Palladium Books® Weekly Update – March 16, 2017

By Kevin Siembieda

Despite snow, high winds, icy temperatures, and people out of the office due to power outages and other issues, this has felt like a good week. Productive and positive. We are getting a lot of small things done and out of the way and actively moving several projects forward, from ads and prep for AdeptiCon to positive movement on RRT and several books.

Rifts Sourcebook One Rifts Game Master Guide

BIG Rifts® Sale Event Part Two – March 16-22, 2017 – One week only

We continue to think of this as our “What happened to an early spring?!” sale. We are missing those spring-like days from a couple weeks ago, so this week we thought we would heat things up with a sale on Rifts® Sourcebooks AND Rifts® Miniatures! All available at a 30% discount from now through next Wednesday. We want to keep the excitement about Rifts® going, so here is another short sale. A good time to stock up. (Next week we show our enthusiasm for Robotech® RPG/Robotech® RPG Tactics™, in conjunction with our presence at AdeptiCon.)

UPDATE: Rifts® for Savage Worlds®

The core RPG titles for Rifts® Savage Worlds® are now available in stores. I also have it on good authority that Sean Patrick Fannon is working on the next several titles for this game line. Support is coming.

Rifts Board Game

UPDATE: Rifts® Board Game from Rogue Heroes™ – Kickstarter to launch end of April and run through May, 2017

We have been approving art and cards and rule elements as Carmen Bellaire fine tunes his Rifts® Board Game for an end of April-May Kickstarter. I can tell you a few things for certain: 1. Carmen and his team are putting their hearts and souls into the board game and it is looking great. 2. Carmen sounds stronger and better every day. 3. The Rifts Board Game is going to be awesome. Not just for the gorgeous, detailed miniatures, each one oozing with character and attitude, but because the game really captures the look, power and spirit of Rifts® as a miniature tabletop game. I cannot reveal too much about the rules and other details before the April/May Kickstarter launch, but I am impressed. More than what I was expecting.

Carmen is still shooting for that late April into May timeframe for the Rifts® Board Game Kickstarter. Our warmest wishes that everything continues to go well for Carmen on the game and hoping that two plus years of development and hard work on the game and the launch of his Rogue Heroes Publishing company pays off in the weeks ahead. The Rifts® Board Game is produced under license from Palladium Books Inc.

The Rifter #76 The Rifter #77

UPDATE: The Rifter® #77 – available now

Getting good feedback on The Rifter® #77, available now. Folks were pleased to see the conclusion of the epic adventure, I am Legion, and I’ve gotten some excited responses to my updating of Doctor Feral for HU2 and the adventure setting presented. Actually, folks seem to enjoy the entire issue, including the material for Palladium Fantasy® (a new city-state to explore in the Old Kingdom) and Rifts® (a Techno-Wizard city that will surprise you, and where trouble is brewing). A third of the issue is “official” source material; all of it is fun.

This is hot on the heels of The Rifter® #76, with more than half of it being “official” source material, including The Primorda, “Official” for Rifts® and Palladium Fantasy®, and the Splicers® I am Legion adventure. I thought it was cool to see material for Heroes Unlimited™ and Ninjas and Superspies™, and other good stuff, too.

UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Wave Two

Robotech®/Robotech® RPG Tactics™ dominates most of our conversations these days as we are busy working on all aspects of the relaunch.

UPDATE: AdeptiCon – March 23-26 – Chicagoland area

As noted in the prior Update, Palladium Books will be at AdeptiCon selling and demoing Robotech® RPG Tactics™. There will also be a selection of Robotech® RPG books and select Rifts® and other products available.

Also stop by the Palladium Books booth at AdeptiCon to get the latest news and a special promotion for the Rifts® Board Game. Carmen Bellaire cannot make AdeptiCon this year as he had intended, so we will be representing both Robotech® RPG Tactics™ and the Rifts® Board Game coming from Rogue Heroes Publishing. (Anything to help our friend, Carmen and his dedicated crew of creators.) Thank you.

Rifts The Disavowed

COMING! Rifts® The Disavowed™ – Secrets of the Coalition States™ – Coming Spring

“Desperate times require desperate measures. War has nothing to do with morality or justice. It’s all about winning or dying. We cannot bind our hands with high ideals, even our own, or worry about the laws of renegade nations or the rights of alien people. We must fight fire with fire. And you are the match.” – Colonel Lyboc addressing a Disavowed team.

The Disavowed are so Top Secret that their existence is known only to a handful of the Coalition States’ most elite, top echelon, with Joseph Prosek II the mastermind behind the Disavowed operation, and Colonel Lyboc its shadowy face. Find out who these men and women are. How the Disavowed get away with using magic, traveling to other parts of Rifts Earth and even to other dimensions in pursuit of enemies and strategic information that cannot be had through conventional means. Learn about the secret parameters in which these hard-boiled warriors, secretly hand-picked by Joseph Prosek II, operate, why almost every mission is considered a suicide mission, and why they must forever be the Disavowed.

  • CS operatives so secret that even the top military and political leaders right up to Emperor Prosek know nothing about them. And if they did know, would they condone their activity or condemn it?
  • Are the Disavowed heroes or renegades? Assassins or soldiers? Madmen or super-patriots? Or a little of them all?
  • Unsung heroes who keep the CS safe, or thugs and pawns of a shadow agency within the Coalition government?
  • What role does the Vanguard play in this group?
  • How do they reward their D-Bee “teammates” when the mission is over?
  • What happens to the Disavowed when they have seen or learned too much? Adventure ideas galore and so much more.
