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

Hey everyone, I’m going to make this short and to the point because we are so busy with receiving new books, shipping said books, and getting everything ready for Gen Con that I feel like I’m going to collapse if my head doesn’t explode first.

It will ship to distributors when we get back from Gen Con, so it should hit store shelves mid- or late August. If you have been waiting to order your own copy when the book is ready to ship, well, the book is shipping now! Oh, and it is gorgeous. Hey, with Palladium’s Rifts® sale going on right now this is a great time to order Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume One AND some of the World Books and sourcebooks like Dinosaur Swamp™, Adventures in Dinosaur Swamp™, Lone Star™, New West™, Spirit West™, Machinations of Doom™, Vampire Kingdoms, Vampires Sourcebook, Psyscape™, Federation of Magic™, the three Conversion Books™ (which would give you a whole bunch of additional monsters), the four Mercenary sourcebooks, Rifts® Black Market™, and a lot of other titles.

The hardcover Gold Edition ships in August. Megaverse® Insiders getting hardcovers ship in August. See the new description elsewhere in this update.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Bestiary^™, Volume One – Gold Collector’s Hardcover – At the Printer – Ships August 9 or 12

This attractive, limited edition, collector’s hardcover has a leatherette cover imprinted in gold foil, and is signed and numbered by Palladium staff and maybe a few contributing artists and writers. It is very limited at only 400 copies and destined to be a collector’s item. Historically, Palladium’s gold editions have doubled, tripled or increased in value many times over as a cherished collectible. Cat. No. 896HC. Available only from Palladium Books. Sold on a first come, first served basis. Please note the slight increase in price at $55 due to the increased size of 256 pages.

UPDATE: Garden of the Gods^™ – Ships August

Garden of the Gods™ – ships in August, but it will not be at Gen Con – though we will have some uncut covers. This sourcebook is truly epic, but there is so much to it (nearly a hundred Blessings and Magic Artifacts, plus Miracles, Curses, the Garden of the Gods, the Ghost Knights, the Fossar-Knights, stuff about the Old Ones, I just could not get it finished before Gen Con and do it right. Still working away on wrapping it up before we leave, and it is still an end of August release. 160 pages – $22.99 retail – Cat. No. 475. Please note the new price and size.

UPDATE: Dead Reign^®: In the Face of Death^™ – August or September release

As soon as I am finished with Garden of the Gods, I am back to work on In the Face of Death™. An end of August release.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Chaos Earth^® – Psychic Scream^™ – September or October release

A ton of interior artwork has been finished with additional material being turned out. If the new description for Psychic Scream™ doesn’t get your heart pumping, I don’t know what will! Rescheduled for a September or October release. Shooting for September.

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

Man, oh man, this book is going to be epic. More finished artwork and concept sketches come in every few day and are looking fabulous. I continue to make notes and we are all pumped up about this power armor, robot, and weapons filled sourcebook.

UPDATE: The Rifter^® #84 – August release

Wayne has made his selections and I will be assigning artwork soon. Another great issue full of fun and ideas.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Antarctica^™ – Fall or Winter Release

Nothing new to report. 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.

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 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.

Description: March 24, 1984. A group of juvenile delinquents and their vice principal arrive for Saturday detention at Shermer High School. You play "villains" from a variety of 1980s movies: Johnny Lawrence, John Bender, Biff Tannen, Jeanie Beuller, and others. These bad boys and bad girls and their vice principal must interrupt their Saturday detention to now face the newly arrived zombie apocalypse. Will these people, who do not play well with others, work together to defeat their common enemy? If so, who will lead? Or will it be every man for himself? Some of these characters have little or no morals. Maybe robbing others is your key to survival. Maybe you want to take the zombies on to see how tough they are. Is this crisis what causes you to turn over a new leaf? How will this group deal with the end of civilization? Only you can answer.
