Only 6 Weeks till Palladium Open House – April 30, May 1, 2 & 3
I think this is going to be our best Open House ever.
The place is looking awesome, with artwork and posters covering the walls, things hanging from the ceiling, cool displays, shelves of books and other decorations everywhere.
We feel like we are well organized this year too.
As for the event itself . . . there all kinds of great role-playing game events scheduled for nonstop playing action. Even after the Palladium Warehouse closes gaming continues into the late night at the hotel (provided there is a Palladium Rep available, and there should be). All free.
I do believe EVERY Palladium RPG game setting is represented: Robotech, Rifts, Chaos Earth, Palladium Fantasy, Heroes Unlimited, Minion Wars, Nightbane, Beyond the Supernatural, Dead Reign, After the Bomb, Splicers, RECON, etc. Plus there will be special panel talks, the Costume Competition (bring those costumes!), live auction, special Erick Wujcik tribute, artist alley, writers alley (meet and greet) and more.
We have all kinds of surprises in store for those of you attending. There may be a surprise guest. There might be a big announcement. There will be some rare and coveted items in the live auction. There will be a number of new, cool, specialty items debuting at the Open House like . . . nope, can’t say any more, it would ruin the surprise. I can tell you many of the specialty items are things we have NEVER offered before and all are fun and desireable.
I must encourage YOU to come and join the fun. Especially those of you within driving distance!

Late breaking update on
Robotech® Masters sourcebook
The printer just notified us that the book is still hung up in the bindery and will not ship to Palladium until Thursday morning.
We are all primed and ready to ship in the warehouse, so we were all disappointed by the news. The printer assured us that tomorrow is an absolute certainty. Grrrrrr, it better be. Sincerely,
Kevin Siembieda
Publisher, Writer, Game Designer and Waiting to ship Masters!
