What's your favorite issue of the Rifter overall, and why? I've been looking through them all lately, and didn't see any topics that asked.

I considered putting a disclaimer saying you can't vote for one you were published in. I went with #3. I know 21 has a sort of legendary status, but after looking through just about all of them over the last few weeks, #3 really stands out as being chock-full of cool, usable material, from the Martial Arts stuff, to the PFRPG monsters, to Primorder. I'd say of the first 10.5 (just realized that I forgot to include my 2nd favorite, 9.5), it's a real blockbuster. Although some of the others have some good stuff, nothing else comes close to 3 in terms of content and quality until 23, 24 & 29 (I'm really biased toward ATB stuff). I'll gladly concede, though, that the last 3-4 issues are way up there as well (including 40 ).

I had to vote for all because I could only vote for one and I'm trying to avoid being biased. I've been published in a few and so I didn't want to vote for those.

I voted 19, because I've used the additional skills listed in it more times than I can count, and I can count pretty high! My players all seem to use that one too, so it's easily the most beat up book in my collection. In fact, I eventually had to request that they all go and get their own copies, just so mine would survive!

Hmm, its a tough choice. Well I can't say #33 or #42 for obvious reasons. And my favorite
things are PPE Channeling, Dweomer Mages, Geiger Organization, New Types of Mutants, and
a host of things. I'd have to say Rifter #25. I use nearly all of John C. Philpott skills and skill
prgrams for my HU game, Michael Long's The Fires of Kormath adventure is cool,
and Levi Johnstone psionics I use for Fantasy and HU games. So this Rifter has the most uses
for me. But in reality I've enjoyed about 90% of all the Rifters, and each has something
to contribute to the Palladium Megaverse

I lked Rifter Number One a lot.. Cliche or Not I like the New Roman Republic Info.... And heartily request that they be included in a Rifts Mediterranian Area book (Not like it will happen though....)...

Got tot go with #23...Mr. Yoho's work on Mesozoic land and the mutant dino's was outstanding. #24 was good because it finished the article, but #23 was my favorite.
