As far as I know, Palladium does their best to keep actual published material off the net. Thus, unless you scan one into a computer and blow it up for personal use, I doubt you're going to be able to pull this off. Not to mention, it'd be hard to overlay a Rifts map with a normal one, as you'd have to make the scales match (not impossible, just tough).

I would suggest a copy of the GM's guide, if you can find one for cheap.

Another suggestion would be to PM Alex or Wayne and see if you might be able to get the digital information for that express purpose only. Of course, I'm not sure they'll give it to you, but it's worth a shot. :)

[quote=Kiodie]You mean I can actually ask them that? I would have never thought about that.[/quote]

Oh yeah, and unlike most other companies, if you ask a question of the Palladium staff they will usually respond (even if you are a totally fresh face on the boards).

Higher post counts indicate a higher likelihood of recognition by the staff (as you are more likely to have interacted with them), there is no "greater importance" associated with it. :-?

To bad they can't have downloads of digital maps that you could by from The main sight. They could also have old books or the like as well.


There is a little of that in "The Cutting Room Floor", and Palladium has already committed to expanding their online content. Maps were specifically mentioned as available for purchase once that storefront gets up and running. :)

At any rate, I'm not sure when the online content is going to start being made available, but I would bet on this year some time.

Yeah, I'd reccommend checking the site 2-4 times a month to see what's going on. :)

Petrified wood just because we could.
