Ley Lines and Lore

What's in a character? Characters need to be full. They need to be to developed. But they also need to be simple and straightforward, or else you end up writing pages of background you'll never use. We are diving deep in to character background today to talk about how to do it smart.

How does combat work in 1st edition Rifts? This week we are taking a deep dive into tackling some of the interesting evolutions that have occured in the combat system. We are closely examining what the rules actually say about how you should run combat. And we're taking a rare look ahead at how some of this has changed over time.

You're sitting there ready to make a new character. You naturally reach for your dice to roll up Attributes first. But wait! Did you consider where that character came from first? Why is this character you are about to roll up a cyborg in the first place? What made them want to volunteer for the dangerous conversion process? And why did they choose the military over civil service? Today we explore what makes NGR characters unique and how you should be thinking about them in your campaign whether you are a GM, a player, or both!
