Bargain price and charity support. Not only do you get to try something new or build your existing e-library at a bargain price, but 10% of every purchase goes toward charity! We chose to support the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children with both bundles. They provide desperately needed help and services to those in need of them.
Rifts® challenges and stimulates your imagination like few role-playing games ever will. Its twisted, post-apocalyptic world of science fiction, fantasy and horror offers diverse player characters and gaming opportunities you seldom see in the same setting. WARNING: Read a few of these books and you may be hooked playing adventures that pit you against an endless array of aliens, supernatural creatures, magic and super-technology that spans countless worlds and dimensions.
Both Bundles of Holding run in parallel and END tonight, January 27, 2020, at 11:00 PM Eastern Time – don’t miss out on these savings and fun.

News Bits
Available now – The Garden of the Gods™ Fantasy sourcebook is selling like crazy and people are loving it (and other Fantasy sourcebooks they are picking up). Not only that, but this book and the positive reaction is inspiring my work on all my writing projects as well as freelance writers for Fantasy and Rifts® titles in development.
Garden of the Gods™ is a toy chest containing 200+ blessings and 100+ magic items to enhance your character, 50+ curses, 45 forgotten gods, over 100 adventure quests, the Garden, and more. Spice up any fantasy campaign with this imagination stimulating, resource-rich sourcebook – easily adapted to other Palladium settings like Rifts® and Phase World®, AND fantasy RPG settings by any publisher (D&D®, Pathfinder®, etc.). Have you ordered your copy yet? Available from PalladiumBooks.com.
In the Face of Death™ – the ideas are flowing so fast I can hardly keep up with them. Survivor resources in the city, some cool new concepts and survivor O.C.C.s, city survival tactics, life on the rooftops, traps, and a bunch of whacked out bad guys and death cults, plus a few good guys. I think this book adds some great new ideas and dimension to campaigns set in the Zombie Apocalypse.
Rifts® Coalition Manhunters™ is next to be completed and the ideas are trying to push their way out before I even finish In the Face of Death™, which I cannot allow. CS Manhunters will give you a glimpse into the Coalition States’ Psi-Battalion and one of its Top Secret Special Ops divisions: the CS Manhunters.
Rifts® Chaos Earth® Psychic Scream™ ... holy moly do we have some wild ideas, new psionic abilities, monsters, and adventure ideas for this book. Cannot wait to dive in and finish it up for an early spring release.
Rifts® Titan Robotics™, a high-tech toy box of robots, power armor, and gear, is a no brainer and mostly already written by Matthew Clements (the author behind Northern Gun™ One and Two).
Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume 2 will offer another 80 or so creatures, including 15-20 new beasts and some surprises. Please note, the limited time special Megaverse® Insider offer for Volume 2 will be made available sometime in February or March, so start planning for it.
Land of the Damned 3: The Bleakness, Lopan, Rifts® Antarctica, Rifts® The Disavowed™, CS Arsenal™, and more to follow. Shooting for one or two new physical book releases every month as well as a couple new PDF products on DriveThru.
Coming to DriveThruRPG: The Rifts® Sonic Boom novel was made available last week. Wayne is working on the final edits and typesetting for the second novel, Deception’s Web™, now, as well as putting together The Hammer of the Forge™. Hammer was serialized over a zillion issues of The Rifter® and is an awesome story set in the Rifts® Phase World/Three Galaxies™ setting. It will be released as two PDF novels (and eventually POD products) on DriveThruRPG.
New original Chuck Walton art and other collectibles and toys from my personal collection have been made available on my Ebay store, Kevin’s Toys, Art and Collectibles, with more to be added, like negatives from Rifts® Japan.
Palladium Open House – April 22-25, 2021 – will be here in no time. So excited about this. Did I mention that fan fave artists like Ramon K. Perez, John Zeleznik and 45+ other Palladium artists and writers have committed to attending the 2021 Palladium Open House? This will be the largest gathering of Palladium Creators EVER, anywhere and may never occur again. They are all coming to help us celebrate Palladium’s 40th Anniversary. Oh, and we are still lining up more. I’d love to get Larry Elmore, Freddie Williams II and others to also attend. Please do not miss out on this fun and heartwarming gaming extravaganza, because space is limited to about 250 attendees.
