Re: Which 5 upcoming books is everyon waiting for the most?
Out of the 8 that they've said are out soon,
1: Northern Gun 1 (( I live here and alot of my groups are based out of NG. I'm also curious to see their new gear and what they've done with my part of the world. )
2: Northern Gun 2
3: Megaverse in flames (( Ready to see the 'end' of it and see what happens with the CS, FQ, Laz, ect. Also, if nothing else, we can quit speculating on it all, and the complaints can start.
4: Black Market (( I'm curious to see the CS prison system, and border patrol stuff. And.. I'll admit I'm dreading how the smuggler stuff will ignore most of the CS stuff.))
5: Lemuria. (( I was alot more excited about this one till I found out it didn't have the New Navy updates in it. With the New Navy book being separate and not even on the horizon, this one has dropped in the rankings.))
Honorable mention to
Dead reign Endless Dead. I like the Dead Reign books but the small books don't give me a ton to work with. I get them mostly for completion sake and to data mine the tidbits from
Vamp Sourcebook. (( 100% for the updates on Reids Rangers and Fort Reid.))

Whatever 5 they can get out in less than a calendar year
I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree

Re: Which 5 upcoming books is everyon waiting for the most?
My personal choice:
1) Megaverse in flames (i hope for demoninc explosion everywhere!!!)
2)Lemuria (because when i first had to choose my first sourcebook on my meager money it was amongst the first 5 choice, it is an old "debt" owned to us by Kevin)
3) Psychic sourcebook??....***K and YEAH!!! It was about *****ing time!!!
4) Japan 2 and Sovietsky (ahh other two long time project we were waiting since....lot of time)

My bad. Real life got in the way in a pretty big way and I had to help get Triax 2 out first. Sovetski is coming along nicely and then I'll be jumping into Japan 2 pretty quickly.

Thanks Jaymz. I really do have fun with what I write. I write things that i'd want to see as a player and GM. I hope you liked the revised O.C.C.s in Rifter #55. I'm going to try to do some more of those, like for Rifts Mercenaries and even a Technojacker and Packmaster revisted for splicers.

Yeah they made sense. I think any/all OCC's need to be brought up to a RUE standard aside from the odd tweak in special RCC's or OCC's (like the Juicers getting tweaked in reprints of Juicer Uprising etc). The point of an OCC's is to be special from the norm. IE, the CS Ranger should get the same abilities of the Wilderness Scout as the Ranger is basically the CS Wilderness Scout , RPA Elites should get similar abilities to the Robot Pilot specialist earlier in RUE.

I'd get up in the morning and watch the sun rise over the yardarm of my sky-ship as the sails billowed in the breeze and the land slid by 300-odd metres below. I'd grasp the mahogany ship's wheel, turn her nose a few points back onto the line, and feel pity for all those poor bastards below who have to work for a living. - My idea of the good life in Rifts.

Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well...

Re: Which 5 upcoming books is everyon waiting for the most?
As a side note. NG 1 and 2 are set to include the Mannistique stuff as a front and pawn for northern gun. So your wishes are to be granted there. (( if the books published are as we've been told they are))
It should more realistically be called 'Rifts: Yoopers" or "Rifts Upper Peninsula" but.. Northern Gun sounds alot better and is more hooky for those that don't know the area.
I'm pretty excited about the both of them, as I live here.

SamtheDagger wrote:M.I. is a front and pawn of Northern Gun eh? That is interesting, but I do not like it. I can see where the argument probably comes from, but when it comes to weapons, necessity is the mother of invention, and competition amongst arms dealers is part of the necessity. If you were to tell me all the weapons manufacturers are actually all part of the same conglomerate, I would raise an eyebrow. It also smacks of retroactive continuity. These two (NG and MI) have been presented as allied but competitor states from day one. Now they are going to "lift the veil" and reveal that the two have been one from the start (or at least for a very long time)? That seems a bit odd to me. It significantly narrows the field of weapons producers in North America, which I think is disingenuous to the setting.
I don't disagree, but... we literally only have a few bullet points right now.. and the book is pretty far down the list. We'll be lucky to see it by Christmas and alot can change between now and then. so.... we'll know when we get it. The writer is one of their newer guys and I like his work so far, so I'll gladly give him the benefit of the doubt. Lets see what he does with it.

Re: Which 5 upcoming books is everyon waiting for the most?
Yeah. Lazlo is pretty much first on my list of "Want."
I have almost NO interest in any of the books coming out except the Northern Gun ones. Deep South has been pretty much finished for years, along with China 3. The book I REALLY want to see is California. That could be a lot of fun.

SamtheDagger wrote:M.I. is a front and pawn of Northern Gun eh? That is interesting, but I do not like it. I can see where the argument probably comes from, but when it comes to weapons, necessity is the mother of invention, and competition amongst arms dealers is part of the necessity. If you were to tell me all the weapons manufacturers are actually all part of the same conglomerate, I would raise an eyebrow. It also smacks of retroactive continuity. These two (NG and MI) have been presented as allied but competitor states from day one. Now they are going to "lift the veil" and reveal that the two have been one from the start (or at least for a very long time)? That seems a bit odd to me. It significantly narrows the field of weapons producers in North America, which I think is disingenuous to the setting.
MISTAKE HERE. I mistook the bullet points I'd previous read for Manistique being the puppet, when in fact the bullet point said Ishpeming.
Here's the entire thing taken from the most recent mailing.

Re: Which 5 upcoming books is everyon waiting for the most?
To give them credit. Northern gun has been around since the first book and Merc town didn't come out for decades after.... it's easy to say that NG has more.. it just hasn't been covered yet (( And yes. Most people are all. "Why so long!?" but we don't have Chi Town or Lazlo either))

Re: Which 5 upcoming books is everyon waiting for the most?
I second Shinitenshi's thoughts there. They won't touch Middle east with a 50 foot pole. India... way way down the list.. but it MIGHT see light of day if Palladium hangs out another 5-10 years.. but you won't see it in 5.

Re: Which 5 upcoming books is everyon waiting for the most?
Ahhh Wormwood... I remember when that one first came out. It was nice and fresh and new and like nothing else in rifts. (( ok aspects of it had been seen before in sci fi but it was TOTALLY new to rifts))
I'd love a new dimension book that was totally fresh like Wormwood too.
You just gotta be careful that you don't end up going past 'new and exciting' into 'Too freaky/stupid"

Whatever was announced as "coming soon!" 15 years ago that I'm still waiting on.
