S'ha creat un nou blog de Rifts: The Rifts Journal.
Aquest blog vol simular una agència de notícies que recopila alguns dels successos de la terra de Rifts. S'estructura a través de diferents pàgines, cadascuna de les quals es fixa en una ciutat concreta. Està obert a l'incoporació de noves ciutats. Sens dubte és un bon lloc per treure idees de partides.

L'estil de Rifts
En Zachary, del RPG Blog II, té clar quin ha de ser l'estil de joc de Rifts:
Genial!
The Style: Rules-loose, lots of carnage, rulings not rules, lots of explosions, running gun battles, investigation, rewards for quick thinking, planning, and really, really big opponents. Not a game for rules-lawyering or min/maxing.
Genial!

Malaggar
Últim personatge sortit del magí de Josh Cornwell des del seu Outsyder Gaming.
Name: Malaggar
Alignment: Anarchist (Selfish)
Background: Although he once worked for Naruni Enterprises, Malaggar has fallen out of favor with his former employers. When a pair of repo-bots were sent out to collect a debt from a powerful lizard mage, Malaggar wisely stepped aside before the angry mage returned to settle the score. Naruni Enterprises wasn't happy about the loss of an agent, but they were absolutely furious when they discovered how much equipment Malaggar took with him when he left! These days, Malaggar spends much of his time searching for a way back to Phaseworld, but every time he feels close, the presence of Naruni agents keeps him at bay. Eventually, he hopes to grow strong enough in his own magical abilities to just open a portal himself, but that day seems a long way off.

Agains the Shadow Campaign
Després del comiat de René "elmago" López sembla que Agains the Shadow ha estat absorbit per un Rifts. Qui sap on para ara el blog, però el cert és que molts de nosaltres el trobarem a faltar. Des que el vaig començar a llegir a les pàgines de Salgan al Sol i de Nación Rolera, en René ha estat una font d'inspiració i sabiesa en això que en diem el món del rol. A part, és un dels seguidors i comentaristes d'aquest humil blog especialitzat en Rifts, la qual cosa m'omple d'orgull i diu molt del seu interès per tot allò relacionat amb el rol i la seva afició.Torna René!!! Volem un blog teu sobre rol!!

Rifts al Cercabloc
Ja hi som. Ja hem fitxat al Cercabloc. El Directori de Blocs dels Països Catalans. Ens hem hagut d'incriure en l'apartat de "culturals", per què encara (suposo que acabarà sortint) no n'hi ha un de "lúdics". Però això és igual. M'ha agradat participar en la iniciativa de recollir els blocs escrits en llengua catalana. Si tu també hi vols ser només cal pitjis aquí i et donis d'alta.

La comunitat resisteix
Recentment he descobert El Palantir blog de blogs roleros i amb ell la gran comunitat rolera que hi ha als països hispano-parlants. He quedat molt gratament sorprès de veure blogs i pàgines webs on es discuteix el futur dels jocs de rol, de sistemes independents, de notícies varies, etc. que no només es fixen amb els quatre grans jocs de sempre, sinó que analitzen la producció nacional i internacional en castellà, aporten noves idees, i en general estableixen una comunitat sòlida. En general tothom coincideix que la cosa del rol està fatal, però veien la gran quantitat d’aportacions, l’anàlisi que es se’n fa i la periodicitat de publicació no he pogut evitar permetre’m un bri d’esperança. Acostumat a llegir i participar en blogs com Treasure tables (que sembla que plega) amb enveja, on els jugadors o directors de joc comparteixen les seves experiències, m’ha fet molta gràcia trobar-ne en espanyol com Frankenrol, Necrorama, Agains the Shadow o Nacionrolera on generalment hi ha un gran nivell d’entrades. Llàstima que sovint hi hagi poca discussió al darrera.
No, aquesta no és una entrada sobre el Rifts o la meva campanya, però trobar aquests blogs m’ha fet gràcia i ho volia plasmar en algun lloc.
