    35. Prepping a Rifts Adventure

    Your friends are stoked to play Rifts, but no one has volunteered to GM. You feel nervous about volunteering because you've never done it before. Or maybe game night is getting close and you have less than an hour to prep. What are you going to do? Well, worry not, gentle listener. Ley Lines and Lore has got you covered! In this episode we will show you how to prep and run your very first Rifts game. The secrets to being a Game Master are within your grasp, and they are a lot easier than you think they are. How to Run a Rifts One Shot: These are the presentation notes from a GM Workshop I sometimes run at conventions and game stores, provided to you, free of charge.
