Palladium Books® Weekly Update – Oct. 27, 2016

By Kevin Siembieda

The Rifter® #75 has shipped to subscribers, the Hell Followed™ sourcebook for Dead Reign® goes to the printer next week, Rifts® CS Arsenal™ goes into full final production, making plans for the release of Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Wave Two in 2017, and it is Halloween weekend! So this is a big week for us, Kathy and me in particular. I have been writing like a demon and handling several layers of business all week, and things are looking very positive.

As for Halloween, it is Kathy’s favorite holiday and a very close second for me after Christmas. We create a sprawling Halloween display that kids of all ages simply adore. Kathy has people coming from a 30 mile radius. Sometimes farther! It is wonderful to see Kathy in her element and so happy, and a joy to see how happy it makes the couple thousand people who come to experience it during the month of October. Halloween itself should be fantastic, as it is supposed to be an unseasonable 60 degrees. The last two year it was cold, raining and snow flurrying, and we still had 400+ kids show up. We get that same joy fulfilling Palladium’s Christmas Surprise Packages, and I’m sure we will feel joy and relief when we can finally deliver RRT Wave Two next year.

Read on for details about these subjects, and Happy Halloween! May it be full of spooky fun and good times with friends and family.

The Rifter #75

UPDATE: The Rifter® #75 – Available now

The Rifter® #75 has shipped to subscribers and distributors and should be hitting store shelves around November 8th, if not sooner. It is almost entirely “official” source material and adventures, and packed with gaming advice and examples by Carl Gleba and me, Kevin Siembieda. Plus the next chapter in the sweeping Splicers® adventure and source material by Charles Walton II and company, a Rifts® setting in Canada, a preview of Rifts® for Savage Worlds, news, and coming attractions. If you don’t subscribe to The Rifter®, do yourself a favor and pick up this issue. Seriously. Every player and Game Master who has seen the material in this issue went gonzo over it.

UPDATE: Hell Followed™ – 160 page sourcebook for Dead Reign® – November release

Hell Followed™ is almost finished. Not only is it the largest sourcebook for the setting to date, but there is a wealth of diverse source material for taking your group on all kinds of adventures, as well as a host of NPC villains and heroes you can drop into your game and run with. There are so many great ideas for players and Game Masters alike. Some of which could be dropped into Rifts® or Heroes Unlimited™ with a little tweaking.

I was flattered and thrilled when Alex stepped into my office after reading the section on Masked Lunatics and Heroes, and said, “Kev, this writing is truly inspired. I loved it. Totally unexpected.” Awesome. Hell Followed™ is filled with the unexpected, twisted and fun to carry you away on post-apocalyptic adventures that go beyond fighting zombies. More for the Dead Reign® RPG series is already being developed for release in 2017.

UPDATE: The Rifter® #76 – November release

The Rifter® #76 is already in final development. Greg Diaczyk’s Elemental Primordians™ will appear this issue (official source material for use with Palladium Fantasy®, Rifts®, Phase World® and the Three Galaxies, as well as other settings), along with Brett Caron’s Rifts® Pecos Empire™ adventure setting, the next chapter in the epic Splicers®: I am Legion™ mega-adventure, some Heroes Unlimited™ material and other good stuff. Art to be assigned very soon. At least half of this issue is “official” source material. It will be yet another fun, suspense- and monster-filled issue. Cover by Nicholas Bradshaw.

UPDATE: Rifts® CS Arsenal™

I am about give CS Arsenal the focus of my attention. Charles Walton is already thinking up concept sketches despite being knocked low with a strep-throat infection this past week. This is another book that will surprise and delight.

UPDATE: Rifts® The Disavowed™

I work on finishing it and Atlanteans next.

UPDATE: Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ Raw Preview Edition – SOLD OUT

The Raw Preview Edition of Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ is SOLD OUT. Thank goodness the finished book should be seeing release soon, and there are still advance copies of The Sovietski™ while supplies last.

UPDATE: Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™

More artwork is being assigned and editing being completed. Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ presents background on the Atlantean tribes and the addition of Crystal Magic and Shadow Magic.

UPDATE: Rifts® World Book: The Sovietski™

The concept sketches and artwork coming in for Sovietski are looking awesome.

UPDATE: Rifts® World Book: The Sovietski™ Raw Preview Edition – still available while supplies last

Rifts® World Book: The Sovietski™ Raw Preview Edition is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is NOT available in Surprise Packages. Sorry. Remember, only 150 copies were printed as a limited edition advance preview of the complete, submitted manuscript for this book. The Sovietski™ Raw Preview is a hefty, 160 pages of source material, cyborgs, gear and combat vehicles. Be the first to know what’s coming in Rifts® Sovietski™, planned for release early next year. Sold on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Get yours before it is gone.

UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™

Part of this week and last has been making plans for the release of Robotech® RPG Tactics in 2017. There are no final details or dates we can yet release, but 2017 is a must for the release of Robotech® RPG Tactics™. We are still waiting for some manufacturing quotes and final details, but If everything goes well, 2017 is going to be a huge year for Robotech® and Rifts® from Palladium Books.

I know this is very frustrating for some of our Kickstarter supporters, but we just cannot provide specifics until it is all nailed down. We don’t want to tell you one thing now, and something else later. Things are still fluid and changing.

In the meanwhile, we are continuing to offer support by way of Robotech® RPG Tactics™ game cards every day on DriveThruRPG.com, and more coming down the pipe. Things like the force organization chart and other RRT related materials, and game support and events for next year.

Happy Halloween

I have to wonder if the Halloween season has been inspiring my writing on Hell Followed™ for Dead Reign®. I mean zombies, lunatics, and conspiracy theories is the stuff of horror. On the other hand, I have been inventive and hot on writing other things as well. So maybe, I’m just fired up. That’s great, because I had plenty of days feeling down and low ebb.

As I said in the opening for this Update, we wish you all a friendly, frightfully fun Halloween weekend. Crack open your copy of Dead Reign® or Nightbane® or Rifts® and the Minion War™ to battle supernatural evil, and have a blast.

Surprise Package comments from fans like you

Every year there is a section where the customer can offer comments and suggestions with his or her Surprise Package order. Every year, in acknowledgment of our fans, and because they are fun to read, we offer a sampling in the Weekly Updates. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you who have stuck with Palladium through thick and thin. Keep those imaginations burning bright, have a joyous holiday season (starting with Halloween!) and game on.

You have no idea how much your comments and support mean to all of us. Everyone at Palladium enjoys reading your brief comments. They always brighten our day. Thank you. I have tried to write a short response [in brackets] when applicable.

D.M. in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, writes: Thank you again for this great holiday tradition.

[Our pleasure, D.M. Enjoy the Surprise Package and the holidays. – KS]

B.C. in Walland, Tennessee, writes: I am an avid player and fan of Palladium in general and Rifts® specifically. I think you all have done a wonderful job creating a Megaverse® for creative minds to play and expand in. Thank you so very much.

[You are so very welcome, B.C. We have some fantastic new material planned for the next few years that should blow your socks off and give you even more creative avenues. – KS]

J.W. in San Antonio, Texas, writes: Been playing since my friends in middle school introduced me to RPGs in ‘95. Palladium is still one of my favorite systems to run.

[Glad to hear that, J.W. Wait till you see what we have in store for you next year. It might just make you wild with excitement. – KS]

J.J. in Panama City, Florida, writes: Thank you for decades of imagination and fun. I always suggest your RPGs to players as the best all around game system. I live in Florida and would love to see you come to a convention or something in this area. I have been playing since the mid-80s and have always wanted to order one of these, may order another around Christmas.

[Thanks for the kind words, J.J. We are full of so many ideas for all our game lines. If everything goes according to plan, I think next year is going to surprise and wow a lot of people. As for coming to a convention in Florida, a) my schedule is such that I only do a few conventions a year, and b) I have not been invited down as a guest in Florida. Maybe in the future. Enjoy your Surprise Package and keep that imagination burning bright. – KS]

J.B. in Louisville, Kentucky, writes: My gaming group plays Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy® and Heroes Unlimited, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ZOMBIES. Anything with zombies in those systems could be cool, but I really want to get into Dead Reign®. Love the work you all do. Thank you.

[If you love zombies, J.B., I think you will love Dead Reign®. And you must get Hell Followed. It is the largest and possibly the best sourcebook for Dead Reign® yet. There is just so much source material for taking your adventures into all kinds of directions and loads of NPC characters to drop into your game as villains and good guys. I am geeked about this latest title for Dead Reign®. – KS]

S.S. in Arroyo Grande, California, writes (in part): I got the Splicers® RPG book in my very first Christmas Surprise Package several years ago, and I immediately fell in love with the setting.

[I’m not surprised, S.S. Carmen Bellaire created a great game setting. Watch for more Splicers® titles coming in the future. – KS]

A.F. in Bayonne, New Jersey, writes (in part): Could you publish some guidance on which books work well together for GMs looking to setup a particular kind of campaign ... Thanks for your hard work over all these years ...

[Great suggestions, A.F. I have been thinking of doing just that, and your suggestions reinforce this as something we need to do. Thanks for the input. For some awesome G.M. resources and adventure building, see The Rifter® #75. Oh, and congratulations on the coming birth of your child. That will be a joyous day. May she be healthy, beautiful and grow into a happy gamer. Take care. – KS]

D.M. in San Diego, California, writes: Played them all. Thanks for many years of fun!

[My pleasure, D.M. Game on! – KS]

Christmas Grab Bags

The 2016 Palladium Christmas Surprise Package Offer begins now!

Every holiday season, starting in October, for the last 18 or 19 years now, Palladium has been offering the Christmas Surprise Package. Our humble efforts to show our appreciation of you and help make your Christmas filled with a little more fun and games.

What is a Palladium Christmas Surprise Package?

It is our way of saying thank you to our loyal fans, deliver a little Christmas cheer, and put smiles on the faces of some big kids around the world. For you, it is a bargain, a great way to get presents for yourself and your gaming pals, fill holes in your collection, try new games and world settings, and to get autographs from Kevin Siembieda and available Palladium staff and freelancers.

$89-$95+ worth of Palladium Books products for only $45 plus shipping and handling. You are guaranteed to get an absolute minimum of eighty-nine dollars ($89) retail value in your Surprise Package. Often you get $89-$95. Sometimes more! Santa Kevin likes to make gamers squeal with delight and often packs in $95-$100 worth of goodies into many Surprise Packages.

It’s a surprise package because you never know exactly what you are going to get or exactly who will sign your books. We try to include many of the items on your “wish list,” but we will surprise you with stuff you are not expecting. Things like a special print(s), or issues of The Rifter®, or a Palladium RPG or sourcebook(s), a special edition publication, or other items that we think you might enjoy. Plus you can ask for unusual items, or special gold editions, art prints, miniatures and maybe even some original art. All items are “hand-picked” by Kevin Siembieda from YOUR “wish list.” ALL with autographs IF you request them. For many of you, this is the only way to get autographs from Palladium’s staff, artists and writers!

The best deal in gaming. For the price of what you would pay for ONE core rule book, you can get an X-Mas Surprise Package with 3-5 different titles (depending on the value of each book) worth $89-$95, maybe more! And if you want them signed, Kevin and the available staff and freelancers will sign each one. It is impossible to beat that kind of deal. Please spread the word because Palladium’s Christmas Surprise Package is only publicized by word of mouth, to readers of The Rifter® and on Palladium's website – www.palladiumbooks.com – so please tell everyone you know. Buy one for every gamer you know and have a joyful holiday season.

Your “Wish List” – The Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the fun, joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving. To do this, you submit a list of 10-15 Palladium products (or more) FOR EACH Surprise Package you order. This list of 10-15 items for EACH Grab Bag is critical, because you will not know which items you’ll be getting. That makes it just like a Christmas gift because it’s a surprise! Plus, Santa Kevin, who personally hand-picks every item for every Grab Bag, may toss in something extra like a limited edition print or T-shirt, or issue of The Rifter®, or something else he thinks you’ll enjoy.

You can order right now. Ordering now gives you ample time to try out a Surprise Package if you are new to them, and you avoid the holiday rush. We always try to make each one truly special, as the thousands of you who have ordered in the past know well. If you have never ordered a Surprise Package before, give it a try early, because you’ll be blown away and probably want to order a few more!

Christmas Surprise Packages are not just for Christmas. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you’re looking for a gift for a birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or any special occasion that falls between now and February, a Surprise Package may be the ideal way to go. You get a ton of stuff on the cheap, you can get a bunch of autographs, and you look like you spent a fortune.

This is also a great way to try that game setting you’ve wondered about (Robotech® RPG Tactics™ core box set, Robotech® RPG, Rifts®, Splicers®, Dead Reign®, Chaos Earth®, Palladium Fantasy®, Heroes Unlimited™, Nightbane®, etc.), or to get something for your favorite Game Master, or perhaps to get your player group to consider a new game or setting.

Rifts The Disavowed

Rifts® Secrets of the Coalition States: The Disavowed™ – Fall

“Desperate times require desperate measures. War has nothing to do with morality or justice. It’s all about winning or dying.

And you are the match.” – Colonel Lyboc addressing a Disavowed team

After the Bomb RPG

BACK in STOCK: After the Bomb® RPG

– Stand alone game and suitable for Heroes Unlimited™ RPG

Ever wonder what it would be like to play an intelligent, humanoid eagle? What about a sword wielding turtle or ninja rodent, or heroic wolfman, or a flying pig? In After the Bomb® you can turn a mouse into the size of a gorilla, or keep him small and sneaky, but with special animal powers, psychic abilities and human speech and intelligence. Or create that winged humanoid eagle who preys upon criminals. Or maybe that giant hamster, let alone mutant lion or tiger, is an animalistic brute who hunts other mutants (humans and animals!) and feasts upon them like a monstrous predator. The choices are yours.

After the Bomb® lets you mutate any animal you can think of, into a heroic crime-fighter set in our modern world or a mutant animal survivor of post-apocalyptic Earth — think Planet of the Apes on steroids. An environment where humans struggle to survive in a devastated (nuked?) world, and intelligent mutant animals appear to be the inheritors of the planet. Fun. Wild. Imaginative stories await.

The After the Bomb® RPG and its future world setting is one of the late, great, Erick Wujcik’s most fun and lasting creations.
