Resurrection
If you look at the top of the human map and the bottom of the demon map, you will see a large empty circle surrounded by pillars. This abandoned city rests on the edge of the demon territory far south of Krik Lesion. The Cathedral and the generals of Battle Star have agreed to consider an offensive that would retake the abandoned city and quickly free the three nearby demon controlled human towns. Our heroes have been designated the Sunfist Recon and they are given a small force to enter the city, map it out and report on its condition, inhabitants and suitability as a staging area. However, Krik Lesion has been expecting this move and the demons have their own plans. Unknown to both Forces, the city has its own unusual secrets to behold...
I am planning to expand this into a mini-campaign for the Rifter...as soon as I finish my Rifts Rapa Nui article.
101 Wormwood Scenarios
Moderators: Immortals, Supreme Beings, Old Ones
Some adventure seeds I've had in the past (but never developed into more) are:
An adventure that explores the inside of Wormwood. Maybe demons have found a tunnel to a major "organ" of Wormwood and are somehow corrupting it or benefiting from it (maybe they are harvesting a fluid from it which is benefiting them).
Possibly similar to the above, the demons have discovered/developed a way to make demons into a corrupted version of an apok.
A demon approaches a cathedral protected city under a flag of truce. He brings a message. One of the demon leaders and his officers intends to defect if the Cathedral will take them, but he needs to meet personally with representatives of the Cathedral. He is willing to come alone to a location of their choosing in neutral territory, provided he is not meeting more than two cathedral representatives who are also otherwise alone. Smells like a trap.
A new type of bloodstone is found. It is plentiful in a specific location which happens to be in neutral territory. The Cathedral Scout has brought only a couple back with him, because after he gathered those he discovered a couple demons had also found it and raced back to their base. A race is on to send a sizable yet quick force to gather the stones and guard the area.
A young child (5 at most) has become an Apok...
Wormwood is having convulsions/earthquakes and may be dying... How do you diagnose and cure a planet?

That would be part of the adventure, figuring out why a 5 year old is an apok. A kid that age shouldn't have any evil to repent for.
