Im 50 years old. Loved this game when I was young. I was digging through my childhood stuff and found my Rifts books which then led me here. Thanks for doing this. (7 years later)
Is she wearing plainclothes armor while traveling? Hope so or maybe she cowers behind MDC wearing individuals when the action occurs. Unless party members are jerks she should be loaned light armor until they find or earn her own.
Wow it's a trip coming back after all these years. This series was the first TTRPG I was ever exposed to, and I still remember listening and laughing along and wondering when I'd get to try this for myself. Now I have many years of gaming under my belt and it is one of the things that gives me the most joy in life. Thank you rifts crew. I hope you are all doing well.
I play a game mode that came in an old RPG magazine the game is called house of wack. There are no papers or anything like that. You are you and the house summoned you the house has paintings and each painting takes you to a world. Is up to the gm what worlds. Right now I am in rift. So these vids are good for me to understand it a bit better.
Great series guys (and gal!). Love it! After a 20 year break in the action I'm finally going to be playing again! These videos have been a brilliant way of me getting my head back in GMing! Thank you and all the best to you all :-)
Wow I saw this and took me way back me an u buddies played all through undergrad and med school when we found time our last campaigner were using the Africa supplement and got to fighting the four horseman ....I remember my character after years and years finally got himself a glitter boy mech suit...sigh to be young again...thanks for doing this...made this older nerd smile...subbed!
Fuck yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Palladium Rifts was the first PnP system I ever learned to play and GM (about 4 years ago), it has been one of my favorite PnP games. I am extremely excited for this series. Glad you are doing this, while a lot of PnP games have been being played and sessions have been recorded and posted on youtube, there are not too many Palladium/Rift ones. Props to the GM (Infernocanuck).
I didn't think it was possible, but i love you all the more because you know about Mechwarrior. It's a fantastic game, that unfortunately didn't really get the renown it deserves.
My friends and I play rifts every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I pissed everyone off cuz I made a vampire (anyone who plays Rifts know how OP vampires are). One of my friemds thought it would be funny to throw a silver knife into my heart. I parried, then through my mind control at him. He succeeded in his Save vs. Psionics roll, but I hit him again and he failed his roll. I then forced him to blow his brains out with his own gun. Everyone laughed and teased him as he got up and left the room to make a new character.
Would have watered down the Bloodsucker and both of you would have rerolled chracter's. NOBODY tolerates vamps. CS, Sploogorth, True Atlantians, all agree vamps must die!
When this game first released, I grabbed it and my usual RPG group dove right in. This is a very fun game world but as with most Palladium games, it's based on actual role-playing and less on hack-and-slash (or in this case, hack-and-blast). We always seemed to get a player that would join in who couldn't get the hang of what it meant to play as your character but fortunately the game setting seemed to keep them engaged without getting frustrated. Currently, I'm running a Palladium Fantasy RPG campaign and it's some of the best sessions I've had in my GM'ing experience. It's great to see this RIFTS series as well as other tabletop rpgs getting played because it's a social activity that was starting to die until the recent resurgence of pen and paper games. Hopefully this series breeds some new gamers!
Agreed! We are lucky in that this group loves to play in character, even when that means doing the worst possible thing because it is what your character would do :)
Even the worst decisions are the memorable moments in any game, especially if you're playing in character. I used to have a coalition military specialist and due to his rather distrusting view of anything non-human, he ended up destroying a gm's entire plan of how to make this big invasion happen after my character killed the group of npc's and one pc that were all acting like allies but were actually going to set off this whole conspiracy plan, etc etc. One guy made the mistake of trying to kill me when I got suspicious and one natural 20 later, he was nothing but a red mist and iron filings and the GM had no idea what to do next after the rest of my party killed the other conspirators lol. Quickest game session ever :)
Unpredictability is a HUGE part of what makes tabletop rpgs great! In another game (Palladium FRPG) I'm running, one of the players was cursed where he had to roll against his ME every new melee round of combat in order to keep control of himself. If he failed, he went into a total bezerker state and just attacked anyone near him. Believe me, THAT lead to some awkward battle tactics lol
Just found this tonight ( 7-25-14) it's fun to play at work and imagine what my character would do even though my sea titan is way to op for their situation. Infernal does a good job GM ing and they storyline is congruent. Well done guys can't wait to listen to more
Playing this right now I play a level 9 mind melter We also have in the party Elf mage hippy guy Techno ninja Cyber knight Juicer Vagabond Full conversion Borg Glitterboy pilot We did have A dog boy Ex coalition soldier Techno wizard Big party
I found this today while at work, thank you for putting out something like this. I would love to chit chat Rift's if you still play. Until then, game on .
I've been your subscriber for some time now, thanks to SorcererDave, but never really had time to get into your channel. That might finally change now and I wondered what should I begin with and this series seems interesting, the whole concept of podcasting live rpg sessions is intruiging! So I guess I'll stick around for a while! :)
The fact that he's a doctor could be pretty nice because he can stealth fully kill a guy and then fake treat him distracting the Guards and giving his group a chance to get away
Well generally i'm known as Mr.happy on other consoles but i decided to spice it up. So i chose my favorite city from the fable franchise even though the first game is the best out of all of them in my opinion. That's why. So there's the story Squee about my marvelous user name. :p
Would it have something to do with Alcibiades betraying athens for sparta after being more or less drummed out of politics? Also maybe that Alcibiades, like Al, was charismatic as _fuck_? New sub btw, stumbled upon your XCOM stuff and now onto Rift! Love your stuff man.
Hell yeah love rifts. In a game myself atm with some family and friends and I can say my techno-wizard has been through some shit. I'm Looking forward to catching up with these eps.
They re released RIFTS under the SavageWorlds system. Anyone that enjoyed the game I would highly suggest these as the system fits much better and you can bust out your old books!
Rifts, basically imagine a darker version of He-Man where magic and technology coexist and you can be anything you want with in the G.M.'s limits (game balance and so forth).
Rifts! I know this is like an 8 yr old video but rifts is definitely a game that if u find dnd too limited or limiting, well this is the game for u 😀 i met Kevin sembieda in Toronto, so cool, wish he would run his printing a bit differently tho, it's a major pain to try to get his stuff outside of the USA Edit: Glitterboy!!!!
does sound very fun if you can get a gm like inferno and I agree the art work is amazing I wonder if she does commissions Though if you can't get a gm like inferno I'd be worried
ua-cam.com/users/infernocanuck Sadly, it died after a couple hundred episodes though you can still view them. Another LP of rifts started by the same GM though in the link given.
I played a Chang-ku dragon hatchling one time that took the form of a Fennodi as cover. Everyone in the group knew me as a Fennodi alien and whenever something like the fact that I weighed 600 lbs despite being a 6ft tall lanky humanoid came into question I could just tell everyone I was an alien so I’m weird. Lol. Why can you shape shift? What’s your obsession with wealth for? “Oh, haha, I’m an alien.” Lol.
I want a Rifts game on PC....it doesn't even have to be a game with fancy graphics. I can use my imagination to see the world I am in, and it can show pictures from the books for all I care.
My group plays our campain on sundays.my character is ex coalition special forces sent to to California to spy on the untopia known as the Oakland Coliseum.
Back in the early 90's, my parents bought me Ninjas and Superspies. My first RPG ever. Now after years of playing all kinds of different RPGs and DMing D&D, I STILL CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO PLAY A PALADIUM GAME. Is there any place where I can go that actually explains the system? It seems like every book I see shows how to create a character but there is no explanation of the game system!
haven't played in years, but want so bad to try a partial crazy cyberdoc using the mom implants in psyscape/lazo. they are cybernetic implants that can be chosen as part of the starting cybernetics for the cyberdoc. (been collecting the books non stop since 93, and just bought the new lazo book)
I must be really strange because I know who Alcibiades was, lol. He was a politician and general and if I recall involved in the Peloponnesian Wars. If memory serves he pretty well was the Captain Kirk of the ancient world. (and it led to his death I believe) Yeah, I know five years late but there you go!
Music: ua-cam.com/video/chhksy7wmWY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Drowsy I just caught up to Ardenfell, so now I'm moving on to this until that one updates again!
I`ve played rifts GURPS D&D and Shadow Run and honestly this game is tied for 1st with good old fashion D&D. Also I believe Alcibiades was an Athenian general and statesman in the about 4th century BC whos family fell out of prominence after the Peloponnese war. Do I get a star
Is it because throughout Alcibiades's life he was forced to leave the people he was working for several times, the first he had to flee Athens because of a charge of sacrilge by political enemies, then he fled to Sparta and a similar thing happend causing him to run to Persia until his political allies facilitated his return to Athens, where yet again he was exiled this time permanently by his political rivals/enemies?
Lord Kierstead Mostly and good job! The full answer is that he was one of the greatest con artists in history. He was a model Athenian. Loved to wine and dine and live a rich life. Then he went turn coat and became more spartan than the Spartans, living a life of simplicity and war. And then went back again and managed to convince Athens to take him back. He could have sold ice to an Eskimo if he wanted to.
Alcibiades was a Greek philosopher who argued that it was nonsensical to speak about things that didn't exist e.g. the absence of something. I'm probably not explaining that very well though.
If anyone is interested in other RPG campaigns, I would reccomend the Wyrmwick and Dethklok campaigns which can be found on Lordkat's wiki also: my music: metal
RUE, plus whatever Rifts book you feel speaks to you. I'm currently running RUE, Mercenaries, Merc-Ops, Merctown, Mercenary Adventures, Juicer Uprising. I also love Atlantis 1&2. Thought not really linked to my Ohio/Mississippi game, I wish the Underseas and Lemuria was.
i remember the fastest way i stopped a campaign, i made a cyberknight and after i was done making the character, level one i may add he had a total of 1 MD and some SDC XD we just put everything away after that and my brother the GM was just like nope.
Squee and the crew i was just wondering what character sheet template you use and where i could find it; im planning on starting a quest of rift with my friends and it would be extremely useful.
The CS is not the best military in the RIFTS Earth, in this that goes to either the NGR or one of the Empire of Japan. Even some of the Russian Warlords have better military than they do. Even in the North American Continent there not even the best. In this that goes to Free Quebec, Roguean Republic [book was never published.] and what was Iron Heart. Depending on the timeline you are in the CS is not the best.
lnlraven079 We're going in the way way back machine. A nice even 100 P.A. And sure, the NGR might have the guns and Japan has the toys, but at this point, Free Quebec is still with the CS. And to an indoctrinated soldier or agent, yet.. the Collation is the best army in the world. ;)
lol, so in the age of chaos then. So far that is what I was hoping because otherwise that will eliminate some O.C.C's that they could be. Question though are they are nulls? Because I am having fun trying to figure out what each one was. Though the agent is known to us on Utube the others are not. Because not to spoil anything the reaction between the agent and someone that is not a null is going to be interesting.
With Rifts I'd give a player the bare minimum that they need to make the character they want, or they can take roll for it and take their chances. It's a crap shoot because you could take the guarantee and possibly end up with a stronger character, OR, use the dice and end up with a weaker character.
i played as a mystic but how hard is it to play as Dragon Juicer on ur first time? and i had to pick the name Nightmare, i haven't played the game in a while and forgotten where i left off
Im 50 years old. Loved this game when I was young. I was digging through my childhood stuff and found my Rifts books which then led me here. Thanks for doing this. (7 years later)
Same here except im 55
An unarmored human singer being happy-go-lucky in the world of Rifts Earth is a sign of insanity, would check under her hair for MOM implants.
Looking back on it....
Is she wearing plainclothes armor while traveling? Hope so or maybe she cowers behind MDC wearing individuals when the action occurs. Unless party members are jerks she should be loaned light armor until they find or earn her own.
I played rift once, I was one of the crazies, and he knew he was in a RPG game
That's awesome.
Theron Howard that is one of the most unique things I have ever heard!
Your character was the She-Hulk of her time.
So you were Deadpool basically?!
HOLY CRAP!! RIFTS!!!! I bought the first book way back in 1990.
corey vire same here, lol. Rifts is my favorite tabletop game
@Ian Robertson
Wish I could find players nearby. Or better yet, a game with an open chair.
I used my teen bucks to get all the world books as published forever! Never played a game... Seemed like a great system... Also TMNT!!!
@@hansjohannsen6722 I liked getting the books just to read them also.
Right was a great game.
i bet that when you started this game you didn't think it would last twoish years and become a small but thriving fandom
+wholegrainmilk We didn't think that at all! We just thought it would be fun to record while playing, and here we are!
Wow it's a trip coming back after all these years.

I've not played Rifts since the 90s, it was an awesome game, very dark and expansive. must have got through reams of paper.. nostalgia!
Holy shit, I just discovered this play list... endless hours of rifts? Thanks for sharing! I look forward to hearing it all.
Mrs Brisby Yeah. If you stick with it, it's a very good story. I'm at the stage where I watch the streams on PsyLp.
I've played rifts before, and man it's fun.
Sena Morimoto has any one here ever played a glitter boy like I herd the were fun
Amen
This was my intro to TTRPGs, thank you so much Squee, I'll never forget how you brought this amazing hobby to me.
mine too but more of a hook than introduction. gotta thank Arne of Android Arts!
I play a game mode that came in an old RPG magazine the game is called house of wack. There are no papers or anything like that.

Hold on HOLD ON, Castle (Al) looks like Nathan Fillion. I smell a Castle/Nate fan right here

Sounds like Borderlands meets Borderline Insanity
I didn't think it was possible, but i love you all the more because you know about Mechwarrior. It's a fantastic game, that unfortunately didn't really get the renown it deserves.
i opened a mechwarrior book once, saw all the rip off robotech designs and put it down in disgust. even though the robotech rpg kinda sucks...
I love Rifts, most fun I've ever had role-playing along with AD&D 2nd edition after all tge crazy players supplements came out
My friends and I play rifts every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I pissed everyone off cuz I made a vampire (anyone who plays Rifts know how OP vampires are).

Until someone walks in with a water gun or throws up a rain cloud.
Ok your vampire vs my 400 year old great horned dragon hatchling.
Ps all i gotta do is sit on you till daytime lol try moving 22 tons vampy
@@Jaco_Vorn Not really a hatchling after 400 years is it?

glad you decided to upload these! I saw you streaming it a few times but never had the time to stay for long :)
Streaming as Jedi Outcast 😂. Great game too.
Just stumbled across this, and I look forward to watching the rest of the playlist
This is fun.. I Love RIFTS. Actually trying to start a small group and create a campaign as I watched err listened
I used to play this back in high school. I still have 27 Rifts books stored away.
Squee, I now have something to listen to as I play Elite:Dangerous. Over 7000 ly from sol, it gets rather lonely...
You'l burn many a lightyear listening to 200+ episodes!
I found this today while at work, thank you for putting out something like this. I would love to chit chat Rift's if you still play. Until then, game on .
They are STILL playing Rifts, and other things!
thanks for making this I just started getting into these kind of games and this setting seems seems really interesting
I've been your subscriber for some time now, thanks to SorcererDave, but never really had time to get into your channel. That might finally change now and I wondered what should I begin with and this series seems interesting, the whole concept of podcasting live rpg sessions is intruiging!

The fact that he's a doctor could be pretty nice because he can stealth fully kill a guy and then fake treat him distracting the Guards and giving his group a chance to get away
Alcibiades was a Greek general in the Peloponnesian War.
yes, but why use that name?? :P
Well generally i'm known as Mr.happy on other consoles but i decided to spice it up. So i chose my favorite city from the fable franchise even though the first game is the best out of all of them in my opinion. That's why. So there's the story Squee about my marvelous user name. :p
While I appreciate the story, I meant why did AL choose his name, not just where the name came from :P
Lol whoops it's just like me to mess that up.
Would it have something to do with Alcibiades betraying athens for sparta after being more or less drummed out of politics? Also maybe that Alcibiades, like Al, was charismatic as _fuck_?
New sub btw, stumbled upon your XCOM stuff and now onto Rift! Love your stuff man.
To this day I still send this to prospective players to get them hooked.
I Love Rifts ! One of my favorite rpg's. Thank you !

ua-cam.com/users/infernocanuck Another LP of rifts started by the same GM in the link given.
For future referance any pistol of MDC quality offered more protection then that house. Based on damage copacity.
Did anyone notice that squee is the only combat oriented character, and no knows it.
:)
P.P is physical prowess :3
They re released RIFTS under the SavageWorlds system.
Anyone that enjoyed the game I would highly suggest these as the system fits much better and you can bust out your old books!
SDC can't kill a person in one shot, MDC can (100 SDC = 1 MDC)
I have unlocked a long lost memory
Rifts, basically imagine a darker version of He-Man where magic and technology coexist and you can be anything you want with in the G.M.'s limits (game balance and so forth).
You could literally be He-man if the GM allowed you to do it by having him come through a rift.
the best parties have a vagabond, dragon juicer, rogue scholar, a true atlantean, and an anti-monster in them.
oh, and a partial conversion runaway slave borg.
Rifts! I know this is like an 8 yr old video but rifts is definitely a game that if u find dnd too limited or limiting, well this is the game for u 😀 i met Kevin sembieda in Toronto, so cool, wish he would run his printing a bit differently tho, it's a major pain to try to get his stuff outside of the USA
Edit: Glitterboy!!!!
Really cool you guys! I would love to join in a RIFTS game with you sometime! :D

What happen to the good ol' days, where companions meet in a tavern they all happen to be staying in?

Piph's Patrick character sounds a lot like 'Sheldon' from The Big Bang Theory. :)
I have different taste than some P&P gamers. My first favorite P&P game is Rifts.
Back in the early 90's, my parents bought me Ninjas and Superspies. My first RPG ever.
Now after years of playing all kinds of different RPGs and DMing D&D, I STILL CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO PLAY A PALADIUM GAME. Is there any place where I can go that actually explains the system? It seems like every book I see shows how to create a character but there is no explanation of the game system!
I'd Like to point out that the Coalition Genetically Engineered the Dog Boys
Great game friend. Hey where did you go to get a printed char sheet like you have?
haven't played in years, but want so bad to try a partial crazy cyberdoc using the mom implants in psyscape/lazo. they are cybernetic implants that can be chosen as part of the starting cybernetics for the cyberdoc. (been collecting the books non stop since 93, and just bought the new lazo book)
I miss this, but everything ends. Although the foreshadowing at 46:30 is uncanny.
Rifts is an awesome game my last character was a sentient skunk that grew poisonous buds as fur..you can do anything in Rifts..I love that game

Indeed it was.
Question: Can a mystic recharge E clip's with magic??
A merc. comes into a magic shop asking to get his E clip's recharged.
Hey where do you get that character sheet? I'm gonna run a game via the internet and this looks like a good one.
Actually the best trained soldiers in rifts are from triax or japan lol
The Coalition has the best Brainwashed soldiers
Nope, Juicers.
Looks like the old rifts game is getting pimped on the palladium web site. Awsome!
Best way to describe Rifts is an R-Rated He-Man.
Imagine if HBO made a live action He-Man or Thundar The Barbarian television series.
My favorite character to play would have to be the hyperion juicer, a.k.a. literally sonic the hedgehog
Gotta watch out for that _foilage._
Rifts is like a He-Man reality. Magic and monsters meets Science & Technology.
Thun-Darr! the BAR-barian!

Also I believe Alcibiades was an Athenian general and statesman in the about 4th century BC whos family fell out of prominence after the Peloponnese war. Do I get a star
No, because you need to answer why this name was chosen. What about him made AL think it was a fitting cover name for him? :)
Is it because throughout Alcibiades's life he was forced to leave the people he was working for several times, the first he had to flee Athens because of a charge of sacrilge by political enemies, then he fled to Sparta and a similar thing happend causing him to run to Persia until his political allies facilitated his return to Athens, where yet again he was exiled this time permanently by his political rivals/enemies?

Then he went turn coat and became more spartan than the Spartans, living a life of simplicity and war. And then went back again and managed to convince Athens to take him back. He could have sold ice to an Eskimo if he wanted to.
Ahh cool.So do I get a star
never played the game (bad attention defecit) but i read the crap out of the Rifts Books
Same, used book stores are you best bet for them i find.
Alcibiades was a Greek philosopher who argued that it was nonsensical to speak about things that didn't exist e.g. the absence of something. I'm probably not explaining that very well though.
how do you type in the character sheet im starting up some campaigns i downloaded the character sheet???
If anyone is interested in other RPG campaigns, I would reccomend the Wyrmwick and Dethklok campaigns which can be found on Lordkat's wiki
also: my music: metal
What rifts books do you need to play rifts. I have 2 in my house from my dad but I'm not sure what books I need.
Rifts Ultimate Edition (referred to as RUE) is the main (and current) rule book.
RUE, plus whatever Rifts book you feel speaks to you. I'm currently running RUE, Mercenaries, Merc-Ops, Merctown, Mercenary Adventures, Juicer Uprising. I also love Atlantis 1&2. Thought not really linked to my Ohio/Mississippi game, I wish the Underseas and Lemuria was.
i miss this game
The name refers to a Greek general and diplomat that slept with everyone including the Spartans
Character is named after a Athenian statesman, Alcibiades
i remember the fastest way i stopped a campaign, i made a cyberknight and after i was done making the character, level one i may add he had a total of 1 MD and some SDC XD we just put everything away after that and my brother the GM was just like nope.
Carver6661313 i meant before cyber armor, without armor i had 1 md at level 1
its MDC
Alcibiades was an Athenian general if I recall correctly
Yes... and no... and yes again :P
Squee and the crew i was just wondering what character sheet template you use and where i could find it; im planning on starting a quest of rift with my friends and it would be extremely useful.

thanks a bunch
Long pig for dinner? LOL Has happened in a game more than once. Based on ladies reaction to getting more food.
PP is Physical Prowess, right explanation.
The CS is not the best military in the RIFTS Earth, in this that goes to either the NGR or one of the Empire of Japan. Even some of the Russian Warlords have better military than they do. Even in the North American Continent there not even the best. In this that goes to Free Quebec, Roguean Republic [book was never published.] and what was Iron Heart. Depending on the timeline you are in the CS is not the best.
lnlraven079 We're going in the way way back machine. A nice even 100 P.A. And sure, the NGR might have the guns and Japan has the toys, but at this point, Free Quebec is still with the CS. And to an indoctrinated soldier or agent, yet.. the Collation is the best army in the world. ;)
lol, so in the age of chaos then. So far that is what I was hoping because otherwise that will eliminate some O.C.C's that they could be. Question though are they are nulls? Because I am having fun trying to figure out what each one was. Though the agent is known to us on Utube the others are not. Because not to spoil anything the reaction between the agent and someone that is not a null is going to be interesting.
I have fallout 3's wasteland music on the background.
speaking of audio novels where the HECK is the next issue of The Arena?
With Rifts I'd give a player the bare minimum that they need to make the character they want, or they can take roll for it and take their chances. It's a crap shoot because you could take the guarantee and possibly end up with a stronger character, OR, use the dice and end up with a weaker character.
i played as a mystic but how hard is it to play as Dragon Juicer on ur first time? and i had to pick the name Nightmare, i haven't played the game in a while and forgotten where i left off
This is awesome!!!!!
What computer program do you have for rifts?
Way late to the party, but would love to be able to listen to these sessions during day. Anyway to download just audio so I can listen at work?
yea...minimize screen and use headphones or ear buds
