Dice Rifts Japan - OOC Thread

[Purr]

It was post 416, just before my silly of being a towering volcano of rage for your request of the chibi fox form.

Ah! Thanks. I'm working off of my tablet here and clearly missing stuff on this different screen. (Plus, I keep hitting Enter which equals Post reply. That means I'm posting before I mean to. Sorry for the spam! I'll get the hang of this if I keep at it.)

So, you're O.K. as long as you have your Percocet?

I am not sure how Ando could be older, divorced with a kid, and just now be developing his psychic powers though.

Easy (if Sherwood allows)! Just follow that idea I had in my spoiler yesterday? Maybe Ando did some super-good for some super-being and it granted him his new Psychic powers (perhaps as a way of giving Detective Ando a stronger means toward survival against these demons or something?)

I probably would keep his Martial Arts and try to pick up his current physical skills so I would not have to vary his math too much.

If he's into swords, maybe give him Kendo or some other Japanese weapon-based system?

If you wish to do so, you can use one of the police occs in place of the skills of the Mind Melter.

Am I wrong in thinking there is only one law enforcement-based O.C.C. in Rifts Japan? The rest are military-based, aren't they (like the SAMAS pilot)? I don't have my books in front of me.

Hah! Just a silly little daydream I had while on break. Who is Sam Spade?

No one watches the old black and white classics these days?

Sam Spade is the Detective from the great classic Detective movie "The Maltese Falcon", Mr. Spade is portrayed by one of my favorite actors of all time the amazing Humphrey Bogart! (The same actor who played the lead Rick Blaine in my favorite movie of all time "Casablanca" )

I do, but my education is... let's use the word "scattered." Because of my strong ADHD symptoms, I take great care in what goes in my brain (for example, I avoid TV except for A&E and Discovery channel every chance I get).

Humphrey Bogart! Oh! That's all you had to say! Mr. Maltese Falcon himself! I GMed a Rifts adventure once during our tabletop games that involved the Maltese Falcon. "Here's lookin' at you, kid!" =)

It may be. I'm still at the ER waiting for the results of my CAT scan and a little bit floaty from the pill I took. Probably just a bruised back, but I'll be sore for a few days I'm sure. I just didn't want to take any chances that there was a more serious injury.

Oh, and who says Ando has developed them fully? Aren't we all playing 1st level characters? It doesn't get any lower than that as PCs go! =)

Rackelfratz. Sooo long baths with Epsom salt (I like lavender)? Massage machines with heat? VItamins? I'm glad you're O.K., Bud!

 

[Sherwood]

Thanks, my friend. I'm just lucky to have gotten through this with as little damage to me and my car as there is. Lots of TLC from my family and some rest and I'll be as good as new.

 

[Psychie]

Take care of yourself, Sherwood. We kinda like having you around.

 

[Sherwood]

Just kinda? Who's being silly now? You love me. Lol

Just got my results, and there's no break, thank goodness. Just soft tissue bruising.

 

[Purr]

Well, if you're still in the ER, I bet you're bored waiting. Let's talk more RP and maybe help pass the time?

With Snowfall, I remember seeing in one of my Rifter magazines (I own only four) that there were some kind of changes to kitsune that enter Rifts, but I don't know what they were. Plus, I think you're right about my now being able to play a kitsune as they are meant to be played. We really nerfed him (it was only fair) in the old game. But here? Since he's not an Atlantean Dimensional Voyager? That nerfs him quite a bit (and I think in good ways)!

I think Snowy's going to make it out with more Martial Powers. I'm not going for all of the really big ones out of concerns for game balance. Still, I'm kind of wondering which Japanese martial systems to go with. I'm thinking Aikido 2.1 (Atemi nerve-powers with a mystical Zenjoriki power) with maybe the hard-hitting Kyokushinkai or the hard/soft combination of Sankukai (which offers Arts of Invisibility).

I want Snowy to have M.D.C. or he might just get creamed (it's a Rifts game - the more survivable, the better, within reason, right?). I'll know more when I have my books in front of me.

Yep! The drugs have him loopy, all right! Ha ha! Just kidding!

I'm glad you're only bruised! How long might you be out of work?

 

[Sherwood]

Hopefully just today, but there is no guarantee that I'll be able to go in tomorrow.

 

[Psychie]

At least you are ok. That's the important thing.

 

[Sherwood]

Yup. Thanks for the well wishes, guys. You are good friends.

 

[Psychie]

Well you are a good friend to us.

 

[Purr]

I can only imagine if our dear Killfire were still alive, what he'd be telling you in that strong, deep voice of his.

"Sherwood, if you die, I'll drive over there, dig you up, and kick your ass. So don't die, yanno? Stay fluffy!"

Ha ha ha! God, I miss that big lunk! 8D

 

[Purr]

Psychie Is your Kimi good to go? I mean, we haven't gotten into starting weapons and gear yet, but as far as I know, this is maybe your first Rifts Japan game? You have any questions or are you wondering anything?

 

[Epiphany]

My condolences, Sherwood. Hopefully a day of recovery has helped?

 

[Sherwood]

I'm still pretty sore, but I should be ok to go back to work later on tonight, thanks to my lidoderm back patches to keep me from hurting too much by the end of the night.

 

[Epiphany]

Is your car okay?

 

[Sherwood]

Is your car okay?

Minor damage. Still drivable, but I plan on making an insurance claim and getting it fixed.

 

[Purr]

I hope your company doesn't jack your insurance rates up too high for making the claim. Good luck, Bud!

 

[Purr]

Thank you for the love there, Pips! I will keep Isamu in My Private Workshop as I bring back my favorite RP Nation Rifts character, Snowfall the Kitsune! =)

Sherwood Which reminds me, could I get a 1d4x10 roll from you, please? I found the Kitsune to Rifts data I was looking for in Rifter #3. They are Mega-damage creatures! Woo!

 

[Epiphany]

So, the Kitsune and Dragon are from the Empire, the Mindmelter's from the New Republic. And both GunMan2 and D. Rex are playing cyborgs also from Hiroshma?

 

[Purr]

Epiphany Yes on the New Empire, but...

The cyborgs and detective are both from Hiroshima which is the Republic of japan. =)

It should also be noted that Mind Melters don't typically come from the tech-oriented Republic of japan. We're pulling some creative strings with that one.
