hummmmm

Since most of the stuff in the rifters is optional.
well not everything is useful..... but more then a few are useful.


So I will pick I use the useful stuff in the rifters. Which is more then a few.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

I pick and choose as I will.

And the Turning of a Page"

I've used it for inspiration but most of the stuff needs 'tweaking' at best for me.

i voted 'a few', though that may grow. personally, i don't base it on whether or not it's in the rifter, but whether or not i consider it to be good quality material. i would use stuff that i consider to be good quality but which is not in the rifter, and i wouldn't use stuff which i consider to be poor quality but which did get into the rifter.

I use a few things. Like Daniel I tend to end up tweaking some part of it. But heck I do that with nearly all my game material.

Who Doesnt Tweak stuff ?? Not many.

Its not Rifter, but in the Merc Adventure book. Cold-Blooded OCC. I see no reason they should not have Supernatural PS to be honest. IF a PC asks me, I'd allow then to use Supernatural PS instead. Its not like it will break the game or unbalance things.

A few things are useful.
Eyes without life, maggot-ridden corpses, mountains of skulls... these are a few of my favourite things.

I end up using quite a bit, but I tweak and fine tune them, like most GMs.

I'm with you and a Rifts articles. I also liked the Chaos Earth Blue line demons, the psionics in Rifter 25 but on a limited scale. The Rifter needs more official stuff like 50 & 51 and add the best stuff from the series to world books. Rifter 25 psionics was great but the minor power that had the psychic take half damage was very unbalancing in our game as too many creatures would have it slowing combat it needed to be a super-psionic power.
I will be 125 living in Rio de Janeiro when the Great Cataclysm comes, I will not survive long but I will be cloned threw the Achilles project and my clones will be Achilles Neo-Humans that will start a new Jedi order in Psyscape. So You May Strike Me Down & I Will Become More Powerful Than You Can Possibly Imagine. Let the Clone Wars begin!

Our group use everything pretty much( I would say a 4th option for a "most' selection as oppose to a few...) with little or no tweaking. Though anything not for Rifts is more carefukly regulated...

We use about 75 percent of the material. Basically, if it's problematic or poorly written, we aren't going to use it, or if the math would confuse a calculus major with the amount of operations required, we don't use it.
