Re: Glitter Boy for 34 points- is that sick? Thanks for your answer. Sounds like they don't want you to convert their stuff to other rules than Palladium. I doubt that they are as mean that you make them out to be, but on the other hand a poster by the name Rifter is browsing this thread the same time as I am he joined jun the 24 though so it is just not somone who signed up just for this thread that is good right?

Re: Glitter Boy for 34 points- is that sick? So I could not do a rifts Norway page then? Is that what you are saying?

Re: Clerical magic? Eh.. Not speaking for any other Christian groups but us Lutherans sees the devil as the rebellious angel who for his arrogance and treason got stuck with the crappiest job in the universe. He has no power beyond what God gives him. I think most Christian religions have sort of the same belief that Judaism when it comes to old hoof-foot. Off course I could be wrong.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Shadowpup likes Asian women, but what is lesser known is that he is one!

Re: Glitter Boy for 34 points- is that sick? The glitter boy has extra defensive powers (however you want to define it) with the limitation of only vs lasers. And then a variable laser would be bought with the naked variable special effect advantage with the limitation only to counteract laser resistant armour. Simple and streamlined.

Re: Musings on Random Musings I was just kidding a little by the way, no harm intended. Allthough I wish he kept his campaing notes in one thread rather than many.

Re: The purpose of a system - academic and geeky... Okay I understand now, I don’t think we are arguing either just making conversation. Yes that is what I mean. Thank you for clearing that up, again we return to you thinking that the game mechanic is important to the story and I think only the intention behind being important.

Re: Musings on Random Musings He scares me!

Re: The purpose of a system - academic and geeky... I know what you mean there is often people in the different forums who pop up and asks: Who want to see a iron kingdom/rifts/something else conversion? And then nothing.. If it is not designed as a setting first and as a game second then you lose that kernel. But as I am sure you understand now I do not place much weight on the “game kernel†but rather on the setting itself. When I read a game setting no matter which I read it as a setting guide I see how they define normal humans and animals and such and then compare it with the monsters and heroes. I try to read between the lines and see what the setting tries to accomplish, what STORY the setting tries to accomplish. I see (the ideal) rpg’s in general as a way to step into a book and interact with it (Or is it the book that step into us? ) rather than adding a extra role-playing aspect to a game as you described. That is what I meant with the line. And where different games lie along it. And the Hero systems function. Enemies books mostly, not only super heroes but also on common thugs and the like. The same way that a GM sometimes find that the old master character in dnd might have been impressive when the players were 1 level and he 10 but now that they are in the 20ies not so much. The same way has the speed and dex arms race show influence in Hero system, it is done for the sake of the game. Not the story the game represent. When common bandits and barbarians have dex of 14 and 15 then something is not right. That said I think that Hero has taken a big step in the right direction by saying that normals have 8 in all stats now. It is much better now than it was. Such as…? You are right in what you say off course but that is not what I where implying, I mean that the Hero system can reflect any story even a story/setting that is built around another game. You might feel that the setting loses out when it is removed from its initial game system, but I disagree there, the built-in-story-INTENT of the previous game mechanic can be preserved even though the game mechanic itself might be lost. I think that this is the point we disagree upon. And I think that the reason for it is that you have mainly played rpgs as hybrid of a game and story immersion. Try playing a game of talisman, mordheim or heroquest once. You see how game mechanics can be tools not only for story immersion but also for getting people to continue playing as being enjoyable in themselves. I agree with this I think but what do you mean about “values� In comparison to div values I mean. I defiantly agree with this!
