Palladium Books® Weekly Update – July 18, 2013

By Kevin Siembieda

Boy are we having a productive week. I’m on fire writing and editing and the guys are working hard on all fronts.

UPDATE: Resolving website crashing issues

Palladium and its host continue to investigate and make changes that should resolve our recent spate of crashing forums and message boards. At one point we feared the site was under attack, but there is no clear evidence of this. We have taken a number of actions that should resolve possible and potential problems. Time will tell. Please have patience. We’ll be making additional changes in the months to come.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Northern Gun^™ One

I have had a very productive week of writing and editing on Rifts® Northern Gun™ One and loving every minute of it. Chuck Walton is bringing by a few additional pieces of art this afternoon and Alex and Wayne have editing on their desks. I think you’ll be very pleased with the final product. And we have a surprise for our Megaverse Insider crowdfunding supporters who have been so patient and understanding. Can hardly wait till this book is at the printer.

UPDATE: Northern Gun^™ Two

Chuck Walton and other artists have dived back into this dynamic book with more information on the power armor and gear of Northern Gun. If I can swing it, I want Rifts® Northern Gun™ Two at the printer before we leave for Gen Con. August release. We are putting 90% of our energy into getting the new titles you have been waiting for into your hands.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Megaverse^® in Flames^™

This is another book I can hardly wait to drop into your laps. I have sent out more text to be illustrated and will be working on it immediately after NG-2 is at the printer.

UPDATE: The Rifter^® #63 – Ships July 25, 2013

I have already approved the printer proof and The Rifter® #63 is scheduled to ship July 25. I absolutely love this issue. All the material is fun and compelling and I especially enjoyed the Fantasy and BTS material. This issue contains monsters, mayhem and secrets for Palladium Fantasy RPG®, adventure generation tables for Beyond the Supernatural™ that are wonderful, helpful and easy to use, and secret information about the Coalition’s Psi-Battalion for Rifts®. And Robotech® fans will go crazy over the massive photo spread of the 90+ sculpts for Robotech® RPG Tactics™. Everyone who has seen this spread had gone wild over it. Plus news and coming attractions. A very fun issue.

The Rifter^® #63 Sneak Preview – available now on DriveThruRPG.com

The FREE Sneak Preview of The Rifter® #63 – including the spread revealing more than 90 images of sculpts for Robotech® RPG Tactics™ – is up and available for your enjoyment. WARNING: Reading this sneak preview is likely to get your heart pounding and imagination whirling.

UPDATE: Robotech^® The Macross^® Saga Sourcebook – 8½ x 11 size

The typesetting is done and Wayne Smith is probably laying the book out even as you read this. In fact, it should be sent to the printer by Friday or Monday. Robotech® The Macross® Saga Sourcebook is being re-released as an 8½ x 11 sourcebook. 128 pages – $16.95 retail – Cat. No. 551. Available in August.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Ultimate Edition – back in print – Available now

As reported last week, Rifts® remains Palladium’s most popular game line ever, so we wanted to make sure the Rifts® Ultimate Edition hardcover didn’t run out. Same core material. Same price. Same quality. 376 pages – $39.95 retail – Cat. No. 800HC – Available now.

UPDATE: Robotech^® UEEF Marines^™ Sourcebook One

Coming this Fall. More about it in future Updates. Like I said last week, I don’t want you to think it was forgotten. And there’s more to come.

UPDATE: Robotech^® RPG Tactics^™ – Kickstarter Survey has been sent

The Kickstarter Surveys were sent out last week. We need this simple data returned to Palladium to move to the next stage – giving backers access to the Pledge Manager. If you are a Kickstarter Backer and have not received your email Survey, contact Palladium Books immediately at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call Jeff at 734-721-2903. If your kickstarter pledge didn’t go through for some reason, please also contact us to rectify this situation.

UPDATE: Robotech^® RPG Tactics^™ – Pledge Manager – Today!

We have gotten most of the Survey responses back, so Palladium will be sending out invitations to the Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Pledge Manager later TODAY. It is in this step that backers are able to select all the Add-Ons they wanted as well as purchase additional Add-Ons! That’s right, you can purchase as many additional Add-Ons as your heart desires, in any quantity. Watch for your invite!

For your information:

● When we ship to our Kickstarter supporters – ALL Kickstarter items and Add-Ons will be shipped at the same time, but depending on how much you ordered, they may come in more than one box.

● Kickstarter Backers will get these items as soon as they hit the Palladium warehouse this Fall. They will be shipped BEFORE they are shipped to distributors and retailers.

● Only the Box Game and initial wave of retail releases (see the full description elsewhere) will arrive in the actual retail packaging. MANY of the items made available to Kickstarter Backers – like the Monster, Ghost and others – will not be made available on the retail market until a few months down the road. Expansion Packs will be released in waves over time. Our Kickstarter supporters, however, get them right away! That means many of these “advance” Kickstarter items will not come in the retail packaging, but simple bags.

UPDATE: Palladium’s Marketing Continues

Our marketing push for ALL Palladium game lines is gearing up, especially as we strive to release several new titles and books back in print over the next few months. Conventions and advertising are a big part of that push, but so is word of mouth. Spread the word about the books that come out that you love.

UPDATE: Keeping Communication Going

As promised, I have been posting more Murmurs from the Megaverse® as well as on Facebook and answering my private messages and emails. I want you in the loop. This effort was hampered by our server and website problems, but I’ll be back posting away.

Gen Con^® Indy – Palladium Booth #1025 – August 14-18, 2013

Gen Con is coming up fast and we are pumped. If you are attending, make sure you swing by Booth #1025 to get the latest releases and books you've missed, purchase original art and art prints, experience Robotech® RPG Tactics™ demonstrations, chat and get autographs.

UPDATE: Detroit Fanfare – October 26 & 27, 2013

Palladium will be running a slew of gaming events, have a table and bring a bunch of Palladium creators. Other highlights include:

Click here for more information about Detroit Fanfare.

A mini-Palladium Open House. We have a BIG gaming and marketing opportunity with Detroit Fanfare (in Dearborn, Michigan, October 26-27, 2013). It looks like we can get enough volunteer Game Masters (thanks G.M.s – and more are welcome to join the fun), so now we just need gamers to attend. If we make a good showing running games and bringing in more gamers, we might be able to make Detroit Fanfare an annual mini-Palladium Open House. And why not? The convention site is only 20 minutes from the Palladium office.

Game Masters, if YOU are interested in running Palladium gaming events at Detroit Fanfare (October 25-27, 2013), PLEASE contact the Megaversal Ambassadors (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or contact Palladium Books directly via telephone (734-721-2903), Private Message, email, etc., but please contact us. This could be the start of something big and fun for us all. The rest of you, spread the word and start making plans to attend! Help us make this happen.

It’s all about books now . . .

That’s all we’re working on and thinking about. Rifts® Northern Gun™ One, Rifts® Northern Gun™ Two, Rifts® Megaverse® in Flames, and Robotech® UEEF Marines should all come out in rapid succession. And we have several other sourcebooks for Rifts® Chaos Earth™ and Splicers® waiting in the wings. Meanwhile, I expect to get the finished Rifts® Sovietski World Book at Gen Con, a manuscript for a new Rifts® sourcebook arrived in the mail last weekend, and a couple books for Heroes Unlimited™, Beyond the Supernatural™, Palladium Fantasy®, and others! Just the other day I was telling Julius and Wayne about an idea for a new Dead Reign™ sourcebook. As you can see, our imaginations are working overtime. How about yours? Game on.

– Kevin Siembieda, Publisher, Writer and Game Designer
