Yeow. Just when I thought things could not get wilder at Palladium Books, they do.

Tidbits from behind the scenes: All kinds of stuff is going on behind the scenes at Palladium. I have been so busy that I feel like I have been teleported from Monday to Thursday.

New licenses and opportunities. It is all very exciting stuff, though I cannot discuss much of it at this stage. I can tell you that two of them are potential licensing deals, one of which has incredible potential and will be something that will surprise and thrill everyone. “If” it pans out. The other would be cool, fun and nice, but after spending a lot of time on it, I’m not sure it’s going to pan out.

Palladium’s plans to create comic books are also slowly moving along and there have been rumblings from the West Coast.

Could Rifts® Miniatures be returning? Thanks to some behind the scenes activity by Carmen Bellaire, the answer may be yes. Palladium might be in a position to bring back select “out of print” miniatures like the Glitter Boy, Coalition Soldiers and Juicers. Feasibility and details are still being hammered out. There has even been some talk about possibly doing a miniatures game for Rifts®, but if it happens at all, it is quite a ways off.
