RIFTS Campaign Discussion

Okay, time for a summary and EXP because Neo kept asking last night.

So we started by going right into the mission.
The party spent a while outside of the town, considering how they should enter.
Shira flew around in dragon form and the rest of the party walked in, pretending to be a group of performers looking for their lost dragon.
The guard asked to see them perform and Amelia performed a highly professional dance that shut him up.
The party started by investigating the tavern.
Shira came in after, telling the guards she was the lost dragon. She got free food from some poor sap at the tavern.
Shira started shadow sneaking around and caused mass panic by throwing one guy off a roof, throwing one guy out of the city, and smashing one guy with an elevator. She also broke the elevator.
Amelia kept everyone safe in the tavern and kept them all calm.
Don tried selling books. He did not sell any books.
Celica went around and made sure everyone was safe in the town and told the guards either to fight or run.
Tactical Sneaking Shira.
Shira rescued Aeva's descendants.
Slimex used Turn Animals to save himself from a poisonous frog. Don had to drag him around after that because he's now paralyzed.
Then session ended early, so we left off there.

Shira: 500
Amelia: 300
Don: 225
Slimex: 200
Celica: 200

I've noticed that the more you break the game, the more points you usually get.

Yes, that's fine Crow. I understand there was a lot of frustration, so I'll allow you to change it since it's out of character.

I didn't know that Don was the only one with a flashlight.

Well... To be fair, it was more out of character for me than for Celica...

Thanks.

Okay, so, I wasn't gonna ask until you guys got the crystal back, but do you know which world you might go to first? I need help to know where to focus my map making efforts. I'll list the worlds and the information your characters will receive on them along with any limitations they might have while there.

Ard
This world is very fantasy styled. You'll fight Goblins, Golems, and Dragons here. Magic is used heavily and there's a focus on adventurers taking on missions. You'll meet a wide variety of characters and battle will mostly be focused on small numbers of enemies. The reason this world is on the SENTINELS radar is because there's been a time disruption. The heroes that were meant to save this world from the Dark Lords have mysteriously disappeared, as if removed from time itself. Your mission will be to investigate this disappearance and keep the world from falling into the hands of the Dark Lords, preventing the premature destruction of this world. Players will be limited to using only magic abilities and technology that does not come from beyond medieval ages. The only exception to this technology rule is Techno Wizardry, which is known as Magitek in this world. Shira and Slimex will have to disguise themselves in certain areas. The party will have to blend in by wearing fantasy clothing

Dracomundi
This world has a lot of steampunk stuff in it. Steampunk weapons, machines, and monsters. There's all kinds of strange experiments going on as well in various places. The entire world is at war here and combat will be focused on fighting multiple enemies with powerful equipment and abilities. You'll be interacting with the various countries that are battling and actively affecting how they do in these wars. This world is noticed by the SENTINELS because there has been another disappearing disturbance in time. The Great Dragons that once brought the land plentiful resources have all disappeared, causing seriously bad droughts, natural disasters, and even the undead to rise from their graves. You're mission is to investigate this disappearance and try to find a way to replenish the resources of the land before all life dies in this world. Players are not limited in their abilities or magic skills. Technology is limited to only steampunk or techno wizardry. Both Shira and Slimex will not need to hide their identities in this world. As always, you'll have to blend in with different clothing. Either steampunk or fantasy based, usually.

RIFTS Earth
You've already been to this world. And you probably already read a lot about it, so I don't think I have to describe it. The Federation of Magic and Coalition States have finally broken out into a full scale war. Destruction is seen everywhere in its wake. The party will be tasked with putting an end to the war while gathering clues on OMEN and who they might be. No blending in is required and there are no limitations on abilities or equipment.

Reversal World
This is that world where all logic is tossed out the window. Nothing makes sense here. You will be fighting enemies that are definitely not normal. There aren't living creatures here. It's hard to tell if this world is even real at all. This is probably one of the more difficult worlds to survive. A time anomaly has been found within the Reversal World and the party will be sent out to explore and search for it. No limitations are on this world.

Extremitas
This is a post apocalyptic world where people live in the ruins of their lost cities. Only brave adventurers go out in search of ancient technology to survive against the enemies outside of the safe zones. And even most of them don't survive. This world is harsh and packed full of dangerous monsters and enemies. Your survival abilities will truly be put to the test here. Players will have to explore dungeons for powerful technology and equipment that they can use. The SENTINELS will send them there to prevent the end of the world. While the world itself is currently in bad shape, there's an even greater threat that looms over. Will this world be savable at all...? Players will have to dress in post apocalyptic clothing and have no equipment or magic/psionic limitations. Most humans are not common in this world, so the humans will have to disguise themselves somehow.

Anima
I'm sure most of you have played Pokemon before, right? This is a similar concept. This is a modern world with some advanced technology. Everyone on this planet is born with an animal/monster companion and they are telepathically linked. The people here feel what their partner feels and can communicate with their partner without even speaking. So, in short, everyone on this planet is Psionic. But most aren't major psions. Their powers generally revolve around their ally monster. Weapons are strictly banned in this world, so the players will have to leave any equipment they have behind. Their psionics are not limited, but magic is limited UNLESS you are considered a monster by the population. Players will have to disguise themselves, pairing up in groups of two to pretend that their partner is their monster partner. Players will have to dress in modern day clothing. In this world, monster fights are how the world's problems are solved. The world's most powerful warriors voluntarily put their lives on the line in arenas to fight for their country and their beliefs. It's suspected that there has been a lot of cheating recently, however. This has lead to some sort anomaly forming in the timeline and the SENTINELS have sent the players to investigate it. You'll have to do a lot of searching for clues and battles against singular, powerful enemies in arenas.

Semideum
This world should feel similar to our own. Demigods and Totems used to be common in this world until a large war broke out between them years ago. After that war, general society banned demigods and totems, killing any that they saw on sight and considering them enemies of the world. Time has passed on for a long time since then. The gods are no longer responsive to the world and both Demigods and Totems must go in hiding to avoid execution. The SENTINELS will send the players to investigate an anomaly that originates from the disappearance of the gods and a sudden burst of aura energy in the city. Players must disguise themselves in modern day clothing. They will be unable to use futuristic technology and will be killed on sight if caught using psionics or magic. Shira and Slimex would really have to hide themselves here.

*picks the hardest world first*

K.

...Actually, Extremitas might be the hardest. Eh, they're all dangerous.

Note for Mystic: Shira always wears fantasy style clothing.

I kinda want to do the Draco planet because Shira would probably end up being worshipped as the new Great Dragon.

I like Draco and Ard the most, but I'm willing to go anywhere.

Also.... Um... By "killed on sight", I think you mean "attacked on sight". Don't want to give the wrong impression, now.
