Pinnacle Entertainment and Rifts’ creative lead Sean Owen Roberson has released a free Savage Rifts: Palladium Gaming Using Savage Rifts download.
Yes, the 3-pager helps GMs take Savage Worlds content designed for the Rifts world setting and use it with the traditional Palladium Rifts system. That’s worth clarifying as it’s more common to see guides going the other way, taking content from the parent system so that it can be adapted for the child. In this case, the Rifts for Savage Worlds library is growing fast and large enough that a guide for porting content back over might be helpful.
Savage Worlds Adventure Edition powers numerous settings, is an adamantine best seller on DriveThruRPG, and can be officially used for Rifts games with the aid of Savage Rifts: The Tomorrow Legion Player’s Guide and Savage Rifts: Game Master’s Handbook.
Rifts is a post-apocalyptic science fiction role-playing game published by Palladium Books. It is set in a world where humanity has survived a series of cataclysmic events that have torn the fabric of reality, creating rifts in time and space that allow magic and supernatural creatures to coexist with advanced technology. Rival societies, cultures, and factions form in the wake of the cataclysms.
In Rifts, players can play various character types, including humans, mutants, and supernatural creatures. The game is known for its high level of customization, with players able to create unique character classes and abilities by choosing from a wide range of different skills, powers, and equipment.
The setting of Rifts is vast and varied, with different regions featuring their own unique cultures, landscapes, and histories. From the high-tech city-states of the Coalition States to the magical kingdoms of the Fey to the mysterious supernatural realms of the Netherworld and the Vampire Kingdoms, the world of Rifts is full of danger, adventure, and intrigue. As you can imagine, this is ripe for sourcebooks and supplements.
