Four pre-Rifts cities suddenly materialize from a pocket dimension. For them, three days have passed since the Great Cataclysm began, for the rest of humankind its has been 300 years! Pre-Rifts Glitter Boys, people, and technology clash with anti-technology traditionalists, magic, and oni demons! Traditional O.C.C.s like the Samurai, Mystic Ninja, Yamabushi Priest and Warrior Monks, blend with high tech marvels like the Dragon-Borg, Ninja Juicer, and Cyberoid. Highlights Include:

•  Dragon Cyborgs and new bionics and implants

•  Japanese body armor, robots, power armor and weapons.

•  Over 20 new character classes including the Demon Queller, Samurai, Mystic Ninja, Juicer Ninja, Glitter Boy Marine, Tengu Birdmen, and others.
