[B][I]Rifts® for Savage Worlds[/I][/B] kickstarted in 2016 and, with this project on [B]Pinnacle’s[/B] internal crowdfunding site, [URL='https://peginc.com/gamechangers/'][B]Game Changer[/B][/URL], they’re offering the first [B][I]Savage Rifts® [/I][/B]boxed set campaign, [B][I]Rifts® for Savage Worlds North America: Terror on the Dark Frontier Boxed Set[/I][/B]. This set includes two 192-page [B][I]Rifts® for Savage Worlds [/I][/B]books: [B][I]Terror on the Dark Frontier[/I][/B] and [B][I]South America: Land of a Thousand Islands[/I][/B]. On top of that, they’re offering a boxed set of archetypes, map of South America, location maps, and a box of pawns. If you’re a [B][I]Rifts® for Savage Worlds[/I][/B] fan, this is worth checking out.

Between 2022-12-28 and 2023-01-06, if the campaign reached [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/metal.php']Silver Best-Seller[/URL] status, he’d add four additional pages to the 26 page PDF. If it reached [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/metal.php']Electrum[/URL], he’d add two more, and [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/metal.php']Gold[/URL] would add another four. This is similar to [URL='https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-itchfunding'][B]Itch.io’s Itch funding[/B][/URL] where you build up funds to build out your game, only [B]DTRPG[/B] doesn’t have a formal setup for that. Philip unlocked all three levels of [B]DTRPG[/B] stretches in a short amount of time, so the campaign’s goals are complete. I’m sharing this with the hope that [B]DTRPG[/B] uses this as a model to create their own [B]Itch Funding[/B] style system to encourage popular products to continue to innovate after their release.

The campaign page evokes old-school gaming and names like Michael Moorcock, Fritz Leiber, Karl Edward Wagner, Jack Vance, and Robert E Howard to suggest its mix of fantasy and sci-fi. If you’re looking for a streamlined OSR, one with added depths of player lethality, this may be the RPG for you.

The [B]Kickstarter[/B] campaign page for this project describes the creator’s journey, how they went from players to publishers and what they learned along the way. When the campaign began, they’d completed one adventure, have a second fully written, and have the other ten plotted, so they have a bit of a buffer.
