Yes, a ritual approach is important.

Some of the amterial in TTGD for Nightbane should make it into Arcanum (IMHO, TTGD is when Nightbane turned from a supernatural adventure game to a horror game)

Oh man, I LOVE to use evil cultists. They're so versatile. Fantasy. Modern Horror. Weird West. You name it: evil cults can fit into any genre, yeah, even RIFTS and any sci-fi. There's something timeless about diabolical and charismatic madmen leading a group of zealots into channeling their power to open a portal or destroy the world. It's classic, and I think is so "fun" to play because maybe it touches upon secrets long ago cast away and shrouded in the softened moments of a shattered, ancient history that only a few people are even aware of. And, plus, characters have a great time dealing with cultists.

Especially if they're dressed as clowns.

Ash, be careful! Having the cult of clowns in game runs the risk of your BTS campaign becoming nothing more than a *three ring circus.* :)

Plus, it has already been stated in print that BtS is the world that leads to Rifts, while other genre (HU, NSS, etc) are alternate dimensions.

That's a lot of why I was disappointed with them taking the Chaos Earth spells and mage OCCs off the megaverse standard.

He changed his mind in Rifter 2 (page 18 ) and BtS is no longer the past of Rifts Earth but a dimensional twin that is very similar.
