Was just thinking about this...is there any reference guide to when the various races in Rifts earth started to appear on Earth? I am asking because I am curious if there are any races from Rifts that are playable in Chaos Earth well maintaining the flavor of Chaos Earth.

I am also very well aware that any non-human looking D-Bee will probably shot on sight...but that can just creat some rather interesting and fun RP.

I always figured they started appearing almost right away, (that being within the first year or two after the Rifts started to open).
Actually any non human D-bee might NOT be shot on sight, NEMA operates on seperation and containment of "non-natives" aka D-bees (at least initially) but I always thought that some enterprising (for military read "stupid") anthropologist might actually try to make contact w/an unknown race to attempt to foster mutual understanding and the like.

There are new ones in First Responders. In D-Bees of North America I specifically wrote the Iktek Diggers to be a race that appeared on Earth periodically from the dawn of the Coming of the Rifts. Most other races don't specify, but any are fair game.

That is what I pretty much figured.

Where does it state NEMA's veiw on D-Bees in the books(if there is one?)

NEMA's policy on D-bees is described in the Chaos Earth RPG (can't remember exact page) I think it was listed in one of the descriptors of NEMA personnels duties or some such. They seem to follow a policy of seperation and containment, as in they keep the clear D-bee races seperate from the human population and contain them to a limited area beyond the declared NEMA borders.

First Responders talks a little bit about reactions of regular people to D-Bees. It's safe to categorize NEMA's outlook as airing on the side of caution.

Well Some races who did not have a edge like MDc,s skin,Magic or tech die out in the first 100 years,I think the majorty of race in DBofNA appear after the first 100 years.

Come on show your ideas for the D-Bees,s races of this time.
