Welcome to RIFTS Earth

RIFTS is everything at war.

Magic came back. Civilization broke. Now dragons, cyborgs, psychics, power armor, gods, monsters, and ordinary people are fighting over what remains. RIFTS is gloriously excessive—and that is exactly the point.

Don't try to learn the entire Megaverse before you play. Pick one corner of the world, one problem worth fighting over, and let the insanity find you.
