFTS] What the hell is wrong with it? How do you fix it?

Quote from: War Rocket Ajax;945156I just recently stumbled on this community,

1-Remove MDC and switch to DR/SDC system:

2-Damage overhaul:


3-Burst fire overhaul:

4-Cover save:

5-Boxing:

6-Skills:

7-Balance: .

Welcome to the grungiest bar in the intertubes!

1&2:  Brilliant. I always went for simpler solutions, where yours seems to require a bit more work to set up. Betcha you got a lot of notes written in your books to speed things up?

3: seems unnecessary, but useful

4: seems somewhat necessary and useful

5: yeah, the 'everyone has Boxing' is one of the problems with Rifts/palladium.  That's as good a solution as any, probably better than just cutting it from the game.

6: I'm not entirely sure what that means? If it means what I think it means... WHY????? Dear god, why?!!!  What is so damn hard about just rolling a percentile under? Why would you roll a percentile and add for an open ended, mega chart of doom??? WHYYYYYYY!!!!!  oh, god, the humanity!!!

7: Yeah, I don't really think that's a houserule. I think that's just how the game is written. Forcing people to not play 'broken class x y or z for balance reasons' is the houserule.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.
