Another crazy week, so we’re going to keep this Update short, as we’ll be spending the weekend at Detroit Fanfare in Dearborn, Michigan, Friday through Sunday, running games, doing Robotech® game demos, selling books and, I hope, signing autographs and chatting with a lot of gamers. The convention sounds big and fun. We’ll have more news and scheduling updates next week.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Northern Gun^™ One – Shipping now!

Rifts® Northern Gun™ One has shipped from the Palladium warehouse. NG-1 arrived at the Palladium warehouse Wednesday afternoon and we spent the rest of the day prepping books for shipping. ALL pre-orders have shipped as of today, Thursday, October 24, and a few dozen shipped on Wednesday. The book looks fabulous.

Copies of Rifts® Northern Gun™ One will be available at Detroit Fanfare in Dearborn, Michigan, October 25-27. The following creators: Matthew Clements, Chuck Walton, Wayne Smith, Alex Marciniszyn, Julius Rosenstein, Mark Dudley, Carmen Bellaire (Saturday only), Ben Rodriguez and I (Kevin Siembieda), will all be available to sign the book. Note: We’ll also have the Max and Miriya convention special game pieces for Robotech® RPG Tactics™ available for sale, and Julius, me and others will be running gaming events at Detroit Fanfare over the weekend. I also have a panel talk on Saturday at noon about Hollywood and Licensing. Join the fun.

The NG-1 Hardcover editions (one with a color cover and one with a foil cover) should be done and ready to ship 2-4 weeks later, so early to mid-November. That’s when all the Megaverse Insider packages will ship.
