    This show is everything I wanted in a Rifts podcast. It’s so well done. After decades of amateur fan content being the only alternative to Palladium’s own products, this hits like a professional creation. I’m binging all the back episodes and ignoring all the other podcasts I follow.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

65. This Angel Will Drive You Crazy!
Q: What are some ways to use the Angel of Death in a Rifts campaign?
Josh suggests mystery investigations into implanted victims, rescue missions involving Mindwerks agents, and recurring-villain plots featuring the Angel of Vengeance or Marsalis. Implant side effects and hidden controls can also create character motivations and new storylines.
65. This Angel Will Drive You Crazy!
Q: Who is the Angel of Death, and how did she become a villain?
Angel Herrenisel led Mindwerks and initially worked to help survivors and rebuild civilization. After a kingdom allied with Mindwerks was destroyed and a child was badly burned, she became consumed by revenge, developed and used implants, and eventually turned to experimentation and violence against humanity.
58. Why does Brahma have four heads?
Q: The only thing I would have liked to see out of the Pantheon book is exactly how one becomes a god. Is it anyone who gains a certain number of worshippers?
The host explains that gods gain power through worshippers who freely donate PPE, and that becoming a god is tied to earning divine status via devotion and magical power, with examples like Gilgamesh and Heracles illustrating divine ascent through deeds and worship.
38. Rifts Megaverse Interview
Q: What motivates people to participate and stay on the Megaverse server?
Nick highlights the sense of community, access to a shared resource for games, and the ability to play across Palladium settings—creating a premium, inclusive space where members feel they belong and can find others to game with.
38. Rifts Megaverse Interview
Q: How is West Marches adapted for the Megaverse, given the different settings, power levels, and rules?
Ben discusses universal character-creation standards and conversion mechanics, ensuring players can move between MDC and SDC worlds by applying consistent rules and then adjusting as needed for each setting.
