Rifts for Savage Worlds

[CapedCrusader]

OK, folks, it looks like they want to make this an Official Setting file, like Deadlands and the others. That means full distribution through Hero Lab when it's ready. It also means that I'll need to review the completed file before release. Knight, I'll get you a copy of the specifications for naming and such.
Here's the good part. This means if we need to make changes in the Hero Lab code to support this, we can. So, this is official clearance to find way to support multiple Arcane Backgrounds.
What else has been tough to fit?

Oh thank Zeus,

This project was a nightmare and a half here is just a few of the items I had issues with.

Heroic Journey tables there like edges but not drove me up 5 types of walls. They need to be there own thing. An easy way to add 2 generic Knowledge skills at d8. Iconic Frameworks are like races only not.


IM me for some ideas for fixing these.


Thanks,

Why would Groups or Factions not work for Iconic Framework?

[CapedCrusader]

How are they not like Edges (Heroic Journey tables)?

[CapedCrusader]

I've never played Rifts, this is all new to me.

OK, who is the contact for this? Dartnet, are you the one working on it currently? For some reason, I had thought it was TCArknight.

According to this thread Dartnet had to hand over the primary reigns to TCArknight who has consolidated the work being done and started a Git to coordinate the work over at: https://github.com/TCArknight/Savage-Rifts, if that helps.

OK, it's even more than I thought.
They are looking to go full Companion book level on this one.
That means I take it over and we do a full-blown write-up, with full integrated support. That means that Iconic Frameworks should have their own thing, and we'll fully build out the Journey tables.

Considering the popularity of this particular setting, and the fact that it's bringing a ton of fans of the old Rifts system to newly find out about Savage Worlds, that's probably not a bad idea. I've yet to even look through my Rifts books yet (I did back it, though) but I'm certainly looking forward to what having the "big guns" work on this will bring out in the way of new stuff for us. Where will it slot in, though? I know you've been working on Interface Zero 2.0 and the Deadlands: Reloaded update. Would this be before, between or after those? Just curious if you happen to know what the plans are for it.

Hmm interesting. Did I miss an announcement somewhere? It is awesome that this is officially coming out!
