Right here my friend! I'll be providing the monsters and supernatural threats for the Beyond the Supernatural portion.
Congratz by the way!

I read Kevins last update and went "ok yeah, I'll do a Rifter subscritpion - so I did. then I realised "Damn, he mentioned there would be a Rifter sub offer."
FFS! Silly me

Reagren Wright wrote:The Cover of #57 is AWESOME. Wow is all I can say. As for what's in the book, your guess is as good as mine. See the
submission was orginally a 80-100 page manuscript I sent over the summer. Wayne picked out groups of monsters and was
going to plug them in. I have no idea which monsters he picked. The book had faerie folk, undead, strange animals, and
monsters like the Makara (think I spelled it right, which is the nasty critter on the cover). All monsters have full stats (just
like in Monsters and Animals) and Rifts Conversion as well. So I'm as looking forward to seeing what's in the book too. The
one thing I can say is that thing on the cover is wickedly nasty.

Fans of the Palladium Fantasy RPG® are going to eat this issue up, because it is jam-packed with dangerous monsters designed specifically for the Palladium Fantasy® setting. But here’s the cool thing, these creatures also come with Rifts® Conversions, making these 20 monsters suitable for use in Palladium Fantasy® and any S.D.C. setting as well as for Rifts® and any M.D.C. settings
This issue also has some rocking Coalition vehicles and weapons, cool Beyond the Supernatural monsters and a bunch of other great material. Like I said, this is an awesome issue.

I wanted to push myself this year to learn as much as possible and Glen's - "Reagren Wright's" Makara did the trick nicely! Hats off to such a creative Writer and I hope to see more from you in the future of Palladiumbooks.
BTW, here is a much better look at the cover:

I highly recommend this issue as a keeper because it has a boat load of AWESOME new monsters for both Palladium Fantasy and BTS, and they certainly make for great conversions into RIFTS!
Reagren Wright wrote:No idea. They took monsters out of the manuscript and plugged them into the Rifter. No idea
what monsters or animals are in the Rifter. I can only hope "positive" feedback and admiration
for this upcoming Rifter might suggest that my manuscript moves into the line of possible
upcoming manuscripts. But right now its just one of the many manuscripts Kevin receives,
however I love the fact Wayne liked some of the things in it and plucked some of the animals
& monsters out of it.
Reagren Wright wrote:Steve Dawes' Beyond the Supernatural Monsters are very impressive as well. I like how you incorporate the lore skill with
knowing how these monsters function.

Quick question: How long did it take to see print after submission?

Hu?They printed that?
Oh wow. I heard a third party rumor from a bud of mine that one of my pieces was getting printed up soon, but haven't heard anything official from Wayne like normal. So, silly me, I assumed he might have heard wrong. Guess not! My buddy told me they assigned some really good art talent to my article too.
Can't wait to get mine in the mail.

"Curisor and curisor," said Alice. Wayne usually tells a person by email (or sometimes Kevin does) that they are going to use your work . You are after all the writer. And again very interesting concept.

I rather liked the Brawling Joes. Their backstory/history to the gangster days of Prohibition was a really nice touch in my opinion.

Actually I preferred your original drawings of the material. They were closer in style to what we see in the books in my opinion

Actually at least 70% of what you saw in each of my illos was Frankenstein art from scanned in illos form CWC, rearranged to look just the way I wanted, and filled-in/painted freehand with my mouse in Adobe Photo Deluxe. The body of the Bone Raptor is a painted-over B-1 and the wings and tale were taken from... I think it was one of the bots from the Japan book. I was very pleased to see the Manning brothers obviously used my Fanken-works as reference pieces for their illustrations. Even so, I may be a hack artist, but I consider myself to be a very good hack artist thanks to my computer and decade-old software.

Maybe. Frankly I'm not sure if they intend to print part two (lots of heavy-duty stuff there). I heard a rumor they would, but I honestly don't know. ... We'll see.
