I can't afford the books and just play at the few friends' houses that actually own any of the stuff.Yah, I first got into the old TMNT and Robotech roleplaying back when I was 13. After I got a better job I started scouring used book stores and RPG shops and got tons of the books (usually around $10 a pop), so I have a ton of the game books. The sad thing is that it is just so hard to find cool people who are into it around here.
Funny Rifts related story:
So I ordered the X-mas Palladium grab bag on year and I got a cool black Rifts T-Shirt. Now even though I like Rifts, I am not a HARDCORE rpg guy. I liked playing it, but it was more for me about collecting and building the collection of game books. Anyway, so every so often I dig wearing the shirt because I hope someone will see it and then we can talk Rifts. So I am at this grocery store at night and I notice this dude eyeing me kind of wierd. Then he is kind of creepily following me and then comes up to me and says kind of quietly "Are you a Neo-Human?" I am thinking like 'what the...?' and then I remember I have my rifts shirt on and I am all, "Oh, Rifts!" then we chatted a bit, but the dude was way wierd. :eek:
Jeez, 'neo-human'??? That was just too much. But, it comes with the territory I guess.
