Rifts

This sourcebook catalogues a range of malevolent creatures for players and game masters of the RIFTS roleplaying game. Each entry describes a monster's appearance, abilities and habits, giving the game master material to build dangerous encounters in a ruined, otherworldly future. It is written as a supplement rather than a story, meant to sit alongside the core rules. Players who want antagonists that can unsettle a party will find plenty to use across many campaigns.
