Weekly Updates 2

Palladium Books® Weekly Update – Dec. 20, 2018

By Kevin Siembieda

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

Happy holidays to everyone! Christmas is nearly upon us and Kwanzaa is Wednesday. We send all of you who celebrate these holidays the warmest wishes and hope your celebration is joyful and filled with love.

I have been delighted to see so many gamers from outside the USA taking advantage of the Christmas Surprise Package offer. As I have noted, it is a great way to mitigate the shipping cost. I mean, if you are getting roughly $100 worth of product for $46, the high cost of shipping (typically $50-$65 outside the USA) is mostly negated. It’s like buying the books at retail plus a little extra for shipping. Can’t speak to VAT or Customs fees, but it’s a big help. We have been seeing a lot of orders from Australia, Canada, England, Finland, France and Germany as well as other European countries. And of course, tons of Surprise Packages for our fellow Americans. Smart, because these Grab Bags are a great deal and a way to get signed books. I’m also pleased to see many new customers joining the ranks of Palladium gamers and a large number of gamers coming back into the fold! Awesome, we welcome you all. Keep those orders coming because the Surprise Package offer will be continued for a few more weeks.

Palladium is extending the Christmas Surprise Package offer for a few weeks AFTER Christmas. This extension has become part of the Grab Bag tradition as much as the Surprise Packages themselves. And do not miss the new DriveThruRPG.com Sale of Rifts® PDFs titles including Rifts® Ultimate Edition, Rifts® core books, Rifts® World Books, Rifts® Sourcebooks, Rifts® Adventure Sourcebooks, and the Coalition Wars® Siege on Tolkeen™ Sourcebook series. Remember, it’s not too late to send a Rifts® PDF Holiday gift or a Gift Certificate in time for the holidays! More details below.

Christmas Grab Bags

Christmas Surprise Package Offer – EXTENDED to January 14, 2019

This is absolutely your last chance to snag a 2018 Surprise Package as a gift for a birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day (it will be here before you know it), graduation, or a treat for yourself. A Surprise Package is an inexpensive way to try new games, new settings, fill holes in your collection, get caught up on The Rifter®, or replace battered old books. Whatever the reason, order soon, because this offer is almost over.

Why extend this amazing offer? Because it is the nice thing to do. We realize many of you are so full of the Christmas Spirit that you spend your money on gifts for your loved ones rather than yourself. This wonderful act of charity often leaves no money for you to buy a Palladium Surprise Package for yourself. We think that sacrifice is pretty wonderful and what the holiday season is all about, so we extend the offer so that you selfless souls can pick up a Surprise Package after the holidays. We know this happens, because a lot of people over the years have thanked us for the extension for this very reason.

The extension is also for you Johnny Come-Latelies who are so caught up in the holiday frenzy, work and life that somehow you miss placing your order for the Christmas Surprise Package before the offer ends. It is also for those of you who wish you had ordered one (or another one) but forgot. Lastly, it is our way to carry that holiday good cheer into the New Year. So get your post-holiday Surprise Package and enjoy. Please note that this offer will not be extended further. This is your last chance. And please spread the word to let people know the offer is extended for a short time. Happy Holidays.

Get RPG books for the price of PDFs – via the Palladium Christmas Surprise Package

What is a Christmas Surprise Package? A way to get $95-$100 or more worth of physical gaming product (not PDFs) for the price of PDFs! For ONLY $46 (plus shipping and handling), get gifts for others or for yourself. And each book is signed if you should want autographs. It is our way of saying thank you to our many fans for their support. You are appreciated more than you may realize.

The best deal of the holidays! You are likely to pay $50 or more for just a single core rule book, but for $46 plus shipping, you can get 4-6 books in a Palladium Surprise Package, depending on their retail value. Or you can get that core rule book and 2-4 sourcebooks. And we will sign the books if you request it. How do you beat that? It simply is the best deal in gaming! Our way of giving back to the fans and making the holidays special for you. A 20 year tradition of which gamers cannot get enough.

  • Palladium Surprise Packages make the perfect holiday gifts for the gamers in your life. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you’re looking for a gift for a birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or any special occasion that falls between now and March, a Surprise Package may be the ideal way to go. You get a ton of stuff on the cheap, you can get a bunch of autographs, and you look like you spent a fortune.
  • Fill holes in your own collection.
  • Try new game settings – Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy®, Heroes Unlimited™, Splicers®, Nightbane®, Dead Reign®, Beyond the Supernatural™, Rifts® Chaos Earth®, After the Bomb® (mutant animals), Ninjas & Superspies™, RECON® and all the rest.
  • Get cool stuff (miniatures, bookmarks, maps, prints, greeting cards, T-shirts, etc.).
  • Request autographs and Kevin and available Palladium staff and freelancers will sign every book.
  • Get something for your fellow gamers or favorite Game Master, husband, wife, brother, sister, child, etc.
  • Be surprised when the package arrives.

Please spread the word to gamers everywhere. People only learn about the Palladium Christmas Surprise Package offer by word of mouth, The Rifter® and our website, so please post and spread the word everywhere.

Merry Christmas and Warm Wishes from All of Us at Palladium Books

In the joyful spirit of Christmas, the rest of this Update is limited to comments from just some of the many fans who leave us brief comments in their Surprise Package orders. We love reading them and seeing people’s favorite books, and appreciate the kinds words, holiday well wishes and constructive suggestions. I read every single Grab Bag order and select the items that go into each one. I try to make each one special and tailored to your wishes and wants.

I also like posting some of the comments in these Weekly Updates so you can see what other gamers are saying and playing. It also enables me to give a little shout out to some of you to show our appreciation. Even though we only indicate the person’s initials and the city and state where they live, we hope you know who you are. Of course, we appreciate each and every one of you, and wish you ALL a very Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, a joyful Kwanzaa and Winter Solstice, and a wondrous New Year that is filled with good health, prosperity and joy.

– Santa Kevin and his Palladium Elves

Surprise Package comments from fans like you

Every year there is a section where the customer can offer comments and suggestions with his or her Surprise Package order. Every year, in acknowledgment of our fans, and because they are fun to read, we offer a sampling in the Weekly Updates.

My life is better because of the outlet for my creativity that you have provided. Well done to you and everyone who has ever contributed no matter how small to your Megaverse®.

[I am humbled by your heartfelt words, W.S. Thank you. I’ve said many times before, we love what we do and love our fans. I could not have asked for a more magical life. Sure we’ve had our troubles and tribulations. Life is hard. But it becomes so much less difficult and so worthwhile when you are writing and designing for people like you and so many Palladium fans. I hope to continue to do so for another 2-3 decades. Keep that imagination burning bright and thank you so much for your kind words. They mean a lot to all of us.

[Nice, C.H., soon game night will be a family affair. Thank you for the kind words and game on. – KS]

J.T. in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, writes, in part: After the Bomb® were probably my first [gaming] books.

I just want to thank all of you for going to Anime North and talking to me, even about movies and signing my stuff. It was a pleasure meeting you all. I am an old gamer and I think your system is the best and most creative out there. Thanks again to all the staff and freelancers. Take care all of you.

[Hey, J.T., it was nice meeting you as well. We love Anime North and are happy to attend whenever they are kind enough to invite us, our schedule permitting.

[Welcome back to Palladium gaming, N.O., and thank you for your kind words. I hope you liked the Surprise Package and continue to have fun gaming away. Please keep that imagination burning bright. – KS]

B.C. in Ajax, Ontario, Canada, writes: I figured this [the Grab Bag] was the best way to complete my Palladium Fantasy collection. Merry Christmas to all of you and God Bless.

[The same to you, B.C. May you and your family be blessed and enjoy a wonderful Christmas and prosperous New Year. And you are right, the Surprise Package is a great way to fill collections and get more bang for your buck. – KS]

R.K. in Hixson, Tennessee, writes: A major thank you and Merry Christmas to you and all your staff. You guys have given me and my friends countless hours of fun fiction and fantasy just by doing what you guys and gals do. So again Merry Christmas and a blessed New Years.

[Thank you, R.K., for your support and warm regards. My you enjoy a joyful Christmas and a blessed New Year as well. – KS]

P.G. in Melrose Park, Illinois, writes: Thanks again for many years of adventure.

[You are welcome, P.G., may there be many more to come. – KS]

C.O. in Chicago, Illinois, writes, in part: Been playing Rifts® since 1994. Still play the same hatchling Great Horned Dragon in one of my three campaigns... If you ever do make a book dedicated to dragons ... KS]

[Hmmm, funny you should mention a book dedicated to dragons. In the meantime, C.O., you might want to check out Dragons and Gods™ for Palladium Fantasy® with Rifts® conversion notes, if you haven’t already.

E.V. in Webster Groves, Missouri, writes, in part: Autographs not necessary, but nice ... thank you for still being around after all these years! I even still have my 1st Edition copies of Beyond the Supernatural™, Robotech® and TMNT®, lol. You guys are such a part of my life, I hope for many more years to come. Keep up the amazing work.

[I hope so too, E.V.! We have ideas for a million books and some truly epic story arcs. We love what we do and the people, like you, who we do it all for. I think our passion and respect for our audience shows through in our work. Thanks for appreciating that. Btw, happy to sign books. – KS]

M.W. in North Grafton, Massachusetts, writes: My gaming group and I loved meeting you all at Gen Con and we hope to see you again next year! I personally cannot wait for the Rifts® Bestiary.

[We’ll be at Gen Con next year, M.W., so please swing on by the booth. I can’t wait for the Rifts® Bestiary to come out either. Volume One, coming soon. I’m afraid the holiday season put a crimp in getting it done sooner. Funny how we forget, every year, how much time the Surprise Packages take, but they are worth every minute. Lots of great stuff coming in 2019. – KS]

C.H. in Port Perry, Ontario, Canada, writes, in part: My husband has loved Rifts® since he found this community as a teenager ... He has passed on his love of the game, the creativity, and the camaraderie to our two daughters, 10 and 16, as a family game... Thanks.

[That’s wonderful, C.H. I am always thrilled to see our love for role-playing games passed on to new generations. I hope the Surprise Package was a hit with your family. Keep that imagination burning bright and happy holidays. – KS]

J.W. in Vancouver, Washington, writes: Thank you for once again providing this wonderful opportunity [the Surprise Package offer] during the holidays. I greatly appreciate the chance to complete my After the Bomb® and Heroes Unlimited™ book collection at a fantastic price! Likewise, the ability to check out new areas of the Palladium multiverse that have long intrigued me is just the motivation I needed to take the plunge. Last year was my first time taking advantage of this awesome offer. I was extremely happy with what I received. Best wishes to you all during this festive season and the year to follow.

[Happy to do it J.W., for exactly the reasons you outlined so wonderfully in your comments. I have made sure you’ll enjoy this Grab Bag just as much as the last. Merry Christmas and happy New Year. May it be a great one for us all. We will certainly try to bring you a lot of new products to fuel your imagination. – KS]

D.T. in San Antonio, Texas, writes: Kevin, you deliver imagination and adventure to us all year. I hope that you and your game making geniuses enjoy the holidays as much as you have entertained us all.

[Awww, how nice. Thank you, D.T. We have a lot of new books to finish and get into everyone’s hands, so time off is minimal. That said, we are enjoying the holidays and this time of giving very, very much, Thank you. – KS]

Christmas Grab Bags

LAST Weekend to order and get your Palladium Christmas Surprise Package “guaranteed” in time for Christmas!

– Less than 12 Days till Christmas – half that in shipping days, so place your orders now

What is a Palladium Christmas Surprise Package? A way to get $95-$100 or more worth of gaming product for ONLY $46 (plus shipping and handling) as gifts for others or for yourself. And each book signed if you should want autographs. It is our way of saying thank you to our many fans for their support. You are appreciated more than you may realize.

The best deal of the holidays! You are likely to pay $50 or more for a for just a single core rule book, but for $45 plus shipping, you can get 4-6 books in a Palladium Surprise Package, depending on their retail value. Or you can get that core rule book and 2-4 sourcebooks. And we will sign the books if you request it. How do you beat that? It simply is the best deal in gaming! Our way of giving back to the fans and making the holidays special for you. A 20 year tradition of which gamers cannot get enough.

  • Palladium Surprise Packages make the perfect holiday gifts for the gamers in your life. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you’re looking for a gift for a birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or any special occasion that falls between now and March, a Surprise Package may be the ideal way to go. You get a ton of stuff on the cheap, you can get a bunch of autographs, and you look like you spent a fortune.
  • Fill holes in your own collection.
  • Try new game settings – Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy®, Heroes Unlimited™, Splicers®, Nightbane®, Dead Reign®, Beyond the Supernatural™, Rifts® Chaos Earth®, After the Bomb® (mutant animals), Ninjas & Superspies™, RECON® and all the rest.
  • Get cool stuff (miniatures, bookmarks, maps, prints, greeting cards, T-shirts, etc.).
  • Request autographs and Kevin and available Palladium staff and freelancers will sign every book.
  • Get something for your fellow gamers or favorite Game Master, husband, wife, brother, sister, child, etc.
  • Be surprised when the package arrives.
  • All items personally selected and comments read by Santa Kevin, himself. Ho, ho, ho!

Your “Wish List” is vital – The Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving. To do this, you submit a list of 12-15 Palladium products (or more) FOR EACH Surprise Package you order. This list of 12-15 items for EACH Grab Bag is critical, because you will not know which items we will select to send you. That makes it just like a Christmas gift because it’s a surprise. Plus, Santa Kevin, who personally hand-picks every item for every Grab Bag, may toss in something extra like a limited edition print, or color maps, or T-shirt, or issue of The Rifter®, or something else he thinks you’ll enjoy.

Send us your brief comments. There is a special form and format to fill out for Christmas Surprise Packages, including a place where you can offer your brief comments, suggestions, greetings and salutations.

Please spread the word to gamers everywhere. People only learn about the Palladium Christmas Surprise Package offer by word of mouth, The Rifter® and our website, so please post and spread the word everywhere.

To those of you outside the USA, the X-Mas Surprise Package is a way to get books and circumvent the damn high cost of shipping from the United States. Since you are getting $90-$100 worth of product and only paying $46 plus a small handling charge, shipping via Priority Mail International (required for packages weighing more than four pounds) to most locations in Europe, Canada and many other countries is around $50-$60 US dollars. HOWEVER, because the cost of the product is so low, that’s the equivalent of paying retail for the products and only $0-$30 for shipping. A very good deal. Plus you get autographs if you want them! X-Mas Surprise Packages are the way to go for those of you outside the USA. Please take advantage of it to get all those products you’ve wished you could get except the shipping was too prohibitive. We feel your pain.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The X-Mas Surprise Package is a Grab Bag. As such, while we always try to send you items from your Wish List, you may NOT get everything you ask for and you are likely to get one or more items NOT on your list, like The Rifter®, or other item(s) we think you should enjoy. PLEASE give us a long Wish List and fill out other questions (favorite Palladium games, would like to try X, and so on) because it helps us to make your Surprise Package special. If you need or want specific items, do NOT use the Surprise Package; place a regular order at full retail to guarantee you get the books you want. Offer ends December 24, 2018. Also note: There are no Digital Surprise Packages this year.

Simplified Shipping Time Table for Christmas delivery – place orders now thru the weekend for best results

If you do NOT need an order in time for Christmas, any shipping method is suitable and we would recommend UPS Ground or Media Mail. There is no reason for you to read these guidelines.

  • UPS Ground in the USA is still viable: All orders placed by December 16 and shipping to the contiguous United States, will ship from Palladium on Monday, and arrive in time for Christmas. Orders placed up to December 18 “should” arrive to locations east of the Mississippi River in time, but no guarantee. Note: UPS Ground in the USA is 3-5 days delivery to almost all US locations other than Alaska, Hawaii and the Territory of Puerto Rico.
  • Priority Mail in the USA is still viable: Orders placed today, December 13, will arrive before Christmas. Priority Mail orders placed as late as December 16 “should” arrive in time for Christmas, but we can NOT guarantee it.
  • Media Mail: There is NO GUARANTEED delivery in time for Christmas when you use Media Mail from this point forward. If you NEED your order in time for Christmas, DO NOT use Media Mail. You might get it in time, but probably not. If you do not need it in time for Christmas, Media Mail is the least expensive, but also the slowest and least reliable method of shipping via the US Post Office. You “should” get your package in 4-7 days. HOWEVER, we have found it can sometimes take 8-21 days for delivery during the holiday season, regardless of what the US Postal Service may tell you. Use Media Mail at your own risk. YOU accept ALL risk when you use Media Mail, and Palladium Books will NOT replace any order shipped by Media Mail that may go missing or is damaged during the holiday season.

After December 16 – if you MUST HAVE YOUR ORDER in time for CHRISTMAS “guaranteed” – please consider the following shipping methods:

  • UPS 3-Day Select in the USA – Place your order by December 17 for guaranteed Christmas delivery. Orders placed December 18 “should” also arrive in time for Christmas but may NOT.
  • UPS 2nd Day Air in the USA – Place your order by December 19.
  • UPS Next Day Air in the USA – Place your order by December 20 to receive the package on Saturday or Monday (Christmas Eve).
  • Express Mail 2nd Day Air in the USA – Place your order by December 18.
  • Express Mail Next Day Air in the USA – Place your order by December 20.
  • Any Canadian or Overseas Package shipped from this point forward is not likely to arrive in time for Christmas even via Express Mail. Sorry, we CANNOT guarantee a Christmas delivery, but if you order no later than December 17, you might get it in time.

REMINDER: IF YOU ABSOLUTELY WANT YOUR ORDER IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS without paying extra for shipping – You NEED TO place your order OVER THE NEXT 4 DAYS! For most of you in the USA, placing an order by December 16 and shipping via UPS Ground or Priority Mail means you will get your order in time for Christmas, barring unexpected delays via the shipping service. Note: Palladium Books has NO control over the shipping once the package leaves our warehouse, nor over the cost of shipping/postage. If you do NOT need your order in time for Christmas, any shipping method is suitable and we would recommend UPS Ground or Media Mail. Game on.

Systems Failure RPG Shadows of Light Boxed Nightmares

AVAILABLE NOW – Just for the Holidays – Back in stock for the first time in decades!

Just for the holidays, Palladium is doing a limited short-run of three out-of-print titles that have been out of print for years. Two of them have been out of print for decades!

All are available in Palladium’s online store and will be considered as requests in Christmas Surprise Packages while supplies last. We expect to print enough to get us through the holiday season. Enjoy. Ho, ho, ho.

The Rifter Number 82

UPDATE: The Rifter® #82 – Available now

This 112 page issue of The Rifter® #82 shipped at the end of November and should be in stores now. Of course, it is also available right now from Palladium Books. Snag yourself a copy along with one of the re-releases (Boxed Nightmares™, Nightbane® Shadows of Light™ and Systems Failure™ RPG). This is a great issue, packed with source material plus Erick Wujcik remembered.

The Rifter® #82 is epic. Most of it is “official” source material and fun as can be: the reprinted Wujcik gaming advice, the Pyromancer O.C.C., the 50+ Pyromancy spells, the HU2 and Nightbane material, the preview monsters from Rifts® Bestiary, it’s all top-notch and fodder for adventure. Numerous people who have seen the proofreader’s copy have said the Erick Wujcik Remembrance is wonderful. Some said part of it brought tears to their eyes, while other parts made them chuckle and smile. All of it is a celebration of life and imagination. So I highly recommend The Rifter® #82 to everyone.

Palladium Books® Weekly Update – Dec. 7, 2018

By Kevin Siembieda

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

Hanukkah is already here, so Happy Hanukkah to those of you who celebrate that blessed holiday. Christmas and winter are on the wind and getting closer every day.

The Christmas holiday season is special to me for many reasons, but especially the wonderful people in my life, including you. We have been pounding out and filling up Christmas Surprise Packages like crazy. We know we’re doing a good job and making you all quite happy, because many of you have been telling us so or ordering your second or third Surprise Package. Awesome. That’s the whole idea, making people smile and delivering Christmas joy to as many people as possible.

Two new things: A new digital Palladium Catalog is now available for your perusal. It should be a helpful resource and good for selecting items for the Wish List of your Surprise Package. Palladium Gift Certificates are also now available, because you requested them. Enjoy.

Otherwise, my focus has been three things, 1) spreading Christmas cheer every way I can (to you that’s the Surprise Packages and other sales), 2) finishing the Rifts® Bestiary, and 3) getting the next several other books into production (mainly assigning artwork and wrangling freelance writers).

I’m happy that people are digging the release of BTS Sourcebook Boxed Nightmares™, Nightbane® Sourcebook 4: Shadows of Light™ and the alien invasion Systems Failure™ RPG. I’m also thrilled that The Rifter® #82 shipped last Friday because it’s a great issue on the heels of several great issues. Some folks are understandably disappointed that The Rifter® will be going on an indefinite hiatus after issue #84, but we have some great stuff planned for #83 and #84. And a hiatus does not mean forever. And let’s not forget, as I stated in our Rifter® announcement, we are doing this in order to get a lot more new books into your hands. And boy oh boy, do we have some great sourcebooks and welcomed surprises in store for you. To make them a reality, we need to focus.

I hope you know the Palladium staff and I are more dedicated than ever to bringing you great games, mind-bending sourcebooks and epic adventure for another three decades, God willing. So are the growing number of freelance artists and writers. To accelerate that process, we have to put The Rifter® aside for awhile. We love what we do and have so many new, bold ideas for products we can’t wait to share with you.

I will talk about our plans for the future (all good) in the New Year. For now, let us focus on the fun and joy of the holiday season. I know people grumble about the commercialization of the holiday season, but as someone who grew up poor and who has lost too many loved ones, I cherish my friends and love to buy and make them things for the holidays. I love to surprise them and make them smile. I love sharing what little time I seem to have these days, just talking and goofing around. You should too. Time is too short, and we never know when that special someone will no longer be with us. In the past couple of months I’ve had two dear friends suffer heart attacks. Both guys are in good health and only in their forties. Thankfully, both survived and are doing well. I also recently reconnected with one of my old Defilers. A great guy and wonderful player. About five years ago he nearly died and still faces challenges in the aftermath of that cataclysmic event. (Hang tough, my friend!)

The point is, show those you care about how much they mean to you. Not necessarily with a physical gift, but with a card, short letter, email, text, or better yet, a telephone call or a visit. Nothing beats hearing each other’s voice or being face to face. Reconnect and call to say, “Hello, been thinking of you.” I was thrilled to hear from my old Defiler friend. A sweet guy who was sort of the young Luke Skywalker of the gaming group and of the Defilers, and of whom I have only the fondest memories. I’m having lunch with another friend today and will enjoy a party at the neighbors later this evening. Kathy and I live on a street that’s like something out of the movie It’s a Wonderful Life, where everyone knows each other’s name, smiles, waves and stops to chat. It’s very nice and very different than the world I grew up in as a child. And this is the time of year to let the good people in your life know they matter. A phone call may be one of the most welcomed gifts of the season.

So with that sentiment, I’m going to focus on good cheer and the positive. Our warm regards to every one of you from me and all of us at Palladium Books. We appreciate and value our extended Palladium family. (By the way, that’s you, in case you didn’t know.) Which is why I always post more of the comments from the Surprise Packages through the holidays. Everyone seems to enjoy reading them and we like to give a little shout out to some of our fans by sharing their comments and kind words.

NEWS: Updated Digital Catalog

It has been long overdue, but we finally have a current PDF Catalog of Palladium Books® products available here on the Palladium Website and on DriveThruRPG.com. A big thanks to Rex Bardoll and Wayne Smith for making this possible, and to Scott Gibbons for planting the seeds to do so in the first place.

NEWS: Palladium Gift Certificates now available

You asked for them, so due to popular request, you can now purchase Palladium Gift Certificates for your gaming friends and loved ones who are difficult to buy for. The prompts should be pretty self-explanatory. You purchase the desired amount, fill out the email info of that person along with an optional gift message, and that individual gets an email with info on how to redeem the Gift Certificate and you get a confirmation email. Simple. Another big thanks to Rex Bardoll and Wayne Smith for doing the work to make Gift Certificates available in the Palladium online store and to Chuck Walton for his frequent reminders to get it done.

Christmas Grab Bags

Only 10 days to order and get your Palladium Christmas Surprise Package guaranteed in time for Christmas!

– Less than 3 Weeks till Christmas – order today

What is a Palladium Christmas Surprise Package? A way to get $95-$100 or more worth of gaming product for ONLY $46 (plus shipping and handling) as gifts for others or for yourself. And each book signed if you should want autographs. It is our way of saying thank you to our many fans for their support. You are appreciated more than you may realize.

The best deal of the holidays! You are likely to pay $50 or more for a for just a single core rule book, but for $45 plus shipping, you can get 4-6 books in a Palladium Surprise Package, depending on their retail value. Or you can get that core rule book and 2-4 sourcebooks. And we will sign the books if you request it. How do you beat that? It simply is the best deal in gaming! Our way of giving back to the fans and making the holidays special for you. A 20 year tradition of which gamers cannot get enough.

  • Palladium Surprise Packages make the perfect holiday gifts for the gamers in your life. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you’re looking for a gift for a birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or any special occasion that falls between now and March, a Surprise Package may be the ideal way to go. You get a ton of stuff on the cheap, you can get a bunch of autographs, and you look like you spent a fortune.
  • Fill holes in your own collection.
  • Try new game settings – Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy®, Heroes Unlimited™, Splicers®, Nightbane®, Dead Reign®, Beyond the Supernatural™, Rifts® Chaos Earth®, After the Bomb® (mutant animals), Ninjas & Superspies™, RECON® and all the rest.
  • Get cool stuff (miniatures, bookmarks, maps, prints, greeting cards, T-shirts, etc.).
  • Request autographs and Kevin and available Palladium staff and freelancers will sign every book.
  • Get something for your fellow gamers or favorite Game Master, husband, wife, brother, sister, child, etc.
  • Be surprised when the package arrives.
  • All items personally selected and comments read by Santa Kevin, himself. Ho, ho, ho!

Your “Wish List” is vital – The Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving. To do this, you submit a list of 12-15 Palladium products (or more) FOR EACH Surprise Package you order. This list of 12-15 items for EACH Grab Bag is critical, because you will not know which items we will select to send you. That makes it just like a Christmas gift because it’s a surprise. Plus, Santa Kevin, who personally hand-picks every item for every Grab Bag, may toss in something extra like a limited edition print, or color maps, or T-shirt, or issue of The Rifter®, or something else he thinks you’ll enjoy.

Send us your brief comments. There is a special form and format to fill out for Christmas Surprise Packages, including a place where you can offer your brief comments, suggestions, greetings and salutations.

Please spread the word to gamers everywhere. People only learn about the Palladium Christmas Surprise Package offer by word of mouth, The Rifter® and our website, so please post and spread the word everywhere.

To those of you outside the USA, the X-Mas Surprise Package is a way to get books and circumvent the damn high cost of shipping from the United States. Since you are getting $90-$100 worth of product and only paying $46 plus a small handling charge, shipping via Priority Mail International (required for packages weighing more than four pounds) to most locations in Europe, Canada and many other countries is around $50-$60 US dollars. HOWEVER, because the cost of the product is so low, that’s the equivalent of paying retail for the products and only $0-$30 for shipping. A very good deal. Plus you get autographs if you want them! X-Mas Surprise Packages are the way to go for those of you outside the USA. Please take advantage of it to get all those products you’ve wished you could get except the shipping was too prohibitive. We feel your pain.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The X-Mas Surprise Package is a Grab Bag. As such, while we always try to send you items from your Wish List, you may NOT get everything you ask for and you are likely to get one or more items NOT on your list, like The Rifter®, or other item(s) we think you should enjoy. PLEASE give us a long Wish List and fill out other questions (favorite Palladium games, would like to try X, and so on) because it helps us to make your Surprise Package special. If you need or want specific items, do NOT use the Surprise Package; place a regular order at full retail to guarantee you get the books you want. Offer ends December 24, 2018. Also note: There are no Digital Surprise Packages this year.

Shipping Guidelines for Christmas delivery – 2 weeks till Christmas weekend

IF YOU WANT YOUR ORDER or SURPRISE PACKAGE IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS, YOU NEED TO ORDER OVER THE NEXT 10 DAYS! For most of you in the USA, placing an order over the next 10 days guarantees you get your Christmas Surprise Packages in time for Christmas without any concern. And without having to pay for a faster more expensive method of shipping! That gives you till December 17 to place orders in time for Christmas. The only exception is Media Mail, as it is slower and less reliable. If shipping by Media Mail, place your order BEFORE December 11 – and even then there is no guarantee whenever you use Media Mail. Note: When you place your order now and over the next 10 days, you avoid the Christmas rush and reduce the chance of your package getting lost or delayed in the mail!

Shipping Considerations: When ordering, you need to factor in time for Palladium to process those orders (usually 24 hours, not counting weekends) and the actual transit time of shipping itself, generally 3-5 business days in the USA depending on where you live. 7-15 days in Canada. Do NOT include Saturday or Sunday as shipping days, because they are not. Get those orders in NOW to get your order or Surprise Packages guaranteed in time for Christmas without having to pay an arm and a leg for expedited shipping!

Please make sure your address is complete and includes your Apartment Number. You help us and yourself by sending a long Wish List and making your order clear.

- Media Mail: Least expensive but risky. Place your order via Media Mail by December 11 and you should get your Surprise Package by Christmas. HOWEVER, Palladium will NOT guarantee any package shipped via Media Mail to arrive before Christmas. Use this method at your own risk. Note: Media Mail, which applies only to paper goods, is the least expensive method of shipping, BUT also the slowest and least reliable method. The USPS will tell you 4-7 days for delivery, HOWEVER, experience has shown us that delivery time is more like 8-21 days during the Christmas season. Ship via Media Mail at your own risk. Note: If you want your 2018 Surprise Package quickly, DO NOT ship via Media Mail; use UPS or Priority Mail instead. Rare books and one-of-a-kind items like original art, numbered prints and gold editions CANNOT be replaced if lost or damaged in the mail. The risk and the loss is YOURS and the items, even books, will NOT be replaced if you ship via Media Mail.

- UPS Ground in the USA is 3-5 days delivery to almost all locations other than Alaska and Hawaii. However, there can be delays due to weather, accidents and sheer volume. Place your order by December 15 to guarantee Christmas delivery. Those of you who live east of the Mississippi River may have till December 17. Since Christmas is on Tuesday, those of you east of the Mississippi should get your order in time, as UPS Ground ships to most locations in the east in 2-3 days, but it is a small gamble. Those of you living west of the Mississippi need to get orders to us no later than December 13 to absolutely guarantee delivery by Monday, December 24 or sooner. Barring unexpected weather or accidents, of course.

- Priority Mail in the USA – Place your order by December 13 (should be a bit cheaper than UPS 3-Day Select). Priority mail orders placed as late as December 16 should arrive in time for Christmas, but cannot be guaranteed.

Express Shipping Methods:

- UPS 3-Day Select in the USA – Place your order by December 17 for guaranteed Christmas delivery.

- UPS 2nd Day Air in the USA – Place your order by December 18.

- UPS Next Day Air in the USA – Place your order by December 20 to receive the package on Saturday or Monday (Christmas Eve).

- Express Mail in the USA – Place your order by December 17.

- Parcel Post in the USA – NOT ADVISED. Placing an order by December 13 means you MAY get your order in time for Christmas, but probably not. There is only a 33% chance. We CANNOT guarantee a Christmas delivery using Parcel Post at this time.

- December 6 – to our friends in Canada and overseas – We suggest ordering no later than December 6, but sooner is better as we cannot guarantee delivery in time for Christmas. Your package should arrive in time, but if there are delays at Customs, work strike, bad weather, etc., it might miss. Order sooner rather than later. Happy Holidays, one and all!

Remember: 1. Palladium needs a day or two to process and pack orders, and we cannot ship on the weekends. As Christmas gets near, we will work our hardest to turn orders around as fast as possible. Order on Sunday, it should go out on Monday ... but maybe Tuesday depending on volume.

2. Surprise Package mitigates overseas shipping costs – take advantage of this while you can. The low cost of the Surprise Package mitigates the cost of shipping. It is, in effect, the equivalent of getting the books you want at retail, plus autographs, and paying the equivalent of only $5-$20 for overseas shipping! MANY overseas customers take advantage of the Surprise Packages for this reason! And it is likely the ONLY way for you to get autographs. Give it a try, we don’t think you will be disappointed.

3. Palladium Books has NO control over the shipping service once it leaves our warehouse, nor over the cost of shipping/postage, or the brokerage fees, Customs charges, taxes or any other related fees charged by other countries. Within the USA, Media Mail is the least expensive method of shipping, but also the least reliable and slowest. To our Canadian customers, we have no idea why it costs so much to mail books and product to you. So much for NAFTA making things easier. Game on.

Most of it is “official” source material and fun as can be: the reprinted Wujcik gaming advice, the Pyromancer O.C.C., the 50+ Pyromancy spells, the HU2 and Nightbane material, the preview monsters from Rifts® Bestiary, it’s all top-notch and fodder for adventure. Numerous people who have seen the proofreader’s copy have said the Erick Wujcik Remembrance is wonderful.
