The New German Republic Revisited
When I first bought Triax and the NGR, I expected it to contain information much like the other books. Government information, notable NPCs, and city descriptions. What I found was far different. The book contained weapons, equipment and power armor, but no information on the cities of the NGR. It…

Augustus Fairchild
Augustus Fairchild is the character I am playing in my current Rifts campaign. It's a great game so far, so here he is... My name is Augustus... Oh, bloody hell. You won't be able to tell anyone. You're a criminal and no one would be likely to believe you. My name is Marcus Cole. I am an Amaki…

Nikolas Dimiye
This is a character I made for a PBP game some time ago that I had to drop out of due to time constraints. The background is a bit tailored to that game, but he's an interesting character nonetheless. He was last seen in a wilderness assault against a large group of brodkil…

Sho Yamato
This is a character that I was never able to start playing, but was meant for a Phase World PBeM that never got off the ground. I seem to have hit a few of those. Background Little is known about Sho Yamato and his past. Even less seems to be known about his present. Sho was the member of the…

Danielle Krieger
Danielle was born a street urchin and has worked her way up from the bottom. She stole what money she could at first, hoarding it until she had enough to buy the equipment she would need. It took a few years and long criminal record, but she finally saved the money she needed and bought art…

Johann Krieger
Johann was born into a prominent business family. Unfortunately, Johann yearned for knowledge, not the hobnobbing and kissing ass of the business world. When he was fifteen, he left home. He lived on the streets, gathering as many books and learning as much as he could. Eventually, the knowledge…

Nicholas is Danielle and Johann's youngest son. He has continued the family lineage of psychic powers and is quite adept. He was born into a relative life of luxury and was brought into the family business as a negotiator. With his telepathic powers, he was quite good. Unfortunately, the life of…

The House of the Leopard
The House of the Leopard has always produced the largest number of duelists. Why this is, is unknown, but it is most likely due to the exceptional physical prowess present in all members of the House (minimum PP of 22). This house began nearly 10,000 years ago, when the Amaki were still tribal in…

The Peacekeepers
The Peacekeepers are a war-like race of humanoids of a small empire in the Anvil Galaxy. Their homeworld of Ceirus Prime (pronounced Kay-rus) has been mastered (in order and in self-sufficiency). Unfortunately, the Peacekeepers would not be satisfied with mastery of their world. They soon…

It all starts in MercTown with a pair of new arrivals. These two are fugitives from the Coalition State of Lonestar and have a retrieval squad hot on their tail. After laying low for a time in MercTown, they begin to venture out and explore job opportunities. While it's unsavory to have to work…

The Shop
This campaign is for Rifts. It's not a full campaign, but it could easily lead to one. Read on to find out exactly how... Background: I came up with this campaign idea after reading the article on the Operator O.C.C. in Rifter #5. An excellent article and a must read for anyone. The characters…

The House of Lunas
The House of Lunas is one of the six Amaki houses of New Babylon. The House of Lunas is named for the moon and the moon's color, silver. Now, it is also named for the color of the assassin's blade. It is one of the less scrupulous houses among the Amaki clans and shelters many spies and assassins,…

The House of Swords
By the title, I'm sure you can all figure out exactly what I'm talking about, and for those of you who don't, I'm talking about New Babylon. It's found in one of the untouchable books in the South America series (South America 2 to be exact) and probably one of the most munchkin series of books in…

The Clans of Atlantis
The Atlanteans of this day and age are as varied as humans ever have been. They come in all colors and beliefs. In fact, those Atlanteans that escaped to other continents on Earth after the disastrous cataclysm that sent Atlantis into limbo are responsible for a great number of the cultures that…

A World Torn Asunder (Part 2)
This is part two of my article regarding what, I believe, the outcome of the major conflicts on Rifts Earth will be. This second part covers most of the Eastern Hemisphere (Africa and Australia will be covered, hopefully, in Part Three). I will, hopefully, give some information regarding the…

A World Torn Asunder (Part 1)
A while ago, I got into a debate about the many fronts the Coalition faces, how this might affect them, and the possibilities of who might win. It also turned out to be a great discussion about the factors that could affect the outcome of every war the Coalition States has entered in to, mostly…

Mingling with the Enemy
This campaign is based off something I saw on the Internet some time ago. I've included the documents that the characters receive to get you started with the campaign. You'll also find the names and mini-bios of all the NPC villains and some information for an outcome. Enjoy... To: Special Ops…

The Brodkil Empire
The Brodkil Empire arose out of the efforts of several Brodkil warlords. It began before the Post-Apocalyptic calendar as a few scattered tribes allied together to destroy the, then fledgling, NGR. The tribes' warriors, all superior to the devastated human population, came crashing out of Russia,…

The House of Chi
The House of Chi is a more recent addition to Amaki society. It was started by a group of Amaki wishing to begin an official schooling program for mages of all types. What started as a small group of a dozen wizards has grown into a large house capable of repelling almost any invasion due to it's…
