rifts conversion
how would you convert the bugs to rifts. and how ouwld they do especially against CS tech.
I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest and we ate wild blueberries. More than 20 years ago. I was just a boy of four or five. The leaves were so dark and green then. The grass smelled sweet with the spring wind...For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.
Re: rifts conversion
The CS due to its amount of power used would be screwed except for possible Psychic warnings. But just because the Electricity is generated by Nuclear means doesn't mean the bugs couldn't travel via it. I don't see them travelling to where the power is generated (been awhile since I read the SF book so not sure if they can weather radiation or not). The same goes for all high tech kingdoms. Even those using electricity generated by Mystic Generators would still have hardlines that the bugs could use.

Re: rifts conversion
If the bugs invade Rifts North America I'm moving over to Stormspire and pray to god that all those hijacked CS "Toys" don't find me.

Norbu: Perhaps you want your weapons enchanted? Or maybe a shield or sword? I can even enchant armor!
Big Joe: We need you to enchant this Liver, this heart, and these kidneys.

Pages 62 and 127 of Systems Failure specifically deal with using the Bugs in Rifts.

Re: rifts conversion
So using the bugs in Rifts is covered in the book. But what about the organitech weapons and armor produced by NORAD?

Seems simple enough to use the same rules as the bugs.
HP and SDC is turned into MDC, PS is supernatural (robotic might make more sense since the organitech is similar to Splicer tech which IIRC uses robotic in Rifts).

Re: rifts conversion
You recall correctly, and imho the organitech can be more powerful in some cases. I especially like their version of power armor. I also use them in Splicers, and have toyed around with giving them to the CS by way of Lone Star capturing and reproducing the tech. The arrival of the bugs would quickly follow.
