INTRODUCTION
Welcome all to the world of North Dakota. The land of excitement
and danger. Where you are free to walk around as long as you
have the biggest weapon. This land is full of mystery an
intrigue. Technology runs rampant here, while psionics and magic
take a back seat. This is where you can get out from under the
Coalitions yoke of tyranny, an enjoy life. Granted it won't be
an easy life, but it will be a fulfilled life. This is the land
where things are a little different than the rest, where what
appears to be a good guy or a good thing isn't.
Depending on the success of this book I might come out with world
books for Lazlo, the North Pole, and a revised edition of Mutants
in Orbit. Here is just a little bit of what I have in store for
Mutants in Orbit: Ants dominate Mars threaten the entire galaxy,
further information and stats on McCoy, an more of ARCHIES latest
developments. If you have any ideas and want a few suggestions,
E-mail and I will be glad to help you in anyway I can. Also I
would like to tell you that I could not put graphics in this
version due to time. If I would have put graphics in this
version you would be receiving this book around Christmas time.
The only graphics in this book is a map, which is not inside this
book but zipped up with it.
Please excuse any errors you might find in this book, this is
only my first version and book to be made so their is bound to be
some mistakes that I missed. If you see any Major mistakes
please E-mail if you can, and let me know what is the problem.

Letters from Erin Tarn 101 P.A. circa
Dear loyal Readers,
As I was on my way to the western coast I
stopped in a town called Lazarus. The reason I mention this is
because most of the locals were D-Bee's! I had finally come upon
a town that was ruled by D-Bee's, and the local humans totally
accepted their rule. Upon entering the town I was greeted by a
pair of Gromeks who escorted me to their king. The town was
compact, it seemed the town was more worried about being
functional and defensive capabilities, than cleanliness and
beautification. In fact it looked like the town was under siege,
everybody I saw carried some sort of weapon. Most people I
passed gave me a nervous glance, if any at all, and quickened
their pace a little to get away from me. I was shocked to see a
beautiful clean marbled structure in front of me. It had gold
trimming on everything. It was a weird sight to see this
structure surrounded by a sea of filth and trash. I was not
surprised to find out that this was the King's palace. Their
king was an impressive specimen. I would guess him to be a very
powerful fighter even in his own race. The Gromek king's name
was Grog. Grog tried to be gracious and polite host but his
rough demeanor kept slipping out. The Gromek seemed to be
concerned about something, for they kept asking me weird
questions about my loyalty and where I have been. I couldn't
help but feel that through all their questioning that I felt like
a Coalition prisoner right before they get set on torturing me, I
wouldn't want to feel that way ever again. When I told them who
I was their face seemed to lighten a little. The King asked me
to stay for awhile, and document what I saw happening in his
town. Even though I wanted to go to the western coast, my old
investigator inside me got the better of me and I agreed. My
visits around town lead me to the conclusion that the Gromek view
themselves as the savior of Earth, and that the Coalition is
trying to destroy the Earth, an all life on it. The Gromek are a
little over confident, they feel given enough time they could
defeat the Coalition. Sadly I feel that the Gromek are a
misguided lot. I tried to make them understand the vast
resources the Coalition has, and that if the Coalition wanted to
they could crush this town within a blink of an eye. They would
hear none of it. I think most citizens realize this and are
always looking over their shoulder waiting for the Coalition to
appear just over the horizon, an end their security. I am told
their is another town called Bismark about 150 miles west of
here, and since it is on my way to the coast, I plan on stopping
there. I can hardly wait, for it is said that Bismark is a
beautiful city where humans and D-bee's get along peacefully too.
Hello again, I am currently writing this letter in a luxurious 4
room suite located in Bismark's finest hotel, thanks to the city
council. I know I shouldn't of accepted this room, but hey an
old girl needs a vacation every now and then. The council has
given me many guided tours throughout the city in the last week.
Everything I see is clean, even the garbage is clean! I have
seen many beautiful homes and shops this past week. It feels
like the town has opened up its heart just for me, it feels like
one long party. I can't help but get the feeling that something
is missing from all this niceties, I don't know maybe its me,
maybe I'm not used to people feeling good about themselves for
once. I can't shake this feeling so I have decided to sneak out
tomorrow morning and go on my own personal tour.
Hello there, I finally figured out what was missing in this town.
It was the poor downtrodden people that make a city complete.
Every city has got them, but it seemed this one didn't. As I
told you two days ago I planned to go on my own secret tour, and
well I did. What I saw shocked me, it took me awhile to find it,
I had found the bad part of town. This part of town was dirty
and unkempt. Buildings were decaying and crumbling, there was
litter and refuse scattered on all of the streets and sidewalks.
It seemed these were the forgotten people, an indeed they were!
When I asked the town council about these people they denied
their existence! Here the people lived day to day hoping to find
a meal in the refuse that littered the streets, and if finding
food wasn't hard enough the people had to worry about gangs that
wandered the streets beating and killing people for whatever
meager possessions they had. My heart goes out to those people.
Also their was another strange thing about this town, their was
almost no magic whatsoever. The one magic shop I did manage to
find was meager at best. It seems the citizens are afraid of
magic, this could be the weak point in Bismark's armor. For if
the Coalition ever decided to attack, Bismark would need all help
they could get. Both Bismark and Lazarus have rather high
technology level for such small towns, but they cannot compete
against the Coalitions raw numbers. I fear that eventually when
the Coalition gets around to it, these D-Bee sympathizers will be
exterminated. Finally another thing that puzzles me, how could
these two towns have such high levels of technology. Bismark has
advanced medical treatment along with a very good communication
network. Lazarus has advanced weapon technology. Nothing they
did or said suggested that they developed or found this
technology. When I asked Bismark's council I was told they got
their weapons from Lazarus, and the medicine was always here.
Later that day, one of the council members approached me. I
remember seeing his face during the meeting but he never said
anything, he just observed. He told me his name was Texder
Worthington and that he was a Techno-Wizard! At last, finally
somebody that was skilled in the art of magic. He made me
promise never to tell anybody in Bismark what he was or what he
was about to say. Of course I agreed to his deal. Texder told
me that both towns are secretly being supplied by a man named
McCoy. McCoy sets up a contact in a city and deliver his goods
to that contact, who would then secretly release the goods to the
open market. The funny thing is that both towns governments are
unaware of any of this. They are told it was captured goods or
found items. But in most cases they are told they are goods from
a neighboring town. I tried to get him to explain more, but he
would say no more. I can't help but get the feeling that he
knows more than he is saying. I would've investigated for this
McCoy person myself, but I had to get to the west coast before
winter. Two things puzzle me about North Dakota, one who is this
McCoy and how has he acquired this technology, and two there is
something strange going on in the Badlands, I have heard too many
tales of horror of this place, there has to be something there.
Still people enter into the Badlands in search of gold, never to
be seen again, while others come out but are in some ways dead
already. I hope to investigate North Dakota further on my trip
back. See you soon

Lands
The Badlands
From all outside appearances the badlands looks the same as it
was in Pre-Rift time. It is still dry and desolate with little
or no growth. The land was carved out from ancient rivers. Most
people stay away from the Badlands, their are rumors that a clan
of Faerie Folk have taken up residency in the carved out rocks.
Recently a new rumor has been spreading across North Dakota, like
a fire across a dry prairie. According to rumor an old miner
from pre-rift days went into the Badlands in search of gold.
After a couple of years the man found the mother load.
Unfortunately all he had was a mule to carry out the gold, so he
only carried out a small percentage. Before he could return to
get the rest of the gold, he died of an illness. So to this day
people are still trying to find the gold mine. At least 1,000
expeditions have gone into the badlands searching for gold. Most
of the adventurers have not returned. The people that are able
to return have a distant look in their eyes, and walk clumsily
like they are not watching where they are going. Kind of like a
person who saw something so horrific that they went into shock
and still hasn't come out yet. Even though people don't comeback
it hasn't stopped people from going into the badlands. People
are willing to risk their lives just so it might be easier later
on in life.
There are indeed faerie folk living in the Badlands. They are
delighted about all these new visitors, they are so much fun to
play with. There are roughly 30,000 faerie folk living in the
badlands. The rumor about the gold is somewhat false, there is
indeed a gold mine out there somewhere, but a supernatural
intelligence called Arpita started the rumors. It uses the gold
to lure people into the badlands where it captures them an turns
them into his minions. Currently Arpita has 10,000 minions. 90%
of his minions are located in the
Badlands while the rest are scattered throughout North America,
one famous one is located in Lazlo where it sells trips into the
Badlands. Right now Arpita is working in secrecy, it will not
try to do anything that might reveal itself to the outside world,
especially the Coalition. Another danger, unknown to the rest of
the world that is in the Badlands is the Inuit. The Inuits are
dead Indians who were buried on sacred ground and their graves
were disturbed. They are doomed forever to eternal restlessness
never leaving this plane of existence. Some of the Inuits take
their revenge on anyone who happens to come by, while
others try to help travelers avoid the Supernatural Intelligence,
the faerie folk, and other dangers. Also their are some Inuits
who pretend that they are helping but in reality are leading them
to the Supernatural Intelligence. Also unknown to the outside is
a group of ghosts who call themselves the Seventh Cavalry. They
are lead by a general with long wavy blonde hair. They roam the
Badlands forever patrolling, keeping out invaders (anyone inside
the badlands is viewed as a invader), and fighting any Inuit they
see. The two groups of ghosts are mortal enemies. They fight
each other on sight. The Seventh Cavalry ride atop of black
horse that skin appears to be rotting away. The Cavalry were
tattered blue uniforms with a blue duster. They carry what looks
like Pre-Rift rifles and pistols.
Number of Faerie Folk
70% common Faerie
10% Brownie
5% Bogies
5% Night-elves
5% Silver Bells
5% Others
Carimine Forest
This Forest is a mysterious place. It is said that gigantic
insects run amuck in this place. Even though these rumors are
widespread, there is no actual evidence of this. The forest is
not dangerous in fact it is relatively peaceful. The forest is
almost totally void of supernatural monsters and D-bee's. The
forest is sparsely populated by humans though, due to the near
impossibility of farming in the forest have kept their numbers
down too. For some strange reason the trees in the forest are
mega-damage creatures. It is very expensive to cut the trees
down and to make them into useful lumber.
- Truth about Carimine Forest*
The reason why their is an absence of supernatural life in the
forest is because of the presence of the Xiticix in the town of
Xaxxle. They have successfully managed to drive out most
creatures. The reasons why the trees are mega-damage is unknown.
Some say that a Millennium Tree grows somewhere inside the
forest, and it has affect its neighboring trees. This reason is
doubtful though, due to the lack of ley lines in the area.
Others say that these trees aren't regular trees but instead are
similar trees that originated from a similar dimension.
Oak-450 M.D. Main Body A branch is
Pine-300 M.D. Main Body about 10 M.D.
Spruce-280 M.D. Main Body for all trees
If the tree is cut down it loses its mega-damage properties, and
it becomes regular wood (S.D.C.).
River Plains
This area is the cradle of civilization in North Dakota. It is
here that McCoyville and Bismark rose from the ashes to become
major players in North Dakota. The plains are the surrounding
area around North Dakota's major river known simply as "The
River". This area is very fertile due to the seasonal rains and
flooding, the area is home to 75% of the former states
agriculture. It is here where you will most often encounter an
Agriculturist going about doing his business. The plains consist
of both humanity and D-bee's.

D-Bees
Lazarus-20,000 Humans, 1,000 Elves, 8,000 Gromek, and
100,000 D-bees
Descriptions
Bismark-This city is actually located 50 miles northeast of the
original city. This city is a haven for humans and D-bees alike.
The town is run by a group of elected officials called the
Council, which is voted in every 3 years. The biggest building
in the town is 10 stories high. Technology level is early 21st
Century. While communication is good inside the town it is
virtually impossible to send a message to someone outside of town
without having to deliver it yourself, or use magic. The people
of Bismark work hard to keep their city in good shape.
Vandalizing carries a stiff fine with a possible two years in
prison. Their main trading partner is Lazarus. Bismark trades
medicine, foodstuff, and raw materials to Lazarus, in return
Lazarus gives weapons, armor, and ammunition. These two cities
have had a trade agreement for the last 10 years. Bismark
specializes in medicine, on almost any block you will find some
sort of medical treatment area. While they can perform
cybernetic and bionic surgery, they don't do it often. It is
frowned upon by the citizens, they prefer to remain natural and
unaltered if they can help it. The citizens are
unaware that the reason for their safety is McCoyville located
200 miles north of Bismark. When traveling through Bismark you
will find many varieties of shops and restaurants, but their are
virtually no magic shops located in Bismark you will have to look
hard and long to find one and when you do find one it will be
small with inexpensive trinkets. Located in Bismark is a poor
section that is kept hidden to most people, in it contains almost
anything money can buy. Gangs rule the area with little or no
police force to protect the people.
Guardian-This is a Coalition base put their after an assault on
McCoyville. While they think that McCoyville has been destroyed,
if they were ever to find out that it still exists they would
send millions of troops into North Dakota to annihilate the town
once and for all. Most Coalition soldiers view Guardian as a
punishment due to the relative lack of any action compared to
other bases. Indeed their have been no major skirmishes since
the Battle of McCoyville 8 years ago. Emperor Prosek does have
many plans to conquer North Dakota, he views that it is easier to
attack the Xiticix from two fronts instead of one. But right now
other matters currently occupies the military's time and men.
Lazarus-This little town is extremely militaristic. It cannot
support itself, it must trade with neighboring towns for
supplies. The Gromek are the ruling class of Lazarus. The other
races are subservient to the Gromek, including humans. The
reason for this is that with the Coalition so close, D-bees and
humans need security so they are willing to be ruled by the
Gromek so that they will be safe. The Gromek have plans of
attacking the Guardian outpost, but for now they are still
preparing for this. Unfortunately the Gromek underestimate the
power of the Coalition. The Guardian outpost could easily crush
Lazarus if they wanted to, but currently their orders tell them
to stay put.
McCoyville-Once this town was a prosperous city with over a
million inhabitants. The city was run by a body-fixer named Jim
McCoy. At the time McCoy was unaware of the evils of the
Coalition. McCoy entered into a trade agreement with Chi-Town.
McCoy gave them medicine an advanced electronic equipment. The
Coalition wanted more and more at lower prices, when McCoy tried
to break off the trade agreement, Prosek threatened to attack
McCoyville. McCoy was forced to keep the trade agreement. All
was well for awhile, but something went wrong. Somebody tried to
kill Prosek, they wrongly accused McCoy of sponsoring the attack.
They declared war on McCoy. The Coalition sent two armored
divisions to annihilate McCoyville. McCoy and the townspeople
fought bravely, and were keeping the Coalition from taking over
the city. McCoy knew that the Coalition would never give up, and
that his own supplies were dwindling. The citizens slowly
retreated to the center of the town where McCoy's main factory
was. The Coalition had
them pinned down inside the factory, soon they would have to
surrender, victory was theirs. The first indication that
something was wrong was when a huge power laser beam 300ft in
diameter shot toward the sky, vaporizing anything in its path.
This action confused the Coalitions commander, for they could not
understand why McCoy didn't aim it at them. About 20 minutes
later the citizens inside the factory stopped firing. The
Coalition commander ordered the invasion of the factory to
commence. That is when all hell broke loose, the factory
exploded taking most of the Coalition troops and town with it.
When reinforcements arrived there were only 20 soldiers left
alive, and all of them badly injured. There were no signs of the
citizens anywhere to be found. Coalition scientists found the
area to be bathed in high level radiation and stated that the
inhabitants if any left could not possibly survive for very long.
Unknown to the Coalition was that for the last 25 years McCoy and
his brothers had been building a space station. On the last day
of the attack the station was capable of supporting life. It
took all the nuclear power they had but they were able to fire
the huge super laser into space to clear away a path through the
debris and satellites. Using modified Behemoths with booster
rockets, McCoy was able to launch his citizens into space.
McCoys brother who is a Shifter was able to open a rift that
opened into the station, which allowed even more people to get to
the station. When all of the citizens were out of the factory
McCoy ignited the salvaged nuclear bombs that McCoy found in an
old ruined town called Omaha. The nuclear blast took out the
upper levels of the factory, and most of the town. What the
Coalition didn't know was that the majority of the factory was
located deep underground, it was able to escape the blast
relatively unharmed. McCoy returned to Earth and repaired the
damage to the lower levels and reopened the factory. This time
though, it was to be used to finish the space station. To this
day the only people that live in McCoyville are located deep
underground, and are only there to work in the factory. Recently
in the last year McCoy began to reassert himself in North Dakota.
He quietly started to sell weapons and equipment to towns and
small
cities that had enough money. McCoy does not plan on relocating
back on Earth, the space station is his permanent home.
Minor Cities in North Dakota
Town population-
Minot-2,000 humans and 200 D-bees
Ft. Yates-4,000 humans and 1,000 D-bees
Arena-3,000 D-bees, 100 humans, and 250 Gromek
New Town-1,000 humans and 600 d-bees
Xaxxle-500 Xiticix
Fariton-600 humans and 300 D-bees?
Descriptions
Minot-This city survived the Rifts relatively intact, only to be
destroyed by roving band of D-bees. Some former inhabitants
decide to stay and rebuild their city. Minot is a farming town,
they trade their crops for weapons from Lazarus. Minotens are
weary of strangers, they distrust any D-bee, and will run them
out of town. The only d-bees in town are slaves who work in the
fields. Any d-bee who is captured or commits a crime (it is very
easy for a d-bee to commit a crime in this town), will be sent to
the fields to work for life. These people are not evil, they are
just scared they will lose their homes again. They feel this is
the only way to survive. Ft. Yates-This city also survived intact
during the Rifts. This city is an aging military power in North
Dakota. Right after the Rifts and about 150 years
afterwards Ft. Yates controlled all of North Dakota. But they
were slow in developing new technology, and passed in the arms
race. Their empire slowly started to crumble until all they
controlled was their own city. The citizens still view
themselves as the rulers of North Dakota. Their military
contains mostly upgraded B-52's and aged Glitter Boys(60% of
armor gone). The city is also crumbling due to the years of
neglect an infighting. The town is ruled by the Council of
Generals who is lead by the Grand Marshal. 80% of the government
officials are corrupt. When the Council makes laws they apply to
all of North
Dakota even though the rest of North Dakota might not be aware of
this. Ft. Yates still has roving police still wandering the land
handing out punishment and fines to all lawbreakers.
Arena-This town started out a small outpost for the Gromek, but
soon other D-bee's found out about the outpost and fled there,
hoping to find security. The Gromek don't mind these people as
long as they pay taxes, in return they protect the D-bees from
outside dangers. The town is totally without any laws. It is
survival of the fittest inside this town. As long as they don't
bother the Gromek they can do whatever they want. The only
humans in this town are slaves to the d-bees. Their is no
organization in the planning of the town. Wherever you want to
build you can, in fact you will see houses on top of older
houses in some crowded areas. Even the houses don't look
similar, each one is different and varied depending on the
persons race.
New Town-This town was first settled by Ft. Yates back in the
height of its power. Since then though they have grown fiercely
independent. They work hard to be totally independent of
everyone else. If asked to join any group or federation of
cities they will not accept under any condition. Even if faced
with certain death if they don't join, they would still do it
alone. The town is largely an agriculture society not much in
the way of industry or trade. The weapons they use are handed
down from father to son to son and so on. It is not uncommon for
a person to use a 200 year old laser rifle.
Xaxxle-This is the farthest west Xiticix has ever been.
Currently no other city is aware of the Xiticix. If allowed to
get a foothold in North Dakota, they might never be able to get
them out. Luckily the colony is pretty small and does not
contain a queen yet. The Xiticix will try to keep their location
secret for as long as they can, meaning no prisoners whatsoever
not even as slaves.
Fariton-Their is a huge energy dome surrounding the entire town
and surrounding fields. This dome is bluish clear, and can take
up to 2,000 M.D. and can regenerate at 1D6*10 M.D.C. a round.
Somehow the inhabitants can get out of the dome without shutting
it off the dome. No outsider has ever been able to get inside
the dome, or if they had they've never came out to talk about it.
No one knows for sure who inhabits the town, most people think
humans live inside the dome, along with a few d-bees.

HP-4 "Flechette"
The flechette is a dart that planes release at high altitude,
these darts can actually teat a man apart. They were used in WWI
for awhile, now in Rifts time McCoy Ind. has brought them back
but with a new twist, they now are vibrodarts. The darts are
housed in an 8' by 4' box holding 200 darts that effect a 1,000
square feet. These can be used instead of bombs.

flying by it discharges disc shaped grenades. It can be used by
anything that can fire short range missiles. Mega-Damage: 1D4
M.D. per disc, will do 3D4*10 to a 50ft. radius, the missile does
have a warhead that does 1D4*10 M.D. to a 20ft. radius once all
the discs have been ejected the warhead will explode sending
shrapnel hurtling to the
ground. Total blast diameter is 400 feet.
M.D.C.: 5

ARMOR
McCoy Ind. armors names are based on the old state names. As of
now there are 20 different types of body armor. The following
are the most popular selections All armor is full environmental
suits and comes with everything listed in the Rifts RPG under the
armor section
The Illinois
This is the best protection McCoy Ind. has to offer. The armor
is lightweight using secret metal technology. It also takes
advantage of an exoskeleton that lightens the weight the user has
to endure.
M.D.C.: 80
Weight user feels: 10lbs
Excellent Mobility-No penalties, also PC can lift 1.5 times their
PS and can run two times longer than normal.
Cost: 50,000 credits
Weapon Systems
1. Mini-Missile Launcher-There is a mini missile placed on each
side of the helmet. While
this may be a little scary for a user it serves two purposes.
1. It allows your head to aim and guide the missile kind
of like a TOW missile but
without the cable. +2 to strike
2. If character is hit in the head which will probably
result in death, the missiles will
explode, destroying the armor. Thus not allowing
others to study the Armor. Can
use any missile type.
The Rhode Island
This is a lightly armored inexpensive model. It has two
searchlights mounted on the helmet instead of missiles.
M.D.C.: 40
Weight: 12lbs
Good Mobility: -5% to prowl
Cost: 20,000 credits
The Texas
This armor looks slightly like a bull. It has what looks like to
be two 2 foot tall horns jutting out of the helmet. In actuality
these horns are sensor antennas. This armor comes with radar,
infrared and ultraviolet optics, and thermo-imaging. It also has
a radio. You can use all these features through a HUD put
located in the visor. The antennas have 100 M.D.C. each
M.D.C.: 50
Weight: 18lbs
Poor Mobility: -15% to prowl
Cost: 28,000 credits
The Arkansas
This armor is a close second to the Illinois in protection.
instead of missiles though it has two head mounted laser, 2D6
M.D. each. +2 to strike.
M.D.C.: 70
Weight: 18lbs
Excellent Mobility: -2% to prowl
Cost: 45,000 credits
It also has a retractable vibroclaw located in the right arm.
The Florida
This is a medium armored suit. It can be used in space, on land,
or in the water thanks largely to the tiny strategically placed
thrusters. In space it can fly at 45 mph, in water 15 mph, and
on land it doubles your speed, and you can run twice as far. The
thrusters are powered by a nuclear battery located in the lower
back area. The only problem is that the thrusters have to be
cleaned at least once a week or the thrusters get clogged causing
a malfunction. There is a 1-10% per week that the thrusters will
explode causing 1D6 M.D. to the occupant if the thrusters are not
cleaned. If it doesn't explode than it just doesn't function
till cleaned.
M.D.C.: 55
Weight: 19lbs
Excellent Mobility: No penalties
Cost: 35,000 credits
The Michigan
This armor is probably the most heavily armed armor McCoy Ind.
has to offer. The only drawback is that to keep the weight down
they had to sacrifice armor. They even put an exoskeleton to
lighten the load (no bonuses). But don't underestimate this
armor, it may be small but it packs a punch.
M.D.C.: 35
Weight user feels: 40lbs
Poor Mobility: -15% to prowl
Cost: 60,000 credits
Weapon Systems
1. Mini-Missiles: same as the Illinois
2. Retractable vibroclaws on each arm
3. High-intensity laser: This is located on top of the helmet,
3D6 M.D. Range: 600 feet
4. Grenade Launcher: Located on the sidearm of the right arm.
Holds 6 grenades 5D6
M.D. Range: 500 feet
Equipment
McCoy Ind. makes a wide variety of equipment that you can find in
the Rifts RPG. Along with those items they also make these
items:
Flying Video Camera
Camera is placed in an aerodynamically shaped container that
resemble a very small helicopter(1 foot long). The camera can
record for three hours, or it can relay what it sees instantly
back to the operator who has to be within 100 miles If camera is
in record mode it can fly 500 miles away and still return to
user. One of the advantages of the relay mode is that the user
can fly the camera himself, changing courses whenever he wants.
In record mode it follows set directions loaded in before
takeoff. This camera comes with a joystick and Foot Pedals.
Maximum Speed: 120 mph
5 year nuclear battery
Cost: 10,000 credits
Lazer Bather
This is an energy field that is no bigger than a door. You walk
through the field and it cleans you. The scientific explanation
is this: The field comes within a millionth of an inch of your
skin, vaporizing anything it passes (even clothes if you forget
to take them off). The Lazer Bather comes with special caps to
wear to protect your hair. The only problem is that fiendish
assassins have been known to tamper with the Bather, and when
someone walks through they are vaporized. They also use it has a
trap due to the almost invisible
appearance of the field(1-10% chance of detecting in full light,
or 1-40% chance of detecting in the dark. The Bather is usually
installed in the bathroom.
Cost: 20,000 credits
NOTE: Doctors like to use these to sterilize themselves in an
instant.
Papersuits
These suits are made of tough paper fibers. The suits are made
for those PC's who are constantly in armor or power armor. It is
not big and bulky, it is quick to get into an you don't have to
worry about what to wear (nobody is going to notice what you wear
when you are inside armor). The suit is not recommended for
daily wear, for after all it is still paper, it also is
unattractive. The suits are a one piece suit that comes in many
different colors.
Cost: pack of 20 is 200 credits
Lancer Plane
Name: McCoy Enterprises Lancer PF-1a
Crew: 2(pilot and a gunner)both are Lancer pilots

missiles.
2. Bomb Pods(optional)-These can be on at the same time as the
missile pods. You can
use these for high altitude bombing or if you don't need
precision bombing. Each pod

- Experimental bombs have not been fully tested so consquently
there are still a few problems. If doing a complicated manuever
or flying at high altitude roll a D20 and on a roll of 20 the
bombs all ignite, do damage accordingly. When dropping the bombs
roll a D10 and on a roll of 0, 1D4 bombs are a dud. Roll this
for each pod.

McCoy RJ-2 Power Armor
This armor is very simple in design, it was one of McCoy's first
attempts. The RJ-2 major advantages is that it is light and
fast, but it had to sacrifice armaments and armor to achieve
this. Its major purpose was recon and espionage, it is quiet and
efficient. The wings extend outwards from the engine, when not
in flight mode the wings slide back into the engine like a phone
antennae. The wings can open out in one attack, and pilot can
fly during the same attack. The choice of colors are blue,
black, and red.

Coalition MX-34 Raider
The Coalition built this power armor after their disastoruous
victory at McCoyville. The raider is small for a power armor,
but that is an advantage for this armor was built for urban
combat. This armor easily walk down streets and alleys. Also
the power armor can work effectively inside regular buildings, so
the Coalition uses this armor for security also inside the
Guarduan base. The armor only has three fixed weapons, there are
areas where you can put other weapons on for a short period of
time.

the native Americans, worshipped in some areas, feared in others.
They dress in tribal outfits, with feathers and tattoos being a
common sight. Inuits are highly conservation and environmentally

for invisibility). See Seventh Calvary men for more details on
death and dying.

CyberWarrior
About 60 years ago the Cyberwarriors were created as an offshoot
to the Cyberknights. The CyberWarriors were similar to the
Cyberknights, but were more concerned with raw combat. They were
also mostly unprincipled. Their numbers remained few up until
five years ago. Their numbers since have tripled, and are still
growing. The CyberWarrior are all good, a good comparison
between the CyberWarriors and the Cyberknight would be the
Knights of Camelot and the Rival Cavaliers. The CyberWarriors
are a rowdy bunch who love a good scrap and never back down.
They are nowhere near as civilized or intelligent as the
Cyberknight Training: Unlike the Cyberknights, all CyberWarrior
have to train with a high level CyberWarrior for at least two
years. The teacher teaches them all they need to know. This
warrior must be of at least 6th level.

Role of the Cyberknights
No one group is more honored, more loved than the
Cyberknight. People view them as the saviors of humanity and
protector of the downtrodden (d-bee's). Most communities will
openly aid a Cyberknight anyway they can. When a Cyberknight
rides into town, the people forget about their fears for a little
while an enjoy life. In fact holovids glamorize the Cyberknights
depicting them as the hero of the land, and defender of justice.
In truth the reason for the Cyberknights fame is because of
the Silver Rangers. Silver Rangers are the unsung hero's of
North Dakota. They often travel alone, roaming the countryside,
righting wrongs. They travel into town, solve the problem, then
leave (sort of like the Lone Ranger). Because the Silver Rangers
don't stick around for to long the people think they were
Cyberknights, since they helped the town like a Cyberknight
should..
The Cyberknights in North Dakota are a little different than
the one's found roaming the land outside of Dakota. The knights
are more aloof and more snobbish than normal. They view
themselves as above the rest of the population, and that people
will always need saving. They think the people couldn't live
without the aid of the knight (for a better description think of
Derek Crownguard from the Dragonlance novels transplanted to the
Rifts Dimension).
The main population of Cyberknights are located in the
Gregor Monastery, this is not the famed Lord Coake monastery.
Here the knights are trained in the ways of knighthood. The
monastery is lead by an 11th level Cyberknight named J.T. Falcon.
Currently Falcon is trying to assemble an army of Cyberknights .
Right now he has 1,500
knights, and will have 4,000 more in the following year. As soon
as Falcon has assembled enough men (roughly 10,000), he will wage
war against evil Supernatural creatures and any evil kingdom.
Unfortunately once these foes are dispatched in North Dakota
Falcon will try to make North Dakota his kingdom. There are only
humans in the Monastery, Falcon will not allow any non-humans to
join the ranks of Cyberknights. Any outside Cyberknight will
feel a little out of place around these Cyberknights. Outside
Cyberknights will not try to stop Falcon until it is too late to
do anything.
The following is different about the North Dakota Cyberknight
than the normal one found in the Rifts RPG.
1. To live- is the same
2. Fair play- Same unless you are non-human, then the
Cyberknight will do the things he
would normally not do
3. Nobility- Same as 2
4. Valor- Same as 2
5. Honor- Same as 2
6. Courtesy- Same as 2
7. Same as 2
Silver Ranger O.C.C.
The Silver Rangers are an organization of men and women dedicated
to helping people survive the terrible plots of fiendish
characters. The Rangers are of sort of like the Cyberknights
except the Rangers help a person or a small town, while the
knights will help an area or a big city, usually ignoring the
pleas of a single person or small town. The Rangers are usually
very quiet, speaking only when needed to. The Rangers carry out
their duty and leave often before they can be given thanks.
Rangers are not in this business for glory or to make money,
instead they do their jobs because if they didn't no one else
would do it. They will not except money from people no matter
what, instead they will accept food and lodging for the night.

ISP: 1D6*10/1D6*10+20
PPE: 1D6*10
MDC/HIT POINTS: 1D3*100
Horror Factor: 14
Alignment: Any but usually anarchist or evil
In every species there is always a sect of them that the rest of
the species dislikes, i.e. the Gully Dwarves, Dark Elves, Nazi's,
and so on. The dragons are no exception to this statement.
Dragons look down upon the Brahmagupta due to their weak minds
and physical abilities, but you should never judge a book by its
cover. The Brahmagupta are arguably the most powerful dragon
that have step foot on Earth. That wasn't always the case
though, the Brahmaguptas were the weakest dragons. That all
changed the day the a power hungry Shifter happen to come across
their dimension. The Brahmagupta were dying off, they weren't
able to adapt to their changing planet. The shifter enslaved the
dragons with the promise of a new world and the power to be the
strongest dragons known to the universe. The Shifter had come
across an ancient spell believed to be created by the Old Ones,
but the shifter doesn't know, or care. The spell creates an
amulet that gives the shifter the powers of the wearer, and gives
the wearer power too. Until now the Shifter couldn't find any
willing dragons (since only dragon may wear the amulet), until he
found the Brahmagupta. Once the dragon puts on the amulet he
can't remove it unless it truly never intends to wear it again,
in which case he will lose the powers given to it by the amulet
(the powers are on the right side of slashes). Until now their
were only 6 Brahmagupta's on Earth, but now their are over 700
Brahmagupta's that have the amulet.
Due to the suddenness of attaining power some of the Brahmagupta
have gone insane. These few (35) insane dragons have led people
to believe that the entire race of Brahma's are insane monsters
that love to kill. Most armies are instructed to kill Brahma's
on sight. The other race's of dragons are disgusted and shocked
that a dragon would actually use a humans device to gain power.
Some dragons will actively hunt down Brahma's.
Natural Abilities
1. Nightvision: 200 feet. Bio-regenerate: 1D4*10 Mega-damage
every 5 minutes, with
amulet it's 1D6*10 every minute. See the invisible, fire
and cold resistant
2. Acid Breath: 3D6 M.D.
4. Metamorphis: Same as Great horned Dragon
5. Amulet: The amulet increases the wearers abilities (right
side of slash), it increase speed
by 15 mph (flying and running). Also increases PPE by 130
and ISP by 100. What the
dragons don't know is that the shifter can exert his will
over the dragon any time,
forcing the dragon to do what he wants. What the shifter
does not know is that with
every amulet he makes a little part of himself goes into
the amulet. So if he keeps
making amulets he will eventually die, and with his death
all the amulets will lose their
power. Also dragon acquires a few of shifter's spells due
to the Amulet. Pick 10 of
the following spells:
SENSE PPE, SENSE MAGIC, TURN DEAD, TRANCE, CHAMELEON,
CONCEALMENT, SHADOW MELD, TIME SLIP, CALL LIGHTNING, CONSTRAIN
BEINGS, SUMMON AND CONTROL CANINES, SUMMON LESSER BEINGS,
FIREBALL, LIFE DRAIN, CLOSE RIFT, CALM STORM.
R.C.C. Skills: At first level can select 5 skills, but is
automatically literate in Dragonese (98%), and knows Basic: Math
at 98%.
Psionics: Considered a minor psionic and knows Mind Block,
Telepathy, Sixth Sense, and See Aura. With the Amulet dragon
becomes a Major Psionic, and knows the following:
Telekinesis (super), Psi-Sword, Alter Aura, Empathy, Object Read,
Death Trance, and Hydrokinesis.
Spells: Knows no spells at 1st level other than the ones the
amulet gives it. Can learn two new spells at every other level
starting at 2nd level.

Coalition Commando
Attribute Requirement: IQ: 15, PS: 12, PP: 18
Attribute Bonuses: 1D4 to PS, PP, and PE
Due to the disaster of the McCoy raid in which two divisions were
wiped out, the Coalition hired a group of analyst to figure out
what went wrong with the invasion. After many months they
deduced that the enemy was given enough time to prepare for a
large assault, if the Coalition had sent in a small group of
specialized soldiers it would have been possible for the
Coalition to of won that battle without that high of a casualty
rate. Emperor Prosek agreed to this theory, an immediately set
up a training program to created commandos. The soldiers were
chosen from the finest available personnel, no matter how much
political clout you had, if you weren't the best you weren't
going to get in.
The commandos go where no other could go without a 1,000
other soldiers backing him up. They are assigned the most
dangerous task, and are often not given a lot of support in
succeeding. Yet somehow they do, the commandos have the least
casualties out of all the divisions. In their off time they
often act immature or get into a lot of fights. To outsiders
this appears to be that these people are just plain brutes, but
that is not true.
That is the only way they know how to let out some steam after a
very dangerous mission.
While on a mission they lose that immature attitude and become
downright serious, not allowing mistakes to happen.

Flesh looks like it is rotting away in some places, you can see
bone in other places. They wear what appears to be late 19th
century American military uniforms. The clothing looks tattered,
but somehow it manages to stay on. The Calvary men were killed
while fighting Indians, and buried by an Indian Shaman who had
put a curse on them. When the rifts erupted, it triggered the
curse, they are doomed to forever walk this land never dying, but
always in pain. Forever doing their duty ridding Indians and
guarding their land. Consequently they will attack Indians on
sight and attack anyone in the Badlands besides another Calvary
men.
Both the Inuit and Calvary men have human emotions, and act
pretty much like humans would. The Inuits live in tribes with a
leader an a Shaman, while the Calvary men will in outpost lead by
a Commander. Both races will venture out of the Badlands if they
want to. Also both races cannot die but when their hit points
are reduced to 0 they go into a stasis until they regenerate all
their hit points, not before. When a Inuit or Calvary men loses
double their hit points they die, but not in the same sense that
a human would die. They are sucked into a different plane of
existence where their is no substance, just endless darkness.
The soul is in constant pain, but the character will never find
the source of the pain. The character can still think and has
thoughts but he can't move or use any powers, he is just their.
If a character goes to this plane their is no way of coming back,
pick new character.

remedies for stomach aches, and stuff like that. Most Old Time

Agriculturist R.C.C.
The Agriculturist is sort of like the African Rain Maker, he
wanders around the countryside aiding farmers. He helps keep
away drought and pestilence too. If a farmer see's or hears
that a Agriculturist is near his farm, he will do anything to
get him to visit his farm and help his crop. Most Agriculturists
are kind and will do the services for a small fee, but still
there are others that are selfish or evil and demand high sums of
money or other valuables.
The Agriculturist is the modern day Johnny Appleseed, spreading
seeds inhospitable land.
Nothing gives greater joy than watching a sapling grow for a
Agriculturist. About 99% of the Agriculturist are vegetarians
preferring not to eat meat, but the excess of plants.
Consequently most Agriculturist are very passive not killing
animals, and are always trying to solve a conflict without
sorting to violence. This means that the Agriculturist will
always be the last one to fire.

Arpita. They have normal intelligence and are capable of
complicated thought. The commandant are chosen by infecting
strong evil humans. Arpita still can enforce his will on the
commandant, but he rarely does it. The commandant is usually
accompanied by at least 10 workers. There is only one commandant
for every 1,000 workers, currently there are 10 commandants.

Skills: Same as the Mind Melter
The Aiite Master is second-in-command to Arpita. The master
enjoys total freedom, Arpita can enforce his will, but won't do
that. The Aiite master is confronted by Arpita through the
Astral Plane. Arpita offers unlimited power to the master, if
master agrees he transforms into the Aiite Master. In return
Arpita gains a foothold into that dimension. The master is
totally ruthless, doing whatever it takes to gain more minions.
He will sometimes appear to be kind and offering help only to
betray you when you are at your weakest. The master is always
accompanied by at least 60 workers. The masters true appearance
is that of a red energy cloud. It often times appears to be an
attractive human.
Currently the Aiite Master is known as the Elegant Man, his name
is Lyle Benz. See NPC section for further details.
Infection
Aiites don't create other Aiites like Vampires do, instead they
have to have the Rod of Power. The Rod of Power appears to be
made of wood. It is about 11 inches long. It looks like a
wooden dagger. In actuality the Rod is part of the Aiite. About
a month after the human becomes an Aiite, the Rod will grow out
of his back falling off about a week later.
The Aiite infects a person by plunging the Rod into the
chest of the victim. The maximum damage the Rod can is 120
mega-damage. The Rod can sense what a person is and what he is
wearing, the calculates what it would take to bust through the
humans defenses and that is how much the human will take. The
human rolls vs. infection at a 18, if he fail he immediately
transform into an Aiite. Reroll attributes and the characters
only retains a selected amount of skills (see character you
intend to be).
Since the Rod is part of the Aiite, he will automatically
know where it is no matter how far away it is. The infection
only works when an Aiite wields the Rod, if a non-Aiite uses it
as a weapon it does 1D6 S.D.C. The Rod only takes damage from
gold, the Rod will be destroyed when it receives 80 hit points
in damage. If the Rod is destroyed the Aiite suffers a loss of
80 hit points, which it cannot regenerate until it grows a new
one. The Aiite will grow a new one after a month. Every time a
Aiite infects a person he receives 10 hit points.

I.S.P: 1D10*10
P.P.E.: 1D6*10
MEGA-DAMAGE/HIT POINTS: 1D4*100+100
HORROR FACTOR: 20
ALIGNMENT: ANY but usually selfish or evil some are good.
NATURAL ABILITIES:
1. Mesmerize-This power is sort of like the spell the Kingpriest
of Istar uses in the
Dragonlance Legends series. People remember the horror and
fear of seeing the
Dragon but won't remember the exact details of the Dragon.
2. Death Sense-The Dragon is able to sense, through the use of
P.P.E., where
there is going to be major amounts of deaths occurring. This
sense tell
exactly where or when it is going to happen or who is going to
die. It is
more like a force that pulls the Dragon to the place of
oncoming death. If
you are a little confused about this then you should read the
book JAWS, and
how the mammoth shark hunts. That hunting instinct is a good
depiction of
how this ability works.
3. Soul Trap-This is not what the rumors make it out to be.
Instead of entrapping the soul,
it absorbs the released P.P.E. that creatures emanate upon
death. This is different that
most other creatures that use P.P.E. to function, instead of
only using a small amount of
that released energy and having to use it right away, the
Dragon will store all the
released energy and can store for up to 2 months. Their is a
limit to how much P.P.E.
the Dragon can store, the limit is 800 P.P.E. Their is two
ways the Dragon can
use this P.P.E.
A. P.P.E. Discharge-This is the release of all the stored
P.P.E. at one
time. This discharge inflicts 1D6+10 M.D.C. to the
Dragon itself.
Once it leaves the Dragons body if forms an oddly
shaped 50 foot ball
of energy that can only go in a straight line for 2,000
feet.
1st 500ft. is 3d6*10 M.D.C. to anyone hit
2nd 500ft. is 2D6*10 M.D.C.
3rd 500ft. is 1d6*10 M.D.C.
4th 500ft. is 4d6 M.D.C.
Any creature that is not directly in the way of the ball
feel a slight
tingly sensation. Also any creature that feeds off P.P.E.
will feel
stronger for 1D4 rounds, and have a bonus 1D10 M.D. to
their main body
B. P.P.E. Withdrawal-The scales can hold the P.P.E. for up
to 2 months
and while this the Dragon can use the P.P.E. anyway it
wishes.
Also when a Dragon reaches 5th level it is able to manipulate
P.P.E. even
better than before. It is able to mold P.P.E. into a solid
object that
resembles anything the Dragon wants it to look like. The
object can walk
and do simple tasks. But the creation is actually a shell of
what it is made
to resemble, it can't talk or think, and it shall die out
after a month.
The Dragon has total control over his own creation. Cost to
create one is
100 P.P.E.
4. Smoke of Anger-If the Dragon is running low on P.P.E. or
hasn't come upon
any deaths yet it will probably resort to this attack in order
get more
P.P.E. If a character fails a roll vs. spell at -4 then they
fall into a
Rage, attacking anything it sees except the Dragon. The smoke
cloud is
actually a very fine mist that covers a 100ft radius for 1D6
rounds.
5. Feed off P.P.E.- When people die their P.P.E. is released from
their body.
P.P.E. is doubled at time of death. The dragon is able to
absorb any P.P.E.
within a 100ft radius.
FLAWS:
Death Dragons don't like ley lines or Nexus points. This is due
to the fact that their scales overload in their attempt to absorb
all the P.P.E. If the Dragons is to close to a ley line (500ft.)
it will eventually die.
1st minute: Dragon is slightly dizzy -2 to strike, parry, and
dodge
2nd minute: Burning sensation on Dragons scales
3rd minute: Pain increasing Dragon takes 1D6*10 M.D.C.
4th minute: Pain intense take 3D6*10 M.D.C.
5th minute: Roll vs. unconsciousness take 3D10*10 M.D.C.
6th minute: Roll vs. Death take 6D10*10 M.D.C.
7th minute: Dragon explodes
If dragon dies at any stage his P.P.E. will be released at triple
the range and damage of the P.P.E. Discharge ability. Also blast
is not in just one direction it occurs in all directions, their
is no chance to dodge this blast.
SKILLS
Same as all other Dragons, read page 98 of base book for list.
PSIONICS
Dragon considered a minor psionic due to their inability to
manipulate their powers so that they can gain powers. The powers
that they had at birth are the only ones they can have. Pick 7

Initially Dragon will learn spell that will help it disable

any spells that
has to do with rifts or Dimensional travel, this also
includes pocket and
so on.

BACKGROUND
The Death Dragons are the one of the most rarest and mysterious
of all Dragons known to mankind. They have been seen only a few
times in the last 5 years. When Death Dragons (DD for short) are
seen it is usually over a battlefield or over a town that will be
destroyed. That is DD got their names, they seem to be
harbingers of destruction, wherever they went their seem to be
death. This made DD look like evil beasts that kill people and
suck their soul into a Hellish-like imprisonment, and they were
only released to be eaten by the DD.
These rumors are somewhat true, but due to peoples fear have
blown out of proportion. It is not entirely impossible to hear
tales of villages leaving at the sight or rumor of a DD nearby.
If you managed to ever talk to a Dragon about DD, they seem
indifferent and won't answer your question.
WHERE THE DEATH DRAGONS CAME FROM
The DD's are from the unknown planet Dragii. The planet is
nearing extinction due to the overpopulation of DD's.
Fortunately for the DD's (and unfortunately for the shifter) a
shifter happened to come across Dragii through a mistake a create
rift spell. The DD's killed the shifter immediately. The DD's
using the last of their P.P.E. were able to keep the rift open
long enough for a few hundred DD's to escape to Earth. The
Dragons they left behind will probably die out within 50 years
unless they are able to find away to get off the planet.

WHAT COUNTS AS A KILL:
Any Mechanoid counts as a kill, Any power armor or robot counts
also. Death Heads count for two kills. As time goes on the
kills necessary to achieve an award or medal will double.
BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION:
The Lancer are a squadron of pilots that originated in Lazlo.
They were created when the council felt that an attack from the
Coalition was imminent. They picked the best men available and
trained them to become pilots of the new experimental plane. The
Lancer has to be quick thinking and be able to endure vast
amounts of stress both physically and mentally. Currently there
are only 50 pilots and 35 planes. The council is still not sure
if they should continue making Lancer fighters. As of right now
there is only one squadron of 15 planes permanently stationed in
Lazlo. The rest are deployed in either pairs or by
themselves, throughout Old America. Whether the Pilots succeed
or not will determine if they will continue making Lancers.
FUTURE:
The future depends on you. If you succeed then there is a good
chance the Lancers will reach full production. If you
continually fail than the project will be scrapped. While low
level pilots will be posted Lazlo protecting it from evil D-Bees
and Humans. Once you reach scout status you will be sent out
fighting in the name of Lazlo, capturing wanted criminals and
thwarting enemies of Lazlo. As the Coalition turns their
attention to Lazlo you will be asked to fly more missions against
the Coalition. These ideas are entirely up to the GM. But
sooner or Later you should realize that the Coalition will attack
Lazlo.

Rapid Fly NPC
About ten years ago the rapid fly was the plague of the land,
they destroyed crops and spread disease and death. The rapid
flies origin is unknown to the human population, but it is
theorized that they came from some huge super dimension where
these insects were normal like a bug is to us. The rapid flies
have a voracious appetite eating eight times their own body
weight each hour. A horde of rapid flies have been known to
destroy an entire crop in under an hour. The flies are not
sentient they react just like any other insect, their main
concerns are to eat and to reproduce. If they are alone an
attacked their main objective is to escape. The rapid flies are
much more confident when they are in large groups, they are much
more likely to attack instead of retreating. Another problem
with the rapid fly is that they carry an unknown virus that is
believed to be a regular cold in their own dimension, but on
Earth this virus is deadly. As of right now their is no known
cure for this virus that local inhabitants call the "chills".

Notes about Surround Areas By Erin Tarn 1004 P.A.
South Dakota
South Dakota is truly an evil place. It is said a Supernatural
Intelligence has enslaved the population there and made it a
haven for D-Bee's. Many, are the tales of atrocities by the
hands of Monsters. It is said that they have set up camps for
humans to die in. This brings back memories of Auschwitz in the
1940's. Right now North Dakota cities are not powerful enough to
help. The Coalition either does not know or care about the
human's plight in South Dakota. The Coalition has yet to lift a
finger to help.
Minnesota
Minnesota is almost barren of with Tolkeen being the only
exception. The Xiticix have tripled their size in the last three
years, threatening to decimate all of humanity in Minnesota and
the surrounding areas. Fortunately Prosek has realized that his
own empire is threatened, and has called a truce between the
Coalition and Tolkeen. Together they hope to defeat the Xiticix.
Sadly once the Xiticix have been defeated the Coalition will
resume its siege of Tolkeen. I fear for Tolkeen, for now they
have to fight two enemies.
Montana
Montana is a haven for humanity. Too far away for the Coalition
to have any influence on them, the inhabitants live peacefully.
The only problem is the Magic zone located in the western portion
of the old state, but even that is not a major problem. The zone
is controlled by a 26th level Great Horned dragon. He considers
the zone to be his domain, nothing can come in or out without his
approval. Only once has anything ever escaped from the zone.
The ones lucky enough were a group of Death Dragons, an only a
small number at that (300). I see Montana as the next great
civilization waiting to happen. The people here are a hard
working industrious lot. While their tech-level is low (19th
century, they are eagerly learning everything thing they can. It
will be interesting to see if they can survive with all this doom
and despair surrounding them.
Winnipeg (Canada) Not by Erin Tarn
Winnipeg is a hustling trade town of the Splugorth. Relatively
few outsiders know about this town. Splynncryth set this town up
a few years back in the hopes to corner the market in technology
in the Northwest. So far his plan is working very well. That
could all change if the Coalition were to get wind of this town.
The paranoid leaders of Chit-Town will not allow a threat like
that so close to its borders. Chi-town would forget about other
plans of invasions an attack Winnipeg until it is just ashes.
The town defenses consist of two Dragon Dreadnoughts, 20 Creax
armored Rovers, 10 Insecton Land Rovers, 50 Kittani Serpent
Power Armors, and 25 Equestrian Power Armors.
Reactions by other Powers
This is how other powers would react upon learning about
McCoyville and Space Station.
Coalition: If the Coalition was ever to learn that McCoyville
still exists they would send in three divisions to utterly
destroy McCoyville. They would also occupy all of North Dakota
to ensure that McCoyville will never again rise from the ashes.
If they were to find out about the Space Station, they would
immediately ally themselves with the New German Republic. They
will order their scientists to find away of getting into space,
so that they can dispatch with this threat. The paranoid leaders
of the Coalition would unite the human population, forgetting
about past differences and set them on a common goal to destroy
the space station.
New German Republic: The NGR would not care about McCoyville and
might actually try to trade with them. If they were to find out
about the Station, they would become extremely interested in
getting the technology to get up there. They would do anything
to get that technology, even if means helping the Coalition
destroy McCoyville.
Mechanoids: The Mechanoids would not care about McCoyville,
seeing it as to far away to do anything. If they find out about
the station they too would become extremely interested. They
would view the space station as a way to contact their fellow
Mechanoids. They would too would do almost anything to get up
their.
ARCHIE Seven: Upon learning about such a powerful station so
close to the moon, he would forge an alliance with the rest of
the stations in order to destroy the station. ARCHIE and the
other stations cannot allow Earthlings to get a foothold in
space. They do not want evil monsters and humans to destroy
their environment like they did on Earth so long ago.
Atlantis: If Atlantis was to learn about McCoyville, Splynncryth
would like to enter a trade agreement with the to further is
strength in the Northeast. But if they don't agree he will not
push the matter not wanting anyone to find out about Winnipeg.
The station would be of little interest to him, for Earth is the
true commodity for him.
This is how other powers would react upon learning about
Winnipeg.
Coalition: They would do an all out attack on this city not
stopping until Winnipeg is destroyed. The Coalition cannot
allow the Splugorth so close to their borders.
NGR: To far away to make any difference. They might supply
Coalition with some +weapons.
McCoy: McCoy has been to Atlantis, and knows that the Splugorth
are ruthless traders. He will start a private war with Winnipeg,
trying to make Splynncryth give up on the idea of a Northeastern
trading region.
Mechanoids: Don't care.
This is how other powers would react upon learning about Arpita
Coalition: They would immediately occupy North Dakota, they
cannot something this powerful so close to their borders.
Atlantis: They would not try and prevent Arpita's growth unless
it interferes with their trading in Winnipeg. If it does
interfere Splynncryth will send an army into the Badlands to
wipeout Arpita and his minions.
Atlanteans: They would treat Arpita and his minions the same way
they treat vampires.
NPC
- Note, these are the updated an official versions of these
characters*
Jim McCoy
McCoy was born in Lazlo where he lived for 16 years. While
living in Lazlo he learned that not all D-bee's are evil and that
sometimes humans are more evil. His parents encouraged learning
and free thinking. On his 16th birthday he left Lazlo to wander
the world. McCoy learned he liked to help people, and that
killing was a terrible thing. After several years he returned to
Lazlo, where he was elected to the Congress of Electorate.
During his term he worked hard to ease the pain of many. McCoy
retired from office when his mother a Mind Melter was killed by
an unidentified army. McCoy wandered the world for many years
unsure of what to do next. McCoy settled in a small valley in
North
Dakota, where he began to build a company. While in Dakota McCoy
followed up on one of his dreams, and that was to create an
artificial life. His first version Jorgenson, Jorgenson was a
Neural Intelligence. While Jorgenson was good, McCoy felt he
could do better. He was creating a robot, when the Coalition
invaded his town. One of the Coalitions missiles hit a sensitive
part of his factory. In the chaos that pursued, McCoy essence
was transferred to the robot. McCoy fled Earth seeking the
safety of his station. McCoy has not come done yet, and probably
will never come done unless it is an emergency.

Texder Worthington
Texder is the second oldest brother of the Holloway family,
second only to McCoy. Texder lead a life different than the rest
of his brothers. Unlike their more aggressive ways, Texder
learned the difficult art of magic. One thing that was same with
all the brothers was that he liked to build things, Texder found
that with the aid of magic he could make his machinery better
than normal. Texder developed this art, and became a head
technician to the McCoy complex in North Dakota. Texder did not
flee to the space station like the rest of the citizens, instead
he left the valley and headed to Lazarus. After a few years
Texder was elected to the council where he secretly supplies the
town with supplies an arms from McCoy's factories. Texder does
not use his magical powers in public and has not told anybody in

to booster his legions of undead troops. So far the most popular

Adventure Ideas
1. The group sets out to explore the Badlands looking for gold.
They are introduced to many different things inside the Badlands.
The final scene should be against the Supernatural Intelligence.
They don't have to beat the Supernatural Intelligence though.
This mission is mainly used to introduce the characters to the
dangers of the Badlands.
2. This one works well for a group of Silver Rangers. A Death
Dragon appears over the town the PC's are staying in. The
townspeople freak out at the sight of the Dragon. It is the
Rangers job to calm the people down before a riot breaks out.
Also they have to get rid of the Dragon, and to see why it came.
The rangers find out that an ancient (350 year old) device has
been activated, and has been digging its way up to the surface
for the last 50 years. The technology is far superior than
anything known to man. It is up to you to decide what is so
dangerous about it, and where it came from.
3. You are a Lancer Pilot sent out on your first mission outside
of Lazlo. You spot a group of Coalition soldiers shooting at an
unarmed human. Pilot should decide to help the human. The human
turns out to be an Aiite Commandant and thanks to he pilot he has
prevented the soldiers from killing it. Pilot must survive the
battle and prevent the oncoming destruction of a nearby town.
4. The group comes across a battlescene, their are human bodies
everywhere. There are two different sets of tracks leading off
in two directions. One set appears to be human, while the other
looks to be mechanized. If PC's follow the human tracks they
will discover the humans are Minions of Arpita, and will have to
survive the engagement. If PC's follow the mechanized tracks
they will find a 15 foot tall human surrounded by robots and
power armors. If PC's approach group they find out the humans
name is McCoy and robots PA's are his. This is just the
beginning part there are many ways you can finish this adventure.
