The Setting: Adapted from Palladium Books 'Rifts Ultimate Edition' "The end of human civilization came without warning. One moment all was right in the world, the next moment absolute chaos reigned. Every single ley line around the world surged and exploded with energy, erupting and spewing forth destruction each at the same time creating a wave of destruction that washed over the entire world. Great storms swept the planet one after another, tidal waves, earthquakes and tornadoes toppled the great cities as if they were made of paper. Mountains heaved and shattered, the oceans rose up to swallow the coast and billions of people perished in a matter of hours." As well as the magical storms the Great Cataclysm also summoned rifts into the world, huge swirling inter-dimensional portals which seem to connect to random points in space and possibly time.Through these portals come many horrifying creatures, from dragons and vampires to daemons and aliens. Humans are now a extinct on most of the planet and spend every day fighting to saves their lives. Over the course of a single day earth went from being an insignificant planet to an inter-dimensional transport hub. The Plan: Over the next 6 months ( starting this coming weekend ) I'll be running lots of one-shots and I'm recruiting a pool of players to be involved in as many of these games as they would like to be. This means, if you sign up and want to play every week, that's fine, if you end up playing once then that's also fine. The first sessions will be this weekend, and I have spaces for one starting at 1:00 pm BST.
