''The Rifter'' is a role-playing game magazine published by Palladium Books. Named after its most successful game at the time of debut, Rifts, its content pertains to all the games in the Palladium system, though after the first three years they ceased accepting articles specifically for games based on licenses (Specifically, Robotech, Macross II, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but would apply to any other licenses should they be acquired), over concerns with the licensing agents. The latest issue to have been published is issue 70, with issue 71 in production. Digital versions of all issues (including the three special issues below) up to issue #62 are available through drivethrurpg.com , as are previews of some of the more recent issues. ==History== In 1988 through 1991, Palladium published a small newsprint product called "The Magic of Palladium Books", meant for sale or give-away at stores and conventions. Consisting of 6 issues, it had a letter column, errata for games, a few fan-submitted articles, and a selection of house ads and official supplements. The last issue was a double issue numbered 6-7, consisting of the contents of what had been planned for the two issues had they been printed separately. After Wayne Smith joined Palladium, the subject of a new Palladium periodical along the line of West End Games ''Star Wars Adventure Journal'' was proposed, to cover the entire line of Palladium's role playing games. Like the WEG product, it would be printed more like a conventional sourcebook, to increase its durability. Wayne was named the editor for magazine, and Palladium Books began requesting submissions for The Rifter via word of mouth, forums, and posts on their now-defunct official mailing list, during 1997, with the first issue seeing print in the first quarter of 1998. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Rifter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
