About the adventure
I want to have the players start out with beginning characters and explore the world of RIFTs as it has been ravaged by war and is rebuilding, you'll have encounters with Coalition forces who are trying to safeguard humanity from the interdimensional threats. This being a PBP game I will be checking in on the game once per day and helping out with any questions (or source books) you may need.
