Mini-Update - April 26, 2011

Rifts® Japan and Rifts® Lone Star™ are ready to ship

Both out of print books arrived Monday afternoon and are available now.

Rifts® Thundercloud Galaxy™ is on its way.

I just spoke to my printer and Thundercloud Galaxy™ was finished and boxed yesterday afternoon. It ships to Palladium today, and is estimated to arrive sometime around noon. Thundercloud was supposed to arrive Monday, but the printer couldn’t squeeze it out in time to deliver it too. Besides, we want quality, not a rushed job, so a day’s delay is no big deal.

As I’ve stated before, Thundercloud Galaxy™ is an awesome book filled with equipment, aliens and creatures you can drop into any campaign from Rifts® and Phase World® to Heroes Unlimited and Palladium Fantasy®. It is also packed with more than a hundred ideas for adventures that can also be easily adjusted to fit your campaign and most world settings. I know, because I wrote the 101 Adventures in the Ancient Ruins section, and there are many more adventure ideas throughout the book. Heck, the very premise of Thundercloud Galaxy™ is adventure. Take a peek and you’ll see what we mean.

Online Sales have improved but remain soft. We need improving sales to stay on track. If you’ve been waiting to hear Thundercloud Galaxy™ is “ready to ship” before placing your order: It’s ready. When you get the book and like it (I know you will), talk about it. Let others know what you think.

I’ve been working on Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms and assigned some additional art for it. I think that's it for new art, now it's the down and dirty work of writing it full swing. I can hardly wait.

I’ve also been coordinating a dozen projects with the artists and writers involved. When I’m not trying to write content for the new website (going live in the next 7-14 days) or trying to work on Vampire Kingdoms or review outlines for new books or manuscripts, I’m on the phone or in meetings. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE it. The energy is electric. I love that I have writers and artists calling, emailing and keeping on me to keep everything moving forward. I am so excited about this year it's unbelievable.

We are rockin’ and rollin’! To see more about our plans, see the last Weekly Update, April 21, 2011.
