Is there likely to be an Aftermath style book for the Minion War.

At least a state of play (offical canon material) of the places/npc's effected by the minion war in the last book/rifter?

Is there a desire to get official material on how the Minion War possibly affects other dimensions (known/unknown) -

What is the Minion War?

in this link a minion war aftermath book is hinted at in the description. do people want to see such a book, and should it focus on other diemnsions, not covered by the minion war books - like BTS, Wormwood and new dimensions

What happens in the Dimensional Outbreak book?

The minion war is a war between the realms of Hades and Dyvaal the span the multiverse. It affect everybody in Palladium: Rifts Earth, HU, Phase World (and the 3 galaxies). So far, the only world left untouched is the Palladium world...

Will there be an Aftermath book? Perhaps! but it wasn't mentionned... as of yet.

war between hades/dyval forces has been raging on Palladium for ages. Palladium world has been their defacto battleground but in minion war series Modeus decided to strike a decisive blow against Dyval by invading it through multiple points. I think the PF choas land books 1,2 detail area where minion war is being fought on the palladium world

Minion War is hinted at in early PFRPG books as being confined to the Land of the Damned. LotD1 goes further into it, explaining that the #1 demon lord is planning a major invasion into Dyval (the deevils' home realm). DB10 & DB11 explain the demon & deevil build up and opening shots of the war, DB12 details the demons invasion of the 3 Galaxies and Phase World. That's pretty much all the books on the subject at the moment. I think Palladium plans to release one for HU and one for Rifts Earth, but outside of that, I don't know if there will be more books.

Also in the original CB (and pretty much any book detailing the demon & deevil lords) has a little bit of what was covered in the early PFRPG books. The early info is pretty much stuff a GM could have taken and ran with. LotD1 started the ball rolling with the whole Minion War idea. Which I'm not saying is bad in any way, I like what's been done so far, and, IMO, the Minion War series seems to be a better idea than the CS/Tolkeen War series.

So do they invade Center?

Both Demon & Deevil invade and start a full scale war against each other in Center. Dimensional Outbreak is a good book and I think Carl Gleba best to date.

It's a little early to be thinking about an aftermath, there are still three books to be published in the series and if the previous track record is any indication it could take as long as two to five years to get to the final book.

Dimensional Outbreak is quite literally one of the best books in a very long time.. Cormel alone dictates that.. but then you get Deevils in command of new Naruni spaceships... Demons literally growing their own spaceships.. and creating entirely new subclasses.. expendable canon fodder... by the billions.. and finally its hinted at for the overall # of demons being quite possibly in the naighborhood of the trillions !!! Spread out amonst the entire megaverse..

Dimensional Out break is one of thee best books out in a very long time..

Love the Minion war, Can't what for the next two, I hope there will be three books in this line. Really can't wait to see what happens on Rifts Earth. I Would love to see a Aftermath book even if it does take three to five years to get it.

There is already the Hades and Dyval books, as well as Dimensional Outbreak, plus you could count the LOD series from the PF setting as they have a lot of background info.

Yea, But I want more. Want to see what happens on Rifts Earth

Reality is we don;t really know and Palladiums release schedule is now vague because we asked for it to be by not wanitng specific release dates. Mostly because they almost NEVER actually achieve those dates and miss them by wide margins most of the time. I personally like the vagueness now since we get to know what they are working on and what's in the pipline but not get our hopes up as to when it will be available to us masses.
