Thanks for the help!

These are great hooks! Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback.

Greetings from beyond the rifts! I'm working up ideas for a campaign into the Federation of Magic and I have a few questions. How do NPCs react to characters? Are magic-users automatically accepted? Are outsiders universally hated, or does the Federation actively seek new members? Thanks in advance!

Nice pics!

Here's some more vampire-specific ideas for Juarez. It's election time in Juarez and this election is being hotly contested. One candidate for Chief of Police, Hernan Lugo, is claiming their opponent, Monika Greco, is unfit for the office, as their wealth is inherited ill gotten gains from a Pr...

Greetings, Rifters! I'm prepping to run an adventure in Ciudad Juarez for a while. I'm going through the Vampire Kingdoms books now to get ready and I thought I would reach out to the community for suggestions. Have you had any success running adventures in Ciudad Juarez? Even if you haven't do you ...

I wound up having the group recover a Phase Beamer and an anti-grav harness. They don't have access to other Phase World tech, so this made for a nice discovery.

What he said!

Here's a video to help people with this question as well.

Thanks for the chart. Lots of great ideas there!

Greetings, Rifters!

My players are about to explore a crashed ship, so I was trying to come up with something cool for them to discover inside. The idea is that it is a crashed scout ship on Earth and they find a cool artifact or something after clearing it out.

Thanks in advance for the help!

How to start your first RIFTS game: https://youtu.be/oLOM95nchf8

if i remember, the pre-war project was cancelled due to human rights concerns, so they might have put them aside until they knew what legally to do with them and....well, forgot. it's possible any number of people would have found the facility, raised the tube babies and ended up founding anything ...

as I remember the general lore, while the US was doing some experiments on genetic engineering it was really the south american countries that took the tech and ran with it. (more bang for the buck for them) as far as dogboy pack/clan enclaves I would toss out the idea that they "escaped"...

Greetings Rifters, I've managed to plot myself into a corner by having my players discover frozen dogboy embryos in a pre-RIFTS research facility that they were exploring. It was just a throwaway moment that I thought would be cool and also reveal the fact that there were early dogboy experiments th...

Since I like to share, some things about psi-stalkers in Houstown: In addition to humans, there's a sizable population of psi-stalkers (6400) who live in and around the city. Many congregate in the city center, fighting monsters and entities, bringing out occasional bits of Pre-Rifts loot to sell f...

WB1: Vampire Kingdoms has some solid Texico area police stats. Page 130 should be of some use. that the first edition or second edition? Page reference is for Revised. Both versions include the same info, though not on the same pages I'm sure. This was exactly what I was looking for. The example gi...

Thanks for the feedback. There are lots of knowledgeable Rifters here, so I wanted as much input as possible before I commit everything to writing.

Thanks for the response! I'll check it out.

I made a video for this topic a little while back. Feel free to check it out!

Greetings, Rifters! I'm prepping an adventure dealing with gang and clan warfare in the Lone Star territory and I am trying to find examples of a typical police or law enforcement response team. For example, this adventure will be placed in Houstown as some clan heads are in town to meet with each o...

Greetings, Rifters! I'm running an encounter this weekend with a group of ne'er-do-wells and I like the idea of a robot mechanic being used by the group. My question is as follows, are there robots specifically used as repair mechanics or should I just modify an existing one for the purpose? Thanks ...

...and the recent Arcana and Mysticism a... I didn't see this in the recently released nor the coming soon of the PB OL Store.....is it somewhere else there? Yes, as Narcissus stated above. Those are from the Savage Rifts line. Personally, I don't use the Savage Worlds system, but some of those SWA...

I was hoping there might be something hidden in a RIFTER or one of the dimension books somewhere. Oh, well.

Thanks for the response.

Greetings, Rifters. I'd like to use some elements of Psyscape in one of my current campaigns. I'm trying to go through every resource I can find for more information on Psyscape lore and plots of any kind. Besides the Psyscape worldbook, Aftermath, and the recent Arcana and Mysticism are there any o...

Darn...y'beat me to it! (I love reminding people that Panama is part of North America!)

Doh!

These are really great, by the way. I've been sharing them with my players, when applicable.

Keep up the good work!

Greetings, rifters. I am searching for a sourcebook that may not exist, but if there is one, hopefully you can help point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find a collection of magic tomes or ancient books that might be very valuable on Rifts earth. I have an ISS spy who traveled through Sout...

Lots of great Psyscape ideas in this thread. I wonder why there weren't many follow ups to WB12? Psyscape is a really fascinating piece of Rifts.

This is going to be really long... so you might want to copy it into Word to read at your leisure. The basic premise was this: following the Four Horseman adventure, King Arthuu declairs a Crusade against the monsters in Egypt. So he calls upon all of the local kingdoms of Europe to gather together...

I'm trying to think up the various ways in which a vampire might be able to cross into North America, somehow bypassing the Rio Grande or other moving bodies of water. For instance, would someone who was in the process of dying and then changing into a vampire first be able to cross the river? Thank...

Welcome, new poster! It isn't so much that the Chiang-Ku gets an O.C.C., but gets access to spells and limited skills from an O.C.C.. Most other hatchlings are similarly able to learn spells from one or more traditions, and while several give examples of what's common among that species traditions ...
