Palladium Books® Weekly Update – July 5, 2013

By Kevin Siembieda

Hey everyone, considering it’s the Independence Day long weekend (and the fact that we’re swamped), I’m going to keep this one very short. In fact, we thought about skipping this week’s Update entirely, but didn't want anybody to worried if they didn't get one. We will post a usual style Weekly Update next Thursday.

We continue to be very busy on many fronts. The days are flying by much too quickly, but all kinds of exciting things are going on and product moving forward. Some days we’re creatively on fire, some days not so much. Monday, for example, I got up at 5:00 AM, did my half hour walk, ate breakfast and was at work by 6:30 AM. I worked away till around 8:30 PM. Tuesday was also productive. Wednesday was a day spent in meetings with a number of people to put various things in place. Thursday, the 4th of July, we all took the day off. Today, Friday, despite actually having taken Independence Day off, I feel sluggish and tired.

My writing time this week was divided between The Rifter® #63 and Rifts® Northern Gun™ One. My time was also divided between more approvals and correspondences about Robotech® RPG Tactics™ and plans for making Detroit Fanfare the new home of the Palladium Open House. The latter is very exciting, but I’ll tell you about it next week.

The Rifter® #63 is going to be another sweet issue with a bunch of cool stuff for Palladium Fantasy RPG®, Rifts® and Beyond the Supernatural™. I really like the material Wayne has selected for this issue.

The Kickstarter survey should be sent out next week sometime and the Pledge Manger available shortly thereafter.

I still haven’t found the time to write more Murmurs from the Megaverse® or do a lot of posting on Facebook, but I will do so. I even answered a few of my private messages. But we remain slammed with work. In fact, Wayne, Jeff and I will be working all weekend. So are Chuck Walton and Madman Mike Leonard as they bang out a few illustrations for The Rifter® #63.

Happy Independence Day weekend. I hope most of you are able to take some time off for fun over the weekend. Wish we could, but deadlines are screaming for our attention. Enjoy your friends, family and barbecues, unleash those imaginations and game on!
