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

By Kevin Siembieda

The holidays are upon us! Winter Solstice is on Saturday. Hanukkah starts on Sunday, Christmas is Wednesday and Kwanzaa begins on Thursday. Whichever you celebrate, may it be full of love and joy.

Please be advised, if you placed orders by Wednesday night, they have all shipped. We have been very diligent in signing books, processing orders, and shipping as fast as we can. Kathy Simmons has led the way with quick, accurate order processing, Julius Rosenstein remains the warehouse guru who at 70 years old is still on top of shipping out orders, I’ve been picking and helping to pull orders every day, and Wayne and Alex are quick to lend a hand as needed. Thank you for your continuing support of Palladium through the holidays. We do the Christmas Surprise Packages as our way of showing our appreciation to all of you, and because we love spreading good cheer throughout the holiday season around the world.

Don’t forget, the Surprise Package makes a nice gift for upcoming birthdays and anniversaries as well as a nice way to treat yourself, try new settings, fill holes in your collection, replace battle worn favorites, get prints or miniatures, etc. If you do NOT need the package in time for the holidays, Media Mail is the least expensive method of shipping. Otherwise, at this point you will need to use an expedited method of shipping to receive your order by Christmas Eve (next Tuesday, December 24). See our Shipping Schedule with exact dates, below. See the Comment section elsewhere to see what other gamers are saying about the Surprise Packages and our games.

Garden of the Gods (Fantasy) is laid out up to page 164, looks amazing, and is going through final proofreading. The finished book will top out at 224 pages and is truly epic. The kind of sourcebook that will carry you away on adventures around the world, and both players and Game Masters will love. As soon as we get a delivery date from our printer, we will let you know. With the holidays, that’s probably around January 10, 2020.

Holiday Shipping Schedule and Guidelines

These are the dates by which you must PLACE your order to get it by Christmas Eve. We will do everything we can to make it happen. Ho, ho, ho. – Kevin and the Palladium crew

• United States Postal Service: Media Mail – WILL NOT arrive in time for Christmas, but if you don’t need it for the holidays, Media Mail is your most economical shipping method.
• UPS Ground – WILL NOT arrive in time for Christmas.
• Priority Mail, United States Postal Service (in USA): WILL NOT arrive in time for Christmas.
• UPS 3-Day Select – WILL NOT arrive in time for Christmas.
• UPS 2nd Day Air – Order TODAY, Thursday, December 19, and your package will arrive in time for Christmas (December 24 delivery), but the shipping cost is very high.
• UPS Next Day Air (to arrive December 24) – Order by Sunday, December 22, and your package will arrive in time for Christmas (December 24 delivery), but the shipping cost is astronomical.
• For our friends in Canada and overseas – WILL NOT arrive in time for Christmas.

Remember: If you do NOT need the package in time for the holidays the Surprise Package is a great way to treat yourself, try new settings, fill holes in your collection, replace worn out titles, get prints, or miniatures, etc. Or use it to get gifts for that special gamer’s January or February birthday, anniversary or graduation. And if you don’t need it right way, Media Mail is the least expensive shipping method. Take full advantage of this unique, annual offer to get autographed books and a huge savings.

What is a Palladium Christmas Surprise Package?

Truly the best deal in gaming! The Palladium 21st Annual Christmas Surprise Package gets you physical books at PDF prices and if you want them signed we will sign each and every one of them! Plus we have some original art by Chuck Walton you may request (but don’t count on it, still provide us with a juicy Wish List).

It enables you to get several RPG titles ($95-$100 often MORE) for ONLY $50 (plus shipping and handling) as gifts for others or for yourself. It is our way of saying thank you to our many fans for being so kind and patient, and for your years of support. You are appreciated more than you may realize.

Christmas Surprise Packages are not just for Christmas. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you’re looking for that special gift for a birthday, anniversary, graduation, 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 (if you want ‘em), and you look like you spent a fortune.

This is also a great way to try that game setting you’ve wondered about – Splicers®, Dead Reign®, Chaos Earth®, Palladium Fantasy®, Nightbane®, Mechanoid Invasion®, Rifts®, After the Bomb®, etc. – or to get something for your favorite Game Master. Or perhaps, to get your player group to consider a new game or setting.

Your “Wish List” is vital – the Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving. To do this, you submit a list of 12-15 Palladium products (or more) FOR EACH Surprise Package you order. This list of 12-15 items for EACH Grab Bag is critical, because you will not know which items we will select to send you. 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 color maps, or T-shirt, or issue of The Rifter®, or something else he thinks you’ll enjoy.

Autographed books. For those of you who want them (which are most people), available members of the Palladium staff, and any freelancers we can lasso at the time, are happy to autograph each and every book in your Surprise Package. This is the only way many fans, especially those in other countries, can EVER get signed books.

Send us your brief comments. There is a special form and format to fill out for Christmas Surprise Packages, including a place where you can offer your brief comments, suggestions, greetings and salutations.

It only costs $50 plus shipping to get $95-$100+ worth of Palladium products! First-timers are always nervous until they see the great value in their first Surprise Package. A typical Grab Bag has $95-$100 worth of product, sometimes more! Yes, sometimes more. Many people order 2-3. Some order 4-6, and some maniacs order even more! It makes sense, because it is a great way to fill holes in your own collection, treat yourself, get autographs, try new games and settings, rebuild your collection, replace worn out books, and get your gaming pals gifts. PLEASE spread the word about this great offer.

To those of you outside the USA, the X-Mas Surprise Package is a way to get books and circumvent the damn high cost of shipping from the United States. Since you are getting $95-$100 (often more) worth of product and only paying $50 plus a small handling charge, and shipping via Priority Mail International (required for packages weighing more than four pounds) to most locations in Europe, Canada and many other countries is around $50-$60 US dollars. HOWEVER, because the cost of the product is so low, that’s the equivalent of paying retail for the products and only $0-$30 for shipping. A very good deal. Plus you get autographs if you want them! X-Mas Surprise Packages are the way to go for those of you outside the USA. Please take advantage of it to get all those products you’ve wished you could get except the shipping was too prohibitive. We feel your pain. Game on!

Shipping WARNING #1: This applies to everyone, please make sure you provide extra time to receive any order in time for Christmas. ALL shippers – UPS, FedEx, and the US Postal Service – are all expecting to ship a record number of packages this holiday season, which could spell delays in shipping, especially as we get closer to Christmas. If you can, please order your Christmas Surprise Packages as soon as possible! Media Mail is the least reliable and can take the longest to arrive. UPS is 2-4 days to most locations in the USA. US Postal Service to Canada and overseas (UPS costs an arm and a leg) must order 8-10 days BEFORE Christmas and we still cannot guarantee you’ll get it in time. Order as early as you can.

Shipping WARNING #2: The theft of packages from porches and mailboxes is at an all time high. Once a package leaves Palladium’s warehouse, its fate is out of our control and we cannot be held responsible for theft or loss. We suggest UPS because it automatically insures all packages for $100 from loss or damage by UPS. HOWEVER, this insurance does not cover theft from your doorstep or mailbox. As far as the delivery company is concerned, they did their job. It was delivered. It is YOUR responsibility to collect the package. That’s just how it works. Like the shipping companies, Palladium does not replace the contents of any package that has been delivered and stolen. Media Mail: As we have been saying for years, Media Mail is the least expensive method of shipping. If you select Media Mail, you assume ALL risk and Palladium will not replace lost, stolen or damaged contents. If it was “delivered” and stolen from your doorstep or mailbox, insurance still does not protect you. Note: It usually takes 3-5 days for Media Mail to be delivered to most locations, 4-12 days (sometimes longer) during the holidays. If you use Media Mail, YOU assume ALL liability for the package. The risk is entirely yours. Sorry. This has been our policy always. That said, most packages shipped by Media Mail and most other means arrive intact without incident.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The X-Mas Surprise Package is a Grab Bag. As such, while we always try to send you items from your Wish List, you may NOT get everything you ask for and you are likely to get one or more items NOT on your list, like The Rifter®, or other item(s) we think you should enjoy. PLEASE give us a long Wish List and fill out other questions (favorite Palladium games, would like to try X, and so on) because it helps us to make your Surprise Package special. If you need or want specific items, do NOT use the Surprise Package; place a regular order at full retail to guarantee you get the books you want. Offer ends December 24, 2019. Also note: There are no Digital Surprise Packages this year.

Updated Digital Catalog is available on Palladium Books’ website (and on DriveThruRPG). To help make selections, you may want to refer to the current PDF Catalog of Palladium Books® products available on PalladiumBooks.com and on DriveThruRPG.com.

Please tell everyone about the Christmas Surprise Packages so we can put smiles on the faces of gamers across the country and around the world.

Special limited Sale – Garden of the Gods^™ RAW PREVIEW – Half price now through December 31 – while supplies last

With Garden of the Gods™ coming out at the end of December, we thought it would be nice to offer the last few dozen of the GotG™ “Raw Preview” Edition at half price ($10.50 instead of $20.99 retail) while supplies last. A “Raw Preview” is an advance look at the unfinished, unedited, manuscript BEFORE final rewrites, additions, art, and editing. Limited to 150 copies (sometimes 200 copies). It is fun to be able to compare the original manuscript as presented in the Raw Preview with the finished publication. For those of you who want to write and publish your own games, the Raw Preview gives you a rare glimpse into the creative process at Palladium. In the case of Garden of the Gods™, it has expanded to epic proportions, and there is some excellent material in the original Raw Edition manuscript that seems unlikely to make it into the finished sourcebook (though it may appear in a future Fantasy sourcebook).

And consider – Land of the Damned^™ Three: The Bleakness^™ Raw Preview Limited Edition – Available now

Get ‘em while you can because it is limited to only 200 copies and selling fast! The LotD-3: The Bleakness™ Raw Preview is an advance copy of the unedited, unillustrated, working manuscript for this upcoming, new Fantasy World Book. You get to see the unfinished book months before the final title is released to put you in the know ahead of most people, and to start playing now. A rare look at the raw manuscript before final edit, rewrites, and publication that give you a glimpse of Palladium’s work and development process. Limited to a total of 200 copies.

This epic sourcebook presents more of the forbidden Land of the Damned in all its brutal glory. Includes information about the ancient and forgotten eldritch races, the Minotaur legions, dark magic, the Citadel, the Bleakness, countless adventure hooks and ideas, and much, much more. The long awaited final book in the Land of the Damned series will have connections to the Garden of the Gods™ and the upcoming Lopan Fantasy World Book.

Note: The finished book is anticipated to ship next summer, but you can see what it’s all about right now and even start playing with this special Preview Edition!

• Limited collector’s edition – only 200 collector copies.

• The Rifter® #9½ is the all humor issue and has Giga-Damage and the Ludicrous Mage.

BACK IN STOCK: Ninjas & Superspies^™ RPG, Revised – available now

The Ninjas & Superspies™ RPG is worth it for the 40 different martial art forms and 48 mystic martial arts powers alone, but there is so much more.

Spies, Cyber Agents, Gadgeteers, secret organizations, secret identities, gimmick weapons and clothing, cyber-disguises, implants, and more.

UPDATE: Garden of the Gods^™ (Fantasy) – in final production

Expanded to 224 pages! Layout is done up to page 164, and final proofreading is underway, while I put the finishing touches on the last couple dozen pages of text. I love this book. Everyone who has seen it and skimmed it, loves it, and so will you.

Truly epic. 50+ Forgotten Gods, 140+ Blessings, 100+ magic artifacts, 50+ Curses, become a Champion of the Gods, enjoy the overview of the Garden of the Gods, read about visions, miracles, quests from the gods, Knightly protectors, Faerie Folk, the Black Pit, five Greatest Rune Weapons of the Old Ones, mystery, secrets, and more! If this book doesn’t get players and Game Masters excited, nothing will. Garden of the Gods™ also helps to set up several other Palladium Fantasy titles in the works or done and waiting for final edit and tweaking.

UPDATE: Dead Reign^®: In the Face of Death^™

This is the book I dive into next to finish and get into your hands. Cannot wait. Secrets of surviving in the big cities, death cults, weirdness, and hope. An end of January 2020 release.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Titan Robotics^™ – Winter release

Every time I look at the artwork for this book I just think, wow. One of many titles that will excite and tantalize your imaginations. A ton of toys for players and ideas for Game Masters. Robots and power armor galore, but also the inner workings of Titan Robotics and Archie Three’s schemes. I think 80% of the artwork is done. I continue to make notes and we are all pumped up about this power armor, robot, and weapon filled sourcebook.

Rifts® Titan Robotics™ is another high-tech toy box presenting new types of armor, sleek power armor, giant robots, vehicles, and weapons sold by Titan Robotics. Ah, but Titan Robotics is much more than just another weapons manufacturer, it is the secret operation of ARCHIE-3 and all part of his plan to monitor and manipulate the outside world. Learn about Archie’s androids that run Titan Robotics, his current schemes and plans for the future. Probably a 160 page World Book around $22.99 retail, but may expand into 192 pages.

• New Giant Robots.
• New Power Armor, equipment and accessories.
• 30+ power armors and robots, plus other equipment.
• New weapons, gear and vehicles.
• Titan Robotics Corporation and structure.
• Archie’s secret kingdom and plans for the future.
• New O.C.C.s and key Non-Player Characters (NPCs).
• Android executives, security and much more.
• Wellington Industries, Campaign prompts and more.
• Art by Zeleznik, Walton, Cummings, Atkins, and others.
• Written by Matthew Clements and Kevin Siembieda. Cover by Zeleznik.
• 160-192 pages (tentative) – $22.99 retail (or $26.99) – Cat. No. 899. Winter (tentative).

UPDATE: Rifts^® Chaos Earth^® – Psychic Scream^™ – Winter release

You will love Psychic Scream™, though I think I’m going to slot in Rifts® Titan Robotics™ ahead of it since so much more of that book is finished, art and all. If the description for Psychic Scream™ doesn’t get your heart pumping, I don’t know what will! Making notes and adding ideas that will blow your minds.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Antarctica^™ – Winter release

I am bursting with ideas and had to stop and make all kinds of notes. I think Rifts® Antarctica™ is going to surprise and delight a lot of people. It is also a great example of the fun you can have with the Raw Editions. The sold out Rifts® Antarctica Raw Edition is a far cry from what the finished book is going to be. Those of you who bought the Raw Edition get a glimpse at Palladium’s creative process. When you compare the two, you’ll see what we kept, what we eliminated, what we added, and how we embellished the material to reach the creative finale of the finished book coming this fall or winter. Fun and educational for those of you who aspire to be writers yourself or just like to have the inside track at Palladium. And true of all Raw Editions vs the finished book. Probably a fall or winter release.

Rifts® Antarctica is a truly compelling and exotic land beyond what anyone expects. A frozen continent transformed by the power of magic and alien wildlife. Long isolated from the rest of the world, Rifts, D-Shifting events and the threat of war have now brought the distant South Pole within reach. Probably a 160 page World Book around $22.99 retail.

• New alien monsters and D-Bees.
• Strange new weapons and vehicles. Some left over from the Golden Age of Humanity, others completely alien.
• The Splugorth’s secret outpost. More than it would seem.
• A Splugorth zoo and place of secret Bio-Wizard experiments.
• Snow and Ice Golems created specifically for the cold environment.
• An ancient city of stone that predates human history and which even the Splugorth fear, let alone their minions! Ask yourself, what could possibly scare the Splugorth? Find out.
• Danger from Elements, Ice Witches, Icecraft, and other horrors.
• Vostok City, a city of magic carved from the ice itself.
• Cold-weather skills, technology and survival techniques.
• Ancient danger and dark secrets.
• Written by Matthew Clements, Carmen Bellaire, and Kevin Siembieda.
• 160 pages (tentative) – $22.99 retail – Cat. No. 898. Winter or spring release.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Bestiary^™, Volume Two – Winter release

Nothing new on this front, but we all want it to be released as quickly as possible. Looking at a winter release.

UPDATE: The Disavowed^™, Living Nowhere^™, Beyond the Supernatural^™ sourcebooks, and other titles

These titles and several others are NOT forgotten and are in various stages of active production or waiting for production. As always, just because a book is not specifically listed in every Weekly Update, it does not mean it is discontinued or in limbo, it means there are more immediate things to talk about or there’s no substantive news to report. We are anxious to put as many of the books you’ve been waiting for into your hands as possible over the next 18 months. That includes Rifts® Disavowed™, Chaos Earth® First Responders™, Rifts® Antarctica, Rifts® CS Arsenal™, Rifts® Living Nowhere™, Beyond the Supernatural™ sourcebooks, more Fantasy sourcebooks and other titles. So if a book you are waiting for is not mentioned in an Update, it means there is nothing new to report, but it should still be in the pipeline and news for it will be coming in the weeks or months ahead. Right now, we are focused on releases for the next six months, which by our count is 6-7 titles. And many of them are in various stages of production or development.

UPDATE: DriveThruRPG – Christmas Sale – ALL Palladium Fantasy^®, Heroes Unlimited^™, and Nightbane^® titles are on sale Friday morning thru December 30

No need to worry about delivery in time for Christmas. Snag yourself some PDF books now through the holiday weekend on DriveThruRPG.com. Enjoy.

What is a Palladium Christmas Surprise Package?

Truly the best deal in gaming! The Palladium 21st Annual Christmas Surprise Package gets you physical books at PDF prices and if you want them signed we will sign each and every one of them! Plus we have some original art by Chuck Walton you may request (but don’t count on it, still provide us with a juicy Wish List).

It enables you to get several RPG titles ($95-$100 often MORE) for ONLY $50 (plus shipping and handling) as gifts for others or for yourself. It is our way of saying thank you to our many fans for being so kind and patient, and for your years of support. You are appreciated more than you may realize.

Christmas Surprise Packages are not just for Christmas. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you’re looking for that special gift for a birthday, anniversary, graduation, 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 (if you want ‘em), and you look like you spent a fortune.

This is also a great way to try that game setting you’ve wondered about – Splicers®, Dead Reign®, Chaos Earth®, Palladium Fantasy®, Nightbane®, Mechanoid Invasion®, Rifts®, After the Bomb®, etc. – or to get something for your favorite Game Master. Or perhaps, to get your player group to consider a new game or setting.

Your “Wish List” is vital – the Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving. To do this, you submit a list of 12-15 Palladium products (or more) FOR EACH Surprise Package you order. This list of 12-15 items for EACH Grab Bag is critical, because you will not know which items we will select to send you. 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 color maps, or T-shirt, or issue of The Rifter®, or something else he thinks you’ll enjoy.

Autographed books. For those of you who want them (which are most people), available members of the Palladium staff, and any freelancers we can lasso at the time, are happy to autograph each and every book in your Surprise Package. This is the only way many fans, especially those in other countries, can EVER get signed books.

Send us your brief comments. There is a special form and format to fill out for Christmas Surprise Packages, including a place where you can offer your brief comments, suggestions, greetings and salutations.

It only costs $50 plus shipping to get $95-$100+ worth of Palladium products! First-timers are always nervous until they see the great value in their first Surprise Package. A typical Grab Bag has $95-$100 worth of product, sometimes more! Yes, sometimes more. Many people order 2-3. Some order 4-6, and some maniacs order even more! It makes sense, because it is a great way to fill holes in your own collection, treat yourself, get autographs, try new games and settings, rebuild your collection, replace worn out books, and get your gaming pals gifts. PLEASE spread the word about this great offer.

To those of you outside the USA, the X-Mas Surprise Package is a way to get books and circumvent the damn high cost of shipping from the United States. Since you are getting $95-$100 (often more) worth of product and only paying $50 plus a small handling charge, and shipping via Priority Mail International (required for packages weighing more than four pounds) to most locations in Europe, Canada and many other countries is around $50-$60 US dollars. HOWEVER, because the cost of the product is so low, that’s the equivalent of paying retail for the products and only $0-$30 for shipping. A very good deal. Plus you get autographs if you want them! X-Mas Surprise Packages are the way to go for those of you outside the USA. Please take advantage of it to get all those products you’ve wished you could get except the shipping was too prohibitive. We feel your pain. Game on!

Shipping WARNING #1: This applies to everyone, please make sure you provide extra time to receive any order in time for Christmas. ALL shippers – UPS, FedEx, and the US Postal Service – are all expecting to ship a record number of packages this holiday season, which could spell delays in shipping, especially as we get closer to Christmas. If you can, please order your Christmas Surprise Packages as soon as possible! Media Mail is the least reliable and can take the longest to arrive. UPS is 2-4 days to most locations in the USA. US Postal Service to Canada and overseas (UPS costs an arm and a leg) must order 8-10 days BEFORE Christmas and we still cannot guarantee you’ll get it in time. Order as early as you can.

Shipping WARNING #2: The theft of packages from porches and mailboxes is at an all time high. Once a package leaves Palladium’s warehouse, its fate is out of our control and we cannot be held responsible for theft or loss. We suggest UPS because it automatically insures all packages for $100 from loss or damage by UPS. HOWEVER, this insurance does not cover theft from your doorstep or mailbox. As far as the delivery company is concerned, they did their job. It was delivered. It is YOUR responsibility to collect the package. That’s just how it works. Like the shipping companies, Palladium does not replace the contents of any package that has been delivered and stolen. Media Mail: As we have been saying for years, Media Mail is the least expensive method of shipping. If you select Media Mail, you assume ALL risk and Palladium will not replace lost, stolen or damaged contents. If it was “delivered” and stolen from your doorstep or mailbox, insurance still does not protect you. Note: It usually takes 3-5 days for Media Mail to be delivered to most locations, 4-12 days (sometimes longer) during the holidays. If you use Media Mail, YOU assume ALL liability for the package. The risk is entirely yours. Sorry. This has been our policy always. That said, most packages shipped by Media Mail and most other means arrive intact without incident.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The X-Mas Surprise Package is a Grab Bag. As such, while we always try to send you items from your Wish List, you may NOT get everything you ask for and you are likely to get one or more items NOT on your list, like The Rifter®, or other item(s) we think you should enjoy. PLEASE give us a long Wish List and fill out other questions (favorite Palladium games, would like to try X, and so on) because it helps us to make your Surprise Package special. If you need or want specific items, do NOT use the Surprise Package; place a regular order at full retail to guarantee you get the books you want. Offer ends December 24, 2019. Also note: There are no Digital Surprise Packages this year.

Updated Digital Catalog is available on Palladium Books’ website (and on DriveThruRPG). To help make selections, you may want to refer to the current PDF Catalog of Palladium Books® products available on PalladiumBooks.com and on DriveThruRPG.com.

Please tell everyone about the Christmas Surprise Packages so we can put smiles on the faces of gamers across the country and around the world.

Special limited Sale – Garden of the Gods^™ RAW PREVIEW – Half price now through December 31 – while supplies last

With Garden of the Gods™ coming out at the end of December, we thought it would be nice to offer the last few dozen of the GoG™ “Raw Preview” Edition at half price ($10.50 instead of $20.99 retail) while supplies last. A “Raw Preview” is an advance look at the unfinished, unedited, manuscript BEFORE final rewrites, additions, art, and editing. Limited to 150 copies (sometimes 200 copies). It is fun to be able to compare the original manuscript as presented in the Raw Preview with the finished publication. For those of you who want to write and publish your own games, the Raw Preview gives you a rare glimpse into the creative process at Palladium. In the case of Garden of the Gods™, it has expanded to epic proportions, and there is some excellent material in the original Raw Edition manuscript that seems unlikely to make it into the finished sourcebook (though it may appear in a future Fantasy sourcebook).

Get ‘em while you can because it is limited to only 200 copies and selling fast!

A rare look at the raw manuscript before final edit, rewrites, and publication that give you a glimpse of Palladium’s work and development process. Limited to a total of 200 copies.

This epic sourcebook presents more of the forbidden Land of the Damned in all its brutal glory. Includes information about the ancient and forgotten eldritch races, the Minotaur legions, dark magic, the Citadel, the Bleakness, countless adventure hooks and ideas, and much, much more. The long awaited final book in the Land of the Damned series will have connections to the Garden of the Gods™ and the upcoming Lopan Fantasy World Book.

Can you imagine a book of Cthulhu Christmas Carols?

You won’t have to, you can get it from Red Duke Games’ new Kickstarter for Unspeakable Carols - Lovecraftian Holiday Hymns and Cthulian Canticles. Like the wildly popular Necronomnomnom Cookbook, it will be full of gruesome (and funny) Cthulhu and Lovecraft inspired artwork worthy of a coffee table art book. An absolute must for any serious collector of the Cthulhu mythos.

It comes from the team that brought you the runaway hit, The Necronomnomnom - A Cookbook of Eldritch Horror. The project is now live on Kickstarter through Christmas. See your beloved holiday carols get the multi-tentacled Eldritch hug as only Red Duke Games can bring you. The book will receive the same lavish attention as their previous tome, right down to the scarce (and scary) custom latex covers on the Deluxe Editions. Darkly humorous, arcanely inspired, and terrifyingly realized under the mad brush of artist Kurt Komoda, the stygian quill of Mike Slater, and demonic design of Tom Roache. This project promises both monstrous laughter and yuletide madness! They dare you, allow your eyes to rest upon the lyrics of their depraved canticles.

Head over to Kickstarter now and help make this thing come to life:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1366211550/unspeakable-carols-a-tome-of-lovecraftian-holiday-hymns

 

Psst. What you may not know is the Unspeakable Carols is the second book in a planned series of Lovecraft/Cthulhu inspired tomes. Everyone at Palladium Books was thrilled with our copies of the Necronomnomnom Cookbook and we cannot wait for this one and the others to follow. For details on current and planned products, please visit http://www.RedDukeGames.com and follow TheNecronomnomnom on Instagram and Facebook

 

UPDATE: Garden of the Gods^™ (Fantasy) – in final production

Expanded to 192 or 224 pages! Truly epic. 50+ Forgotten Gods, 140+ Blessings, 100+ magic artifacts, 50+ Curses, become a Champion of the Gods, enjoy the overview of the Garden of the Gods, read about visions, miracles, quests from the gods, Knightly protectors, Faerie Folk, the Black Pit, five Greatest Rune Weapons of the Old Ones, mystery, secrets, and more! If this book doesn’t get players and Game Masters excited, nothing will. Garden of the Gods™ also helps to set up several other Palladium Fantasy titles in the works or done and waiting for final edit and tweaking.

 

UPDATE: Dead Reign^®: In the Face of Death^™

This is the book I dive into next to finish and get into your hands. Cannot wait. Secrets of surviving in the big cities, death cults, weirdness, and hope. An end of January 2020 release.

 

UPDATE: Rifts^® Titan Robotics^™ – Winter release

Every time I look at the artwork for this book I just think, wow. One of many titles that will excite and tantalize your imaginations. A ton of toys for players and ideas for Game Masters. Robots and power armor galore, but also the inner workings of Titan Robotics and Archie Three’s schemes. I think 80% of the artwork is done. I continue to make notes and we are all pumped up about this power armor, robot, and weapon filled sourcebook.

Rifts® Titan Robotics™ is another high-tech toy box presenting new types of armor, sleek power armor, giant robots, vehicles, and weapons sold by Titan Robotics. Ah, but Titan Robotics is much more than just another weapons manufacturer, it is the secret operation of ARCHIE-3 and all part of his plan to monitor and manipulate the outside world. Learn about Archie’s androids that run Titan Robotics, his current schemes and plans for the future. Probably a 160 page World Book around $22.99 retail, but may expand into 192 pages.

• New Giant Robots.
• New Power Armor, equipment and accessories.
• 30+ power armors and robots, plus other equipment.
• New weapons, gear and vehicles.
• Titan Robotics Corporation and structure.
• Archie’s secret kingdom and plans for the future.
• New O.C.C.s and key Non-Player Characters (NPCs).
• Android executives, security and much more.
• Wellington Industries, Campaign prompts and more.
• Art by Zeleznik, Walton, Cummings, Atkins, and others.
• Written by Matthew Clements and Kevin Siembieda. Cover by Zeleznik.
• 160-192 pages (tentative) – $22.99 retail (or $26.99) – Cat. No. 899. Winter (tentative).

 

UPDATE: Rifts^® Chaos Earth^® – Psychic Scream^™ – Winter release

You will love Psychic Scream™, though I think I’m going to slot in Rifts® Titan Robotics™ ahead of it since so much more of that book is finished, art and all. If the description for Psychic Scream™ doesn’t get your heart pumping, I don’t know what will! Making notes and adding ideas that will blow your minds.

 

UPDATE: Rifts^® Antarctica^™ – Winter release

I am bursting with ideas and had to stop and make all kinds of notes. I think Rifts® Antarctica™ is going to surprise and delight a lot of people. It is also a great example of the fun you can have with the Raw Editions. The sold out Rifts® Antarctica Raw Edition is a far cry from what the finished book is going to be. Those of you who bought the Raw Edition get a glimpse at Palladium’s creative process. When you compare the two, you’ll see what we kept, what we eliminated, what we added, and how we embellished the material to reach the creative finale of the finished book coming this fall or winter. Fun and educational for those of you who aspire to be writers yourself or just like to have the inside track at Palladium. And true of all Raw Editions vs the finished book. Probably a fall or winter release.

Rifts® Antarctica is a truly compelling and exotic land beyond what anyone expects. A frozen continent transformed by the power of magic and alien wildlife. Long isolated from the rest of the world, Rifts, D-Shifting events and the threat of war have now brought the distant South Pole within reach. Probably a 160 page World Book around $22.99 retail.

• New alien monsters and D-Bees.
• Strange new weapons and vehicles. Some left over from the Golden Age of Humanity, others completely alien.
• The Splugorth’s secret outpost. More than it would seem.
• A Splugorth zoo and place of secret Bio-Wizard experiments.
• Snow and Ice Golems created specifically for the cold environment.
• An ancient city of stone that predates human history and which even the Splugorth fear, let alone their minions! Ask yourself, what could possibly scare the Splugorth? Find out.
• Danger from Elements, Ice Witches, Icecraft, and other horrors.
• Vostok City, a city of magic carved from the ice itself.
• Cold-weather skills, technology and survival techniques.
• Ancient danger and dark secrets.
• Written by Matthew Clements, Carmen Bellaire, and Kevin Siembieda.
• 160 pages (tentative) – $22.99 retail – Cat. No. 898. Winter or spring release.

 

UPDATE: Rifts^® Bestiary^™, Volume Two – Winter release

Nothing new on this front, but we all want it to be released as quickly as possible. Looking at a winter release.

 

UPDATE: The Disavowed^™, Living Nowhere^™, Beyond the Supernatural^™ sourcebooks, and other titles

These titles and several others are NOT forgotten and are in various stages of active production or waiting for production. As always, just because a book is not specifically listed in every Weekly Update, it does not mean it is discontinued or in limbo, it means there are more immediate things to talk about or there’s no substantive news to report. We are anxious to put as many of the books you’ve been waiting for into your hands as possible over the next 18 months. That includes Rifts® Disavowed™, Chaos Earth® First Responders™, Rifts® Antarctica, Rifts® CS Arsenal™, Rifts® Living Nowhere™, Beyond the Supernatural™ sourcebooks, more Fantasy sourcebooks and other titles. So if a book you are waiting for is not mentioned in an Update, it means there is nothing new to report, but it should still be in the pipeline and news for it will be coming in the weeks or months ahead. Right now, we are focused on releases for the next six months, which by our count is 6-7 titles. And many of them are in various stages of production or development.
