Game Master Section

[ Return to Main Menu | Click here if you liked the background ]

This section contains information that GMs should find useful in expanding the scope of their game and in the variety of characters possible.

Game Master Text Directory: Anything that I have not yet linked into this file can be found here.
Conversions Directory: Looking for Babylon 5, Highlander, or Starship Trooper conversions?

Hand to Hand Combat: More hand to hand combat forms to give your characters variety, plus some hand to hand combat notes that included advanced combat abilities and conversions for the damage from different attacks for super strong creatures!
Mutant Traits: I have greatly expanded on those found in the books. These can even be used to create alien life forms.
Machine Merging: Generalized bonues gained by mental interface with a machine, whether by cybernetic implant, Telemechanics, or Mechano-Link.
Touch of Power: Notes and a table with information on giving your Rifts® style characters a little boost.
Perception: The perception rule is very useful, but not everyone has the money for the Nightbane® book. You might also be interested in a perception attribute that Stan Bundy came up with.
Mediation Skill: A 'universal' version of the skill combining elements from Rifts®, Nightbane®, and Mystic China^tm.
Attribute Rolls: Info for doing d20 rolls using attributes plus a way to perform skills w/o training, courtesy of Ben Williams.
PETs: Penetration Exploration Tools, a great file on creating animal companions.

Skills for a Fantasy Campaign: I was sent a file of skills useful in a fantasy setting. To send credit where it deserves to go, e-mail Lee Mitchell.
The Coalition^tm Sourcebook I: has skill updates, lots of new engineering skills, updated and new OCCs, vehicle combat rules, weapon failure, CS departments, history excerpts, new Glitter Boys^tm and updated robots and power armor, and weapons (vibro-weapons have costs associated with them now). I have put it into a .ZIP package (171k). E-mail James Bennett of Unlimited Games^tm and tell him what you thought.
Rifts® Australia: is also avaliable in ASCII text as a .ZIP package (44k). This one got sent in by Adam Mansbridge, an Australian (kind of fitting, isn't it?) It has descriptions of empires/governments, lots of machinery and weapons, the Aborigines! There's also several O.C.C.s and Aborigine earth magic! This is good info for GMs who want to toss characters into an unfamiliar setting. Enjoy it!
