[QUOTE="Summer-Knight925, post: 5698085, member: 80297"] I asked this because I am going to be running a rifts campaign for my school gaming club, and was accused of being, and this is a serious quote so it offends anyone don't get mad at me, just understand the person I was dealing with, a person no longer in the club for this exact reason. And I quote: "The Palladium line is a horrible excuse for an RPG and by playing it it proves I was right saying you are a horrible excuse for a DM (GM). I don't even need to know the rules to say how much it sucks and how stupid anyone who plays it is, I can already tell just by your description that the world setting is far inferior to D&D's (this is the 4e setting he is talking about) and all that extra crap they crammed in was to cover up the fact that it sucks and there are more plot holes in it than any other setting. The characters are a total waste of time, they don't do anything! Even the giant robot get's killed by a smaller robot, it's a pointless game for idiots who don't know how to role play at all so they just imagine star wars and play that, because if the TV didn't tell them what characters to have, they'd be lost." Now my rebbudle will go unposted, for various reasons, but mostly because I said nothing, the group I had played with before almost tore this kid apart, you don't tell the player of a 7-foot tall wolf man (dog boy)he's a loser because we as a party made a lot of jokes about him being our wookie, something he agreed with and went along with, or the sniper in our group being "straight from COD". Maybe he was mad because everyone from his 4e group wanted to come play rifts with me, or maybe it was because he wanted to be leader of the gaming club and no one else wanted him to be, or anyone for that matter, to be leader. If you have questions about our club hierarchy let me know, I enjoy talking about our government of geeks. [/QUOTE]
