[QUOTE="Derren, post: 7731495, member: 2518"] I dont think it is that complicated. You have Rifts earth wvich has portals to basically every other Palladium setting. In space above Rifts earth is the Mutants in Orbit setting. For Rifts earth North America is the main setting. But there are setting books for other parts of the world, too like for Germany or Japan. Basically everything declared as World Book is located on earth. Then you have established links to other dimensions. Wormwood is a strange gunposder level dimension and 3 Galaxies is a full blown SciFi setting. Especially 3 Galaxies got their own line of sourcebooks and can be played without mentioning Rifts earth at all. But those are just 2 of uncountable dimensions and basically elements from every Palladium setting can appear anywhere. You can have Robotech mechs in Rifts or a SciFi exploration party from 3 Galaxies in Palladium fantasy. The only exception (partially) is Chaos Earth. This setting plays in the past of Rifts earth during the downfall of the original civilization. But no one would really complain if you add time travel into it to have Rifts characters appear in Chaos Earth. And just because the Rifts have just opened it doesnt mean that one doesnt lead to 3 Galaxies for example. Each setting can be played as standalone or it can be connected to the multiverse. Currently there is a setting spanning metaplot going on as the war between Demons and Devils spills over into every dimension and thus every setting. [/QUOTE]
