Personally, I'd rather see Rifts: India. Antarctica isn't terribly interesting to me.

Mega Damage kilts sounds awesome, aimed shots just became relevant!

Still upset that most of these world books have been finished for a decade or more they just don't want to release them for some reason.


Hopefully Rifts Antarctica can be digital only release with like a 100 gorgeous hard copy run for a few hundred per book(would probably buy 2 plus the digital lol).

I am still unclear why Palladium Books doesn't pursue these options through kick starter. I'd throw quite a few hundred their way for Antarctica material.. Been waiting on the book since I was 12 years old..29 this year now... And lost the fan made version in churnoble lol.

i'd like to see what they come up with for it (and the rest of the world locations) i would guess global warming is less of an issue (otherwise with atlantis coming back a lot more would be under water) and probably at least a few pre-rift research stations , we already know giant squid and sperm whales would be in the area below the ice but there should be a lot more too

Scottish missile launcher, if you are the receiving end it never a "pleasant thing"
I hate it when my mind wonders,
Because I have no idea what it will bring back with it.

Bringing new meaning to the phrase 'up the skirt' shot.

Until your discover that Scotsmen, like Wormwood natives, are NATURALLY MEGADAMAGE, and that you just tonked off a Highlander.

You don't wanna know what they do with cabers (tree-trunks) when they're mad. Just... no.
Then there's the hammer toss using their opponents as stated object. :D

They only use the payload caddies when they run out of 'ammo' to launch.

Do you think rifts scottland will have rules for golf courses in it? :-D

I would look forward to the "bard" spells relating to the Bag Pipes in such a book hahah. Perhaps some HU2e bagpipe sound based powers snuck in there too.

I kinda agree all highlanders should be MD creatures by nature hahah.
