Whose idea was it to make you backtrack through the rulebook for character generation
Aiden Harris
Fucking Time Wizards, is what.

My group started playing Rifts. We enjoyed its setting but stopped after only 2 sessions. One of the players was an actor and got some commercial deals, so we went on hiatus. Been looking into finding some new members for more Rifts.

Check the Forums of the Megaverse for more autists.

Nobody. People play the setting, not the system.
RIFTS as a setting is fucking great. Depending on where on Earth you choose to set it, it can range from hard sci-fi of engaging in hardcore mech on mech action, or practically fantasy outside of the one player who chose to be a Glitter Boy because he likes Railguns.
Pic related. Last good game of RIFTS I played was played as a Kaiju version of the Glitter Boy Corps in RIFTS Japan, played using a modified version of Exalted.
It is exactly as badass as you're thinking it was.

Is GURPS a good fit for the setting?
Alexander James
Anything you choose to use is better than the system presented.
MDC vs SDC is fucked, none of the OCCs and RCCs are balanced towards one another in the core books (let alone the splat-books), and Juicers are the worst nightmare a GM could ever imagine.
In-system, you can create a character who literally can't be hit after your opponent rolls to-hit successfi;;y you unless you roll lower than a 16+ on a d20 at level 1. And even if they hit you, you still have your armor to absorb all the damage. Assuming you haven't killed them already, because you're a Speed Juicer, your number of actions per round is fucking retarded even without free dodge rolls, and you probably have a vibro-blade or some shit which lets you carve through entire armies of anything at any level except other Speed Juicers.
I may be bitter about RIFTS' idea of "balance".
Grayson Reyes
You are bitter but also correct. Min-Maxing in Rifts is a munchkin's dream come true.
I've seen it converted to BRP, google Rifts 2112 and see.
