Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nytmare" data-source="post: 8259952" data-attributes="member: 55178">I absolutely love the setting of Rifts.  I have never ever ever come across a game that someone else was running however that sat well with me.The first time I ever tried a play by post forum game, it was a Rifts Atlantis "Splugorth prison break" game.  For those not familiar, they're one of the introductory bad guy "cover of the base book" monsters.  A race of interdimensional slavers who live in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, who capture people and perform terrifying turn-them-into-monsters experiments on them.The GM told us to all make our characters separately, but to make sure that we focused on role-play over roll-play because he wanted interesting characters, not just gonzo over the top powers and combat abilities.So I used the "make a Splugorth monster" rules and made a super depressed human sculptor who had been captured by the Splugorth and had his arms lopped off and replaced with sentient lobster claws.  Intro session, the rest of the party goes supernova (if I remember correctly it was Mecha-godzilla, a Scarecrow/Burster (immune to any damage but fire/pyrokinetic psychic who is immune to all fire damage, and Kitt, the car from Knightrider).  They level the prison, free all the slaves, sink most of the island, and completely murderlate all of the evil slaver monsters before my character has even had a chance to mope around and sigh dramatically.I didn't bother sticking around for the rest of the campaign.</blockquote>
