Palladium Books Rifts RPG Game Master Guide PAL 0845

Rifts Game Master Guide for referees

The Palladium Books Rifts Game Master Guide is a 352 page hardbound reference written by Kevin Siembieda and Bill Coffin. It compiles every robot, power armour suit, body armour, vehicle, weapon, gadget, skill, experience table and map from World Books 1-23 and Sourcebooks 1-4 into a single volume. A bionics index, O.C.C. and R.C.C. listings, rules clarifications and combat examples sit alongside advice on running a campaign. The book is supplied new.

Referee who wants one consolidated reference

Game masters who currently flip through dozens of supplements will find the combined stats, 500+ weapons, 290 pieces of equipment, 180+ vehicles, 100+ body armour suits, 80+ power armour suits and 300+ skills in one place. Players looking for character creation rules, setting fiction or new O.C.C.s should look elsewhere because this volume focuses on reference data and GM tools rather than player-facing content.

352 page compilation of World Books 1-23

The single specification that decides fit is the scope of material covered: every robot, power armour, body armour, vehicle, weapon, gadget, skill, experience table and map from the first 23 World Books and four Sourcebooks. If your campaign stays within that range the guide replaces a shelf of individual sourcebooks; if you need material from later releases you will still need those separate books.
