Product: Wield the RPG is at an estimated 50 pages, making it a small but potentially big game. As a player you are both the Vatcha (the ancient power or wespon) and the wielder, and have to strike a balance between your power and how much the wielder needs to accomplish goals and sway the tides to the artifact’s liking.
Quality: Great quality. Packed with tons of information on setting, the powers, short stories, and all available at very low cost.
Tagline: “You are an ancient and powerful artifact, and those who wield you believe themselves heroes…but they are nothing more than disposable pawns.”
Estimated Delivery: July 2014, any delays will be likely attributed to dice or jewelry orders, which take more time to process, make, and ship.

Toon Tuesday: Wid the Iktektumik Hunter-Gatherer (Rifts)

I was always interested in the Diggers, but I’ve never made one until now. Their culture and lifestyle is similar to that of the Native American people, and thus they are similar to the Mastodonoid race (who are like the Inuit tribes), which I have enjoyed playing in the past. I do my best to avoid cultural stereotypes and appropriation, so let me know if anything is off!

Game: Palladium Books’ Rifts RPG
Books Needed: Rifts Ultimate Edition, and Rifts World Book 30: D-Bees of North America.
Recommended Setting: Best suited to New West, Mexico, or other hot, desert regions. Ill-suited for high tech campaigns, better made for a wandering adventure that likens to his nomadic or Native tribal culture, or one that involves lots of tunnels and climbing.
