Sorry brain cramp.
That was Psyscape.

I blame the pain killers. :)

Someone should ask NMI about that.

But if your interseted in playing, most of the books have no particular timeline. the specific times "gameworld time" are Main book, Rifts Africa, small jump to Juicer Uprising, leading right into war machine, then a small break befor siege on tolkien. Everything else is kinda happening at the same time.

See, what I / we wanted was the order the products were released in so we know the proper timeline sequence for thw world. We have all gotten rather confused about which came first out of a couple books, because they all seem to reference each other.



For a timeline, SoT Book 1 has one that may be of some help.
