HA!
I have one that beats you all!
But only because IT WAS USED!!!!!
Now then, back when Rifts was only up to WB4, my friends and I were in our usual gaming spot, just talking about nothing as we prepared to game. I picked up a "to be released" RPG ad mag (don't ask for name, it was too long ago) and started flipping through it, when I came across this full page ad from our friends at Palladium. The illustration for the ad came from Rifts: WB3, page 68. It was unedited. It also, surprisingly, was not for Rifts. Instead, it was for the Palladium Fantasy Role Playing line! Yes, I kid you not!. Not only that, but it was run a couple more times after my initial discovery!
