Hey, everyone. Wayne Smith here again, though Kevin is recovering nicely. In fact, he makes a guest appearance elsewhere in this Update. Otherwise, we’re doing final prep for Anime North and continuing to work on a number of projects and upcoming releases.

Rifts^® Savage Worlds Kickstarter coming to a close – Already surpassed $400k! – Only hours left to get in on the action

As I write this, Pinnacle Entertainment Group’s Rifts® for Savage Worlds Kickstarter is 5,000% funded and still going strong! It offers books in print and PDF, a Game Master screen, maps, dice, bennies, a messenger bag, and a T-shirt, among other items. Reward levels range from the $15 Digital Player to the $240 Everything GM.

Savage Worlds players can take advantage of the current Rifts® Savage Sale to learn more about Rifts Earth right now, and can also grab some PDF Rifts® books from DriveThruRPG.com. Blend Palladium’s Rifts® source material with Savage Worlds®, and vice versa for Palladium’s Rifts® gamers. You may want these full color, well written Rifts® Savage Worlds titles just to read and own, but there are plenty of cool ideas, random tables and adventures you can easily incorporate in your current Rifts® games.

Many stretch goals have already been unlocked, including adventures, pre-generated archetype characters, D-Bee races to play, additional gear and weaponry, and an expanded Player’s Guide!

Hey, everyone. Wayne Smith here. Why me instead of Kevin today? Yeah, there’s a story behind that.

Kevin was hit by a car on Sunday. He’s ok, mostly, but his right arm was broken pretty badly. He had surgery yesterday, and things went well, so hopefully he’ll be back to work soon. But we’ll be without him for a while, and even when he’s back, it will take a while for his right arm (which is kind of important for a right-handed artist and writer) to heal. We’ll just have to work around it as best we can.

In the meantime, you’re stuck with me, so I’ll just get on with it.

The Rifts^® Savage Sale is back for one final week

To celebrate the success of the kickstarter, and because you folks liked it so much (and because Kevin isn’t around to stop me), we’ve decided to bring back the Rifts Savage Sale for one more week or so – now till midnight on Sunday, May 22.
