I don't know how many of you out there even played this table top RPG. But it was my all time favorite RPG and the openess of secondlifes ablity to do/create/build anything you want makes this kind of community a posability.
for thouse of you unfamilure with "Rifts" here's a basic idea of it. It's a world set in the future but where magic exists to so you are just as likely to see a army of cyborgs and mechs march by as you are to stumble upon cave with a sleeping dragon in it. if you want to learn more about "Rifts" fell free to ask me about it in game.
so the only ting about this community that might be a problem is there would have to be a Coaliton area and a Tolken area, and the rest could be a mix of both tech and magic, includeing an atlantis, and vampire infested mexico.
Ok so reply all interesed, and ask questions please.

ah ha ok i found the story line from the back of the book:
Sometime in Earth's future, after an age of peace and technological advancement, global war plunged the world into fire and madness.
Billions of people died, sending immeasurable amounts of psychic energy into the world's mystic ley lines — lines of invisible supernatural energy that crisscross the planet. The ley lines flared to life with unstoppable waves of energy creating storms, earthquakes, and dimensional anomalies. Where two ley lines crossed, the very fabric of space and time were torn asunder creating dimensional Rifts to other worlds. All manner of creatures and magic spilled forth from the Rifts onto the dying Earth, inadvertently transforming it into an alien landscape!
It is approximately 300 years later (nobody knows for sure). Human beings are emerging out of a dark age to reclaim the planet. A strange and alien Earth inhabited by unimaginable, and sometimes terrible, creatures.
Thus, the Earth has become a place of contradiction and infinite possibilities. Alien and supernatural beings trod the planet. Ancient gods, creatures of legend, vampires, faeries, dragons and alien monstrosities co-exist with human cyborgs, androids, giant robots, high-tech mercenaries and dimensional raiders. Creatures of legend, demons, and faeries use technology to bolster there already formidable powers, while humans augment themselves with implants, bionics, power armor, chemicals, magic and alien technologies.

Sounds like a pretty flexible theme that would allow pretty much all the types of things that I've seen in SL.

Has any one pursued this themed area. I am a new lifer but my tastes are Mad Max, Rifts and the ruins of the industrial age. Does any one want ancient industrial ruins as a neighbor?

Well I droped this community idea since i did not get enough supporters in enough time to get the sim, however. I have now met more, and was talking last night with spanky nomad about how we could even have multply groups like a "Coalition" group and a "Federation of Magic" group, And more, and have wars between them. Now as I mentioned before I was not able to get a whole Sim for this idea, but I have noticed that since launch the sim "Jessie" has really started to open up, i Belive since many of the WWIIer's left the game. This Sim would be a perfect Sim for this comunity as it is in the "Outlands" and waring is promoted in these areas. so i again put out the call. Who's with me?
