I like the post-apoc parts of Rifts, less so the 50-million-man nazi army part. I mean the population numbers in Rifts are beyond retarded.

Best books:

>Old Mainbook
>New West
>Sourcebook 1
>Australia

Chi-Town Sourcebook when?

Rifts' scale is absolutely nonsensical and inconsistent. It's just way too much shit crammed in a relatively small planet/country, especially considering the size and power levels of the forces in play. Most of earth should just be smouldering ruins by now

Well they already have these, so it shouldn't too alien a concept.

Needs to be more specific first of all.

Are we doing Showa era where riders are full on cyborgs or mid to late Heisei era where it's just the belts giving strength?

What type of opponent are they going after? Secret organizations filled with mooks or a single group of individually powerful creatures in more of a Shadow of the Colossus setup?

We doing multi-riders or is this going to be solo rider supported by police/mech-suits?

I was going to run one in Legends of the Wulin. Kamen Rider is very much a modern expansion on that classic style of high drama, high action martial arts storytelling. Sadly I never got it off the ground, but I would like to run it some day.

I was going for a global Rider organisation, with belts created from ancient historical weapons an artifacts being used to take down abominations and monsters echoing the beasts and demons of mythology.

There are statblocks for giant Ticks also in temple of elemental evil, and Ravenloft literally has fleas THAT CAUSE MADNESS ENDUCING EFFECTS ON THEIR BITES.

Enjoy wavering entire armies dead or insane effortlessly because no one understands disease in D&D, the biggest example of this being the Entire Neverwinter Nights main capagin.

>Entire fucking cult get's away with casting level draining spells shown as healing because no one makes a spellcraft check to notice what they're doing as they're casting a some super high DC lore check on the Old Ones shit.

This is such a good idea, I never considered something like this. A swarm of undead insects would be terrifying and devastating.

Yeah, it's pretty much something you can use to bolster intimidate checks as you make it look like you can automatically will a person dead.

But that isn't even the fucking tip of the Necrofucktrain Icebeg

[feat] Destructive Retribution
All undead you make and control that Die explode in a burst of negative energy
+
Strhad Zombies.

Strahd Zombies are zombies like the Return of the Living Dead ones. They don't die ever, and dismemberment makes INDEPENDENT ZOMBIES out of the removed pieces.

Coupled with Destructive Retribution, a SINGLE ZOMBIE is now worth the grand total an explosion for a hand removed, and explosion for an arm, an explosion for the head, an explosion for a torso, and an explosion for each leg and foot.

This does NOT count towards Strahd zombies subject to grafts or based on creatures with multiple limbs.

Which brings us to pic Related as a zombie.
Congratulations, you can Negative Energy Hiroshima the material plane.

United Kingdom of Arulia tried giving orcs citizenship and starting integration programs. They are not cannibalistic savages now, but still commit most of violent crimes there while being a minority.

You don't punish people for wrongs they have not committed yet.

So slaughtering them beforehand is morally objectionable unless you don't consider these beings as sentient beings capable of controlling their own thoughts and actions.

As for the actual OP question, it's obvious.

Turn those violent urges into something to be used for the benefit of benevolent causes; nothing knows how to take on Gnolls like a Gnoll; instill it with a strong sense of justice and point towards evil.

>neutral and productive

Well shit.

Law enforcement would be ideal, I suppose. Since they're less intelligent they'll be less questioning of authority and therefore less open to being undermined by rebellious movements.

I like to think that cyberpunk is just the high tech surface of a planet-wide city, and that deeper in the city bowels where the long forgotten "skyscrapers" and defunct fast food joints meld and rust with the pies and sewer system, nature remains in some form. Even if it is man-made monsters and animals so adapted to city life that they are no longer their original species. In some places, if you go deeper into the city depths you will find the ocean, long forgotten and long buried. A shadowy abyss of black water which will drag you down to feed its scavengers. In other places, you may even find remnants of the old world. A land of eternal night populated by fungi and insects.

Well, you could try modernizing survival gear. Compound bows with affixed VR Uplink scopes, Dataflares, 3d Printed tents, etc.

You could also try putting some interesting buildings and compounds out in nature. The Hokkaido hospital from Hitman is pretty cool.

As shadowrun shows us, survival gear can always be found. Otherwise, dust/cold would definitely cause issues with cyberware and fancy weapons.

>how do you keep sand out of your matrix jack-port in your spine?
Seal it off. Either get a cover fitted before you go, or keep a sticky dressing over it. Or spray it with synskin. You're not gonna get no wi-fi in the fuckin' desert anyway, omae.

In the snow? Same problem. Snow is just frozen water, yeah? Don't want water in your jacks and your 'ware. Don't want ice in your guns neither, but they at least work in the cold.
And yeah, you're gonna need guns. Polar bears, man. Polar. Bears. You think the sewer bears are bad? Polar bears are worse, omae. White as the snow, come out of the night and eat you in your fuckin' sleep.
Extinct? No way omae. Soon as the geo-engineering lobby chilled the caps back down, the bears started having food again. Yeah. They survive on humans now, mostly. Mostly those bleeding-heart greenies, but they'll eat you just the same. Eat you up, shit out your 'ware into the sea. Nobody's gonna find your corpse.

Underwater and space are pretty similar, though, but different. Same shit, different direction, yeah?
Underwater is simple enough. Easy to get down there. Just step off the boat and sink like a rock. If you float, rope yourself to the street sam and watch him sink.
But you can't breathe down there. Artificial gills are one thing, maybe pic related if you're serious. Only works in shallow waters, though, then the pressure gets you anyway.
Pressure's the bitch that gets you. Squeezes the gas from your blood. Ever hear about accidents back in the deep-oil era, before we grew that from shit and algae? One accident in a pressurised diving chamber, and four guys just got sucked up into the air pipe, snap. Just like that. Four men dead, gore all up the pipe, all over the hab, everywhere. Had to haul it up and count the teeth.
Gotta have hard suits and special gases that make you squeak.

This game sucks, I wanna die.

They have to either both roll evens or odds to stay stable every turn

>>54903169
They temporarily become a gestalt character.
Depending on desired powerlevel, either give them an extra turn or have them swap control every round.

Reposting from last thread for DEM ORKS

>>54901872
Currently, the walls are very patchwork, though the party have the option to replace or repair it for higher stats.

The human rams are enough to batter a hole in the wall in one hit at the moment using the mechanics I'm working out.

I'm quite hyped for the battle, but there's a lot to plan. Using a combination of the mob mechanics from the DMG and some home material.

Wouldn't mind a review if anyone's willing to do some mechanics thinking:

Each band of 10 is treated as an individual monster with total damage equal to the total damage of all units contained within the band divided by the number needed to hit, rounded down.

For health, it's the combined hitpoints of every unit in the band, but a unit is lost at every hitpoint interval.

DMG 250:
Target's AC - Attack bonus = minimum d20 roll needed (review attached table)

Orcs

Orcs needed to hit: 2
