Rifts: Empires of Humanity

Description

The Rifts® shattered the golden age of technology.

The Coalition’s Emperor prosecutes his crusade to create Empires of Humanity. Seeking to absorb non-arcane human societies and purge all others, he is encroaching on both the Tomorrow Legion’s potential allies and enemies, accelerating the pace of events set in motion by the Fall of Tolkeen. Corporate states, despotisms, and wild barter towns all employ unbelievably high-tech might.

Threats such as the Coalition States, Free Quebec, and Pecos Empire abound. So do potential allies in places like the New West, Great Lakes Kingdoms, and Texas Free Lands. Then there are the enigmatic forces of Archie Three, the Shemarrian Nation, and the Republicans to contend with.

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.
