Put it on your calendar and spread the word, the Rifts® Board Game Kickstarter goes live at 3:00 PM, Monday, May 8th! We cannot believe it is here at last! On top of that, Palladium is hosting one of its last Spring Sales, the Realms of Chaos sale.

As you might expect, a lot of this week was spent helping Carmen get ready for his Kickstarter’s launch. We met and consulted with him on Wednesday, helped in any way we could and approved text, art, video, and design elements for the Rifts® Board Game Kickstarter page as fast as we could. Talk about raw excitement. You will be excited too, once you see the Kickstarter (Monday). Please start spreading the word.

Every licensing deal we make is a thrill. As the licensor, Palladium tries to support and promote every project, whether it is Rifts® for Savage Worlds®, the Rifts® movie, or whatever it may be. The Rifts® Board Game is closer to our heart than any before, because the game designer and publisher, Carmen Bellaire, is a dear friend and there is a lot more riding on this Kickstarter than just the release of a new great game.
