This afternoon I was at the book store and I found a used copy of RIFTS ULTIMATE EDITION. I am a big fan of fantasy and science fiction and RIFTS looks like a mix of both genres. The color artwork inside captured my imagination.
My friends have played DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, but have never GAME MASTERED.
For the last four hours I have been reading and taking notes trying to make heads or tails out of it, but so far I am having only frustrations. Texting my friend is not helping much either.
Are there HOW TO videos online?
Any advice would be wonderful!
Cheers!
I am more than happy to help, but I am taxed for time (for today and the first half of tomorrow).
Any time after that I can help via skype or I could work on throwing a tutorial video on my youtube chancel (but don't expect it to have any special effects. ).
I assume you are trying to figure out character gen but the book is so massive that you're not sure where to start, right?
Rifts really is an amazing game and it promises hours upon hours of fun limited only by your imagination, but it is a system that must be learned. Diving right in with no clear idea of where to start means you have to do a lot of reading. Don't worry, I will help. Just having someone point you to things when you are starting out significantly cuts your time getting started down (more than reduces it by half).
