Mini-Update – Palladium Books®

February 25, 2025

By the time most of you read this, Wayne and I will be at the GAMA Trade Show making sure retailers know the TMNT & Other Strangeness RPG Redux is coming this spring. And let me tell you, the books and accessories are all looking amazing. We are pumped up about TMNT, but there are a lot of other new releases for Rifts, Palladium Fantasy, Beyond the Supernatural, etc. that we hope to dazzle you with throughout the year as well, and we’ll be hyping up all our game lines. Visit us at booth #1176.

Hardcover Sale! Don’t miss out on our big hardcover sale. It is one of the biggest sales we have done for hardcovers! Select sourcebooks are also on sale. It runs through the week and ends shortly after we get back, March 4th, so time is running out. See details below.

NEW SALE on DriveThru: We just added a similar sale on DriveThruRPG.com for RPG PDF books and select sourcebooks. Both sales end after midnight, March 4, 2025.

Palladium Hardcover Sale

Hardcover Sale – Save 25% – Sale Ends Next Week Tuesday, March 4th

This sale offers many hardcover RPGs and one or a few sourcebooks to go along with them. This is a bigger savings on hardcovers than you may think. As much as Palladium has held the line on the price of our books, we will be increasing the cover price of many titles over the months ahead. That starts with the hardcovers, which will be increasing $5-$10. Hardcovers currently selling for $36.99, like Dead Reign® RPG and Chaos Earth® RPG, will soon sell for $44.99. So get them now at sale prices based on the current, low retail price (while supplies last). That’s a significant savings when you buy before the prices increase. Get ‘em while you can and save. Sale ends after midnight March 4, 2025.

To earn a free GM badge, all you need to do is run 4 games with 6 or more players in each game, 4 hours each. This will earn you enough credits with Gen Con to earn a GM badge - $155 value!

(See Gen Con’s website for details about the info needed for each game listing; G.M.’s name, number of players, length of time, name of game, difficulty level, etc.). This enables Palladium to coordinate and submit them as a batch to Gen Con and guarantees to have your event listed in the onsite Gen Con Program Book. Being listed onsite is very important to have full attendance for your event. This date gives us enough time to compile and send Gen Con everything they need. Thank you!

CLOSING THOUGHTS

See you at GAMA Trade Show and other Conventions

We have a new display, new table cover, new 2025 Catalog, some product samples and plenty to talk about at the event, so if you are attending, please stop by Palladium Books Booth #1176. As always we are happy to chat a bit and sign any books you may bring for us.

Caleb and I went to the Great Lakes Comic-Con in Warren, Michigan on Saturday to visit a bit with the always awesome Kevin Eastman, got to meet his wife and get some books signed. I love Kevin, what a great guy. We also met Eric Talbot in person and had a nice chat with him. Boy, did he do an awesome Tribute illustration for TMNT Transdimensional Adventures.

I also got to talk with some old friends: my comic book mentor Arvell Jones, artist Vince Locke, Michele and Mikki Ivey, and fan pals Rob and Dan, among others. Met some new folks including an artist I really liked, Allison Howle, and the gent who runs the Grand Rapids Comic-Con. In fact, he is considering bringing me in as a guest at the November Grand Rapids Comic-Con. I’ll keep you posted. The only other conventions planned for this year are Gen Con (August), the Alliance Open House (September) and Granite State Comic-Con (September).

We are looking forward to wheeling and dealing at the GAMA Trade Show, chatting with retailers, and meeting more friends there. Enjoy the Hardcover and DriveThruRPG sales and game on.
