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

• 2 Rifts® Bundles of Holding, ongoing
• A Rifts® Spring Sale, new
• Rifts® for Savage Worlds®: American Armageddon Kickstarter, new

I gave you fair warning April was going to be wild and crazy, and I wasn’t kidding. Palladium’s own Megaverse® Insider offer for the Rifts® Bestiary ended the first week.

It was followed by the spectacular Rifts® Phase World® and Rifts® Essentials Bundles of Holding – going on right now – a great way to get bundles of Rifts® PDF titles on the cheap, help a charity, and escape the cost of shipping physical books. Especially ideal for those of you living outside the United States.

That was followed by Palladium’s release of six new, non-book products. All of which are pretty cool. I love the new coffee mugs and have been wearing my Rifts® baseball cap for every morning walk.

And this week, Pinnacle Entertainment has launched its Rifts® for Savage Worlds®: American Armageddon Kickstarter. It shot off like a rocket, funded in 7 minutes, and as I write this at noon on Thursday, the Kickstarter is at $120,089 and still going strong with 18 days to go! Wow. Congratulations to everyone at Pinnacle behind this Kickstarter and the three new Rifts® for Savage Worlds® sourcebooks. I have read and approved all the art and text, so I can tell you their creative team knocked these books out of the park. Note: Rifts® for Savage Worlds® is created under official license from Palladium Books®, Inc.

The Rifts® Spring Sale starts today and runs through the weekend! With all the excitement over the Rifts® for Savage Worlds® Kickstarter and the Rifts® Bundles of Holding, we thought this is a great time for Palladium to offer a Rifts® Spring Sale of core titles and select World Books and adventure sourcebooks set in North America. It’s also a nice way for Bundle of Holding buyers and Rifts® American Armageddon Kickstarter backers to get Palladium’s more expansive and detailed original books for additional reference and adventure ideas. Limited time sale, now through Tuesday. Read on for details.

With all of the new Rifts® excitement, this may be the perfect time to build your PDF collection via the Rifts® Bundles of Holding.

The bargain-priced Phase World® bundle offers Rifts® Dimension Books for the very first time as a Bundle of Holding. The Rifts® Essentials Bundle of Holding offer is a fan favorite collection of core rule books and select World Books that is back. For those of you living outside the United States this is a great way to get PDFs of books and avoid the shipping cost. Plus, you help a worthy charity.

For each Bundle, you can pay the minimum price to get all the titles in that offer's Starter Collection. HOWEVER, if you pay more than that offer's threshold (average) price, you also get ALL the titles in that offer's Bonus Collection. As always, the sooner you buy in, the better the deal and bigger the savings. So do not delay!

COMING – Rifts® Bestiary Volume One

COMING – In the Face of Death™, a sourcebook for Dead Reign®

COMING – The Rifter® #83

UPDATE: Rifts^® Bestiary^™ Volume One

This is the first big “Monster Book” reference ever done for Rifts®, and it is epic. Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume One collects nearly 100 animals, and offers more than 20 new beasts found across North America. But this is much more than a collection of reprinted creatures pulled from a dozen World Books. Twenty are brand new and as uniquely “Rifts” as you can imagine, and ALL the old creatures are updated, expanded, sometimes redrawn, presented in alphabetical order, and their location shown at a glance on a map for each beast. The first volume will be 224-256 pages. So will Volume Two. Actually, we may need a Volume Three because there are so many monsters and exotic animals in Rifts North America alone, and the detailed and expanded information requires more pages. Most animals should also offer adventure ideas for Game Masters and offer opportunities for players.

Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume One is nearing completion. There are only the last couple dozen creatures requiring updating and final writing, the finishing of the maps for each, then layout and printing. As soon as it arrives back from the printer, we ship it to you!

All upcoming Rifts® Bestiary™ books will be great resources for players and G.M.s alike, with creatures that can be used as familiars, pets, riding animals, guard animals, and in some cases, even unlikely allies. Others are slobbering monsters or ravenous predators who include humans and D-Bees among their prey. All will give you plenty of spice to add to your characters and adventures. And each has a map that shows at a glance exactly where to find these beasts.

• Monsters and animals of Rifts North America organized into two (maybe three) big, easy to use sourcebooks.
• Updated descriptions and information for existing monsters.
• Updated and uniform stat blocks.
• New predators, exotic riding animals, beasts of burden, alien horrors, giant insects and more.
• A map for every creature showing where it is found.
• Easily adapted to any Palladium setting; basic S.D.C. stats included for each creature description.
• Fully illustrated, with art by Charles Walton II, Ramon Perez, Siembieda and many others. Written by Kevin Siembieda.
• 224-256 pages each volume – $26.99 retail – Cat. No. 896 (Volume One) – in final production. May release.

UPDATE: In the Face of Death^™, Garden of the Gods^™, Rifts^® Chaos Earth^®: Psychic Scream^™, AND other titles are all coming along

Again, with so much going on — 2 Rifts® Bundles of Holding, the Rifts® Armageddon America Kickstarter from Pinnacle, Palladium’s Rifts® Sale and Easter weekend — we thought that was plenty of news and excitement for this week. Oh and don’t forget about the non-book items like baseball caps, coffee mugs, and Rifts® pens.

As always, just because a book is not specifically listed in every Weekly Update, it does not mean it is discontinued or in limbo, it means there are more immediate things to talk about or there’s no substantive news to report. We are anxious to put as many of the books you’ve been waiting for into your hands as possible over the next 18 months. That includes The Rifter® #83 and #84, Rifts® Chaos Earth® Psychic Scream™, Chaos Earth® First Responders™, Rifts® Antarctica, Rifts® The Disavowed™, Rifts® CS Arsenal™, Living Nowhere™, Garden of the Gods, Beyond the Supernatural™ sourcebooks, more Fantasy sourcebooks and more. So if a book you are waiting for is not mentioned in an Update, it means there is nothing new to report, but it should still be in the pipeline and news for it will be coming in the weeks or months ahead. Right now, we are focused on releases for the next six months, which by our count is 6-7 titles. And many of them are in various stages of production or development.

UPDATE DriveThruRPG.com – See the 2 Rifts^® Bundles of Holding – Rifts^® Phase World^®/Dimension Books and Rifts^® Essentials for great PDFs at bargain prices and while you are at it, check out the Rifts^® for Savage Worlds^® Kickstarter

Bundle #2: Rifts^® “Essentials” – now thru April 29, 2019

It is called the Rifts® “Essentials” Bundle because it contains everything you need to play or start a campaign.

If you have never played Rifts®, the Essentials Bundle gives you plenty to get rolling.

If you are a long-time Rifts® fan, you get the Rifts® Ultimate Edition RPG and other “core” books to have available as a digital reference.

Rifts® Savage Worlds® players, this is a great way to learn more about the world and incorporate new elements and surprises into your game.

Bargain price and charity support. Not only do you get to try something new or build your existing e-library at a bargain price, but 10% of every purchase goes toward charity! We chose to support the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (missingkids.com) with both bundles. They provide desperately needed help and services to those in need of them.

Rifts® challenges and stimulates your imagination like few role-playing games ever will. Its twisted, post-apocalyptic world of science fiction, fantasy and horror offers diverse player characters and gaming opportunities you seldom see in the same setting. WARNING: Read a few of these books and you may be hooked playing adventures that pit you against an endless array of aliens, supernatural creatures, magic and super-technology that spans countless worlds and dimensions.

Both Bundles of Holding run in parallel until April 29, 2019 – don’t miss out on these limited time offers!

UPDATE: Rifts^® Bestiary^™ Volume One

This is the first big “Monster Book” reference ever done for Rifts®, and it is epic. Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume One collects nearly 100 animals, and offers more than 20 new beasts found across North America. But this is much more than a collection of reprinted creatures pulled from a dozen World Books. Twenty are brand new and as uniquely “Rifts” as you can imagine, and ALL the old creatures are updated, expanded, sometimes redrawn, presented in alphabetical order, and their location shown at a glance on a map for each beast. The first volume will be 224-256 pages. So will Volume Two. Actually, we may need a Volume Three because there are so many monsters and exotic animals in Rifts North America alone, and the detailed and expanded information requires more pages. Most animals should also offer adventure ideas for Game Masters and offer opportunities for players.

Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume One is nearing completion. There are only the last couple dozen creatures requiring updating and final writing, the finishing of the maps for each, then layout and printing. As soon as it arrives back from the printer, we ship it to you!

All upcoming Rifts® Bestiary™ books will be great resources for players and G.M.s alike, with creatures that can be used as familiars, pets, riding animals, guard animals, and in some cases, even unlikely allies. Others are slobbering monsters or ravenous predators who include humans and D-Bees among their prey. All will give you plenty of spice to add to your characters and adventures. And each has a map that shows at a glance exactly where to find these beasts.

• Monsters and animals of Rifts North America organized into two (maybe three) big, easy to use sourcebooks.
• Updated descriptions and information for existing monsters.
• Updated and uniform stat blocks.
• New predators, exotic riding animals, beasts of burden, alien horrors, giant insects and more.
• A map for every creature showing where it is found.
• Easily adapted to any Palladium setting; basic S.D.C. stats included for each creature description.
• Fully illustrated, with art by Charles Walton II, Ramon Perez, Siembieda and many others. Written by Kevin Siembieda.
• 224-256 pages each volume – $26.99 retail – Cat. No. 896 (Volume One) – in final production. May release.

UPDATE: In the Face of Death^™, Garden of the Gods^™, Rifts^® Chaos Earth^®: Psychic Scream^™, AND other titles are all coming along

This week’s news and updates are all about the two new Rifts® Bundles of Holding and the release of new, non-book items like baseball caps, coffee mugs, and don’t forget about the Rifts® pens.

Just because a book is not specifically listed every week does not mean it is discontinued or in limbo, it means there’s really nothing new to report this week. We are anxious to put as many of the books you’ve been waiting for into your hands as possible over the next 18 months. That includes The Rifter® #83 and #84, Rifts® Chaos Earth® Psychic Scream™, Chaos Earth® First Responders™, Rifts® Antarctica, Rifts® The Disavowed™, Rifts® CS Arsenal™, Living Nowhere™, Garden of the Gods, Beyond the Supernatural™ sourcebooks, more Fantasy sourcebooks and more. So if a book you are waiting for is not mentioned in an Update, it means there is nothing new to report, but it should still be in the pipeline and news for it will be coming in the weeks or months ahead. Right now, we are focused on releases for the next six months, which by our count is 6-7 titles. And many of them are in various stages of production or development.
