I'm in. I played the crap out of TMNT and Ninjas & Superspies back in the day, but actually moved on from the Palladium Megaverse before Rifts existed.
That said, I'm already picturing a convention one-shot that is a foray into the Lego Dimensional Rifts...

Since the backers got the players guide, I'm surprised no one else has chimed in again. Allow me to say that it very easily meets my expectations. It's Savage Worlds, and it includes the overpowered insanity of Rifts. Well done!

I haven't gotten around to really reading it yet... Which is kinda funny because all I have right now is time.

I hate reading my PDFs on my computer and I have yet to purchase a cheap tablet to read PDFs. Someone recommend me a tablet!

It's Savage Worlds, and it includes the overpowered insanity of Rifts. Well done! Overpowered insanity is right.... and I am so fricken excited to jump back into it! From an outside perspective (only read the player guide), I think they did a pretty good job of using the iconic frameworks to create the feel of the RIFTS character classes while having various background rolls to help out that rogue scholar and his pencil. It looks like it will play out like a supers or shaintar game; some high powered individuals intermingled with little guys trying to make it, fast and furious action, big damage, a lot of factions vying for power, and the possibilities for drama or ridiculous situations....if you dig those you will probably dig RIFTS. Now all I need is my GM guide and then we are ready to roll...

Mine is something like five or six years old, so I wouldn't precisely recommend it.... Four or five years ago, I would have... ^.^ I would love to get a new one, but it's still working pretty well, and wasting the money upgrading when the only real problem is that it's a little slow seems silly to me. However, if you want to look into it, Asus Transformer Prime, TF201.

My kids each have Asus Zenpad 7 I picked up on a black Friday sale and it looks good on them too. But, on the 7" tablets many PDFs do NOT look good and are hard to read because of font choices and/or graphics. 10" tablets and chromebooks to a better job in general.

Otherwise, if it's your first tablet and you're not sure if reading digital documents are your thing at all, buy a cheap one, get used to it and upgrade to a more expensive one later.

I still love my Acer Aspire. It's not too expensive and it works really good.

Ios is a great platform, and it's various devices are great products, but honestly, they aren't any more functional than their non-Ios equivalents. So, with almost all things Apple, you're really just paying extra for the Apple logo. If you're good with that, then rock on. If you are watching your dollars, then you can happily avoid the Apple tax without fearing losing any functionality.

I have to say that now I'm a sucker for any Savage Worlds kickstarters done by Shane. I did Hell on Earth Reloaded, Rippers Reloaded and now Rifts. I missed out on the Weird Wars 1 kickstarter and I'm still mad at myself. Especially with board games like Scythe giving us incredible worlds to play in that era. Also Battlefield One is bringing that era back up to semi-popular culture.
I have been consistently impressed with the books and the quality of the stuff, also the free early release PDF's. Shane knows how to do a kickstarter and if anyone's squeamish about backing anything kickstarter, I think its pretty safe to back Shane's stuff.

I've actually gotten around to reading the three books that they've put out so far, and I gotta say that I LOVE it. They did a great job capturing the feel of Rifts.
