What books have the gods of Rifts and does anyone have a list of all the gods with a book reference attached?

Conversion Book 2 has the bulk of them - Norse, Greek/Roman, Babylonian, Persian, Indian, and maybe one or two others. World Book 15: Spirit West has Native American gods and spirits. One of the Rifters (I don't remember which one) has Russian gods. Palladium Fantasy's Dragons and Gods has the Egyptian gods, along with a bunch that are specific to Palladium Fantasy. South America 2 has some Incan gods also.

Rifts Africa has the Egyptian pantheon. Rifter #6, Russian Gods

I'm actually surprised they never did more Asian gods. they've got the Hindu in conversion book 2, and maybe the yama kings count for China, but they didn't ever do the Shinto gods, huh?

They were saving them for Rifts Japan 2.

Witch never came...

Some Kitty-cat "gods" are in SA 1 and Inca "gods" are in SA 2

Egyptian gods are also in the africa book. Rifts England has Dagda, Lugh, Bres and the Fomorians.

There was some powerful guys in Vampire Kingdoms though I don't recall which in particular if any was a god, a couple were called 'Demon Lords' I think.

Yeah. They have since been defeated/killed in the update. The gods of Xibalba. I was looking forward to the three brothers being updated, oh well.
Also Camazotz in both versions.

think there's also some gods at least described in federation of magic (specifically, 3 of them, all focused on magic, are the leadership of the city of dweomer iirc).

I'd love to see a Scandinavian book with featuring the return of the Norse Gods. I think that would make for an epic campaign area.

Oh! Rifts England has at least one god in it as well! I think he was a Celtic god? I don't remember exactly, just that he's there.

Lugh, I believe(he's already been mentioned in this thread along with Bres). He's quite mad.

And yes, South America 1 has a local rain deity/demon helping out the local vampire infestation(he's HELPING the vampires).

Manhunter has the Mulka, and that's all you need to know.

So SA1 & SA2, England, Africa, Conversion2, Spirit West & Rifter6?

Ugh... missed that bit. This upsets me almost as much as Meetal. Oh well, could still possibly be resurrected by some new ally, right?

Or if you give them deific powers like the Demon Lords of Hades have (like how some people want to ret-con Splynncryth into having them since generic AIs do in D+G) perhaps what died was just a Manifestation?

It a gods/shifter holy war story I'm throwing around. It's going to be decent.

um.. prepare to be disappointed?

I said I'd love to see it, not that I expect to.
