In all my years reporting on RPG bundle deals, I’ve never seen anything quite like this. It’s Rifts World Books Week at the Bundle of Holding, and publisher Palladium Books has gone to town. There are five bundles, some multi-teared, and I’m going to put a table of contents to help jump (or rift) you down to the offer that you might like.
However, as a starter, there’s the RIFTS core mega, which runs until Tuesday, September 30th.

About the Rifts RPG
At its heart, Rifts is a post-apocalyptic roleplaying game set centuries in the future on a profoundly changed Earth. The cataclysm was not one of bombs, but of magic. A sudden return of powerful magical energies shattered the very fabric of reality, tearing open dimensional rifts to countless other worlds. This event, known as the Coming of the Rifts, flooded the planet with supernatural forces and beings previously confined to myth and legend, from dragons and demons to alien intelligences and elemental gods.
The result is a setting of staggering scope, where anything is possible. Earth has become a mosaic of alien landscapes and clashing cultures, where wondrous high technology exists alongside terrifying magic. It’s a world where power-armoured soldiers might fight alongside a cybernetic dragon hunter against a horde of demons, or a group of psychics could be tasked with exploring a newly opened rift leading to a realm of pure energy. This constant conflict between advanced science, psychic power, and raw magic is the game’s signature, creating a backdrop for limitless, high-octane adventure.
