Does rolling a 1 on a saving throw mean you automatically fail, even if with bonuses you could beat the saving throw target number? The only reference in RUE to a 1 being a critical failure is on a strike roll (RUE 346): "A roll of one always misses regardless of bonuses." Otherwise a nat...

Great project. Thank you. I would go year first and month second. Makes it easier to skim down the list. Thanks for pointing that out. It was kind of messy to skim because of the fact that the years didn't align. I think I figured out a better way to organize it. I am putting everything into a tabl...

I only have three: magic net, carpet of adhesion, and invisibility: superior. Everything else is just gravy when your foes are immobilized and cannot act. I can disappear from anything too big to magic net and go find a glitter boy to kill it for me.

The rules state that ALL full conversion borgs must have their brain located in their heads. This is stupid, when considering that the Main Body would be the most logical and efficient method to keep a borg in a fight. This makes so much sense.

A quick glance at some of the dates you have outstanding could be confirmed by the review (e.g. Titan Robotics is May 2023, Manhunters Apri...

What is it that you just loved from the original Rifts main book? What did you find novel and unique? What are your most exciting memories? What is something that didn't work for you or felt awkward? What was your first character or GM experience like? I first encountered Rifts in 1997. It was a com...

1. Because humans are very uninteresting mechanically, I let human player characters pick two abilities to add +1d6 or one to add +2d6. If this makes an ability above a 16, they can roll for an exceptional ability, as usual, to a maximum of 30. 2. To speed up combat, I have players declare all their...

Edit Note: I am currently reworking this list into a table, which takes a little effort. If you find it too messy to read, come back later. I am endeavoring to provide a complete list of all Rifts® books and supplemental materials by publish date. I would appreciate any help from the community that ...
