In comparison to Cyberpunk:
Not much for hacking the internet as that was a fall out effect of the Rifts. This system is not so much a dystopic future but a post apocalyptic future earth.
Nanotech, cybertech, body armor, huge guns, magic, psionics, dragons, giants, aliens, vampires, werewolves, supernatural, paranormal, and lots more.
In comparison to Warhammer:
Lots of heavy armor, piloted battle suits, energy weapons, cyber-knights remind me alot of the Space Marines and a couple of Orders that I can't remember off the top of my head.
RIFTS allows for system integration and conversion. You want to play a squad of Space Marines on Earth, it can be done. Have an itch to play a Roid Droid with super powers but burns out fast, no problem. Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, Drama, Super Heroes, almost anything can be converted into the Savage RIFTS sytem and played.
Savage Worlds just released to [..] Backers the Game Master's guide and four (4) battle maps. All of these are in digital format (Pdf format for all)
July 14th is not bad on the delivery date for the digital media. Here is hoping that the print schedule is not drastically set back with all the additional Backer content promised.
