Palladium Books® Weekly Update – July 5, 2012

By Kevin Siembieda

I hope you don’t mind if I start this Weekly Update off with some exciting, personal news.

My daughter, Monica, gave birth to her first child this morning

Chloe, a beautiful baby girl! Chloe Sage Stanfield arrived two weeks early at 2:02 A.M., July 5, 2012, at a weight of five pounds, 10 ounces. The proud father, Steven, was gushing with delight when we spoke this morning. We are all very excited. Monica, Steven and Chloe live in Arizona, so I cannot just run over, but I am as happy as can be for them. This is the first baby born to either of my children.

There was some concern as the baby was breach and the umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck. But all went well and mother and child are doing great! Awesome.

And the good news keeps coming

UPDATE: Robotech^®

You haven’t heard us talk about Robotech® much lately, because we have been secretly working on some big plans for that game line. As you know, I try to keep you informed about everything going on at Palladium Books®. However, sometimes we just can’t reveal our plans or projects for strategic business reasons. For example, we didn’t want a competitor trying to swoop in on Robotech® if we talked too much about our plans. Moreover, we get some fan complaints when we talk about an upcoming project and it gets delayed, or worse, it falls through. We didn’t want that to happen with Robotech®, so we quietly stopped talking about the line but kept working on things behind the scenes. Well, I can finally give you an exciting update.

This week, Palladium Books signed a deal to expand its current Robotech® license with Harmony Gold USA, Inc., including the right to produce and sell pewter game pieces of Robotech® mecha and spaceships. This has been one of the secret projects we’ve been working on for months. Our thanks to Tom Roache, Jon Paulson, Jeff Burke and Carmen Bellaire, along with many others, for their help with our investigation and research on the subject. How soon can you expect to see 1/285 scale mecha available? Probably not until next year sometime. We’ll keep you posted. Sculptors wanted.

But that’s not all

Robotech®: Genesis Pits Sourcebook is slated for final production and will probably see release before Rifts® Megaverse® in Flames. This entire time, Irvin Jackson has been working on two more Robotech® sourcebooks, and another freelancer is fooling around with other ideas for Robotech® sourcebooks that we are not yet ready to announced. (We don’t know if they are going to happen or not, yet.) I plan to give the Robotech® Role-Playing Game series a big push and a lot more love, attention and products over the next 18 months.

UPDATE: The Rifter^® #59 – goes to the printer tomorrow

Wayne is laying out The Rifter® #59 even as you read this. It goes to the printer tomorrow. It’s another great issue, with material for Splicers®, Rifts® Xiticix, Techno-Wizardry across the Megaverse®, the second half of the Kezel, a Palladium Fantasy® adventure and more. See the full description for this issue elsewhere in this Weekly Update. A July release! Goes to the printer Friday, July 6.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Black Market

I have been hot as Hades on the writing of Rifts® Black Market™ and artists are working away to depict the material. The book is epic and I think the source material it contains is going to surprise and blow people away. I think gamers will love the way we’re handling the Black Market O.C.C.s, and you’ll go wild over the wealth of information, the five factions, the inner workings of the organization, the new weapons and other gear . . . this book has it all. AND best of all, a lot of it can be easily adapted to just about any world setting. Rifts® Black Market has unexpectedly become a team collaboration, with something like six different writers contributing to it in the best ways possible. I’m making sure it all fits together seamlessly and having a blast working with all these talented and imaginative guys: Matthew Clements, Taylor White, Carmen Bellaire, Julius Rosenstein and Alex Marciniszyn. And artwork coming in so far has been excellent. A July release!

UPDATE: Rifts^® Vampires Sourcebook

The writing on Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook is shaping up nicely, but a bit slower as I’m bent on finishing Rifts® Black Market. I’m working on both titles simultaneously so they can be released a few weeks apart. The new art for this bad boy is looking sharp too. We’ve got one stunning book after another coming out. A July release!

UPDATE: Rifts^® Northern Gun^™ One

Rifts® Northern Gun™ One and Rifts® Northern Gun™ Two are both going to knock your socks off the way Rifts® Lemuria did. They are nothing short of epic. We are dying to see Chuck Walton’s finished artwork for it. Meanwhile, I have Carl Gleba and Carmen Bellaire writing additional weapons and equipment, and the book is going to be epic.

UPDATE: Northern Gun^™ Two

We should get John Zeleznik’s finished cover in a week or two. Chuck is working on the art for this bad boy too. Northern Gun™ Two is shaping up to be as amazing as Northern Gun™ One is going to be. Whew, the Palladium creative forces are on fire!

Rifts^® Northern Gun^™ TWO Megaverse^® Insider offer

– Advance notice – it starts next week, July 12, 2012

Yeow, that’s coming up fast. As I’ve said before, we had originally planned to do the both titles as “one” Rifts® Northern Gun™ Megaverse® Insider offer. But a number of you contacted us and requested that we not do it as one offer, but two, a month apart. The reason was that many of you wanted to get both Northern Gun™ ONE and Northern Gun™ TWO Megaverse® crowdfunding items, but could not afford to purchase both at the same time. What many of you had suggested was that we split the Northern Gun™ crowdfunding into two offers a month apart so you could afford both. Always wanting to please our customers, that’s what we have done. Having said we only intend to do 3-4 crowdfunding offers a year, and not wanting to do one during the Christmas season, we decided these two Northern Gun™ crowdfunding offers would be the last for the year 2012. So the LAST crowdfunding offer of 2012 – the Rifts® Northern Gun™ TWO Megaverse® Insider offer – starts next Thursday. We’ll present all the details next week. Note: All limited edition prints and sneak peeks in EACH offer are unique and different from the previous ones.

New Books Coming Soon!

The next seven books should come out in rapid succession.

• The Rifter® #59
• Rifts® Black Market Sourcebook
• Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook
• Rifts® Northern Gun™ One
• Rifts® Northern Gun™ Two
• Robotech® Genesis Pits Sourcebook
• Rifts® Megaverse® in Flames

UPDATE: Available on DriveThruRPG.com

As soon as we can do one, we’ll be making a FREE Sneak Preview of Rifts® Black Market available. That might be as soon as the end of next week. Many back issues of The Rifter® are available on DriveThruRPG.com (issues #1-52), as are more than 90 out of print titles such as Rifts®, BTS™ and Palladium Fantasy® first edition rule books and sourcebooks. A sneak preview of Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook and should also be coming soon. We plan to add a few more items in the coming months that should please Palladium gamers. We are also planning to move forward with PDF only editions of The Rifter® #0.1 and The Rifter® #0.2 – both are big, juicy digital editions of new, fan created material for the Palladium Megaverse® of games.

Don’t forget, DriveThruRPG.com also offers the Rifts® and Palladium Fantasy® Game Master Kits (both written by Carl Gleba and complete with maps, combat matrix, character sheets, spell list, and 20 pre-rolled characters created by Julius Rosenstein; $5 each). Of course, there are FREE Sneak Previews of Endless Dead™, Rifts® Lemuria, Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms™, and Thundercloud Galaxy™, as well as 90+ out of print titles, including back issues of The Rifter®, and first edition rule books for Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy RPG®, Heroes Unlimited™, The Mechanoid Invasion® Trilogy, and lots of other good things. ALL available as PDF downloads at reasonable prices. And there is MORE to come.

UPDATE: Kevin’s Online Toy & Collectibles Store

On top of everything else going on, Alex and I continue to add Palladium collectibles as well as a large number of collectible toys and action figures to my online store. More will be added all weekend long as well as more new items every few days for the next several weeks. Right now they include proofreader copies of books, Palladium gold editions, some artwork, some art prints, and other good stuff. Most Palladium items are signed by me, Alex and other Palladium creators. We’ll keep them coming if you keep buying them. http://stores.ebay.com/kevinstoys-artandcollectibles

UPDATE: Online Sales

Sales remain solid. In fact, we’ve been seeing a much larger than usual number of “new customers” in just the last couple of weeks, suggesting the Gen Con e-mail blast has done its job. Nice. And don’t overlook the Rifts® dice bag coming back into stock along with other good stuff like Rifts® baseball hats, bookmarks, Chi-Town Library pencils, T-shirts and mugs. Robotech®, Rifts® Lemuria and Endless Dead™, along with Rifts® titles, Heroes Unlimited™ and Palladium Fantasy® in general, are seeing a lot of interest.

Calls to Ultimate Insiders & Benefactors

With the holiday on the Fourth and our intense focus to get new books finished (I’ve been a man possessed) I have not made calls to the remaining Lemuria Insiders or the new Northern Gun™ One folks. Like I said last week, let me get a book or two to the printer first. Thanks. YOU are not forgotten. ;) Keep the faith and game on! I truly look forward to chatting with you.

Gen Con^® Indy – Palladium Book^® – Booth #1125

Gen Con Indy is next month already! Man, time is flying by. Palladium will be there with new and old releases, original artwork, prints and lots of books. Come on over to chat, buy stuff, and get books signed by me, Wayne Smith, Chuck Walton, Matthew Clements, Brandon Aten, Mark Oberle and maybe a few others. It will be grand fun.

There is so much more going on

Things feel like they are popping faster than Fourth of July firecrackers at Palladium these past few months. And for a change, it is all good news. I talk about a lot of what’s going in The Rifter® #59 and I’ll share more in the next Weekly Update. For now, I need to get back to finishing some books. Game on!
