Roswell NM in Rifts
While working through some options for a group, I noticed that Roswell was on the Lone Star map. But side from being ON the map, I can find no mention. I have NO issue coming up with my own stuff, but I prefer not to completely ignore canon sources if I can help it. Is there anything on it? I scoured New West, Spirit West, Lone Star, Vampire Kingdoms (revised and original), Arzno, RUE, and Aftermath. Is it the home of Reid's Rangers? I can't find a location for Fort Reid either. I assume this will come from the new vampire sourcebook, but that's a bit beyond my ability to wait for.
Of course no information is perfectly acceptable, I just don't like ignoring canon unless I NEED to.

It's not Fort Reid - that's in Northwest Mexico. Beyond that, I've got nothing.

I'd make it a rogue Republican Enclave who believe that the "Real" President (The Great Ronald Reagan the IV) was taken by aliens from outer space. They are securing the location for his return (as Roswell has an Alien beacon for Alien Navigation purposes).
Some of the Republicans are not only waiting for the President, but also the return of Elvis and Michael Jackson.

I was figuring that they put it there simply so that people know where it is if they wanting their party to go there to explore. With all of the "legends" of the old west that survived, I am sure that legends and rumors of Roswell would have survived, piquing numerous Rogue Scholars and Scientists interest.

Re: Roswell NM in Rifts
Maybe three or four hours from the Lone Star Compound (less by air)? That's a ballsy RS. I gave them the option of going through Albuquerque (which I've decided is a post-volcanic oasis much like Flagstaff, except without the Screamers (see Arzno for details) which is the shortest route. Roswell adds a few hours, and going through El Paso adds more. They are under instructions to avoid Fort Apache, which knocks out the short route.

Re: Roswell NM in Rifts
in WB13 Lone Star pg. 98 Psi-X Alien are named under the Roswell Alien. So, the place surely exist in the Rifts World (and at least the OVNI museum or it's information is still available).
