    Are you suggesting that the succession of hand-drawn maps that have appeared in the past 80+ Rifts books, with little consistency between them, wasn't "decent"?

    I know it's very D&D, but a hexcrawl version of this would be great. Rifts is perfect for a sandbox. I wonder if the monster book will have encounter tables?

    Now I see that the "highway sign" picture I bitched about earlier is supposed to be Chi-Town. Why would there be highway signs written in English, in a country where practically everyone is illiterate? THIS IS BULLSHIT

    ;)

    I thought of writing up my Pacific Northwest-based Rifts stuff as a hexcrawl at one point, but never got around to it. I wouldn't hold my breath for a random encounter table.

    I'm trying to remember if my Deadlands book has one...

    Palladium certainly doesn't have many. A few of the Palladium Fantasy, 1st ed books had them. Honestly, they seem like a very D&D thing.

    Robotech had some random encounters, but it was a more finite enemy force in a situation where the PCs were generally patrolling.

    After the Bomb had some as well. The Road Hogs table was good. That game was about travel after all.

    Right. There might be some random encounter tables in Rifts adventures, come to think of it. Palladium's encounter tables are adventure-specific rather than generic like D&D's.

    Hey, Paul V., just went over $300K, so big books it is.

    Casey G. Nice. I wonder if they'll add more stretch goals. (I wouldn't be upset if they didn't.)

    Just checked, every $10,000 is a one-sheet adventure.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
