Palladium Books® – Time to Game – Flash Sale

By Kevin Siembieda

There is a lot to talk about this week in the Weekly Update. So much that after a few hours of writing I’m still working on it. That means it is getting too late for it to get posted tonight, Thursday, September 17, 2015.

HOWEVER, we did not want you to lose any time on the exciting Time to Game Flash Sale with almost EVERY core rule book and a select sourcebook for each made available at a discount. Many titles at half price during this sale!

FYI: I think our next, and probably last, Flash Sale for the season will celebrate Robotech® and will make Robotech® Convention Exclusives (at the full price of $22.00 each) available to ANYONE for those FOUR DAYS ONLY, as well as a number of Robotech® sale items. I hope you’ve been enjoying these Rifts® and Robotech® anniversary specials.

News and the latest happenings will appear in the September 18, 2015 Weekly Update to be posted tomorrow. Game on!

Time to Game – Flash Sale – Now through September 21, 2015 – A weekend extravaganza thru Monday

Summer officially ends on Tuesday, September 22. That means it’s time for games! Not just baseball season playoffs and football on TV, but role-playing and tabletop gaming.

So this weekend’s second from the last Flash Sale offers a selection of core rule books and a choice sourcebook for each to get you started. This is a great way to try a new RPG setting or replace your old, beat up books. And is it too soon to think about Christmas gifts? Not to mention birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions?

One of the game’s mechanics, the Zombie Moan which gathers the undead hordes, creates a real sense of escalating terror, dread and suspense. Fun stuff and one of my personal faves. Dead Reign® is more than what you might expect. Give it a try. The sourcebooks expand the world, as well as offer adventure ideas and new zombies and dangers.
