This is one of the best Rifts World books from the 1990's. There are lots of ideas, tons of characters, tattoo magic and rune weapons. Kittani technology is fun too. There is nothing quite like the look on a new player's face when you show them the art on the Kittani Dragon dreadnaught. Anything with 2 pages of interior art is sure to make them squirm. The biggest problem I have with this book is that all the ideas make want more specifics, more rune weapons, in short, more of everything.
