On the Idaho-Utah border lies some new towns that sprang up after the world ended. These towns look like towns coming out of the Old West. People go around in dusters, long pants, full bodied underwear, stetson hats, long dresses, and other styles from the Old West.
This is the New West, a place out of time. Most of Utah and Idaho are reclaimed by nature in the wilderness. The Tomorrow Legion is hardly known out here. And most people live by the Code of the West. However, there are places of Note:
-- Cill Onchon (Tremonton) This place is settled by elves from the Palladium world. They've been reclaiming the land and planting trees. The elves have turned the small town from a small town into a small kingdom. The place has trees growing everywhere. And on the junction of old I-84 and old I-15 is a small town populated by humans. They are there to trade with outsiders. Most people who visit Cill Onchon hardly see an elf.
-- New Salt Lake (Salt Lake City) Most of Salt Lake City is in ruins. However, there are a few people who make the valley their home. Since they had forced most of their population into the Great Salt Lake Desert after the Radiation Rift opened, about a thousand people have rebuilt the city in the west of the valley. What was once West Valley City and Magna, is now New Salt Lake. Because of the great magical potential there, some refugees from Tolkeen have made their way here and settled. There is a fortress here belonging to the Tomorrow Legion.
-- Curragh (Orem) Curragh is an orc city state. Built on the ruins of Orem, Curragh trades with New Salt Lake and Sanpete County. Built by orcs from another world, the place represents orc architecture. Although some buildings are built out of the Old West. The orcs ride huge wolves called wargs.
-- Caledonia (Boise) the once proud city of Boise is in ruins. The town of Caledonia had been established. It looks like a town of the Old West, except there are many different D-Bees here along side the human population. The Shoshone tribe maintains a presence here as well.

That should be enough world building. Adventurers start in New Salt Lake. I have the following books for Savage Worlds Rifts:
* The Tommorow Legion Player's Guide
* Savage Rifts Atlantis and the Demon Seas
* Savage Rifts Arcana and Mysticism
* Savage Rifts Blood and Banes
* Savage Rifts Empires of Humanity -- this one is the one I'm using the most, including Rifts World Book 14: New West.
* Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE)
* Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion
* Savage Pathfinder Bestiary
Those are the books (except Savage PF Bestiary) you may use to create a character. Please note that I haven't read the Supers book all the way through. But if you want to play a superhero in my Rifts game, that would make it possible.
What You'll Need
* Savage Worlds Adventure Edition.
* The Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide
* Savage Rifts Empires of Humanity
Optional: The rest are purely optional. Also, I have a lot of Original Rifts books, so if you want to create a character from the original books (say, like use a race that is remunerated in D-Bees of North America but not in the above books) we can try to convert it.
I usually run Pathfinder games here. I know which way the wind is blowing. But I have never ran a campaign in Savage Worlds before. I want to try something different, and I'd like to try Rifts. I know the Rifts world like the back of my hand, though. And I have run original Rifts games before. If you are interested in playing, please dot. I'll be looking for 6 ready made characters.
I am Elton Robb. I'm a storyteller. Lets begin . . .
I've never played Savage Worlds, and I'm not too too familiar with the Rifts setting, but its always looked so cool to me, I'd love to join! This would be my first time doing PBP on Paizo's forums, too, so if you're looking for someone with a little more experience on that end I understand. How should we get these ready made characters to you?

I suggest that you get a copy of the Savage Rifts Archetype Dossiers to jump in quickly. You will also need a copy of Savage Worlds Adventure Edition so you can learn the rules.
the Savage Worlds RPG is a rules light and leveless skill based system that can handle many genres. Shane was lucky to get a license for the RIFTS RPG from Kevin, so it's easier to grasp and play.
I'd love the chance to try out Savage Worlds really. I have an idea for an Orc Cyber-Knight. I need to hammer it out more, and I may find it's not feeling right, but that is the first idea I had. Thanks.

Since it's a rules light system, I think I'll avoid using a pregen If that's alright? I grabbed and have been reading the required materials and have been using the licensed SW character builder to mess around and I think I understand character building decently well. I wanna go with a Power user like a Techno-Wizard or Mind Melter or some such, probably a human from Caledonia with a D-Bee partner from Caledonia heading to New Salt Lake.
