Thank you! Just a quick question about the Mega Powers List: The one I purchased for Fantasy grounds seems to have different information than the PDF. For instance, "Greater Blast" is listed as +4 PP to convert the damage from d6 to d10 (so, 3d10), but the one in Fantasy grounds just lists it as 4d6, 5d6 with a raise for an extra +4. Which source is accurate? That's just one example. I'm trying to figure out if my PDF is outdated or if something changed after you pushed out the module for FG.

Thanks again.

Have you downloaded the latest PDF? I think the latest update only just landed on DriveThru but its been on PEGINC website for a few weeks now.

Haha. Probably not. I take it mine is outdated. I thought that was extremely powerful for that spell.

The update brings it more in-line with Powers in the Fantasy Companion and latest SWADE update (but still keeps some of the OTT Rift stuff, although some of it got nerfed)

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post699253 See this about Mega Powers.

I just pushed an update that brings the new versions of Blaster, Improved Blaster and Expert Blaster to the Tomorrow Legion Players Guide - the old versions have been named (Legacy) for those that want to keep them.

Coming soon....

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...1&d=1701002532

I have converted all the TLPG images to webp and gone back and remade them so the colours are not faded like they are now. This will go live once the new version of FG Rulesets goes out (the one in Test channel now). Aside from better quality images, the file size is significantly smaller for the new version of the module - old was 21 mb, new is 6.8mb.

Eventually I will get around to this on all the other Rifts stuff.

Oh and as much as I love Pinnacle, their maps are not very good for a VTT. So I am adding Player Maps for everything, starting with the maps in Savage Foes of North America - nothing spectacular but no bitmaps showing where the NPCs should be and a huge hex grid 1 hex = 60 yards covering the map

This is so true. I feel like they included the maps to give the GM an idea of how to set up the battle, possibly for an in-person game, with no thought to how they might be used in a VTT. The scales also pretty insane. 60 yards for a single hex.

Thanks for all of your hard work on this (and the images). Looking forward to the updates.

The published maps in the books may actually be layered. Not in the book, mind you, but what Pinnacle has so you might want to contact them to see if they might have a map you can use for this purpose without the grid and GM annotations on it. I've gotten maps from them before for purposes like this (although I didn't need a modified map, just a higher resolution one than what was in the PDF) so as long as you let them know what you need and what you will be using it for they may be happy to help you out there if they can. Might be worth a shot to check with them, at least

I have most of the PSD files for the art in all the Rifts stuff, unfortunately some of the older images (especially the maps) are just bitmaps.

However, I don't mind making maps in FG, simple enough to draw over the Pinnacle images and then export as a bitmap.

I have added an Effect in Blood and Banes GM Guide for Demonic Animals - select a normal animal, add it to the Combat Tracker and then add the Effect and it is effectively a Demon (boosted Traits, Skills, Toughness, Armor etc.). Coming soon.

Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide got an update (coming Tuesday) - most of the images are webp and better quality too, and some other updates (check out the Combat tab and Armor on your character sheets).

North America map got a big update in Game Masters Handbook ;)

Hello and happy new year :)
It seems like a "New Framework" sneaked in :)

Happy New Year!

That is a new special Framework called "New Framework". Its so powerful it has no stats. I better hide it for now 藍

Talking of New Frameworks... Demigod seems quite good in Land of a Thousand Islands. That should be done in a couple of weeks followed by Terror on the Dark Frontier "box set" a month or so later.

Keep your ears peeled in case it returns unexpectedly.

Just pushed an update for The Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide.

Reference Manual is now more organised and split into Chapters, so its not one massive list of pages.

Frameworks now appear in the Character sidebar (along with Hindrances, Edges, etc). That was bugging me for a while and I finally took the time to figure it out.

With the new update (coming next Tuesday) when you Crit Fail, the output message will suggest you roll on the Technical Difficulty table (if driving, using any Rifts Technology etc., as per the Setting Rule).

When I figure out how to make it add the table to Chat like it does when a Vehicle gets hit etc., I will add that, but not yet, not yet.

it looks like the PSI-Stalker Frame work has gone Walkabout them dogboys finally do something right?

(all joking aside reported on the discord by Theowl88 — Today at 5:11 PM
Psi-Stalker framework disappeared and the characters that used that framework everything says new entry.

Camberme GM — Today at 5:13 PM
let me check mine
well, I dont have any Stalkers build ofc. but I also can't see it in framework.
sounds like a forum post should be done
it's still in the handbook at least

So I see the reason there is no Psi-Stalker Framework. It is because Psi-Stalker is a Race not a Framework... It was early when I first responded to this.

I don't know if this belongs here, but I noticed that a few of the characters in the Deadlands: The Weird West Archetypes sets have capitalized letters where they shouldn't be. The Mad Scientist's "Bad Eyes" hindrance is spelled "Bad EyEs", the Bounty Hunter's "Arrogant" hindrance is spelled "ArrogAnt", and the Cowgirl's "Overconfident" hindrance is spelled "OvercOnfidence". It's only in the module and not the character sheet, so it doesn't affect gameplay, but it does make the system itself look kind of sloppy.

So that would be a Deadlands issue, make a new post as a bug report with some screenshots.

This might have something to do with font changes from an all capitals font.

I pushed a hotfix to address this

Past QA and now in the final stretch..

Checkout FT-005 Flying Titan entry for SWAT ability. Looks wrong as the ability name is missing. What has happened here is m3l should have put that effect on the weapon rather that a new line.

Fixed. Thanks

The Savage Rifts - Empires of Humanity doesn't have any Item entries for all the Gear for the NPC's listed under Allies and Adversaries.

for example if you call up the Coalition Commando from NPC's within FGU and look at the gear.. it lists them having CA-7 Special Forces "Deadboy" EBA.. but if you go into items in FGU, this armor is not available as an item. Now its not listed in the items section in the Empires of Humanity PDF, but I did find out that it's originally from the Coalition Field Manual, but that PDF is no longer available from Pinnacle and was apparently replaced by the Empires of Humanity source book

In case you missed it Terror.on the Dark Frontier "Box Set" is out. The best Savage Rifta work so far in my opinion.

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store...hp?id=S2P11222

Lots of new gear for CS Troops added (including stuff only listed on NPCs), 2.5D figures and a.lot of other shinies.

Next will be the Savage Rifta One-Sheets (they will go on The Forge for free).

In the Tome of Destiny adventure in The Tomorrow Legions Field Manual, Lieutenant Sebastian Cross NPC entry for being in his Samas power armor don't include the Samas's Weapon Systems.

Fixed (but not pushed to Live yet).

Thanks.
