I know what you mean. I've tried many, but I tend to stick to Rifts. There's just something magic about it.

I tend to like it because you can pretty much be whatever the hell you want, which very few RPGs allow.
You're all just a bunch of whinging children.

If you got hooked because of the novels... then you should be impressed by the actual game.


The 3 books were not, shall I say, of the greatest quality, no offense to Mr. Chilton.

Yes welcome! :-D I don't play, I am more a collector. It started with Robotech, and after Palladium stopped making it, I went a little robot crazy, with no new Robotech books, so I got into collecting Rifts books ( :D Ooohhh, Glitter Boy! Shinny!! :D ) And cool! I take martal arts too. I help teach a combo of Tae Kwon Do, Jujitu, and Judo, with some Akido, Kung Fo, and grapalen (sp?) thrown in. As I like to say, we have a Hines(sp?) 57 class when it comes to martal arts!

Even made me buy the N-Gage.


WOW :shock: :shock:

You stuck with it when the first thing you read was the novels? Now THATS what I call being hooked!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Palladium and Rifts. 8-) We hope you enjoy your stay and don't mind that AI behind the curtain.

That sounds like what happened to me...played a couple times, enjoyed it and bought books to get sucked in further. 8-)


All those gamers in all those cities who spoke of Rifts as such an unsightly thing... They never played here.

How is that for a Necromonger reference :-) .

As much as I dislike some aspects of the game system. I still look through new Palladium releases. It's hard to explain, sometimes there is a vitality in the writing of the books that is missing from other games. All of their games have it. Rifts more so imo.
