Palladium Books® Weekly Update – March 22, 2017

By Kevin Siembieda

Yep, it is an early Weekly Update as we do final prep for AdeptiCon. Palladium’s booth offers Robotech® RPG Tactics™ demos, RRT product, and select Rifts® and other RPG books and poker decks. Stop by to chat and get the latest news about RRT and the Rifts® board game (April/May Kickstarter from Rogue Heroes Publishing), and take advantage of special offers. If you cannot make it to AdeptiCon, then take advantage of our expanded spring sale.

The spring sale continues and grows! We are leaving the current Rifts® sourcebook and miniature sale going AND adding a Robotech® sale to it. Both sales end next week, March 29, 2017. This same sale on select Robotech® items is also available at AdeptiCon. Read on and enjoy.

SALE! Robotech® RPG Tactics™ (and select Rifts® Sourcebooks) – One week only – March 21-29, 2017

Spring is in the air and so is gaming. Get the Robotech® RPG, Robotech® RPG Tactics™ main game, boxed expansion packs and Robotech® RPG books, as well as select Rifts® Sourcebooks and Rifts® Miniatures, at a 30% discount, now through March 29, 2017. Note: This sale does NOT apply to RRT convention exclusives like Breetai, Grell, Miriya, and other items.

If you love Robotech® but haven’t given Robotech® RPG Tactics™ a try, you might want to think about it. The game truly captures the look, feel and action of the anime, and is a blast to play. Palladium will be offering a selection of small skirmish adventures soon, as well as RRT scenario books containing a range of games you can play right now. Remember, you can engage in small skirmish games with as few as two Valkyries or Destroids and six Zentraedi. And the pieces look great built and painted.

This is a great time to get caught up, try something new, or prepare for the gaming fun that is coming with the many new Rifts® and Robotech® products coming your way in the weeks and months ahead. Robotech® Expeditionary Force Marines ties into the upcoming Robotech® Ghost Fleet™ series and you gotta get the large format Masters Saga™ because it is gorgeous. Likewise, Rifts® Megaverse® in Flames™ and Heroes of Humanity™ are companions to the upcoming HOH CS Arsenal™ and The Disavowed titles, all of which are setting up something big for Rifts®.

The Rifter #76 The Rifter #77

UPDATE: The Rifter® #77 – available now

We are getting positive feedback on the Palladium Fantasy® city by Ian Herbert, my Doc Feral update for Heroes Unlimited™, the Rifts® TW city, the conclusion to the sprawling Splicers® adventure, and ... well, everything in The Rifter® #77. What can I say, it is another great issue packed with immediately usable and fun source material. And don’t forget about The Rifter® #76 with more than half of it being “official” source material.

UPDATE: Rifts® CS Arsenal – coming soon

Holy moley. Charles Walton’s latest concept sketches for Arsenal blew me away. They will do the same for you when you see this book. Fantastic. I am letting Wayne, Chuck and others handle AdeptiCon so I can work on writing it the rest of the week and through the weekend.

UPDATE: Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ – April release

Work also continues on this book.

UPDATE: Rifts® Sovietski™ – Spring or Summer Release

Artwork continues to come in for Sovietski and is looking good.

UPDATE: Garden of the Gods™ – a Palladium Fantasy RPG® Sourcebook – April or May release

I have assigned artwork for Garden of the Gods™ and continue to make notes and do bits of writing for it. Other books in development for Palladium Fantasy®: Lopan™ Adventure Sourcebook, Lopanic Games™ Sourcebook and Land of the South Winds™, among other things.

UPDATE: Dead Reign® Sourcebook: In the Face of Death

Artist Nick Bradshaw continues to work on the interior art, while E.M. Gist works on giving us another dynamic cover.

Rifts Board Game

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

We continue to approve art, cards and designs. Carmen Bellaire’s Rifts® Board Game is looking awesome. He is still working toward an end of April-May Kickstarter.

UPDATE: AdeptiCon – March 23-26 – Chicagoland area

http://www.adepticon.org

As noted in the opening, Wayne, Chuck and the rest of the AdeptiCon crew are primed and ready for AdeptiCon. There will be Robotech® RPG Tactics™ demos, a gaming event, product and convention specials at AdeptiCon. As well as a special promo for the Rifts® Board Game. We are sharing a booth with Carmen Bellaire/Rogue Heroes Publishing, but Carmen 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. Watch for his RBG Kickstarter end of April.) The guys hope to see a lot of you at the convention. Thank you.

Robotech® RPG Tactics™ giant demo game at SIMCON 39 – Rochester, New York, March 31 – April 2, 2017

http://sa.rochester.edu/simcon/blog/

Be part of an epic RRT demo even if it is only for a 30 minute segment. A great way to give Robotech® RPG Tactics™ a try if you live in the area.

The situation is desperate when the Zentraedi warships first appear in Earth orbit. The United Earth Defense Force has only a single space battleship, the Super Dimensional Fortress Macross (SDF-1) and its specialized mecha crew, capable of engaging the invaders. The rebuilt SDF-1 once belonged to the Robotech Masters, and they want it back. Or else! What better way to fight giant space aliens than to use transforming Veritech jet fighters and walking tanks known as Destroids?!

In this game scenario, wave after wave of Zentraedi Battlepods and Power Armor crash against the squadrons of Valkyries, Destroids, and even a Mk.II Monster cannon that valiantly battle to defend the SDF-1 and the 80,000 citizens of Macross City nestled inside.

Players choose a squad of painted miniatures from the Robotech® RPG Tactics™ game and will put their team to work against the enemy swarm. Pick the United Earth Defense Force or the Zentraedi, or give both a try! No experience is necessary.

The game is designed to demonstrate the fun and well thought out Robotech® RPG Tactics™ game. This is your chance to fire a legendary Macross Missile Massacre attack! Note: Players need not be present for the whole 4 hour time slot, and can play for just a 30 minute skirmish, but please register for the game even if you only plan to give it a try for 30 minutes.

SIMCON 39 is held in the Wilson Commons building on the University of Rochester campus – Wilson Commons – 252 Elmwood Avenue, Rochester, NY 14611.
Event Date & Time: 04/01/2017, 8:00 PM – 11:59 PM.
Event Conducted By: Thomas Walters.
Number of Players: 6-10 players per each 30 minute game segment (one overall Robotech® RPG Tactics™ demo game).

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?
