5.0 out of 5 stars The West is the Best, June 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rifts World Book 14: New West (Paperback)

For any Rifter, this is the must have of the collection. With details of the Pecos Riders and other such empires, the information alone is worth it. But there is also more character classes, weapons and gear than one can shake a stick at. The best part of the sourcebook it that it'll help recall some of the best (and worst) westerns you've seen and BAM instant adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good for Old West fans or people who like to use TW's, September 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Rifts World Book 14: New West (Paperback)

This book is great. I suggest the preacher, which is good for interesting play. For psychic players, there is a psi-slinger and it is great. The best list for the best TW weapons I have ever seen.
