Palladium Books® Weekly Update – Aug. 31, 2017

One game system – every genre – countless worlds – endless adventure

By Kevin Siembieda

The extended Labor Day weekend is coming up here in the US, so I’m going to keep this Update brief. Nightbane® Dark Designs™ arrived at the Palladium warehouse this afternoon. It looks fabulous and we spent time prepping to ship pre-orders tomorrow.

We spent most of this week dealing with a wide range of business matters: long overdue software upgrades to the shipping system, some computer issues, bookkeeping, Gen Con follow-up, PR and planning sessions. Regarding books, Wayne has two new Rifts® Dimension Books available as PDFs, and we have a number of new titles lined up for production, including (in no specific order): The Rifter® #78, The Rifter® #79, Rifts® Living Nowhere™, Rifts® Sovietski™, Rifts® CS Arsenal™, Rifts® Disavowed™, Dead Reign®: In the Face of Death™ and others, including a little surprise.

Nightbane Dark Designs

UPDATE: Nightbane® Dark Designs™ sourcebook – Available now

Nightbane® Dark Designs™ arrived today and looks fantastic. We had a visitor who was blown away by the cover and snapped up a copy for himself. Pre-orders will start shipping Friday. Distributor orders ship next week. This is another fun sourcebook packed with information and tables for the Nightbane and collects most Nightbane Morphuses and magical Talents to date in one nice package.

Please take a look at the free preview on DriveThruRPG.com for more details and a few choice glimpses of what you can expect. Also see the full description of Dark Designs™ elsewhere in this Update and in the online store.

FYI: For those of you who might also want the collectible Dark Designs™ Raw Preview Edition (limited to only 150 copies printed), we have around 20 copies still available. It is interesting to compare the original manuscript with the finished book and see what was changed and added.

Rifts Secrets of the Atlanteans

UPDATE: Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ – still selling strong

Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ remains a hot item. Cool. I’ll say it again, Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ is one of those sourcebooks that is jam-packed with ideas on every page and packed with all kinds of useful and fun information about True Atlanteans, Tattoo Magic, Stone Pyramids, Crystal Magic, Shadow Magic, Atlantean clans, the Sunaj, new Atlantean O.C.C.s, old O.C.C.s revisited, the Shadow Dimension and its monstrous inhabitants, and more. And there are many secrets revealed. Please take a look at the free preview on DriveThruRPG.com for more details and a few choice glimpses of what you can expect.

Please Note: Based on furious Gen Con sales (we sold out by Saturday afternoon) and our own online sales, I suspect Rifts® Atlanteans may blow out of game stores just as fast. If you cannot find the book in the stores because they keep selling out, please remember it is available directly from Palladium Books. 224 pages, $24.95 retail. And if you don’t already own them, we highly recommend you pick up Rifts® World Book One: Atlantis, World Book 21: Splynn Dimensional Market™, and Rifts® Dimension Book 7: Megaverse® Builder (also written by Carl Gleba). All are fun and useful companions to Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™.

Rifts Secrets of the Atlanteans Gold Hardcover

UPDATE: Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ “Gold Edition” Limited Hardcover – Ships mid-September and may sell out fast

There seems to have been a snafu with the book binder as the expected delivery date for the limited Gold Edition Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ hardcover has come and gone. I am waiting to hear what the revised reschedule is, but I suspect it will be the end of next week. We will then need 3-5 days for all of us (and freelancer Ben Rodriguez) to sign and number all the 300 copies, before we can ship. So it should ship sometime between September 11 and 15. The Atlanteans Gold Edition is limited to only 300 signed and numbered copies, and sold on a first come, first served basis. Palladium’s Gold Editions have a history of increasing in value as time goes by, and with Christmas coming, I think this Gold Edition may be a hot commodity in the months ahead. If you are planning on getting one, I’d suggest getting it sooner rather than later. Only available from Palladium Books.

Important Note: Those of you who have already placed pre-orders have been charged and your number already assigned to you, so do NOT reorder. Multiple orders WILL result in you getting billed for and shipped multiple copies – NO REFUND. If you are worried about your pre-order, please call the Palladium office to inquire. Do not place a new order unless you want more than one copy.

Game line Tumblers are going fast – only a few of the logo tumblers remain in stock

The following are available in Palladium’s online store while supplies last. They hold 30 ounces, have sealable lids, do not sweat, and look great. $29.99 each. Sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Still available: Dead Reign®, Heroes Unlimited™ (one of our favorites), and Splicers®. Sorry, the Rifts® and Palladium Fantasy® tumblers are SOLD OUT.

Rifts The Disavowed

Rifts® The Disavowed – A Secrets of the Coalition States™ Sourcebook

“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.
