Umh... I really wouldn't call RIFTS a "genre". Isn't it more like sloshing everything from every setting every into one setting, sprinkling with a fair dose of bad rules and less structure, and just kinda hoping the end result will work? C'mon, vampires AND dinosaurs AND cyber-knights AND aliens AND magic AND mutants AND robots?

Why anyone would ever want to play RIFTS, even with GURPS rules, is frankly beyond me.
