Rifter articles that have been published in other sourcebooks

[Splodem]

Hi there,

I’ve been familiar with Palladium Books and mostly Rifts since the mid 90s. In the past year I was big with the Palladium bug and have been buying books left and right. I’d say I own probably 90% of Palladium’s books. With that said, I’ve recently been getting into the Rifter books, and I know that some of the articles found in these books may later be published in a sourcebook. I am Legion for example. Has anyone compiled a list of the articles that have been adopted into a mainline book of any of their lines? It would make it a lot easier when trying to decide whether to get a particular Rifter issue with so many of them available.

I’ve skimmed through books when it comes to some articles because I’m telling myself that some of this stuff is so important, it has to be covered. For example, issues 6 and 12 have information for Palladium Fantasy in regards to Assassin’s Guilds and equipment. Maybe I missed it, but I haven’t seen that covered in a sourcebook (although I haven’t dug extremely deep into this), and this seems like something that would be covered in great detail.

So again, is there any place where someone has compiled a list of Rifter articles that were later published in main sourcebook? Honestly, I’d be more than happy to contribute to that list with what I am aware of, but wanted to ask first if something like that already exists. Thanks.

So here are the articles I’m aware of that have reprinted in other sourcebooks. I’m sure there is much more than this. If anyone has details in regards to changes that may have been made in transfer, please share:

The Rifts: Chaos Earth and Nightbane hardcover Rulebooks have Rifter content as well, but I’m unaware of what it is. I also know that some of the Powers from the Heroes Unlimited Powers Articles were used in the Powers Sourcebooks, but I’m unsure of which ones, and if they were tweaked. I’ll need to dig deeper.
