So I'm going to leave two ideas here that popped into my head while listening to the character creation. Idea the First- Bill's Character is not Sam's Character's Mother but rather the Dragon Rider (see Dragon Riders of Pern or The Inheritance Cycle). This would lead to Bill's Character constantly trying to saddle and ride Sam's Character. Idea the Second- After hearing Sam roll the psych table and receive heightened mental breaking powers I immediately was brought back to my short Magic the Gathering phase. The one powerful card I had was the Dragon Mage. I loved the fluff on the card which read "You'll bend to my will- with or without your precious sanity."

While I love the Dragon Riders of Pern series, that seems too, I don't know, normal for Khal (pronounced Cal). Besides, I didn't sit on that blasted egg for three weeks to have her ignore me. I love my little girl. She's so precious, and needs protecting!

Listening to the podcast now.
Another side note of the background that I freaking love with the setting: Japan flat out disappears and reappears in Rifts Earth as if no time passed. And like in every anime they adapted to be super awesome. Rifts Japan is badass and I wish there were more settings in it.

Yeah. The problem was that just like with everything else associated with RIFTS sourcebooks, power creep was dialed up to eleven.

Regarding the "Everyone starts with the same base character creation points": NOT TRUE.
I recently made my combat cyborg and three of your stats are pregenerated and you get two Attribute points that can only be applied to either Smarts or Vigor. I think one or two others have already assigned Attributes or Skills, so ideally you want to choose your framework FIRST then follow the framework to make the rest of your character stats. M.A.R.S. are super annoying to build, but once you do they are awesome and on a comparable power level with everyone else.

At 1h:52m in why does a Boggards song start? Bug or feature?

I usually don't listen to the actual plays - they are just to long - but the Savage Rifts-game has really piked my interest. It was fun to listen to character creation and I'm really looking forward to the first session. :-)
*get gloss-eyed and dreams about how Scandinavia is presented in the Rifts-setting*

In Episode 0, CaDave and the players talked about and showed off a laminated card that had dice info, a place for cards and other helpful stuff. They said they would mention where they found it on the forums. Anyone happen to know if that is on the forums and where? I'm getting ready to start up a SW game and thought they would be helpful for my players. Thanks!
