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

It has been another busy week. Most of our attention has been focused on finishing Nightbane® Dark Designs™ and we are almost done. Going to Gen Con Indy? We will have advance copies of Dark Designs™ that you can get signed by the author and available Palladium staff, along with Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ hot off the press. FYI: We are happy to chat and sign any books you bring with you or purchase. Gen Con should be a lot of fun and we are getting anxious now that it is less than two weeks before we drive down and set up.

I don’t know how the week has gone by so quickly. It seems like Monday was just yesterday. In addition to a lot of editing and writing, there have been a wide number of business discussions on several fronts, as we work to put a number of things into place. One of which is the Palladium Fantasy® Bundle of Holding that launched on Tuesday. FYI: The Rifts® Bundle of Holding ends on Monday next week, so this is your last weekend to get the Rifts® Essentials bundle, described below. Read on for more information and news.

Its twisted world of science fiction, fantasy and horror offers diverse player characters and gaming opportunities you seldom see in the same setting. WARNING: Read a few of these books and you may be hooked playing adventures that pit you against an endless array of aliens, supernatural creatures, magic and super-technology that spans countless worlds and dimensions.

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

I approved the printer proof for Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ earlier this week. The book looks great and the printer confirmed that it should arrive at the Palladium warehouse in two weeks, August 9. I can hardly wait till it is in your hands. Otherwise, I have been working on Nightbane® Dark Designs™ and a number of business matters, including catching up on correspondences, and getting ready for Gen Con® Indy. I talk about this in more detail in my Murmur from the Megaverse posted this morning. Oh, and Ninjas & Superspies and Mystic China are now available as PDF titles.

Speaking of PDF books, folks seem pretty excited about Palladium’s Bundle of Holding Rifts® PDF offer. It is available for a limited time, and that time is ticking down quickly, so if you are interested, you only have about ten days to order one. Read on for more information and news.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Secrets of the Atlanteans^™ – Ships August 9, 2017

I approved the digital proofs of Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ on Tuesday and the printer confirmed we should receive the book on August 9th. It is always fun flipping through the mockup of the printed book, and this is a great one. There are ideas on every page and the book is packed with 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, the Shadow Dimension and its monstrous inhabitants, and more. Take a look at the free preview on DriveThruRPG.com for more details and a few choice glimpses of what you can expect. 224 pages, $24.95 retail. All pre-orders will be shipped out the same day it arrives in our warehouse. Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ will be available at Gen Con.

UPDATE: Nightbane^® Dark Designs^™ sourcebook – Ships August 25, 2017

We are in the final editing and tweaking stage of Nightbane® Dark Designs™. We anticipate laying it out and sending it to the printer next week. Advance copies will be available at Gen Con® where the author, Mark Oberle, will be available to sign books. Dark Designs™ is all about the Nightbane and the creation of their Morphus, appearance, and transformation into it, as well as new Minor and Major Talents, the Ancient Nightbane (statted at last) and more. See the full description elsewhere in this Update.
