Session Zero: How this Started

Palladium Over Powered, Revved Up Rifts Edition!
Dragons, Godlings, and Neo-Humans Oh MY!

Let me start by making a statement. No game is ever perfect. For the record, I have never been in, nor ran a perfect game. Just not feasible. And why would it be in the first place? Hmmm? You bring a number of creative individuals together with their own visions and their own wants and likes. Tell them to create their specific avatar from a pre-planned set of allowable availabilities. Tell them to make it their own...breath life into it. And then expect them to make something that fits into a framework that you may or may not have shared with the group? Yeah, I am going to mark that up as a fail.

That being said, the one thing, from my point of view, is that no matter what system, no matter what homebrew, I was never truly able to get my perfect avatar. While I would get close...and sometimes damn close, I would always miss a part or two and end up settling for a lesser, more acceptable option. While this simulacrum would be close, and it would somewhat fulfill the minimum requirements, I would always leave wanting more at the end of the day.

Now, at the beginning of 2021, I had the pleasure of joining a game on Rpol that took an old system that I am intimately familiar with and found a way to breath life and modularity into it's antiquated systems. He had found a way to allow players to pick parts of classes and combine them together to create a better whole! Utilizing an unusual point buy system that used experience points and levels as the coinage for purchasing, the new system was both simplistic, yet had depth. Diving into this game, I found it incredibly successful in creating the best version of a character that I could ever hope for. Now, I do admit that some of this admiration might stem from the fact that it utilizes as its base a game that I am intimately familiar with. Though, I am betting that if you are reading this, you are at least partially interested in its capability to possibly create your perfect character. After all, that is the goal of the player...finding that representation that is the most fun, the most fulfilling, to play.

With that all said, I want to encourage and welcome you to come join Unlimited! Palladium Over Powered/Revved Up Rifts Edition!
