Rifts Geo-political_World updates

I've been editing this wiki page on various world powers in rifts in anticipation of running games to some of the more exotic locales (ie non-north america games). While most of Palladiums writings focus on the US region this great outline Ive been developing helps focus on some of the players in other areas.

http://rifts.wikia.com/wiki/Geo-political_World It also has some good map links!

Major players are involved in operations to gain influence with minor players often at each others expense, such as has been done in the past: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Game

Sparticus Accepts a Company Job. He just loves that 401K #39

source


Sparticus succumbs to the Company Harvester spell. Earlier compulsion was placed on him, causing him to desire a company job. Later the rest of the party was busy dealing with the battered John and recently recovered Thull in the Megabarn. Sparticus snuck outside while Max slept in the Megabarn. He stole the combat robot back and walked it to where a voice in his dreams told him to go. Noone even seemed to notice until a distraction was sent, 2 harvesters and 4 zombies.

The battle raged, Thull combated some of the Zombies and harvesters with recently used loot from a previous adventure, Smartlinked Ares Predator II Auto pistols.

John the Ex-Dragonhatchling used his magic knowledge while injured on the operating table to cast multiple image, invincible armor to defend himself when the zombies attacked. He stuck them in the doorway with carpet of adhesion. Then the harvesters snuck in past the carpet. There was a breif battle before one was killed and the other fled. Thull suffered some ice damage and empted the bullets of 4 of the pistols but otherwise the battle went well. Max the headhunter 9yrold apprentice to Sparticus, slaying one of his masters enslavers, Shakes his tiny fist to the sky in defiance, gathers their items, promising that as soon as he is able he will take revenge on the company that has taken his master hostage.
