The "Mentioned but never seen again thread"

Unread post by Fyrpower »

Yes, that's right after seeing something mentioned in Megaverse in Flames under the demon trader's enemies and finding them mentioned nowhere else in the book (I don't have the book at hand), I thought it would be a great idea to put down all the things that have been mentioned in the books, but seem to have never appeared or have been forgotten.

Another one for me is 'The Unbidden' from Rifts Aftermath.

I've long considered Palladium's dropped threads to be an asset. They're present in almost every book, and provide fertile ground for an imaginative GM to grow his or her stories.

Two off the top of my head:
Rifts England features mantaz sectiles, mentioning that there are other forms of sectile that have not crossed over to earth yet.
Conversion Book 2 mentions that Hecate's minions are selling lesser versions of her symbiotic bone armor.

The Republicans in old DC?
There was no Chaos Earth category, so I got stuck with a Chromium Guardsman, er, Glitterboy... <.<

They have been mentioned significantly in the revised Sourcebook that has ARCHIE in it (the same one where the Frozen Hidden Army is revealed to Hagan Lonovich).
The Kevinomicon, Book of Siembieda 3:16.

16 Blessed art Thou above all others, O COALITION STATES, beloved of Kevin;

17 For Thou art allowed to do Evil without Limit, nor do thy Enemies retaliate.

18 Thy Military be run by Fools and Dotards.

19 Yet thy Nation suffers not. Praise be unto Him that protects thee from all harm!!

The entire book of Madhaven was written based on the brief mentions of the Knights of the White Rose from WB 16 and Mentions of Madhaven from the original Rifts main book.

The people of the Lone Star Complex... aka the missing sods who vanished without a trace except for 3 bodies.
