Palladium Books® – Weekly Update – June 8, 2023

Update Opening Graphic

One game system – every genre – countless worlds – endless adventure

By Kevin Siembieda and Sean Owen Roberson

I had a strange moment the other day when I felt like a time traveler, because I have seen Palladium’s future and it is amazing. I can see it plainly because I know all the many things Sean and I have put into place these past weeks and months. I know what’s been set into motion and the products and results that will begin to appear in the months ahead. Some of them should continue for years, too. So exciting.

You’ll be glad to know the future will be filled with lots of new RPG products. And not just games and sourcebooks coming from Palladium Books directly, but from third party allies and licensors all working together to bring you great, new RPG products and experiences. Some will make you smile. Some will make you cheer. All are going to be fun additions to the Megaverse®. You’ll start seeing them soon enough. We can’t say more in the here and now, because, to quote Yoda, “Always in motion is the future.” By the way, see the Closing Thoughts for Sean’s explanation of how licensing works.

Here are the titles back in stock and other tidbits.

Consider supporting this Kickstarter and save lives

Relief in the Congo for God's Children from Human Trafficking (RIGHT) is conducting another Kickstarter to raise money for a great cause. Please support Building Resilience in the Congo (BRIC), a group that rescues, educates, protects, and sustains young boys and girls, as well as young women and young men who would otherwise fall victim to regional warlords and rebels. These villains regularly take children and teenagers from their homes and force them into slave labor, or to become child-soldiers and sex workers against their will.

Slavery and sex trafficking are unfathomably cruel and all too real. A pledge as small as $5 or $10 can make a profound difference to these children and young adults.

I personally know the people running this Kickstarter. They are good folks, and ALL the money (after Kickstarter’s fees) go toward building better, stronger, higher defensive walls around a compound that helps, protects and educates young boys and girls rescued from slavery. Many of the people running the program onsite in the African Congo are former child-soldiers and abused females themselves. People who were either rescued and received help themselves or miraculously found their way back to something of a normal life. Now they are trying to rescue and save other children from a similar fate.

The funds of this particular fund-raiser will go to the construction of a defensive concrete wall, a schoolhouse, and iron gate to protect the children and teenagers rescued from this horrific life.

Please contribute if you can and spread the word, even $5-$10 makes a difference. Thank you. – Kevin Siembieda

Rifts Coalition Manhunters

Rifts® Coalition Manhunters™ is a blast and on sale

People are discovering Rifts® Coalition Manhunters™ and they are loving it. Recently, a number of gamers, including two freelancers, raved to me about the book, telling me it was a great read and they thought it was outstanding; so much so that it should be considered an essential core rule book as important as Rifts® Sourcebook One, Atlantis, Triax, and Coalition War Campaign™, among others. They were thrilled with the section about the Seven Dangers first introduced in Rifts® Sourcebook 2: The Mechanoids®, and love the scope and insight into the Coalition States, its citizens, and its secret police. I’m glad people are discovering this epic sourcebook, so I put it on sale.

Rifts® Coalition Manhunters™ contains new source material about the Coalition war machine, CS society, CS thought police, psychics as the Coalition’s secret weapon, 80+ new and balanced psionic abilities that will blow your mind, the role of Dog Boys and Kill Hounds, and of course, the Coalition Manhunters – their existence so secret most people don’t believe they are real. ON SALE! To help more people discover Rifts® Coalition Manhunters™ I have included it in our current sale. Enjoy. Note: This book has nothing to do with the old Rifts® Manhunter book published under license by a third party company in the 1990s.

Palladium Collectibles – at Kevin’s Online Toy & Collectibles eBay Store

I am adding new collectibles and Palladium negatives over the next several weeks, so check ‘em out. Alex and I will try to post new items on a regular basis, so check in every week or so to see what’s new.

One-of-a-kind Palladium Books negatives (special and rare collectibles). Negatives are always very popular items at the Palladium Open House, Gen Con, and conventions, and are catching on as rare collectibles, unique in and of themselves. Before digital printing, pages of a book were laid out by hand on a board, and each page was photographed. The plastic film negatives were then “ganged” on a massive sheet of Mylar, 16 pages per big sheet, and the printing plates were made from the negatives – everything white, printing black. We have been cutting them loose and making them available to you. I am only keeping a few dozen pages of negatives and a few complete books for myself, the rest are all being slowly offered to you, in no particular order.

  • Each is truly unique, attractive, and fun to have.
  • Own a piece of Palladium Books and RPG history you will treasure.
  • Each was used to print the very book you may have in your collection (1981-2004).
  • Each signed in silver ink by Kevin Siembieda, the founder and owner of Palladium Books. He is also the game designer and often the author or co-author of the book from which the negative originates. And some negatives bear his artwork.
  • Each signed negative comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
  • Each signed negative is a one-of-a-kind work of art (on rare occasions, two-of-a-kind if a page or section of pages were replaced or a second edition was made) that resembles woodcut art, and a very dynamic conversation piece.
  • Each signed negative is on a white board inside a clear plastic bag.
  • Negatives looks fabulous matted or framed! Fits in an 8x10 inch matt opening. Each neg is roughly 8½ x 11 inches.
  • Prices vary depending on the title, the art, and quality of the negative. Note: Many have scratches, or blemishes, and/or an opaque medium on the negative. Still, they look great and are a piece of RPG history. We recommend you carefully examine the photographs of each item to avoid disappointment.
  • We have been making the negatives available, in no particular order, for a number of years, and will continue to do so. However, cutting them loose, signing and bagging is a time consuming process.
  • Note: The negatives from the TMNT RPG, TMNT Adventures, and some Rifts® titles are already sold out. Moreover, the negatives from many titles were destroyed, so when you see one you like, get it when you can. Enjoy.

Original art – My Ebay store is one of the few places where you can find original artwork by me (Kevin Siembieda), Kevin Long, Charles Walton, and others, as well as one-of-a-kind negatives from classic Palladium books (they look awesome framed), and other Palladium memorabilia. Some are concept sketches, others are finished works of art, as well as a selection of prints and posters.

Other collectibles include art prints, posters, comic books, Palladium limited edition hardcovers, out of print items, signed books, one-of-a-kind proofreader copies, Star Wars toys, superhero action figures, and many other toys and items from my personal collection. Yeah, I used to be a crazy toy and art collector. Alex and I will keep adding items as our busy schedules allow, but we have a lot of fun collectibles available now and coming soon. Hundreds of items. Take a look every weekend for new additions.

Closing Thoughts – What is Licensing?

I’m writing this in response to a Help Desk message that Kevin and I recently received, but also to those I see commenting online as to what “opportunities” you think Palladium Books should take advantage of. Many fans seem to be confused as to how things like films, video games, and toys — mass media products — come to pass.

First off, at Palladium we make books. We aren’t aspiring filmmakers or indie video game designers. Kevin and I like it that way. Sure, if a Rifts® movie or video game were being made, we would have a ton of feedback and opinions. Heck, I even have a degree in movie and video game production, but that isn’t our focus. We’re writers first. We could create a movie or comic script, but without a studio deal, that would take a lot of time away from creating the many RPG books you crave for no result. Palladium can facilitate the creation of movies and video games, but we can’t make them ourselves. Reread that last sentence. It’s true.

So how does a mass media product based on Palladium’s stories — or Intellectual Properties (IPs) — happen? Well, it’s nice of you to ask. It works kinda like a traditional dance hall. Generally, a girl waits for a guy to ask her to dance and then either accepts or rejects the offer. In the same way, Palladium is approached with licensing opportunities and makes a decision on which ones to pursue based on the company that’s doing the asking. Are they courteous and friendly? Do they have a lot of money? If we accept an offer from a poor match, we might miss out on another opportunity while we’re dancing with a loser. If we accept a good offer and things go well, we’ll likely agree to another dance (extending the time of the contract). For instance, the Rifts® for Savage Worlds license has gone well, so we renewed and continued the license.

Just to be clear, in all of these cases Palladium Books is the Licensor and our suitors are the Licensees. This means that they approach us and pay us a percentage of profits for the use of our stories (IPs). Some people get this backwards and think that Palladium pays money to the makers of Savage Worlds or other potential Licensees – for instance, if we wanted a Rifts® video game made – but that’s not how it works at all.

“But Sean, I want Rifts®, Nightbane®, Palladium Fantasy RPG®, etc. video games and movies – how do we make that happen?” Well, we make our games and stories as attractive to potential suitors as possible so that they are more likely to approach us and ask us to dance.

We could proactively court Hollywood or other potential Licensees, but it’s generally much more effective to put our efforts into upping our game than chasing phantoms. If mass media opportunities arise, we are open to them, but these things are outside of our direct control. That’s why you see Kevin and myself pouring our efforts into creating new stories and improving Palladium’s processes; those are the efforts that will bear tangible fruit – awesome RPG books! In the end, that’s the important metric and the rest is largely up to fate.

– Sean Owen Roberson, Writer, Designer, Adventurer
