The Last Shield
NEMA
Chromium Guardsmen, Silver Eagle pilots, rescue personnel, and soldiers fight to preserve lives while their chain of command collapses.
RIFTS: Chaos Earth
This is the night RIFTS began.
The year is 2098. Civilization has not become a ruin yet—it is becoming one around you. Magic is flooding back, dimensional tears are opening, and NEMA is still trying to save everyone it can.
From Vince's Table
RIFTS shows you the world after the legends were written. Chaos Earth makes you stand there while civilization becomes the legend.
— Vince, The Evil Dungeon Master
Survive the Great Cataclysm
Why Chaos Earth works
It keeps the wild ideas of RIFTS but gives players an immediate point of view: yesterday the world made sense. Today the sky is on fire, monsters are real, and every rescue may be the last one.
The New Enemy
Demon Plagues
Rifts tear open and horrors pour through. Each disaster can become a mission, a siege, or the beginning of a larger invasion.
The Changed World
Magic Returns
Humanity discovers impossible powers at the worst possible moment. Old rules fail, strange heroes emerge, and survival tests the soul.

In Episode 4, Vince explains why Chaos Earth may be the best doorway into RIFTS: you meet the apocalypse as it happens instead of inheriting three centuries of history.
