Today, I want to point out one of the most interesting and consistently updated Rifts blogs on the net. I've had some contact with the author and I occasionally checked the site for images (mainly maps), but it wasn't in English so I largely ignored the actual content... until now. I don't know if it is a recent addition or if it has been there all along and I've just been too blind to see, but there is a "Translate It" button at the top of the sidebar!
SIDE NOTE: Feel free to leave comments such as...
- "DUH!"
- "Dummy, you're late. We discovered the coolness on Escamot Featherfall years ago."
- "American monolingualism loses again!"
As the blog started back in 2007, now I have about 2 years of Rifts-related reading to catch up on. Needless to say, I'm excited, and I would encourage other Rifts fans to check it out as well.

Quim, thanks for all of the work you put into your blog and for all of the feedback you've given me on my own Rifts games.
Also, while I'm talking about Rifts, I should mention that RPG Blog II will have a full week of Palladium content from July 6th to July 11th. I don't know exactly what that might entail, but I'm excited to see what he has in store for us!

I'm absolutely flattered and honored by your comments. Thank you! :D
ReplyDeleteYes, the translate-it button is kind of new, so don't feel bad. I'm pleased to hear it works for you (although the automatic translation is not as good as I'd like).
The blog started as an actual play posting, then evolved as way to introduce my players to the Rifts setting, and nowadays is my way to share Rifts stuff and thoughts about the game.
Again, I'm really pleased you like it!
The automatic translation does miss words every once in a while, but they usually aren't difficult to figure out by context clues... unless, of course, you open all of the posts for one year at the same time (like I did) and realize that the translation stops working halfway down the page!
ReplyDeleteIn any case, you really have put together a great collection of Rifts stories and ideas. I'm just glad I'm getting to catch up!
