Okay, this is gonna a be a very short Update. We have worked very late every night this week to finish the Hell Followed™ sourcebook for Dead Reign®. It is done. Wayne is working on the finishing touches of the layout, Julius is going over the last few pages of proofreading and I may tweak the last section a bit more. It goes to the printer this weekend.

Other work is moving along too, most notably art for other projects. Next on my plate is Rifts® CS Arsenal, The Disavowed and Robotech®. For Wayne it is The Rifter® #76. We have a lot to do! Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas is coming up fast! What is it, five weeks away, now? Wow. Place those Christmas Surprise Package orders and game on!

UPDATE: Hell Followed^™ – 160 page sourcebook for Dead Reign^® is epic

Hell Followed™ is nothing short of fantastic. See the new description for it elsewhere in this Update or in the online store.

Hell Followed™ contains source material, heroes, and ideas that can be easily translated to Heroes Unlimited™, After the Bomb®, Nightbane® (especially an alternate dimension or the Nightlands), Rifts® and maybe even Palladium Fantasy RPG®. I had a blast writing it and I think everyone involved did some of their best work. Nice job Taylor and Nick. I’ll try to have Wayne throw together a sneak preview to post next week.

You will want to order this book, or ask for it in the Christmas Surprise Package! It is a blast to read, let alone play. And if you haven’t tried Dead Reign® yet, consider asking for it and some sourcebooks in a Christmas Surprise Package. Unfortunately, Hell Followed™ probably will not be available for Grab Bags before December 16th. Sorry. I will keep you posted.

Guhhh. A monster head cold hit me yesterday. You know, the kind where you feel like your head is trapped inside a tight box filled with cotton. Can’t breathe, ears itch, nose won’t stop running, slight fever, scratchy throat, and it is difficult trying to concentrate, so I am going to keep this Update short and to the point. Forgive me if there are a few clumsy sentences.

The Rifter® #75 is a great issue waiting for your orders. Wayne has been working on several things, including The Rifter® #76. He’s recovering from a nasty cold of his own, probably where I got it from.

Palladium’s famous Christmas Surprise Packages are truly awesome gifts for your gaming friends or for yourself. I’ve been packing most of them with $92-$100 worth of gaming fun – sometimes more – and we sign them all if you want signatures. Do not miss out!

The Hell Followed™ sourcebook for Dead Reign® is, a) fabulous, and b) in the layout stage. I’ve been approving artwork for the Rifts® boardgame coming from Rogue Heroes LLC and I am about to dive into Rifts® CS Arsenal™. And I just corrected seven typos trying to write these first few paragraphs. Whaahhh. I guess my fingers are not working very well today either. It has been suggested I go home, but we have books to finish. Besides, it’s just a cold, right?
