Rifts Completion Delayed Just a Bit

The Rifts game that I actually ran two weeks ago went fairly well. We started late of course, but also had a good interruption of friends who I thought could not make it. The couldn't but instead were stopping by since they had gone out to eat. I even got one of them to run his character for a little while.  The only bad thing was that we ended up stopping at 1 PM with the wrap up still needing to be completed.

I figure I can get everyone together pretty easy and just run through the game without dice, character sheets, or books.  I can simply use the notes that I already have on my PDA (alright a phone, but I liked the good old days of PDAs.  It just sounded better.)  The one obstacle is getting people together.  I would like to avoid eating out to save money, but that is what we normally do once we get together.  I am figuring just calling people up and say be here at X PM on Caterday just to be done with it.

They can then find out that they are technically screwed by the loot as it a test of them abiding by their contract.  We shall see if any one actually reads this post from the group.

What took me so long

Of course what reallly took me so long today to put the last post up was partially walking around for 3 hours, and reading Firefly Season 1 episode 15 that was just released. Pretty good, but would have been much better on TV. It was released here: Firefly episode 15

Rifts Game Completion

I have finally gotten everyone together to complete the Palladium Rifts game that has been sitting for almost a year. It was delayed due to the normal things: work, school, sickness, dead players, and outside hobbies among many other things. Thankfully everyone now has the time to finish it after a few graduations, resurrections, and aactually having free time.

The loss of one of the players is a bit saddening, but he has other things to do. An alternate is just starting school, so that screws up his weekends. Now we are down to four, so I shall have to work on convincing one other person into it. I just have to figure out how.

We left off at the start of an attack on a vampire layer. Thankfully for the PCs it is only a bunch of minor newbie vamps; as Rifts vampires are extra-dimensionally scary! I mean Freaks of Nature from Outer Space who eat your brains while in another dimension scary. They have a pretty good chance of winning since the PC who specialized in killing the Undead is still in the game. They are just missing their cyber-knight who would have done well against thesome vamps with the way he was outfitted.

I have a synopsis of the adventure located on my Sons fo Death Rifts website (located at here: Againt the Vampire Incursion! that no one ever goes to. OK maybe not no one, but it has so few visitors that anyone else would be embarrassed by the amount.
