Working away on many fronts. As you can see from this Update, this has been a very, very busy and productive week for all of us. We received and shipped Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™, many of us worked furiously on The Rifter® #74, I have been coordinating and approving artwork for The Rifter® #74, Hell Followed™ (a Dead Reign® sourcebook), Secrets of the Atlanteans™, and Palladium Fantasy’s Garden of the Gods™, as well as art approvals for Savage Rifts®, among other things. And there are a number of other things being worked on for several projects, Robotech® not the least of them. Read on.

UPDATE: Coalition States: Heroes of Humanity^™ Sourcebook – Available now!

Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ arrived at the Palladium warehouse Thursday afternoon. See the updated description for details. Most pre-orders shipped Thursday afternoon and are already on their way to those of you who had a standing order. Distributor orders and the rest of pre-orders shipped today.

I think this adventure sourcebook will blow some people’s minds. Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ is going to change the Rifts® setting in North America in ways you may have never imagined. All in a good way. New combinations of player characters, strange alliances, conflicts and ways to refresh and change existing men-at-arms characters. Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ shakes up the status quo and breathes new life into any Rifts® campaign set in North America. It should inspire all kinds of new adventures and fun. A free preview of Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ is available at DriveThruRPG.com. Keep those orders coming, because every Rifts fan is going to want this book.

My arm still hurts and remains stiff, but I continue to feel positive about my recovery. Had another test today and physical therapy is in my near future. I hope to regain full strength and mobility in the months ahead. It is still weird and surreal to have been hit by a car. I mean, I could have been crippled or killed. Good to be alive and on the mend. Most of the month of May feels like it was just taken away from me.

I was able to catch up with business matters last week and I am turning my attention on getting new product releases out and into your hands. Lots of them. Along with a surprise or two. In addition to the Rifts® products you know about, we are going to be working on releases for Robotech®, Robotech® RPG Tactics, Heroes Unlimited™, Palladium Fantasy®, Splicers® and others. This will include digital products as well as physical products.

UPDATE: Coalition States: Heroes of Humanity^™ Sourcebook – Ships June 15

I can hardly wait till you get this book in your hands. It should inspire all kinds of new, pulse-pounding and fun adventures for months to come. The printer has confirmed Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ ships on June 15, 2016. As soon as it arrives in the warehouse, we ship to everyone who has placed a pre-order. Then we ship to distributors!

Oh, speaking of which, when you see that charge on your credit card from Palladium Books and think, “Hey, I didn’t order anything recently.” It is that Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ pre-order you placed months ago. Palladium does not charge your credit card until we know the book will ship in a week or two.

If you want to get an idea of what to expect in Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™, take a look at the free preview available at DriveThruRPG.com. Keep those orders coming, because you are going to want this book.
