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.

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.
