Sample file The Rifter® Number 82 Your Guide to the Palladium Megaverse®! 1 Dedication – To the memory of my beloved friend, Erick Wujcik. He died 10 years ago, but his passion for games, pushing the envelope, thinking big, and Palladium Books is still with me — with all of us – today. Erick’s legacy not only continues in the games and sourcebooks that bear his name, but in everyone he had touched over the years. And that is a great many people around the world. I would say I miss him, and I do, except ... I feel him (and Kay) with me every single day. Still prodding me to push my ideas further and sending me hope and inspiration when I need them most. Love you, Erick. – Kevin Siembieda, 2018 First Printing – November, 2018 Copyright 2018 Palladium Books® Inc. All rights reserved, world wide, under the Universal Copyright Convention.

    Palladium Books® Presents: ® Adventure Sourcebook By Kevin Siembieda © Palladium Books® Chi-Town ‘Burbs™ Firetown™ & the Tolkeen Crisis™ Warning! Violence, War, Magic & the Supernatural The fictional world of Rifts® is violent, deadly and filled with supernatural monsters. Other-dimen­ sional beings often referred to as "demons," torment, stalk and prey on humans. Other alien life forms, monsters, gods and demigods, as well as magic, insanity, and war are all elements in this book. Some parents may find the violence, magic and supernatural elements of the game inappropriate for young readers/players. We suggest parental discretion. Please note that none of us at Palladium Books® condone or encourage the occult, the practice of magic, the use of drugs, or violence. A Rifts® Adventure Sourcebook. The Chi-Town 'Burb of Firetown & the Tolkeen Crisis 1 Dedication To Wayne BreauxJr ., Kent Buries, Ramon Perez, Scott Johnson, Freddie Williams, Ap ollo Okamura, John Zeleznik, Dave Dorman and all of Palladium's unsung heroes who work in the realm of art and design. These guys pour their hearts and souls into their work and are often taken for granted by the average reader. They are the artisans who breathe visual life into the authors' words and imprint the images you, the reader, forever envision when you think of a particular character, monster or device. Without these insightful art­ ists, the Palladium Megaverse would be a bland, even ugly, place to visit. Instead it is full of life, wonder and power. - Kevin Siembieda, 2003 Also for Rifts® •.• Rifts® Adventure Sourcebook: Chi-Town 'Burbs™: Forbidden Knowledge Rifts® Adventure Sourcebook: The Black VauItTM Rifts® Adventure Sourcebook: The Vanguard™ Revised Rifts® Conversion Book One Rifts® Dark Conversions (Nightbane, demons & more).
