Tome Grotesque and Beyond Arcanum with Rifts

Unread post by Fyrpower »

After long discussions regarding the delays of 2 future BTS-2 Supplements Tome Grotesque and Beyond Arcanum, I have decided to post a poll to see what everyone else thinks about this. Hopefully it will give Kev some incentive to get these products out if the results work out how I think they will.

I prefer, for game balance purposes, to keep the monsters, magic etc seperate between the two genres.

In my opinion, all boooks, should have notes about combining them with the other game systmes, in that note, I would like for all other future rifts World Books to include notes for their particular region during the time of the cataclysm/Chaos Earth setting.

I wouldn't mind a multi-setting book. In fact, if the did that with the BTS2 series I'd consider picking them up for supplemental purposes to my Rifts game.

I have to disagree with you here, when Dragons and Gods came out for Palladium Fantasy I thought it was a brilliant idea to have Rifts conversion notes for each god, dragon etc. within the description. At the end of the day, I'm not looking at a "Oh this is actually a Rifts sourcebook and not a BTS sourcebook conversion" but a few conversion notes wouldn't hurt and would get myself and a lot of other people who don't play BTS interested, if I end up liking them, then perhaps I would buy the actual BTS core book myself! That's not such a bad thing is it?

I'd love for them to have conversion notes.

Actually, I would love an update on the Old Ones for Rifts. :)
