About the adventure
Rifts is a multi-genre role-playing which takes place in a post-apocalyptic future, deriving elements from cyberpunk, science fiction, fantasy, horror, western, mythology and many other genres. Rifts serves as a cross-over environment for a variety of other Palladium games with different universes connected through "rifts" on Earth that lead to different spaces, times, and realities known as the Megaverse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifts_(role-playing_game) This campaign is heavily focused on exploration of exotic places, inquiry into geographic legends & rumors, and similar phenomenon. The group is an exploration outfit funded & directed by movers, shakers, and power brokers in Lazlo all presumably interested in intelligence gathering, and the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake.

View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation for Rifts can range the gamut from simple to very complex, so I will walk players through character creation step-by-step outside of regularly scheduled game times.
All campaigns are $10 per session. Campaigns are capped at 7 seats. Gear selection is wish list focused. New player characters begin at 4th level. "Power level" will remain low/medium given the focus of the campaign isn't combat.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Know your character sheets and the personality of your character. I highly encourage practicing your character and how they'll think and interact with everyday things. Make sure you have your backstory in place so we know how it is that you'll behave. Mics, a Discord account, and a Roll20 account are all required. Owning the PDFs or books will be very helpful and lead to less frustration, and so is highly recommended. Support publishers of content you love.

Players need bring only a good attitude and a desire to have fun. Please leave your politics, pronouns, & prejudices at home. They have no place at my table.

Homebrew rules
I keep my House Rules published in handouts accessible to all players in-game. In short, it's mostly RAW but with some modernization of the combat rules.

Safety
How Augur (Lloyd) creates a safe table
If anything in the game or my personality is not to your liking, you're encouraged to find your fun elsewhere. A lot of this game is likely to be theater of the mind with conflict scenes taking place on dynamically-lit maps. In-game discussion will use Discord for voice chat, and players are encouraged to whisper (/w) among one another freely throughout the course of a session.
