Publication history

Palladium Books first published the science fiction role-playing game Rifts in 1990, and followed that with a series of supplements, including 36 books in the World Book series published between 1991 and 2018. The tenth in the series, published in 1996, was Juicer Uprising, a 160-page softcover book designed by C.J. Carella and Kevin Siembieda, with interior art by Wayne Breaux Jr., Vince Martin, and Randall K. Post, and cover art by John Zeleznik. [3]

Reception

In Issue 8 of Arcane, Lucya Szachnowski commented that "There is a lot of good stuff here for players and referees alike, and if you play Rifts, this is a must." She concluded by giving it an above-average rating of 8 out of 10 overall. [1]

In the October 1996 edition of Dragon , Rick Swan called the book "an elaborate treatise on one of the Rifts game's most popular character classes." He concluded that the book "provides more Juicer info than a casual Rift-er like me will ever need. But I have to admit, I loved the sports section." [4]
