In the unlikely event we have players who use Discord, Esbilon has graciously given us a channel in their server. Feel free to join for more 'real time conversation' although I expect most OCC communication will remain forum side to avoid excluding people. https://discord.gg/Cc8Czkc

I'd be glad to have you! Given there's an entire book on Cyber Knights for the Coalition Wars, it'd be nice to have one in the game. But feel free to think about concepts first, no need for a hasty commitment.

I haven't had the best track record for play-by-post games in the last couple of years. I've just assumed anyone I've played with before who isn't jumping on this, is understandably leery. Hence my disclaimer up in the opening post! So far, as in this very example, Discord and its notification...

No worries, thanks for your interest!

@Gears you still interested? Anyone else, if you've got a buddy who knows the system (or is willing to learn and tackle the reading), ping them over here. 😁 We have about 4 players so far "for sure". Given pbp attrition rates, I'd like to have 6-8. If you have questions, feel free to ask!

Focus on finals week, for sure. You may have noticed but no one else has a sheet up yet either. I'm still laying out Lore by rereading the books and expect to this week and possibly next. The beginning of June represents the earliest realistic start date I can imagine and it'll likely not...

Also, if six books is a bit much, aim at the first (Sedition) and follow it up with (the Final Siege). (Aftermath) is optional because none of you were around to actually see the fallout. Cyberknights is required reading if you want to play one, it's otherwise the most optional book out of the...

I've added more to the lore, particularly the tail end of it. Lots more to fill in the middle still (there's a reason I said this game would probably take a few weeks to get going). For folks interested in playing, you're encouraged to move to the OOC thread and discuss there. If it's...

https://www.rpnation.com/threads/rifts-the-thirteenth-mystery-ooc.528769/ Put up an OOC thread if folks want to get to talking somewhere other than here. :)

To be clear: IC posts were always going to be here. I like having a permanent history I can go back to. The Discord server was just an offer for those who prefer to do OOC and character building there, as a number of games prefer it. But given not a single person interested so far has...

This one isn't starting for at least another couple weeks. I want to get a sense of who wants to play what and then plan my reading around that. Plenty of time for at least one of the RPs to perish as they typically do here. 😁

I'm conceptually fine with it. Something to think about; The characters in this game are presumably reasonably experienced at the beginning of the war but living legendary veterans by the end. Now they're back nine years in the past. The intent isn't that there's two sets of the character...

Appreciate those who have shown interest so far. I've begun to (slowly) create a Lore page for this game. I'll continue to add to it over the next week or so while I see who else is interested in playing. While it's no substitute for the books, it is intended to be an easy point of reference...

You say the nicest things! The six books in question are, of course, sizeable. Given the nature of the game and given I'm wanting to run for well developed characters with good biographies, I'm in no hurry to start. Play by post isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. I figured I'd work out a start...

Thanks for your interest! Rifts Products has a decent summary of the system and the setting. Bear in mind, playing will require at a minimum access to the Rifts Core Book (Ultimate Edition is what I'm using) and it's highly recommended to pick up the 6 Coalition War Campaign books...

Rifts - The Thirteenth Mystery There will come a time when a prophecy will not come true because interlopers from afar will enter events foretold and break their connection with the Future That Might Be. The changes they shall make from the Future That Might Be will be great, and those who...

I have a Defining Principle that any Sidereal PC of mine must be (A) good at Martial Arts, (B) good at Astrology/Prophecy, (C) effective social engineers and (D) good at what's auspicious/what's in their wheelhouse for the group. The net result of that, especially in 3e it seems, is that I'm...

Completely appreciate why that would be important information to have. ;) Honestly, the concept hasn't gelled up yet. What I've got so far are: Dune Person (or something Dune Person adjacent if they don't exist in 3e). Probably was a shaman who helped trace out songlines for their tribe to...

Excellent. Still reading Charms but at this point I'm interested in trying (and eventually being great at) Craft. Survival for tracking as well as surviving. Transportation's probably something we should think about as a group. Do we want a ship? Artifact airship? Flying Yeddim? I'm...

Is there a preferred character sheet format, out of curiosity?
