I'd heard that beyond the supernatural actually did really badly. Its potentially the reason why so much focus has to be put on Rifts, to restore finances.

Anyway, at a personal interest level, the author doesn't need to be there, esspecially when a lot of recent Rifts books are reprint-o-rama's. From what Bill Coffin himself has said, KS just doesn't play Rifts more than twice a year, if that. I would say thats the better indicator of personal interest, and on a creative level, personal interest is a must.

Its not uncommon though, to write for games without playing them: Monte Cook wrote a fairly good rant on the subject: http://www.montecook.com/arch_anrant10.html
