Last week was kinda crazy and different. A lot of meetings and discussions, some unexpected. Even the event at Flat Land Games last Saturday involved meeting and chatting with people as well as doing demos. This week has been almost nothing but work. Our noses have been on the grindstone, writing and editing Chaos Earth® Resurrection and the Double Issue of The Rifter® and working and planning for more support of Robotech® RPG Tactics. And I mean long hours of work. That’s a good thing and we feel good about making progress on these books and some other fronts.

With the holidays quickly approaching, it is time for Palladium’s annual tradition of offering our Christmas Surprise Package. A Grab Bag of fun and gaming in which you never know exactly what you are getting, but most of it comes from the Wish List you send us and is always worth the price. This year is no exception.

Available now – 2015 Palladium Christmas Surprise Packages

Christmas Surprise Packages, or “Grab Bags,” are a long-running holiday tradition in which you can get several Palladium RPG titles worth $86-$95 (oftentimes more!) for ONLY $42 plus shipping and handling! It is our way to say thank you to our many fans for being so kind and patient, and for your years of support. You are appreciated more than you may realize. That’s why Santa Kevin personally handpicks each and every item for every Grab Bag, and reads every comment (returning a short comment whenever he can).

I hope everyone is getting acclimated to Autumn. Those of you with children must deal with the greatest amount of transition, with kids back in school, school sports and activities, and all the madness that goes along with the school year and getting children off to school in the morning. Those of you in college have similar transitions to make. For the rest of us, it’s dealing with fewer hours of daylight, dropping temperatures and the approach of Winter. Ah, but the holidays are coming and Autumn and Winter are a great time to stay indoors and play games.
