RIFTS? Never heard of it...

(Just kidding. Sound off here with a post if RIFTS is your jam, you filthy casuals...)

For those who don't know, RIFTS was the game that was such a hit in the 90's that it kept Palladium on life support for the next twenty-five D&D-dominated years, and was even optioned for a movie (and then discarded into development hell as a cashed-in bargaining chip in their strategy to get a better price for the rights to the Transformers franchise. But still, a Hollywood movie! That's never worked out horribly for the RPG in the past except for every single other time it's happened...)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are you familar with his webcomic, ButternutSquash?

It's like Oglaf, right? Some say he took down all his racy stuff when he became a professor.

I'd say it's more slice-of-life, like early Goats, but set in Toronto with more attractively drawn people.

Most of Palladium's artists did pin-ups for the swimsuit issues of The Rifter

I know you just said to tone down hornyposting, but I found one!

What's up with that cool glow effect? Did you take a picture of a monitor with your phone?
