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

Happy Independence Day to all of my Fellow Americans. Okay, that’s a little bit early, but the Fourth of July is just around the corner, and I imagine many of you will be heading out for a long weekend today or tomorrow. Enjoy the holiday.

Our week here at Palladium has been a full one. Julius has been kept busy in the warehouse shipping out many online orders and a large number of distributor restock orders. Awesome! Keep those orders coming. Wayne has been active getting new PDF books posted to DriveThruRPG as well as editing and other duties, and Chuck has been drawing away. My main focus this week has been getting Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ finished so we can get it off to the printer. I was able to devote most of the week to writing and editing, which meant peeling 100 manuscript pages off the printer for Wayne and Alex’s final edits. Meanwhile I’m working away on the remaining parts of the book. I’m happy to report everyone has been loving what they are reading. Awesome book. When it is at the printer next week, we dive immediately into Nightbane® Dark Designs™. Both sourcebooks should be July releases.

I think I put together a very fun and useful sale for the holiday weekend, with several titles that should come in handy for use with Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™. Read on for details.
