Savage Rifts!

It's Rifts but with a rule system that doesn't turn my brain inside out.

The time for wild speculation is nigh...

How do you think they will separate MDC from SDC?  Will they throw that whole stupid mess out the window (MDC rock vs tank has always been a funny discussion-nothing like throwing a rock at someone that levels them and the building behind them.)

Also they finally revised the shaken rules so that you do not end up shaken for 2/3 of the time while everyone else is doing something until they are inevitable shaken to death.  Hopefully they also cleaned up the shotgun rules too.  There is no reason that an entire party should not carry shotguns and just mow down the first wave with the ridiculous damage they put out at short range.  Also a revision on bolt would be nice because every SW game I've played with this it almost certainly ruins the game.

I am excited. I still think the Rifts setting has potential to be saved.

Let the Palladium system die, however.
