An introduction to Rifts®

Rifts® is a sprawling and dynamic roleplaying game set in a richly imagined, post-apocalyptic future. Multiple dimensions collide to depict a world brimming with diverse and often conflicting realities in this setting created by Kevin Siembieda, and originally published by Palladium Books in 1990. Rifts® blends elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and mythology. It offers players an expansive playground for storytelling and adventure. Rifts® for Savage Worlds perfectly marries a Megaverse® of adventure to a fast playing and dynamic roleplaying game.

In Rifts®, players assume the roles of a vast array of characters. From cyber-enhanced soldiers and powerful sorcerers, to mystical beings and alien creatures, each having unique abilities and backgrounds. The setting features everything from high-tech cities and ancient ruins to untamed wilderness and otherworldly realms.

Central to the game’s lore is the emergence of rifts. Dimensional portals connecting Earth to countless other realities. These rifts bring forth unimaginable wonders and horrors, creating an ever-shifting landscape fraught with danger and opportunity. Characters forge alliances, confront formidable foes, and uncover secrets that alter the fate of the multiverse as they explore this world of endless possibilities.
