It just hit me while reading the thread on our favorite Rifts world books. Rifts is the Time of a Thousand Magics preceding the war with the Old Ones. Every Rifts book (neearly) has both new schools of magic. One cannot sneeze without hitting an Alien Intelligence in rifts. The war with the Old Ones is coming up (relatively?) soon in Rifts.

The war with the Old Ones happened a long before the Time of a Thousand Magics.

So, Rifts is the Time of a Thousand Magics. Still works.

I'm lost...

one slip though, the time of a thousand magics were dominated by the elf dwarf wars long before humanity came to be more the stone throwers

SO long as the full sentence is "So, rifts is the time of a thousand magics for rifts earth." I would agree with this.

That is hilarious! I had already decided that Palladium Fantasy was the distant future of my Rifts game which is why I made travel to and from there screw around with peoples watches and biological clocks and always make them arrive earlier or later than when they had left.

Loveit!

I like the concept, don't get me wrong... But I can't buy that.

No matter how much apocalyptic action went down, somewhere, there would still be evidence of RIFTS past on the planet. Instead of going into caves and caverns to find ancient dragon hoards, you'd find Archie's ancient petrified remains and caches of useless laser weapons. There would be evidence left, even millions of years later, even if it was tiny. So, if you're only talking a few thousand years or tens of thousands of years, there would still be significant evidence everywhere.

SO, I'd say if you are going to run that type of set up, it's sounds cool, but be sure to include special relics like fossilized Glitter Boys and locations like say Chi-Town ruins. Who's to say the Golden City of Baalgor wasn't Tolkeen or something... But you gotta have evidence to make it believable.

Thanks. I'm glad I'm not the only one making such a ludicrous leap.
