I've been hearing a lot about this Rifter #0, but have some questions. Is this going to be reprints or material from previous Rifters, like a new 'Best Of Rifter' volume, or is this going to be all-new material?

I thought it was supposed to be all new material. But I could be wrong. We'll have to wait until the author updates us.

Yup, it's all new. My article did make the cut. One out of three. :ok:

Just a quick note to folks. Some of the attributions in the press release aren't correct. They WILL be right in the Rifter itself.

Well, considering that the arch-mage spells were my submission (well, part of it) i caught that one pretty quickly.

I'm just so happy that my little Santa article is seeing publication.

Actually, I'm kinda happy the project got pushed back this long to where that artical will be even more relevant

It was the first submission and after reading it I was kinda kicking my self that it was after christmas.

I am trying to be zen in my mellowness, but it was totally geek kewl to see my Seven Years on Cerebus mentioned in the Press Release about Rifter Zero.

Thanks again to Prince Artemis for launching this project!

I'm kinda wondering when those contracts will be going out. Haven't received mine yet, and my art's been approved...

But then, I'm impatient

Contract??

I thought the waiver thingy we had to mail in was it. :-?

That was your end of things. That was so I and pally could read them really. Now there will be a contract specific for this. Because the nature of this project is so different from the status quo they have to make a different type of contract.

You are being way too kind!

My big hope is that Seven Years on Cerebus will to do the following

1) Help sell copies of Rifter0 to help Palladium! I think the Rifter0 project is a great idea to both help Palladium and act as PB's tiptoe into the PDF market to test those waters.

2) Be a fun Rifts / Splicers crossover that introduces the kewlness of Splicers to the larger Rifts audience. If SYoC could help sell more Splicers books that would rock.

3) Allow players to replay the Siege of Tolkeen's tech vs. magic issues in microcosm across a limited campaign. My hope is that some gaming groups will actually run the campaign at home! That would be sweet.

Congrats to you and all of your writers Prince Artemis! I hope it sees publishing soon!

Just to let you know, I got an email from Kevin and everything that I sent to him is a go. Time for me to get to work I think

Incidentally though, I have already started laying the thing out, so anyone that has any last minute changes to their articles should send them to me ASAP so I have time to review them before including them.

Just to let people know, I just finished an initial layout of Rifter0. That's the cover, and that articles. That doesn't include the warning on the front page, the table of contents, Kevin's Letter, my little blurb, the catalogue, ect. It's basically just the actual content.

Well, for those of you wondering if you were going to get your money's worth (not that I know the price yet, but it's supposed to be low) there are 93 pages. That's just the content itself. That rules. Oh, also, about art work. There's not going to be much. Most of the artists that volunteered didn't follow through with the art itself. On guy did however. He's the guy who did the cover and he's currently busy whipping up some interior art for me. His stuff is really good and will give this original product an even more original feel. I'm not going to say who it is, and I'm asking he doesn't either to lend more to the surprise, but it should be good.

Oh, and for those of you that are curious, I'm using Adobe InDesign CS2. This is the same product used by most newspapers industries today.

Its a Rifter. I dont think any of it will be official. But the skills would be nice if they are made official. So would any of the material.
