Officially started the second campaign for my Rifts game. Bringing three new players, who have never played Rifts before, into the fold of the MegaVerse. I kind of want more players to experience this ultimate gaming system that I find especially awesome. So, I have brought three new players into the game, they are joined by two of my previous Rifts gamers and a third gamer who has previous experience with the Palladium system. The new players are Brian, Jessica, and Chris, the two veterens are Jayson and Luis, and the third gamer is Ed. In this summer session of Rifts, the group will consist of the following O.C.C.s:
Jessica (Jesse) - Female Human Headhunter
Brian - Male Tribal Mystic (Ojibwa)
Chris - Male D-Bee Merc Soldier (Avione)
Luis - Male Mutant Professional Theif (Dogboy)
Jayson - Male Human Nazca Rune Warrior
Ed - Male D-Bee Gunslinger (Quick Flex Alien)
I am not sure if I have all the spelling correct.
I started them out by making them make saves versus drugs, it was to get them unconscious as to have the NPCs kidnap them and get them to their base of operations. They regained consciousness and they saw four Chassuer Verts torturing a human. They threw him into one of the three cells that occupied the floor they were on. The PCs being in the other two. The cells were 10' by 20', bars made of MDC material and electrified, kind of magical as well. Luis's character heard a buzz when they opened the cell, and another when they had closed the door to the cell. He informed the other PCs and Ed's character was looking up and noticed something that looked like a bad soldering joint. He got on the shoulders of Jesse's character and punched the spot where the joint was, it took him awhile to hit the right spot, but when he did, he recieved a jolt for his efforts. He had sustained quite a bit of SDC damage since everyone was without their gear, weapons, and armor. The kidnappers however had overlooked Jesse's character's wrist needles, which they used to pick the lock of the cell since Ed's character had disabled the electricity through all the cells. Once out, he looked for what was in the large room and spied two smaller rooms tucked away in the corner where there was no light. Jayson's character being an MDC creature, broke down his cell door making a lot of noise. Everyone heard things moving about above them. Jayson's character, wanting his staff, broke down one of the room doors while Jesse's character, after picking the cell lock, picked the other room door. In the room that was picked open, was all their gear, plus shelves and shelves full of other gear. In the room that was broken into, was all their weapons, armor and shelves of all kinds of weapons, armor and miscellaneous of varying degrees of dustiness.
This is where we left off, since we had also done character creation a little past game start, then we went and got some food, all in all, I thought it was a good start. Combat will be interesting when we return.
