Rifts

[Entsuropi]

Fell, i demand a review of this. The last supplement review got my interest. I could go to RPG.net but RPG.net scours the brain of the ability to descern right from wrong, flame from civility. And i vastly prefer reading reviews by someone i know over a forum.

[Fellfrosch]

Wow, we've never done a Rifts review? I'm sure you've told me that before, but.... I'll see what I can do.

[Spriggan]

I think this is the third or fourth time a rifts review has been requested.

[Entsuropi]

And thats just by me. I believe in the principle of, 'keep on asking and you shall recieve, eventually.'

OK, so you finally did it.

Suggestions: Link directly to any and all individual books you've reviewed
Also set up a dang amazon.com account, man. You have a guide like that and you don't do people the favor of linking straight to where they can buy the book, and at the same time earn yourself a little kickback? No wonder you're unemployed (I mean that in the nicest possible way )

[Fellfrosch]

The extra 90 cents I'd earn off of that article is hardly worth the trouble of setting up an amazon account. I'm way too lazy for that.

And yes, I plan to link to all the individual articles, but I haven't done it yet.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

actually, I've earned $25 just off what 42 ordered alone on saintehlers.com. amazon.com affiliation works.

Let me just say that the Rifts Buying Guide article is the epitome of awesome...and I'm not even a big fan of the game.

Consequently, I picked up the core book and about 10 worldbooks for $2 each a few years back.  Other than the core book I've yet to crack open any of them.  Maybe I'll look someday though as some of my good friends are huge Rifts fans.

And if you don't do it, can I send you code to substitute that links it to MY amazon.com account?

[Fellfrosch]

So as a consequence of my Rifts article, you bought eleven books two years ago? I either didn't understand you, or I'm amazingly amazing.

$25, huh? That's worth it. How hard is it to set up the links?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Once you've set up the account, they have an automatic link generator. But if you're just doing a text link, it's just a matter of knowing your account name and the ISBN number (which is listed on Amazon's site)

For example, here's  a link to purchasing the D&D 3.5 PHB from my account:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786928867/arthurianonli-20

the first part http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ is always the same.
the 0786928867 is the ISBN
the last bit arthurianonli-20 is my account ID. So the only thing that changes if you only have one account (and really, why do you need more?) you just plug in the ISBN.

Just be warned, once I'm done with all these OOP books, I'm going to be inserting a link from each of my reviews.

[Spriggan]

you forgot rifts conversion book.  

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Rifts Conversion Book One Revised - $22.95 Recently overhauled, this book contains all the info on bringing characters and powers from other Palladium games (Palladium Fantasy, Robotech, Heroes Unlimited, etc.) into the world of Rifts. Most games would be better off without this book to complicate things for them, but the races are pretty handy.

uh.... no he didn't...

[Fellfrosch]

I counted the original version and the revised version as the same book. It seemed like a good idea.

[Mr_Pleasington]

whoa, you're right Fell.  That post didn't make any sense.  I blame my sleep deprived brain.

Still, good article.
