Mal's relationship was made plain for the first time in Aberrant: Teragen.

Aberrant: Teragen, p 12 (emphasis mine):


There are a few other places it's made obvious, like the letter from Scripture on p. 34. And of course in Adventure!, his unrequited crush on Max Mercer is mentioned.

On the other hand: I don't think Divis Mal being behind the Galatea explosion is ever covered in print in 1e. The developers spoke about it often on the old WW forums, so many people picked it up as canon even if it was never mentioned in a book. Since we have that nice...

Allow me to repeat:



This is not an issue of proficiency with the software. This is not an issue of resource limits. This is an issue of the forums being broken.

Our only recourse for fixing them would be to wipe the database clean and start over from scratch. We're not prepared to do that at this time. Things function well enough....

It's not like the commentaries exist but they've disappeared or anything. It's a Wiki, and you do something like this for one book, you leave room (often in the form of links) for people to do the same with other similar books.

In this case, I did it for a couple of books, but I never got around to doing them myself, so I left links for others. If someone wants to pick up the reins, go for it....

Well, "for Gentlemen." Extraordinary Gentlemen was part of the League, not the Æon Society.

When founded, they were the Æon Society for Gentlemen. In 1e it was dropped in the 1970s, so by the time of N-Day (1998) it had already been simplified to just the Æon Society. In the new edition, "for Gentlemen" is already falling out of favour by WWII....

You'd have to talk to IPR about how well-suited they are for shipping during the quarantining, but in general IPR ships just fine to France.

The only Kickstarter rewards which have not yet been delivered are the Dawn and Meridian novellas,and the core and Æon digital wallpapers.

The monthly Kickstarter updates enumerate exactly what's been delivered and what has yet to be delivered.

Please keep in mind this is a Trinity Continuum forum: if someone wants to discuss how to adapt RIFTS to the Trinity Continuum rules, cool. If, however, you're looking for recommendations on just playing RIFTS, there are better places than this one for that conversation....

1e even showed examples of Qin writing (or at least symbolism) with the various Houses.

We have not defined the way time travel works, no. That's for a future supplement.

I should note that Max Mercer has indeed travelled through time without resorting to alternate timelines, so it's a theoretical possibility.

I wouldn't necessarily quantify Hunter 2e as having "embraced metaplot." Your mileage may vary.

So no, I don't expect the other CofD game lines will include metaplot in any definitive sense. None of them have so far, and Hunter is the last of the 1e lines to get a 2e update....
