Hi my name is Jan Knoell, I'm 43 years old, and I've been playing Palladium's RIFTS RPG since 1991. I was the one to introduce RIFTS to first my two boys, Perry and Clint, then later to Edward May, a friend of the family. Since that time, we've had alot of fun, having gone through two different RIFTS worlds, (You can only modify a world so much before it becomes too complicated, and in despirate need of an overhaul.) and taken part in hundreds, possibly thousands of epic campaigns. In the very beginning I was the only GM in the group, GMing very often daily, and then later, when Clint and Ed started GMing, only once in a while.
Since Perry and Clint moved, we only game on the weekends now. With only two accustomed GMs in the group, it's a little tougher to come up with adventures, and spend much of our spare time working up new adventure plots and new creations. My personal favorite creations usually relate to villains & Characters. When they said in the Main Book, "Characters should not be a dime a dozen," they were looking to avoid me! :-) My favorite characters are Maddigan Morgan a Bounty Hunter/Mercenary extrordinare, Robert Silvereagle a Wilderness Scout turned Spirit Warrior, Red Hot a cocky mega-juicer, and Ann Bao a Lost One martial artist. This is in addition to probably nearly a hundred other characters. My alltime most vile villain I have created is Darius Vain, a demonic Necromancer who is bent on creation of an army of dead, and demons to attack and destroy anything and everything that he sees as...annoying.
