Just curious what everyone's favorite books are in Rifts.


I believe for me, in no particular order -
1. Vampire Kingdoms
2. Juicer Uprising
3. Lone Star
4. Coalition War Campaign
5. New West
6. Arzno
7. Dinosaur Swamp
8. MercTown
9. Merc Ops
10. Mercenary Adventures
11. Mercenaries
12. Canada

For me...also no particular order..

Triax
Merctown
Warlords of Russia/Mystic Russia (I consider these essentially one book)
Atlantis
Dbees of North America
Sourcebook 1 Revised
Mercenaries
Aftermath
CWC/Coalition Navy (also consider these as essentially one book)
Manhunter

They don't really make books that I don't like, just ones I haven't gotten around to using. I still skim/read them all and there is always something of intrigue there for me. I do like where Phase World/3 Galaxies books are going. Also the fact that they revisit some of my favorite settings.
SB1 was revised then had Shemmarian Nation.
Same for Vampire Kingdoms (a revision) with Arzno (also adds to West books) and a new sourcebook.
Atlantis had Splynn.
China 1 & 2 added to Japan to give more flavor to the Far Eastern Asian setting.
Triax 2 for Triax.
Megaverse in Flames will be great additional material for Canada/Free Quebes and the Minion War series.
They do a good job of keeping the old fresh.

1. Coalition War Campaign
2. Triax
3. Psyscape
4. Dark Conversions
5. Splynn
6. Sourcebook 1 Revised
7. Atlantis
8. Naruni Second Wave
9. Merc Ops
10. Mad Haven

I'd have to say, in no particular order:

RUE
Lone Star
New West
Coalition War Campaign

Of course, it MIGHT just be because these are the only four books I have... But even still, I like the subject matter in each of 'em.

My favorites are (in this order)

1. Mercenaries
2. Coalition War Campaign
3. MercOps
4. Canada
5. D-Bees of North America
6. Merc Adventures
7. Source Book One Revised

I have more than this, but these are the ones I read and re-read the most.

Obviously, there are elements of most books I find appealing, but the following are the ones I find myself referencing often:

Merc Ops
Black Vault
Mercenaries
Game Masters Guide
Book of Magic
Conversion Book 1
Dark Conversions
Naruni Wave 2
Hades
Dyval
Atlantis
England (for Temporal Wizardry and Chaing Ku Dragons)
Mystic Russia
Sourcebook One Revised and Expanded

As long as I'm not on the latter...
I would hate to have a confrontation with the guy that came up with Thumpers.

I can't tell if that's a shot at me or at Thunpers.
