I'm not sure what to vote for.

They all sound cool.

It's too late. Seno already made a Rifts game.

[The Burning Sun]

Jesus Christ what happened while I was gone?

I guess I have some reading to do...

1) you have to fix the request assistance form
2) We decided to start a game of Rifts on Roll20, which Seno made and we all signed up for, then we made a separate thread because we were cluttering up this one. You might want to ask the mods to move the posts. And make a further rule that you can't discuss specific RPs in depth here, only announce them and direct people to the where a discussion is.

I ALREADY fixed it.

(Read that in GLaDOS' voice)

And sure, I'll do that. Add the rule, that is.

Anyone still interested in my steampunk space RP?

Steampunk? Space? Si, interéšt.

There would be the option to play as a colonial empire, a native civilization, or a freelancer space traveler (a spy, a scientist and an explorer).

I'm yet to work out the native and the space traveler rules though.

We will completely skip IC and do 5-10 turns a day so we finish the whole game in a week. The Rules will be refined in the process based on feedback.

Alright then. Initial thoughts for me are that:

1. Spies are useless if you have positive morale. They should at least be able to lower morale by 0.5 or something, or else they'll never see use.
2. Corporatism is kinda weird. What does that Credit limit thing mean?
3. Lol I need Fashion Clothing to make Elite Troopers
4. Can you get negative shields?
5. Please rename the Brigadier Class. I thought they were pirates when I first saw hem.

Everything else is fine, though I would ask you to add the Mechanics' Guild banner found in the second post somewhere into your OP. Or just add a link or something.

1. Don't worry about the covert ops section. Its not yet done. There will be many, many more options added to spies and covert ops units. There will also be counter-intelligence units.
2. Ah yes, Another thing I forgot about. You can take up loans from earth. Gonna add that soon. Aside from that, Corporatism will give you one-time money boost based on the size of your empire.
3. Indeed.
4. No, and if your shields deplete, the shield unit will take severe damage.
5. All right, I guess that makes sense. What should it be called then?

Accepted, of course.

[Excidium Planetis]

You should change the poll, Burning.

[The Burning Sun]

You should change the poll, Burning.

What to?

Oh, and you are wanted in the Rifts thing.

Now? I can't get on Roll20. I told Gentem that in a TG.

Not now, just in general. And why not? You were there earlier, if I remember correctly.

I wasn't on a computer at the time I made that post. Roll20 does not work on phones, I believe.

It can but I'm not paying for it so it can't.

Throwing up my idea from the Travellers cafe 3, I'll make a signup for the Mechanics Guild just after this since I already have an RP advertised.

Warhammer 40k: The Last Stand.

Map:http://i4.minus.com/jbojJNPv4ngBTH.JPG

Legend:
Purple=Medicae facility
Red Stars= Automated turrets
Light Brown= Doors
Green = enemy spawn
Orange= Armoury
Blue with black centre= Vehicle depo
Grey= barricades
Yellow= assembly line.

Basics:
Welcome to the Manufactorum, a factory built by the disciples of the Machine God and made to churn out as much war material as possible.
However it is likely going to be your grave, for you random idiots managed to corner yourself against the full might of an Ork WAAAUGH! which turned up admist a Tyranid fleet landing.
Thus your last stand..

However you have some luck, there is a vehicle depo with two Chimera, a Leeman Russ Punisher and a Sentinel Walker as well as a medical facilities, an armoury and a series of small turrets and an armoury. Your Objective is to survive as long as possible and try to get along in the meantime.

Question is who are you?

Rules:
Every Player character has 100 points of health and 50 armour, enemy fire will do both armour and health damage, taking off a bit of both.
Ranged combat is maxed out at 40 metres for non upgraded classes, Melee combatants can toss their weapons at the foe over a distance of 15 meters, basic movement speed per turn is 10 meters, a meter is 1 square.

Each player needs to save a copy of the map, place their dot on it then post it for the next person to save and add their dot (has to cover only 1 square) which represents their character(s), then they organize the order in which they move their characters, when every player has moved/done their actions for that turn the turn is over and the enemy make a move, so forth until one side is dead. As the game progresses people post and save the map and the dots while making their move so others can then do their actions, OP or a volunteer takes control of the Orks/Tyranids who will be mostly of the fodder type enemies.
