Palladium Books^® – Sales, News & Updates – November 27, 2023

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

By Kevin Siembieda

2 Cyber-Monday Sales and One TMNT Kickstarter ENDING soon and other limited time offers

All the sales information and links are below, but we want to emphasize that you can be part of Palladium’s historic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness Kickstarter for as little as $1 and decide on the pledge level and add-ons in December or January in the Backerkit Pledge Manager phase.

Final Hours of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness Kickstarter – join for $1 now or miss out

- Are you waiting to see all the finished covers?

- Are you wanting to see all the final miniature sculpts?

- Are you waiting to see more interior color pages or Tribute Pages?

- Are you just too busy to decide on a pledge level and add-ons now?

We understand. Here is the easy solution! Pledge $1 now, before the Kickstarter ends, November 28, and decide later. This is the only way you can get the miniatures, dice sets, and other Kickstarter Exclusives.

That one dollar pledge makes you an “Official Backer” eligible to upgrade your pledge level and get Kickstarter Exclusives, over the next two months during the Pledge Management period via Backerkit. Meanwhile, Palladium will continue post updates, info, art, and miniature images in Kickstarter Updates AFTER the Kickstarter ends. But you must pledge that $1 (or any level) now to be eligible to upgrade your pledge and get Kickstarter Exclusive add-ons later. Please pledge that one dollar now, so you don’t regret it later.

We do not want anyone to feel as if they are being rushed or forced to make a choice without all the information and images they may need. That one dollar pledge buys you peace of mind and time to evaluate all info and images yet to come over the weeks ahead to make an informed decision.

Experience the original TMNT role-playing game and five sourcebooks in magnificent color for the very first time. Much of the artwork was created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird specifically for the game and includes 30+ pages of comics, everything colored by top color artists Michael Majestic and Luis Antonio Delgado (The Last Ronin) and Jeremy Colwell (TMNT vs Batman comics). All of it remastered, reedited, gently updated, and filled with page after page of brand new art created by legendary comic book and gaming artists just for these two new, hardcover, collections. Plus alternative foil covers by Eastman and Laird, alternative color covers by Kevin Eastman and Sophie Campbell, and one-of-a-kind Kickstarter Exclusives you will love (miniatures, dice sets, poker deck, and so much more). See details below.

Thank you for your understanding and desire to support the historic and fun TMNT & Other Strangeness Kickstarter.

SALE #3 – Christmas Surprise Package offer now through December 24

The best deal in gaming – $100+ worth of goodies (often more) for $60 (plus shipping). Books are signed if you want them to be. It is just 4 weeks till Christmas and Kwanzaa, and 2 weeks till Hanukkah (starts December 7)! Less time when you account for the time to process and ship orders, so this weekend and next are the perfect time to place your holiday orders. The Surprise Package Offer ends December 24, 2023.

A great gift for any holiday, birthdays, anniversaries, or a nice treat for yourself (you deserve it), or a way to try new settings, and fill your collection. After these past four crazy years, you deserve to do something nice for yourself and your gaming pals. The Surprise Package Offer gets you physical game books at PDF prices, and we will sign them if you would like us to.

What is a Christmas Surprise Package? A smile and a hug that comes in a box filled with signed game books from available Palladium staff and freelancers. And God knows this year continues to be so crazy, we need something fun like the Christmas Surprise Package to bring a little joy and laughter into our lives. With so many people suffering from the fallout of the pandemic and related doldrums, frustration, and in some cases, money issues, they need to escape to realms of role-playing adventures. Not to mention the huge savings and autographs available via a Palladium Christmas Surprise Package.

A Surprise Package is your way to get physical books (and autographs if you want them) for PDF prices! $100+ worth of Palladium products for only $60 (plus shipping)! That can nab you four or more items when these days one core rule book can cost you that alone.

These Surprise Packages are our way of saying thank you for your support and showing you our love and appreciation. It’s a surprise because you never know exactly what you’re going to get or who will sign your books, because we pick from your Wish List and may surprise you with stuff you are not expecting. Extra items may include other RPGs, sourcebooks, issues of the Rifter®, novels, miniatures, prints, art books, greeting cards, T-shirts, negatives, and other items. Some books may be slightly damaged (scuffs, scratches, dings, a crunched corner, etc.) so we can send you more.

You get a ton of stuff on the cheap, you can get a bunch of autographs (if you want ‘em), and you look like you spent a fortune. This is also a great way to try that game setting you’ve wondered about – Splicers®, Dead Reign®, Chaos Earth®, Palladium Fantasy®, Nightbane®, Systems Failure, Mechanoid Invasion®, Rifts®, After the Bomb®, etc. – or to get something for your favorite Game Master. Or perhaps, to get your player group to consider a new game or setting.
