This product represents a crossover between two distinct tabletop role-playing game systems: the fast-paced, adaptable Savage Worlds system, known for its streamlined mechanics and narrative focus, and the high-powered, science-fantasy setting of Rifts, renowned for its diverse range of character options, from cyborg commandos to magic-wielding dragons. It compiles and adapts the essential source material for running Rifts campaigns within the Savage Worlds ruleset.
The adaptation offers a potentially more accessible entry point to the complex Rifts universe, leveraging Savage Worlds’ intuitive mechanics. This streamlined approach can benefit both newcomers intimidated by Rifts’ traditionally dense rules and experienced players seeking a faster, more action-oriented experience. The combination allows players to explore the dynamic world of Rifts, complete with its signature blend of technology and magic, in a refreshingly different way. This bridging of two distinct gaming communities expands the potential audience for both systems.
