I did. It's awesome. i love them both. Best Rifts books since New West. but they could have used more city information for the major Demon Cities, and some more maps.
Angryjack wrote:anyway I'm looking at china 1.. the demons are all strangely written up and quite powerful.. . but..
i think they're wonderfully creative. better than most of the other monsters who are basically just MDC claw attacks on legs.

what ever happened to the Fox spirits from Mystic china?
they're still in Mystic China. What's the question?

I can't wait to steal that book from you, RoadWarrior. I'm reading China 1 right now, and I love it!!! On the other hand, I'm going to explode if China 2 doesn't live up to the expectations that you have been building up in me for months...Oh yeah, and they recieved our article today. I called 'em.

Not according to Rifts Australia.
Earthquakes can cause land to rise as well as fall after all.

"Shrug" didn't know it was mentioned in the down under book. Oh well I was just remembering the tidal waves and the whole Atlantis makes the ocean rise shtick.

*Sigh*
More forgotten continuity.

Aside from the Geofront, Demon Queller subclasses & a couple of new weapons, it was like reading Mystic China & Rifts: Japan all over again.

So do they still have the Temple teaching Psi-Warriors or did that get dropped too?

and for my own edification, Doom, woudl you please ether tell us what was said about Hong kong or give me an aprox. page number?
I was positive it was in some sort of "foreign relations" section but I just can't find the bloody thing.
It's just a small blurb.

unfortunately there was very little written about Korea. Something about it being a 'Hermit Kingdom'.

In Psyscape it states that there is a Psi Warrior training facility in a packet dimension that is very China-like, named Xanadou, or something to that extent. It never actually says that there is a temple in China.

Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea."
