Here are what just a few happy customers have had to say in their Surprise Package Comments:

J.J. in Stuarts Draft, Virginia, writes: You cannot go wrong with a great big box of Rifts!

[That’s for sure, J.J., or a big box of Palladium Fantasy or Heroes Unlimited, or After the Bomb®, or Nightbane®, or Dead Reign®, or Chaos Earth®, or ... Heck, any combination is great fun. – Kevin]

 

B.H. in Pardeeville, Wisconsin, writes: Just keep doing cool stuff.

[We will, B.H., we promise. – Kevin]

 

T.G. in Kirkland, Washington, writes: Thanks to Kevin and everyone for making a great game [Rifts] that has filled the past three decades of my life with wonder and adventure. Here’s to three decades more to come!

[Amen, T.G. That’s the plan. And not just for Rifts® – Kevin]

 

E.C. in Wausau, Wisconsin, writes (in part): Thank you, Kevin and crew, for continuing to be part of my life and for facilitating rich memories with my family and friends over the decades. I excitedly look forward to Creature Feature ... Happy holidays to you and yours. Peace.

Here’s a glimpse of some of what you can expect: Titan Robotics as a softcover book, hardcover (color cover), a signed foil Gold Edition hardcover, PDF version, Savage Worlds rules conversion PDF, an Archie Three inspired poker deck, prints, and, believe it or not, more!

We will be writing it together, so Sean and I can insure it is every bit as good as the first one. See my Closing Thoughts for more about Bestiary 2, production, and product releases.

 

Christmas Grab Bags

Christmas Surprise Package Offer – now shipping

Yep, it is Surprise Package time again. Shipping now. And God knows this year has been so crazy, we need something fun like the Christmas Surprise Package to bring a little joy and laughter into our lives. With so many people suffering from rising prices, money issues, frustration, and post-Covid-19 related doldrums, they need to escape into realms of role-playing adventure. Not to mention the huge savings and fun autographs available via these Christmas Surprise Packages. Start sending those orders in, we’re ready for you.

What is a Christmas Surprise Package?

A smile and a hug that comes in a box filled with signed game books from available Palladium staff and freelancers. It’s a way for you to get physical books (and autographs if you want them) for PDF prices! $95-$105+ worth of Palladium products for only $58 (plus shipping)! That can nab you four or more items when these days one core rule book can cost you that alone.

These Christmas Surprise Packages are our way of saying thank you for your support and showing you our love and appreciation. It’s a surprise because you never know exactly what you’re going to get or who will sign your books, because we pick from your Wish List and may surprise you with stuff you are not expecting. Extra items may include other RPGs, sourcebooks, issues of the Rifter®, novels, miniatures, prints, art books, greeting cards, T-shirts, negatives, and other items. Some books may be slightly damaged (scuffs, scratches, dings, a bent or crunched corner, etc.) so we can send you more.

No other RPG company on the planet has an offer like this. Truly the best deal in gaming, the Palladium 25th Annual Christmas Surprise Package gets you $95-$105, sometimes MORE, worth of product for ONLY $58 (plus shipping), as gifts for others or for yourself. That’s like getting physical books at PDF prices, plus autographs if you want ‘em.

Christmas Surprise Packages are not just for Christmas. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you are looking for that special gift for a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or any special occasion that falls between now and the end of the year, a Surprise Package may be the ideal way to go. You get a ton of stuff on the cheap, you can get a bunch of autographs (if you want ‘em), and you look like you spent a fortune.

This is also a great way to try that game setting you’ve wondered about – Splicers®, Dead Reign®, Chaos Earth®, Palladium Fantasy®, Nightbane®, Mechanoid Invasion®, Rifts®, After the Bomb®, etc. – or to get something for your favorite Game Master. Or perhaps, to get your player group to consider a new game or setting.

Your “Wish List” is vital – the Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving. To do this, you submit a list of 10-15 Palladium products (or more) FOR EACH Surprise Package you order. This list of 10-15 items for EACH Grab Bag is critical, because you will not know which items we will select to send you. That makes it just like a Christmas gift because it’s a surprise. Plus, Santa Kevin, who personally hand-picks every item for every Grab Bag, may toss in something extra like a limited edition print, or a negative or similar collector’s item, or an issue of The Rifter®, or something else he thinks you’ll enjoy.

Autographed books. For those of you who want them (which are most people), available members of the Palladium staff, and any freelancers we can lasso at the time, are happy to autograph each and every book in your Surprise Package. This is the only way many fans across the country and overseas can ever get signed books.

Send us your brief comments. There is a special form and format to fill out for Christmas Surprise Packages, including a place where you can offer your brief comments, suggestions, greetings and salutations.

First-timers are always nervous until they see the great value in their first Surprise Package. A typical Grab Bag has $100+ worth of product. Yes, often more for only $58 plus shipping. Many people order 2-3. Some order 4-6, and some maniacs order even more! It makes sense, because it is a great way to fill holes in your own collection, treat yourself, get autographs, try new games and settings, rebuild your collection, replace worn out books, and get your gaming pals gifts. PLEASE spread the word about this great offer.

To those of you outside the USA, the X-Mas Surprise Package is a way to get books and circumvent the damn high cost of shipping from the United States, since you are getting $95-105 (often more) worth of product and only paying $58 plus shipping. Shipping via Priority Mail International (required for packages weighing more than four pounds) to most locations in Europe, Canada and many other countries is around $70-80 US dollars. HOWEVER, because the cost of the product is so low, that’s the equivalent of paying retail for the products and only $2-$30 for shipping. A very good deal. Plus you get autographs if you want them! X-Mas Surprise Packages are the way to go for those of you outside the USA. Please take advantage of it to get all those products you’ve wished you could get except the shipping was too prohibitive. We feel your pain. Game on!

Please spread the word. The Christmas Surprise Package is only publicized by word of mouth, on Palladium's website, and social media, so please tell everyone you know. Buy one for every gamer you know. They make astonishing gifts for every occasion.

Palladium Books® Check List of “Recent Releases” – all available now

To quote a fan, because he nailed it with his comments about recent releases: “The new Rifter® Annual #85 was AMAZING, Lopan is INCREDIBLE, and I'm on the last pages of Land of the South Winds™ (and don't think I didn't see the Erin Tarn/Winslow references in there!). Loving every minute of it.

Creature Feature

Creature Feature, a Beyond the Supernatural sourcebook – November

Like Frankenstein’s monster, some books take on a life of their own. That has been the case with Creature Feature. The monster descriptions are bigger and better, and in some cases, completely rewritten. Each offers ideas for adventures, the horror is amped up, the creatures are more terrifying or insidious, the artwork moody and dynamic, and the Game Master advice section will help you build your own adventures. This is going to be another fun adventure sourcebook you’ll get a lot of mileage out of. There is a ton of new material and information useful to both Game Masters and players.

  • A gallery of supernatural creatures. Some new. Some familiar. All updated and expanded. All terrifying.
  • New background and setting information for the BTS RPG.

Christmas Surprise Package at palladium-store.com

No other game company offers game worlds for so many different genres. Best of all, learn and play one Palladium RPG and you can play them all, because each uses the same basic core rules and combat. There are differences, but the fundamentals are the same. This also means you can bring characters, villains, monsters, powers, magic, weapons, gear, and adventure ideas from one setting into another or mash them together!

DriveThruRPG offers most of our 300+ Palladium RPG titles as PDF books, making it easy and inexpensive to try out one of our many games. Also check out the FREE Sneak Previews of Rifts® Coalition Manhunters, Northern Gun 1 & 2, Hell Followed, and select other titles.

- Rifts® titles. Rifts® is the ultimate setting in which you can combine any number of genres and play any style of gaming you may desire: science fiction, fantasy, supernatural horror, heroic adventure, dimensional travel, modern knights, cyborgs, giant robots, dinosaur taming, sleuthing, magic, monsters, heroes and legends. Or combine them all. There has never been a game quite like Rifts®.

- Rifts® Chaos Earth® titles. Live through the Great Cataclysm and the Coming of the Rifts. Rifts® Chaos Earth® RPG, Creatures of Chaos™, Rise of Magic™, and Chaos Earth® Resurrection™ are all available.

- The Rifter® #1-85. Each issue is a wealth of source material and ideas for Rifts® and 3-5 other Palladium game settings. Most are easily adapted to ANY Palladium game setting. Each issue is a gem. 8,500 pages of source material and ideas for heroes, villains, monsters, magic, gear, and adventure. Many issues are sold out and only available in digital form.

- Palladium Fantasy RPG® titles. This is a rich, original setting in which you can play humans or any number of nonhuman species of people in a world of magic, heroes and wonder. A world with 100,000 years of history. Some of it quite dark. All of it epic.

- Dead Reign® RPG and sourcebooks. The Zombie Apocalypse unleashed. Play ordinary people or post-apocalyptic O.C.C.s or Masked Lunatic heroes. A great introductory RPG that is surprisingly uplifting, fun, fast, and easy to learn.

- Heroes Unlimited™ RPG Second Edition titles. Create any type of superhuman you can imagine to build your own super-hero universe or those of your favorite comic books. Heroes Unlimited™ RPG first edition rule book and sourcebooks too.

- After the Bomb® RPG and sourcebooks. Create and play anthropomorphic, intelligent, mutant animals in a comic book world of crime-fighting mutants and super-heroes, or in a crumbling post-apocalyptic Earth where humans teeter on the edge of extinction and mutant animals are becoming the noble survivors to inherit our world.

- Ninjas & Superspies™ RPG and the Mystic China™ sourcebook by Erick Wujcik. Think James Bond meets Enter the Dragon. 41 types of martial arts, ninjas, and super-spies with gadgets, gizmos and advanced weapons.

- Nightbane® RPG and sourcebooks. You are the monsters ... and the heroes. Embark on a quest of self-discovery and empowerment while locked in a secret war against the Nightlords and their demonic and human minions. Monsters only you, the Nightbane, can see, but only when you transform into your inhuman Morphus. A supernatural and monstrous alter-ego that can see the invading monsters and possesses the power to destroy them. That’s why the Night Princes have been assigned to hunt down and either turn or destroy every last one of the Nightbane. Trust no one. Even your parents, teachers, or friends might be wicked Dopplegangers in league with the Nightlords.

- Beyond the Supernatural™ RPG and sourcebooks. Your first step into the realm of modern horror. The RPG provides 14 character classes and 42 occupations for “ordinary people,” 100+ psychic abilities, 16 monsters, the Lazlo Agency, world setting and rules.

- The Mechanoid Invasion® Trilogy RPG is a long time, cult favorite with a fatalistic worldview of humans vs aliens with superior technology.

- Splicers® RPG is like Iron Man meets Game of Thrones with elements of Terminator – except this army of Iron Men are clad in living body armor and wield living, organic weapons and devices. Created in 2004 by writer and game designer Carmen Bellaire, Splicers® was nominated for an Inquest Gamer Magazine Fan Awards Game of the Year, and has since developed a rabid fan base. Science fiction and horror where humans are forced to use genetically engineered, living weapons and organic war machines to battle an insane Artificial Intelligence and her robot legions. Unlike anything you have ever played before!

- Systems Failure RPG. A one-shot post-apocalyptic setting where humans fight and hide from enslaving alien invaders known as “The Bugs.”

- The Palladium Ancient Weapons Series of real world weapons, armor and castles throughout history. Designed for use with ANY game system.

- RECON® Deluxe & Revised – by Erick Wujcik and others. Vietnam era RPG and more.

- Erick Wujcik’s “Lost first RPG” Sector 57. It is Erick Wujcik’s very first RPG (1980, self-published) – a tournament game, actually. I played it way back when with Erick and it was fun. I think you will enjoy it, and it is a fun piece of history. ALL proceeds go directly to the Wujcik estate and probably toward the education of Erick’s beloved grandchild, Tristan. As most of you know, Erick would go on to write the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness RPG, Ninjas & Superspies RPG, Amber Diceless, and contribute to a number of other RPGs and sourcebooks.

- 300+ Palladium titles in all, plus G.M. kits, paper miniatures and more. Palladium Books has settings for every genre: Fantasy RPG, science fiction (Rifts®, Splicers®, and The Mechanoids®), super-heroes (Heroes Unlimited and After the Bomb), superhero horror (Nightbane®), modern horror (Dead Reign® and Beyond the Supernatural), plus The Rifter® sourcebook series (by fans like you), novels, paper minis, and more. And more to come in the weeks ahead.

 

Palladium Collectibles, one-of-a-kind Negatives, original artwork, other collectibles and toys are always available in Kevin’s Online Toy & Collectibles eBay Store along with other good things

My eBay store is one of the few places where you can find original artwork by me (Kevin Siembieda), Kevin Long, Charles Walton, and others, as well as one-of-a-kind negatives from classic Rifts® and other Palladium RPG books (they look awesome framed!), rare Palladium collector hardcovers, signed books, one-of-a-kind proofreader copies, other Palladium memorabilia, as well as toys and other collectibles from my personal collection. Yeah, I used to be a crazy toy and art collector. Alex and I will try to post new items on a regular basis, so check in every few weeks to see what’s new.

Other one-of-a-kind original artwork available by me (Kevin Siembieda), Kevin Long, Charles Walton II and other artists, as well as collectible negatives, prints, limited edition hardcovers, proofreader copies, out of print items, Star Wars toys, Marvel toys and many other toys and collectibles from my personal collection. Alex and I will keep adding items as our busy schedules allow, but we have a lot of fun collectibles available now and coming soon. Hundreds of items. Take a look every weekend for new additions.

Available now: One-of-a-kind book negatives. Negatives are always very popular items at the Palladium Open House and Gen Con. Truly unique, attractive, and fun.

Negatives are unique and attractive, one-of-a-kind (on rare occasions two-of-a-kind if a page or section of pages were replaced or a second edition was made) works of art that resemble woodcut art and are very dynamic conversation pieces. Before digital printing, pages of a book were laid out by hand on a board, and each page was photographed. The plastic film negatives were then “ganged” on a massive sheet of Mylar 16 pages per big sheet, and the printing plates were made from the negatives – everything white, printing black.

When our printer, McNaughton and Gunn was going to discard them, Palladium acquired many (not all) of the old negatives. I am only keeping a few books for myself and make majority of the rest available to you. I sign each negative in silver and each comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The negative comes on a white board inside a plastic magazine bag and looks fabulous framed! Fits in an 8x10 inch matt opening in a frame (each neg is roughly 8½ x 11 inches). But don’t miss the other collectibles as well.

NEW! Cozy Caverns Mysteries – Beyond the Supernatural RPG adventure podcast from the whiz kids at www.realplaygamespod.com – now through the end of the year

Here are the descriptions and schedule for the Cozy Caverns Mysteries podcast inspired by Beyond the Supernatural, 2nd Edition.

Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 1 – Welcome to Cozy Caverns – Jasmine “Jazz” D’Amore and Jordan “Dani” D’Amore are two sisters in their early thirties struggling to find love, job fulfillment, and money to pay the bills on time. When the loss of an estranged family member changes their circumstances, the sisters change their location, and discover the quirky, mysterious town of Cozy Caverns, Arizona and its inhabitants. All is not as it seems.

Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 2 – Supporting Local Businesses – Following Dani’s weird dream from the night before and Jazz’s unusually invigorating morning run, the D’Amore sisters hit the town of Cozy Caverns for a day of shopping and relaxation! After narrowly avoiding one hunky close encounter and picking up some reading material, the gals do lunch and then hit the library. There Dani’s jaw hits the floor and Jazz’s personal self-restraint is pushed to its limits. The excitement dies down a little bit around nighttime, but an explosive late-night confession throws everything the sisters know, or thought they knew, into chaos.

Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 3 – Rough Night – Dani has a another dream that leads to unexpected revelations and ramifications, while Jazz’s jog leads to a terrifying situation! There aren’t any romantic parts in this one and you’re not meeting any hunks, we can assure you of that! Suspicious behavior abounds regarding people in authority, and secrets slowly begin to reveal themselves. At least you can count on Milena’s cooking over at the Prickly Pear!

Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 4 – Deep Dives and Love Lives – It’s an incredibly full day for the D’Amore sisters during the annual Cactus Festival! Dani’s experiences prompt Jazz to have the both of them do more digging into the weirdness that seems to surround Cozy Caverns. The two uncover vital information.

- New! September 9 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 5 – D. Frisbee and the Curious Case in the Caves – The D'Amore sisters are certainly keeping busy on their trip! A meeting with D. Frisbee reveals a whole glut of information about some of the stranger goings-on that have taken place within bucolic Cozy Caverns. Meanwhile, a mine tour with ol' Tom goes south fast. It happens when Dani discovers something she really wishes she hadn't in the cool caverns below the little town with the most warmth!

- New! September 23 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 6 – A Bumpy Pre-Date Afternoon – With their dates fast approaching, Jazz and Dani are digging up as much information as possible, but will a freak-out underground spell disaster for a promising evening? Or will the D'Amore sisters take their lumps as they come and try to make the best out of a sticky situation?

- New! October 7 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 7 – The Only Good Part was the Sushi – One sister's date goes badly, but it's fun to watch that train wreck happen in real time. The other's goes well, maybe too well. Things get really dramatic after the dates, to the point where the sisters find themselves repeatedly menaced by a shadowy figure that's been stalking their trail! Don't miss the bone-crushing excitement!

Coming ...

- October 21 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 8 – The Reek of Burnt Motor Oil – A sudden manifestation of potent supernatural abilities puts the sisters back on the right foot, at least for the time being. The two join forces to attack the ancient alien foe who has been stalking them throughout the caverns. They have put almost all of the pieces of the puzzle together, but now they need something even more important than the truth: A plan!

- November 4 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 9 Finale – Ghost Bashers – This one is for all the marbles! The sisters gather as much equipment as they can and head out to the old mine shaft for their confrontation with their evil spectral enemy! Dark things are revealed. Will the D'Amore sisters get devoured by the darkness beneath the Earth, or will they drag the vileness monster into the light? Don't miss the explosive finale!

- November 18 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries “Bonus” Episode – Cozy After Dark – This is the one where we kick back, stop worrying so much about what's happening in the adventure (since it's over!) and talk about how we created the characters, the setting, adapting an adventure published in 1990 to a 2022 context, cultural issues in portrayal that specifically involve the US Southwest, and give a bunch of information about what we were thinking and feeling as the adventure was going on.

More to come. You can expect a new Heroes Unlimited Christmas podcast special in December, and more episodes of their popular After the Bomb®: Purrsuit of Knowledge™ (mutant animals) series in 2023, as well as a Road Hogs mini-adventure, and could there be a Palladium Fantasy podcast coming? I think there might. We are happy to see more gamers finding these fun podcasts based on Palladium RPG worlds almost as much as we love seeing Palladium fans getting creative and having fun. Spread the word and enjoy.

 

Closing Thoughts – Rifts® Bestiary 2

I’ve heard from a few folks who seem to think Rifts® Bestiary Volume 2 is forgotten or low priority. I can assure you neither is true. As I have been saying, Bestiary Volume 2 is the next big project Sean and I will be working on together as soon as Titan Robotics is done.

Look, when life dumps a truckload of lemons on your head, you can cry or you can make lemonade. Here at Palladium we’ve been swimming in lemonade. First, there was Covid which had practically shut Palladium down for most of 2020. For many months I was the only person at the office and warehouse every day keeping things going; getting a little help wherever I could get it. By the way, you were a big help with your online orders, but that was most of one year lost to the pandemic.

2021 was a different kind of weirdness with Covid still looming, unprecedented supply chain issues, long printing delays, and other new, unexpected challenges. Ah, but 2021 also offered some astonishing opportunities and I seized the day! Even though it put book production in hiatus for months and months, I knew the rare opportunities falling into Palladium’s lap would make the company strong in the long run. I had to do it and I’m glad I did.

I had already been mapping the reorganization of Palladium Books when two big opportunities appeared, 1) I had the chance to bring Sean Owen Roberson on board as my business partner, and 2) an invitation only business opportunity appeared out of nowhere. I was thrilled to snag them both. The timing was fortuitous as Sean arrived to Michigan the first day of the business program.

We hit the ground running. The last four months of 2021 were great and mind numbing at the same time as both placed huge demands on my time. Sean had to learn the ropes and we engaged in countless hours of discussion about how to move the company forward on every front. On top of that, we were dealing with pandemic weirdness and October thru December is our busy season with Christmas Surprise Packages. I have never worked harder and longer hours than I did those months. It was insane and exhausting yet thrilling and mind expanding at the same time. Both events could not have been timed better. Both will make Palladium better, stronger, and more efficient. And they are just two incidents. There were many smaller scale incidents that also felt like the hand of Fate guiding Palladium through turbulent waters and setting us up for success and a grand future.

We were off to a great start. Then, more lemons. Just before Christmas, Sean caught the ugly Covid Delta variant. Long-haul Covid as it turned out. It knocked him out of commission for the next four months! We didn’t say anything publicly since we didn’t want to scare you, there was nothing any of you could have done, and for the first 6-8 weeks we didn’t know ourselves. It was what it was and we had to ride it out. Sean says he has never been that sick and low energy in his life. He could barely get out of bed and had to stay with family. We wouldn’t see him again until a week or so before the Palladium Open House! And it would take him another four months before he was 100%. But you know what? You roll with the punches, you stay positive, you pivot, and do what you can. He still managed to finish The Rifter® #85 and has been working with me on projects since.

One of those pivots was to release core RPG titles as Hardcovers throughout 2021. That felt like Fate at work because first, I had listened to you and knew that many of you would like to see our RPGs as hardcovers. Second, a few months later, a company specializing in hardcover book printing falls into our lap. Third, it didn’t require much work to reformat them and release them. Fate.

I’m telling you all of this because we are unstoppable! We managed to pull off the 2022 Palladium Open House, released The Rifter® #85, Rifts® Manhunters®, a couple of Fantasy Raw Editions, and a few small products like art prints, the notepads, pens, and pencils. We also squeezed in Gen Con and the Alliance Trade Show (our #1 distributor), and now we have two big new releases coming your way. All things considered, not too bad. These products helped to keep Palladium going, and the events have provided invaluable insight and data for our plans and more opportunities! That’s resolve. And Fate.

If we knew what we know now, we probably wouldn’t have chosen to put Rifts® Titan Robotics and the BTS Creature Feature sourcebook ahead of Bestiary Volume 2. At the time it seemed like a good idea. We thought they would be quick, easy books to finish and get to the printer. Two releases for you while we work on the bigger, more demanding Bestiary Volume 2. They were not. Don’t get me wrong, they are both excellent books that you are going to love, but for one reason or another, they both turned into time consuming beasts.

What you don’t see is the groundwork we are laying behind the scenes to make Palladium stronger and more efficient than ever before. That takes time and hard work too. Sean and I are formulating battle plans and setting budgets, we’ve been doing our research, gathering talent, putting a number of plans in place, and cultivating the production of future products. That last part is in addition to making sure we release many of the titles you have been waiting for. And meanwhile Sean is still spearheading production of the Savage Rifts® line of books. It’s worth any product delays in the short term because it is laying a strong foundation for great things in the future. You should start to see the fruits of our labor throughout next year, as products continue to roll out in a steady stream. Hey, they didn’t build Rome in a day. It takes time to build something, especially when you are shooting for the stars.

We are not providing you details or release dates for all these plans and products because we are following your lead. Yes, you, our fans and customers. You told us how our announcing products way too soon and then suffering product delays was increasingly aggravating and disappointing. You asked us not to talk about our plans and new releases until they are ready to launch. So that’s what we’re doing. We’re trying not to disappoint you in case there are unexpected delays or something falls through. And these days there always seems to be some sort of delay. We are trying to wait until we are 100% certain we can make them a reality.

You already know BTS Creature Feature ships in November (barring delays at the printer), Titan Robotics is nearing completion and its Kickstarter will launch very soon. The next project for me and Sean is Rifts® Bestiary 2. Will some titles see release before it? Yes, Creature Feature and Titan Robotics for sure. Probably The Rifter® #86 and maybe a couple other books completed by freelancers. But none of that affects the writing of Bestiary 2. We are putting two of our best writers on it: me and Sean. I hope you appreciate that. Those of you who pre-ordered Bestiary 2 and especially those of you who participated in our Megaverse Insider event deserve the best. And we intend to give it you. We are pumped up about Palladium’s future and hope you are too.

In the meantime, take advantage of the Halloween DriveThru Sale and the Palladium “Christmas” Surprise Package Offer – both are available now. Use the PDF Halloween Sale to snap up horror titles. Use the Surprise Package offer to get signed books and grab up recent Palladium titles like Rifts® Coalition Manhunters, The Rifter® #85, Lopan and Land of the South Winds Raw Previews, and the many other books you have been meaning to get. Remember, these Grab Bags are a great way to try new settings and replace lost and dog-eared books. And of course, it’s also a way to get gifts for the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Gifts you know your favorite gamer will love.

The Titan Robotics Kickstarter will launch soon and Creature Feature is coming next month, with more new releases to follow. Sounds like good cheer to me.

Lopan Raw Preview

NEW! Lopan (Fantasy) Raw Preview Edition – Collector’s item – Available now

Get your first glimpse of Lopan with the Lopan™ Raw Preview Edition. Lopan is the often overlooked gem of the North. Nestled in the middle of the inland sea, it is near the center of the known world, yet Lopan is isolated from much of the rest of the world’s nations. This has kept it a calm, peaceful domain largely free from war and conflict. The creation and clever marketing of the (Olympic-like) Lopanic Games and the Garden of the Gods have brought Lopan international notoriety and increased trade from the rest of the civilized world.

Like the rest of the Palladium World, Lopan has a long, rich history, much of it forgotten. A history which harbors ancient secrets and forgotten magicks, such as Mosaic Magic. Meanwhile, though it seems grand, its future is not entirely certain. As a home to Elvenkind, these long-lived people, alone, bring with them a checkered past and a certain amount of drama that can be good or bad for Lopan’s future.

Glen Evans’ Lopan world book explores the present politics, people, and places, as well as a few of its secrets and history. Lopan is a safe environment where visitors do not have to worry about war, throngs of thieves and cutthroats, or monsters. That makes it a resource and staging ground for expeditions into any of the many lands around the island nation. Lopan serves as a place for adventurers and mercenaries to resupply, sell and trade treasure and loot, buy weapons and gear, acquire magic, find clues and information about new quests, and rest in between missions. Of course, the Lopanic Games offer the chance for fame and riches, while the Garden of the Gods may provide inspiration, visions, quests, and just causes to champion.

  • Your first glimpse of Lopan in its “raw” manuscript form.
  • Kingdom of Lopan overview and notable history.
  • Key cities and places.
  • New character classes.
  • Notable people.
  • New Mosaic Magic.
  • Magic items and gear.
  • Many paths to adventure and ideas for more.
  • Only 350 copies of this limited collector’s item are available.
  • Sold on a first come, first served basis, while supplies last.
  • Written by Glen Evans.
  • 184 pages – $28.99 retail – Cat. No. 476-RAW – Available now.
  • What is a Raw Preview Edition? It is the unfinished, unedited, advance manuscript subject to rewrites and expansion. It gets a limited print run of around 200-350 copies and is fun for collectors to have something rare and unique, and is especially handy for writers and game designers (and curious gamers) because they get a glimpse into the development process at Palladium when they compare what is in the Raw Preview and what sees print in the final book, what gets expanded, dropped out, etc. In this case, writer Glen Evans has presented an overview of Lopan based on conversations and notes from Kevin Siembieda. Kevin will be tweaking and adding material to make the final book even more compelling and full of adventure hooks. And of course, this is the perfect companion for Garden of the Gods and if all goes well, it should be followed by a sourcebook about the fabled Lopanic Games (and how your characters can participate in them).

From its farmland to its dense coastal cities, the region is infested with Ratlings, jungle people, death cults, jungle cults, strange religions, believers in forgotten and ancient gods, dark magic, foreign spies, smugglers, pirates, mercenaries, thieves, assassins, nonhumans, adventurers, and fortune seekers of every type. Political corruption abounds and intrigue and opportunity of all sorts, there and abroad, are available for those bold (or foolish) enough to seize the moment. In short, it is a great place for adventure!

  • Your first glimpse of the Land of the South Winds in its “raw” manuscript form before it is split into two books.

This manuscript is likely to be split into 2-3 books with additional material by Kevin and another writer. All of it filled with even more mystery and intrigue and adventure opportunities than you see here. The Raw Preview is 224 pages all by itself.

Sharpshooting variety. This section draws upon all of your character’s selection of skills and abilities and even offers customization from odd O.C.C. or racial abilities.
  • Automated Psionics: All psionics from Rifts® Ultimate Edition, Rifts® World Book 12: Psyscape™ and Rifts® World Book 32: Lemuria can be selected from a dropdown menu that then populates tables with the information on psionics for your character. Each psionic ability’s data including damage, M.D.C. and range also automatically increases based on the character’s level of experience.
  • Automated Spells: All Common Invocations, Necromancy, Ocean Magic and Biomancy spells (yes, all the Lemurian Biomancer spells too!) can be selected from a dropdown menu that then populates tables with the information on spells for your character. Each spell’s data including damage, M.D.C. and range also automatically increases based on the character’s level of experience.
  • Automated Skills: All skills from the Rifts® Ultimate Edition, Rifts® World Book 25: China 2 – Heroes of the Celestial Court™ and Rifts® World Book 32: Lemuria can be selected and then automatically add bonuses from prerequisites and related skills. Physical skills that provide bonuses also add those bonuses directly to attributes and combat stats. Bonuses that require dice rolls are denoted and can then be manually rolled and added to the character sheet. Custom percent bonuses such as O.C.C. bonuses can also be added to individual skills.
  • Automated Cybernetics & Bionics: All cybernetics and bionics from Rifts® Ultimate Edition along with some favorites from other books can be selected from dropdown menus which then tabulate bonuses and add them to your combat stats. Prices also sum up so an enterprising Headhunter can keep track of his hardware and upgrades. Simple cybernetic body part diagrams even allow players to allocate the locations of their various cybernetic and bionic components.
  • Freeform O.C.C. and Racial Power Section: A section for non-standard powers, special O.C.C. or racial abilities allows the player to add custom skills and powers that can be linked to those features to draw upon the character’s level of experience, I.Q. bonus or other stats so powers grow as the character advances.
  • Character Building Section: On the main page of the document is a section to help you build your character, from customizing attributes, to adding non-standard bonuses from O.C.C. or racial abilities, to an optional point buy system for attributes.
  • Helpful Hints and Suggestions: Red triangular tabs appear throughout the document. Hovering over the red tab with the mouse cursor will reveal useful data from sourcebooks, hints, suggestions and other information, such as what a particular stat means, how it’s used in the game and what things can add bonuses or affect it. There is also a page with overview instructions on how to use the sheet, and a number of instructional videos will be posted via Palladium TV on the ins and outs of the character sheet. The first can be found here: http://youtu.be/a89XzAV37sE
  • Portrait: A special sheet is set up so you can add an image to the document for a custom portrait for your character. That image is then displayed on the main page and is protected from accidental movement or deletion from the main page.
  • Password Protected: Several pages of the document are password protected so players won’t accidently delete formulas and ruin the character sheet’s automated features. The password is provided so players can customize the sheet to their liking then protect the sheet again so they don’t undo all their hard work.
  • Note: The file is best used in Microsoft EXCEL 2016 or above. Some data may be lost if not using Microsoft EXCEL, such as when using similar products like Open Office.
  • Available from PalladiumBooks.com AND DriveThruRPG.com – make them characters!

2022 Christmas Surprise Package – Available now till December 24, 2022

2022 Christmas Surprise Package – Available now till December 24, 2022

No other RPG company on the planet has an offer like this. Truly the best deal in gaming, it started 24 years ago and has become an annual tradition. The Palladium Christmas Surprise Package is our way of saying thank you for your support and helping to make your Christmas a little more fun and special.

We have thrilled fans with what they receive every single year, and this year will be no exception.

 

What is a Palladium Christmas Surprise Package?

* A fun bargain, autographs, and surprises for you.

* $95-$105 (sometimes more) worth of Palladium Books products for only $58 plus shipping, plus autographs if you request them. You are guaranteed to get an absolute minimum of ninety-five dollars ($95) retail value in your Surprise Package. Often you get $98-$105 and sometimes more! Surrogate Santa Kevin likes to make gamers squeal with delight and often packs in $100+ worth of goodies into many Surprise Packages.

* We always try to make each Grab Bag/Surprise Package truly special. Those of you who have ordered in the past know what to expect.

* If you’ve never ordered a Surprise Package before, give it a try early, because you’ll be blown away and probably want to order a few more! It happens all the time. We love putting smiles on your faces.

* Surprise Packages are fun and a great way to get holiday presents on the cheap for your gaming pals, or to fill holes in your collection, or try new games and settings, or to treat yourself.

* They’re also our gift to you. Our way of saying thank you and delivering a little holiday cheer to our loyal fans. An expression of appreciation and joy from us to you.

* It’s a surprise package because you never know exactly what you’re going to get or who will sign your books. We try to include many of the items on your “Wish List,” but we may surprise you with stuff you are not expecting. Things like an issue of The Rifter®, a Palladium RPG or sourcebook(s), miniatures, a one-of-a-kind negative, art prints, note pads, or other item(s) we think you might enjoy.

* Ask for RPGs, sourcebooks, hardcover editions, and other items like miniatures, T-shirts (include your size), greeting cards, bookmarks, an iconic Kevin Siembieda dragonhead sketch, and other products. With few exceptions, if it is available in our online store you can request it for our consideration. We make most selections from your Wish List of 12-15 items so it is vital. Please do not ask for items you know are out of stock, out of print, or not yet available. See important details and ordering tips below.

* All items are “hand-picked” by Kevin Siembieda from YOUR Wish List. ALL with autographs from Kevin and available staff members if you request them. For many of you, this is the only way to get autographs from Palladium’s staff and freelance artists and writers! (And yes, Julius comes in to sign books even though he’s retired).

* When can you order? Right now! We are ready to start shipping now thru December 24, 2022. Ordering sooner than later gives you ample time to avoid the holiday rush and delays in the mail. Better yet, you can order more than one Surprise Package before this offer ends.

 

Please spread the word to gamers everywhere – We are ready to start shipping

The Palladium Christmas Surprise Package is truly awesome and is only publicized by word of mouth, and on Palladium's website – www.palladiumbooks.com – so please tell everyone you know, talk about it on social media, and buy at least one for yourself and one for every gamer you know! Have a joyful holiday season.

 

How to Place your Order

* Cost: $58 US Dollars + shipping to get $95-$105+ worth of Palladium goodies. An absolute minimum of ninety-five dollars ($95) retail in Palladium product, almost always more, especially if you give us a long Wish List. Kevin likes to make gamers smile and blow people’s minds.

* Placing Orders Online is probably the fastest and easiest way to order. Ordering online allows you to select the desired method of shipping. We recommend UPS because it is fast, reliable, and has reliable tracking capabilities. Multiple orders will result in duplication.

You may also order by calling the office with credit card info handy – 734-721-2903 order line – 10:00 AM till 8:00 PM Eastern Time.

Or you may also order by mail with a check or money order, to Palladium Books – Dept. X – 39074 Webb Court – Westland, MI 48185-7606.

* Please include ALL of the following information...

  • Your correct mailing address. Double check it before you submit. Make sure it includes your apartment number. Palladium is not responsible for loss if you give us incorrect shipping information.
  • Your correct credit card information. Please double-check all information. If you recently moved, make sure we have your correct and current address!
  • WISH LIST of 12-15 specific books and/or products like prints, bookmarks, miniatures, T-shirts, etc., that you know are in stock. List only product you want (not what you have or don’t want). Please do not ask for books not yet published or are out of print. See Details on making your Wish List, below.
  • If you do NOT want to be considered for a T-shirt, please write “No T-shirts.” If you DO WANT to be considered for a T-shirt, please make sure to give us your SIZE.
  • Indicate whether you want autographs. Yes or no.
  • Tell us your favorite Palladium games.
  • Tell us Palladium games you have NOT played but want to try.
  • Comments and suggestions. Please keep them brief.

 

* Credit Cards are welcomed: Visa and MasterCard preferred, but most major credit cards are accepted. We are very sorry, Palladium cannot take “Debit Cards” or “gift cards.”

* If you have a question about your order or want to place your order by telephone, call 734-721-2903; this is an order line only.

REMINDER, this is a “Surprise” Package. While Kevin Siembieda and the Palladium staff personally TRY to make each and every Surprise Package special, we cannot guarantee satisfaction. It is a “Grab Bag.” Buyers may not always be satisfied (although we seem to succeed with most). Purchasing multiple Surprise Packages will likely result in multiple duplicate items. If you cannot come up with a Wish Lists of 12+ available items, please do NOT order a Christmas Surprise Package.

Slight Damage: Some books used in the Surprise Packages may show slight damage such as a bent corner, scuffs, nicks, dings, dents, dirt smudge, crushed corner, etc., so we can send you MORE product. Of course, we cannot control damage that may occur in the mail/shipping (Media Mail being the worst in that regard), but we ship everything in a well packed cardboard box or tube. Please let us know if you don’t mind damaged books and we may be able to add even more items to your Grab Bag!

 

Select the Method of Shipping

Media Mail is least expensive (around $10 per Surprise Package), but it is a less reliable and slower, low priority, classification of the USA mail. In 2020 Media Mail packages took 6-12 weeks to be delivered. In 2021 Media Mail was back to the usual 8-18 days during the holiday season. We do not know what 2022 deliveries will be like, but we fear it may be something in between. When shipping via Media Mail we recommend placing holiday gift orders as early as possible to guarantee getting it in time for Christmas. WARNING: Use Media Mail at your own risk. If lost or damaged in transit, Palladium will NOT replace the contents if shipped by Media Mail.

UPS Ground is reliable, insured, and fast. Last year UPS was astonishing, but it is more expensive than Media Mail. UPS Ground packages arrive to ALL states, except Alaska and Hawaii, in 3-5 business days; 2-3 days to locations east of the Mississippi River. UPS cannot ship to a P.O. Box, so please provide a street address.

WARNING 1: Palladium is NOT responsible for loss if you give us an incorrect or incomplete address, or if you MOVE before the Christmas Surprise Package/Grab Bag arrives. The loss is yours. DO NOT FORGET to include your APARTMENT NUMBER! Note: Rare books and one-of-a-kind items like prints and gold editions CANNOT be replaced if lost or damaged in the mail.

WARNING 2: Palladium is NOT responsible for loss or damage when you select Media Mail as your shipping method. We recommend UPS (especially in the USA) or another method of shipping via the United States Postal Service (USPS) like Priority Mail rather than Media Mail, especially if fast delivery time is important. The risk and the loss is 100% YOURS when you ship via Media Mail, and lost packages or damaged items sent via Media Mail WILL NOT be replaced.

Live outside the USA? This is a great way to get books at a good price. The X-Mas Surprise Package is a way to circumvent the high shipping costs from the USA, since you are getting $100+ worth of product and only paying $58 for the books. Shipping via Priority Mail International (required for packages weighing more than four pounds) to most locations in Canada, Europe, and many other countries should be around $70-$80 US dollars. HOWEVER, because the cost of the product is so low, that’s the equivalent of paying full retail for the products and only $1-$30 for shipping. A very good deal. Plus you get autographs if you want them!

X-Mas Surprise Packages are the way to go for those of you outside the USA. Please use it to get all the products you’ve been wanting except the shipping has been prohibitive. Please Note: We feel your pain regarding the high cost of shipping. We are not Amazon. We do not get the massive discounts as that multi-billion dollar company. We only pass along the cost of your chosen shipping method. Plus, we always try to make the orders going to countries outside of North America extra special to make up for the shipping cost. For most of you, this is the only way you’ll ever be able to get autographed books, limited edition prints, artwork or unique items, so we’re happy to have this opportunity to show how much we appreciate you.

 

How to Make Your “Wish List”

The Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the fun, joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving.

* Send a “Wish List” of 12-15 Palladium products (or more) you would like for the holidays, from which Kevin will select $95-$105+ worth of product. Depending on the cost or value of the books selected from your list, that’s typically 4-6 books for only $58 plus shipping.

* List product you know are in stock and available in the online store. Don’t ask for product that is out of print or not yet published, like Rifts® Titan Robotics or Beyond Arcanum. PLEASE give us a long Wish List and fill out the questions. It all helps us make your Surprise Package something you will enjoy.

* We suggest you list product in the order of preference starting with your most wanted. You might even want to number them 1-15.

* List only what you WANT. Do not list books you already have.

* If you do NOT want to be considered for a T-shirt, please write “No T-shirts.” If you DO WANT to be considered for a T-shirt, please make sure to give us your SIZE.

* You can ask for new and recent releases like BTS Creature Feature (not available till November), The Rifter® #85, Rifts® CS Manhunters™, the Lopan™ and South Winds™ Raw Previews, Rifts® 30th Commemorative Hardcover ($60 value), the new T-shirt, miniatures, and so on. Note: Asking for new books not yet available will delay shipping and you may not get your Surprise Package till after Christmas.

* Hardcover Editions will be limited and for the Surprise Package will have a value of $50 rather than the normal retail price of $39.99 or $36.99. Gold and foil editions will carry a $60 value. Only people who request a specific hardcover will be considered to receive one.

* When ordering MULTIPLE Surprise Packages send us a different Wish List for EACH Surprise Package you order. Note: Ordering multiple Surprise Packages are likely to result in some duplication. If you get duplicate items, maybe give them away to your friends, a library or game store, or sell them online. Multiple orders WILL result in some duplication.

* Kev and his elves are NOT mind readers. Please give us a clear idea of your wants or you may be disappointed by what comes in your Surprise Package or you may receive items you already own. You do NOT make our job easier when you say something like “I own everything, surprise me,” or “I don’t care, anything special.” It makes our job much, much more difficult. We want to make each Grab Bag special, but because we don’t know you or what books you own, like, or want, we do not have a clue as to what to send you unless you give us a variety of items on your list.

Please say something like this: “I own it all, but would love any duplicate Fantasy books signed by the Palladium crew.” Or “I have most of it, surprise me with T-shirts or unique items like signed art prints, or a coffee mug, if available,” and so on. BETTER YET, list 12-15 specific items on your wish list for each Grab Bag you order.

* Autographs from Kevin Siembieda, available staff and freelance artists and writers. If you “request” autographs we’ll sign EVERY book in your box! For many, especially those of you across the country and overseas, this is the only way you are likely to get autographs from Siembieda and crew. Take advantage of it. Many people find autographs make the item that much more special and valuable, and we are happy to oblige. There is no charge for this service.

If you do NOT want autographs, please indicate – “No autographs.”

* Dragonhead Sketch by Kevin Siembieda. Kevin is always happy to draw one of his trademark “dragonhead” sketches (each one slightly different) on a separate, 8½ x 11 inch sheet of paper upon request. $20 value. He also randomly includes such a sketch as a surprise in some books at no extra charge. Ho, ho, ho.

* Palladium Books reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute or add products not on your Wish List, such as an issue of The Rifter®, art books, novels, art prints, bookmarks, one-of-a-kind negatives from books (they look like woodcuts), out of print books, gold editions, miniatures, mouse pads, color maps, posters, greeting cards, T-shirts, coffee mugs, baseball caps, pens, pencils, Rifts® note pad, and other items.

* No original art or sketches by other Palladium artists this year. Sorry, there is no artwork available this year, but you can ask for any of our “prints.” Original art is donated by the artists and with more and more of them moving to the digital medium, we have no art to surprise you with this year. We hope you understand.

* We love to hear your comments. And please, feel free to say hello and share your thoughts with us in the Comments Section. But please, keep them brief (not more than half a page).

* DISCLAIMER: This is a “Grab Bag” so do NOT expect to get every item you want. That’s not how the Surprise Package works. If you want specific products guaranteed, do not use the Surprise Package, place a regular order at full retail to get the items you desire. Wish Lists with less than 12 items to select from may be deemed unfulfillable, at Palladium’s sole discretion, and rejected and your money refunded.

 

Reasons to get a Surprise Package

* The Grab Bag makes a wonderful gift for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, weddings, house warmings, and any special occasion for the gamers in your life. Since there will be so much in every Surprise Package, ordering just one might enable you to give books to two or more pals. Of course, you never know what we might select from your list, so that might be a little risky, but if you state your intentions in the comments, we’ll do what we can. And please, feel free to say hello and share your thoughts with us in the Comments Section. But please, keep them brief (not more than half a page).

* Impress and surprise your friends with a gift worth $95-$105 or more for a cost of only $58 plus shipping.

* Fill holes in your own collection or get books and product you’ve been meaning to get or have been eyeballing longingly.

* Replace your worn out books with a crisp new one.

* Try new settings and games.

* Get autographs.

* Fun and surprise. As a “grab bag”/“surprise package” you never know exactly what you will receive, but that’s the fun “surprise” part of this offer. And we always try to send as many of your “special wants” as we can (at least two, almost always more). Extra or alternative items may include other RPG books, The Rifter®, posters, prints, art books, T-shirts, greeting cards, back stock items, uncut covers, negatives, and other items or a surprise or two.

* Rifts® Savage Worlds Gamers, this is your chance to get piles of Rifts® books for world information, monsters, magic and adventure ideas on the cheap. Sorry, Rifts® Savage Worlds books are not available.

Palladium Books® – Weekly Update – October 14, 2022

Weekly Update Opening Graphic

One game system – every genre – countless worlds – endless adventure

By Kevin Siembieda

I’ve been in dynamo-mode for the last week and have been writing like a man possessed, but the big announcement you’ll probably want to know is the Christmas Surprise Package starts today! Read on.

 

UPDATE: BTS Creature Feature™. I guess writing like a man possessed is appropriate considering I’m hard at work wrapping up the Creature Feature sourcebook™ for Beyond the Supernatural™. All I have left to write are the last 27 pages of the book. Wayne is starting on the typesetting today, and then it’s final layout and off to the printer sometime next week. Woo hoo! And it’s a freaking great book. 14 creatures in horrifying detail, more world background, a couple of NPCs, material for players and Game Masters, how to build a better creature, tips on running a horror game, an adventure setting, zillions of adventure hooks, great art, and I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff.

 

UPDATE: Rifts® Titan Robotics™. Sean has been similarly possessed putting in long hours on Rifts® Titan Robotics™, another great book.

 

Titan Robotics Kickstarter is coming. Sean has also been prepping for the Rifts® Titan Robotics™ Kickstarter that should launch in a week or two. Some unexpected related product ideas popped up that we know fans will enjoy. One came to me in a dream! That’s how focused and wound up we are about these two books. I told Sean about the dream and we decided to include that item as an add-on product in the Kickstarter. And then Sean came up with another cool idea for the Kickstarter and we’re gonna include it. Now I can’t wait for it to launch.

 

NEW! Beyond the Supernatural Podcast – New Cozy Cavern Mysteries Episodes are available now with new episodes appearing every two weeks throughout October and November.

 

What else is going on? All kinds of stuff, but for me it has been nothing but nonstop writing and brainstorming for me and Sean. Other than a few hours in the evening spending some time with Kathy and watching TV, I’m writing or brainstorming. I have been focused to the point that I have not been returning correspondences (sorry, folks) and doing little else to get product to the printer. Oh yeah, and that ever popular, annual Christmas Surprise Package starts today. Spread the word about these fun goings on.

 

In fact here are some of the comments from the first two people to order a Surprise Package this year. The offer went live late last night and these two eagles noticed it and snapped up a couple right away.

 

C.R. in Silverton, Oregon, writes, in part: Hey there surrogate Santa, this is my 3rd or 4th year doing this and I am super glad you guys give us this opportunity, as I get to round out my collection with books from my favorite system with each and every Christmas.

[Enjoy, C.R., it is our sincere pleasure. – Kevin]

 

J.M. in Glenns Ferry, Idaho, writes, in part: TMNT was my first Palladium experience but Palladium’s games have been my favorite RPGs my whole life. I even traded my modest collection of Avengers comics to a kid at school for his copy of Ninjas & Superspies RPG, and I never regretted it ... Palladium’s RPGs have the best writing, the best settings and are most exciting. Just reading a Palladium book inspires me with ideas for many of the games I play ... I’m thrilled about Palladium’s future and the many adventures to come.

[Thank you for the kind words, J.M., we’re thrilled about Palladium’s future too. – Kevin]

 

Christmas Grab Bags

Christmas Surprise Package Offer – now shipping

Yep, it is Surprise Package time again. Shipping now. And God knows this year has been so crazy, we need something fun like the Christmas Surprise Package to bring a little joy and laughter into our lives. With so many people suffering from rising prices, money issues, frustration, and post-Covid-19 related doldrums, they need to escape into realms of role-playing adventure. Not to mention the huge savings and fun autographs available via these Christmas Surprise Packages. Start sending those orders in, we’re ready for you.

What is a Christmas Surprise Package?

A smile and a hug that comes in a box filled with signed game books from available Palladium staff and freelancers. It’s a way for you to get physical books (and autographs if you want them) for PDF prices! $95-$105+ worth of Palladium products for only $58 (plus shipping)! That can nab you four or more items when these days one core rule book can cost you that alone.

These Christmas Surprise Packages are our way of saying thank you for your support and showing you our love and appreciation. It’s a surprise because you never know exactly what you’re going to get or who will sign your books, because we pick from your Wish List and may surprise you with stuff you are not expecting. Extra items may include other RPGs, sourcebooks, issues of the Rifter®, novels, miniatures, prints, art books, greeting cards, T-shirts, negatives, and other items. Some books may be slightly damaged (scuffs, scratches, dings, a bent or crunched corner, etc.) so we can send you more.

No other RPG company on the planet has an offer like this. Truly the best deal in gaming, the Palladium 25th Annual Christmas Surprise Package gets you $95-$105, sometimes MORE, worth of product for ONLY $58 (plus shipping), as gifts for others or for yourself. That’s like getting physical books at PDF prices, plus autographs if you want ‘em.

Christmas Surprise Packages are not just for Christmas. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you are looking for that special gift for a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or any special occasion that falls between now and the end of the year, a Surprise Package may be the ideal way to go. You get a ton of stuff on the cheap, you can get a bunch of autographs (if you want ‘em), and you look like you spent a fortune.

This is also a great way to try that game setting you’ve wondered about – Splicers®, Dead Reign®, Chaos Earth®, Palladium Fantasy®, Nightbane®, Mechanoid Invasion®, Rifts®, After the Bomb®, etc. – or to get something for your favorite Game Master. Or perhaps, to get your player group to consider a new game or setting.

Your “Wish List” is vital – the Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving. To do this, you submit a list of 10-15 Palladium products (or more) FOR EACH Surprise Package you order. This list of 10-15 items for EACH Grab Bag is critical, because you will not know which items we will select to send you. That makes it just like a Christmas gift because it’s a surprise. Plus, Santa Kevin, who personally hand-picks every item for every Grab Bag, may toss in something extra like a limited edition print, or a negative or similar collector’s item, or an issue of The Rifter®, or something else he thinks you’ll enjoy.

Autographed books. For those of you who want them (which are most people), available members of the Palladium staff, and any freelancers we can lasso at the time, are happy to autograph each and every book in your Surprise Package. This is the only way many fans across the country and overseas can ever get signed books.

Send us your brief comments. There is a special form and format to fill out for Christmas Surprise Packages, including a place where you can offer your brief comments, suggestions, greetings and salutations.

First-timers are always nervous until they see the great value in their first Surprise Package. A typical Grab Bag has $100+ worth of product. Yes, often more for only $58 plus shipping. Many people order 2-3. Some order 4-6, and some maniacs order even more! It makes sense, because it is a great way to fill holes in your own collection, treat yourself, get autographs, try new games and settings, rebuild your collection, replace worn out books, and get your gaming pals gifts. PLEASE spread the word about this great offer.

To those of you outside the USA, the X-Mas Surprise Package is a way to get books and circumvent the damn high cost of shipping from the United States, since you are getting $95-105 (often more) worth of product and only paying $58 plus shipping. Shipping via Priority Mail International (required for packages weighing more than four pounds) to most locations in Europe, Canada and many other countries is around $70-80 US dollars. HOWEVER, because the cost of the product is so low, that’s the equivalent of paying retail for the products and only $2-$30 for shipping. A very good deal. Plus you get autographs if you want them! X-Mas Surprise Packages are the way to go for those of you outside the USA. Please take advantage of it to get all those products you’ve wished you could get except the shipping was too prohibitive. We feel your pain. Game on!

Please spread the word. The Christmas Surprise Package is only publicized by word of mouth, on Palladium's website, and social media, so please tell everyone you know. Buy one for every gamer you know. They make astonishing gifts for every occasion.

To quote a fan, because he nailed it with his comments about recent releases: “The new Rifter® Annual #85 was AMAZING, Lopan is INCREDIBLE, and I'm on the last pages of Land of the South Winds™ (and don't think I didn't see the Erin Tarn/Winslow references in there!). Loving every minute of it.

Creature Feature

Creature Feature, a Beyond the Supernatural sourcebook – November

Like Frankenstein’s monster, some books take on a life of their own. That has been the case with Creature Feature. The monster descriptions are bigger and better, and in some cases, completely rewritten. Each offers ideas for adventures, the horror is amped up, the creatures are more terrifying or insidious, the artwork moody and dynamic, and the Game Master advice section will help you build your own adventures. This is going to be another fun adventure sourcebook you’ll get a lot of mileage out of. There is a ton of new material and information useful to both Game Masters and players.

  • A gallery of supernatural creatures. Some new. Some familiar. All updated and expanded. All terrifying.
  • New background and setting information for the BTS RPG.
  • More world setting and monster hunting.
  • Adventure location and adventure outlines.
  • Creature encounter tables and tips on making a better creature.

I think you will enjoy it, and it is a fun piece of history. ALL proceeds go directly to the Wujcik estate and probably toward the education of Erick’s beloved grandchild, Tristan. As most of you know, Erick would go on to write the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness RPG, Ninjas & Superspies RPG, Amber Diceless, and contribute to a number of other RPGs and sourcebooks.

Palladium Collectibles, one-of-a-kind Negatives, original artwork, other collectibles and toys are always available in Kevin’s Online Toy & Collectibles eBay Store along with other good things

My eBay store is one of the few places where you can find original artwork by me (Kevin Siembieda), Kevin Long, Charles Walton, and others, as well as one-of-a-kind negatives from classic Rifts® and other Palladium RPG books (they look awesome framed!), rare Palladium collector hardcovers, signed books, one-of-a-kind proofreader copies, other Palladium memorabilia, as well as toys and other collectibles from my personal collection. Yeah, I used to be a crazy toy and art collector. Alex and I will try to post new items on a regular basis, so check in every few weeks to see what’s new.

Other one-of-a-kind original artwork available by me (Kevin Siembieda), Kevin Long, Charles Walton II and other artists, as well as collectible negatives, prints, limited edition hardcovers, proofreader copies, out of print items, Star Wars toys, Marvel toys and many other toys and collectibles from my personal collection. Alex and I will keep adding items as our busy schedules allow, but we have a lot of fun collectibles available now and coming soon. Hundreds of items. Take a look every weekend for new additions.

Available now: One-of-a-kind book negatives. Negatives are always very popular items at the Palladium Open House and Gen Con. Truly unique, attractive, and fun.

Negatives are unique and attractive, one-of-a-kind (on rare occasions two-of-a-kind if a page or section of pages were replaced or a second edition was made) works of art that resemble woodcut art and are very dynamic conversation pieces. Before digital printing, pages of a book were laid out by hand on a board, and each page was photographed. The plastic film negatives were then “ganged” on a massive sheet of Mylar 16 pages per big sheet, and the printing plates were made from the negatives – everything white, printing black.

When our printer, McNaughton and Gunn was going to discard them, Palladium acquired many (not all) of the old negatives. I am only keeping a few books for myself and make majority of the rest available to you. I sign each negative in silver and each comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The negative comes on a white board inside a plastic magazine bag and looks fabulous framed! Fits in an 8x10 inch matt opening in a frame (each neg is roughly 8½ x 11 inches). But don’t miss the other collectibles as well.

NEW! Cozy Caverns Mysteries – Beyond the Supernatural RPG adventure podcast from the whiz kids at www.realplaygamespod.com – now through the end of the year

Here are the descriptions and schedule for the Cozy Caverns Mysteries podcast inspired by Beyond the Supernatural, 2nd Edition.

Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 1 – Welcome to Cozy Caverns – Jasmine “Jazz” D’Amore and Jordan “Dani” D’Amore are two sisters in their early thirties struggling to find love, job fulfillment, and money to pay the bills on time. When the loss of an estranged family member changes their circumstances, the sisters change their location, and discover the quirky, mysterious town of Cozy Caverns, Arizona and its inhabitants. All is not as it seems.

Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 2 – Supporting Local Businesses – Following Dani’s weird dream from the night before and Jazz’s unusually invigorating morning run, the D’Amore sisters hit the town of Cozy Caverns for a day of shopping and relaxation! After narrowly avoiding one hunky close encounter and picking up some reading material, the gals do lunch and then hit the library. There Dani’s jaw hits the floor and Jazz’s personal self-restraint is pushed to its limits. The excitement dies down a little bit around nighttime, but an explosive late-night confession throws everything the sisters know, or thought they knew, into chaos.

Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 3 – Rough Night – Dani has a another dream that leads to unexpected revelations and ramifications, while Jazz’s jog leads to a terrifying situation! There aren’t any romantic parts in this one and you’re not meeting any hunks, we can assure you of that! Suspicious behavior abounds regarding people in authority, and secrets slowly begin to reveal themselves. At least you can count on Milena’s cooking over at the Prickly Pear!

Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 4 – Deep Dives and Love Lives – It’s an incredibly full day for the D’Amore sisters during the annual Cactus Festival! Dani’s experiences prompt Jazz to have the both of them do more digging into the weirdness that seems to surround Cozy Caverns. The two uncover vital information.

- New! September 9 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 5 – D. Frisbee and the Curious Case in the Caves – The D'Amore sisters are certainly keeping busy on their trip! A meeting with D. Frisbee reveals a whole glut of information about some of the stranger goings-on that have taken place within bucolic Cozy Caverns. Meanwhile, a mine tour with ol' Tom goes south fast. It happens when Dani discovers something she really wishes she hadn't in the cool caverns below the little town with the most warmth!

- New! September 23 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 6 – A Bumpy Pre-Date Afternoon – With their dates fast approaching, Jazz and Dani are digging up as much information as possible, but will a freak-out underground spell disaster for a promising evening? Or will the D'Amore sisters take their lumps as they come and try to make the best out of a sticky situation?

- New! October 7 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 7 – The Only Good Part was the Sushi – One sister's date goes badly, but it's fun to watch that train wreck happen in real time. The other's goes well, maybe too well. Things get really dramatic after the dates, to the point where the sisters find themselves repeatedly menaced by a shadowy figure that's been stalking their trail! Don't miss the bone-crushing excitement!

Coming ...

- October 21 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 8 – The Reek of Burnt Motor Oil – A sudden manifestation of potent supernatural abilities puts the sisters back on the right foot, at least for the time being. The two join forces to attack the ancient alien foe who has been stalking them throughout the caverns. They have put almost all of the pieces of the puzzle together, but now they need something even more important than the truth: A plan!

- November 4 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries Chapter 9 Finale – Ghost Bashers – This one is for all the marbles! The sisters gather as much equipment as they can and head out to the old mine shaft for their confrontation with their evil spectral enemy! Dark things are revealed. Will the D'Amore sisters get devoured by the darkness beneath the Earth, or will they drag the vileness monster into the light? Don't miss the explosive finale!

- November 18 – Cozy Caverns Mysteries “Bonus” Episode – Cozy After Dark – This is the one where we kick back, stop worrying so much about what's happening in the adventure (since it's over!) and talk about how we created the characters, the setting, adapting an adventure published in 1990 to a 2022 context, cultural issues in portrayal that specifically involve the US Southwest, and give a bunch of information about what we were thinking and feeling as the adventure was going on.

More to come. You can expect a new Heroes Unlimited Christmas podcast special in December, and more episodes of their popular After the Bomb®: Purrsuit of Knowledge™ (mutant animals) series in 2023, as well as a Road Hogs mini-adventure, and could there be a Palladium Fantasy podcast coming? I think there might. We are happy to see more gamers finding these fun podcasts based on Palladium RPG worlds almost as much as we love seeing Palladium fans getting creative and having fun. Spread the word and enjoy.

 

Closing Thoughts – Surprise Packages are back – what are you waiting for?

The Palladium “Christmas” Surprise Package Offer is near and dear to my heart. It is especially so when many gamers are going through tough times like we’ve seen these past few years. I grew up poor. I know hardship. I know what it’s like when you are unable to afford a fraction of the books and games and art you love. Things that spark your imagination, inspire you, and bring great joy.

Despite our poverty, my parents always made Christmas feel magical. My brother and I always felt special and loved. That love, thoughtful gift-giving spirit, and wonder of Christmas is the inspiration behind the Palladium Surprise Package Offer. It is a gift to you from us. Our way of saying “thank you” for your support and patronage. A way to let you know how much we appreciate you. So please take advantage of them and spread the word so many other gamers, new and old, can enjoy this heartfelt offer.

Palladium’s beloved Christmas Surprise Package Offer is a fun way for you to get a pile of RPGs, sourcebooks, world books, issues of The Rifter®, novels, and other fun stuff on the cheap. When you request autographs it gives me and available staff members great pleasure to sign your books. As you can imagine, we sign thousands of books and I must draw a few hundred Dragonhead sketches every holiday season, but we are happy to do so. We also love reading your brief comments and constructive suggestions.

During the holiday seasons (and in our minds that starts with Halloween!) the warehouse looks and feels like Santa’s Workshop. I know, silly, but true, with our little production line for processing, pulling, signing, packing and shipping Surprise Packages. There are tall stacks of boxes and piles of books everywhere. I love it!

Christmas and the spirit of giving is our motivation, but these Surprise Packages are suitable gifts for any occasion – Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, etc., as well as birthdays, anniversaries, and simple acts of kindness and displays of appreciation for the gamers in your lives, especially during these chaotic and troubling times. And while you’re at it, treat yourself, I’m sure you deserve it. The Surprise Package is a great way to replace well-loved battered books or lost books, complete your collection, try new RPGs and world settings (like Palladium Fantasy®, Nightbane®, Heroes Unlimited, Beyond the Supernatural), and get ideas for new adventures, AND of course, it’s a good time to get the fun items you might not otherwise buy for yourself like miniatures, T-shirts, prints, notepads, pens, pencils, bookmarks, greeting cards, coffee mugs, etc. Those two Rifts Christmas Greeting cards are pretty sweet and just in time for Christmas.

So from all of us to all of you, my dear friends and gaming mavens – thank you, happy holidays, and game on. Ho, ho, ho and Happy Halloween.

– Kevin Siembieda, Publisher, Writer, Friend, & Surrogate Santa Claus

NEW! Lopan (Fantasy) Raw Preview Edition – Collector’s item – Available now

Get your first glimpse of Lopan with the Lopan™ Raw Preview Edition. Lopan is the often overlooked gem of the North. Nestled in the middle of the inland sea, it is near the center of the known world, yet Lopan is isolated from much of the rest of the world’s nations. This has kept it a calm, peaceful domain largely free from war and conflict. The creation and clever marketing of the (Olympic-like) Lopanic Games and the Garden of the Gods have brought Lopan international notoriety and increased trade from the rest of the civilized world.

Like the rest of the Palladium World, Lopan has a long, rich history, much of it forgotten. A history which harbors ancient secrets and forgotten magicks, such as Mosaic Magic. Meanwhile, though it seems grand, its future is not entirely certain. As a home to Elvenkind, these long-lived people, alone, bring with them a checkered past and a certain amount of drama that can be good or bad for Lopan’s future.

Glen Evans’ Lopan world book explores the present politics, people, and places, as well as a few of its secrets and history. Lopan is a safe environment where visitors do not have to worry about war, throngs of thieves and cutthroats, or monsters. That makes it a resource and staging ground for expeditions into any of the many lands around the island nation. Lopan serves as a place for adventurers and mercenaries to resupply, sell and trade treasure and loot, buy weapons and gear, acquire magic, find clues and information about new quests, and rest in between missions. Of course, the Lopanic Games offer the chance for fame and riches, while the Garden of the Gods may provide inspiration, visions, quests, and just causes to champion.

  • Your first glimpse of Lopan in its “raw” manuscript form.
  • Kingdom of Lopan overview and notable history.
  • Key cities and places.
  • New character classes.
  • Notable people.
  • New Mosaic Magic.
  • Magic items and gear.
  • Many paths to adventure and ideas for more.
  • Only 350 copies of this limited collector’s item are available.
  • Sold on a first come, first served basis, while supplies last.
  • Written by Glen Evans.
  • 184 pages – $28.99 retail – Cat. No. 476-RAW – Available now.
  • What is a Raw Preview Edition? It is the unfinished, unedited, advance manuscript subject to rewrites and expansion. It gets a limited print run of around 200-350 copies and is fun for collectors to have something rare and unique, and is especially handy for writers and game designers (and curious gamers) because they get a glimpse into the development process at Palladium when they compare what is in the Raw Preview and what sees print in the final book, what gets expanded, dropped out, etc. In this case, writer Glen Evans has presented an overview of Lopan based on conversations and notes from Kevin Siembieda. Kevin will be tweaking and adding material to make the final book even more compelling and full of adventure hooks. And of course, this is the perfect companion for Garden of the Gods and if all goes well, it should be followed by a sourcebook about the fabled Lopanic Games (and how your characters can participate in them).

Rifts Automated Character Sheet on PalladiumBooks.com

Still Hot! Rifts® Automated Character Sheet for EXCEL

The next step in character data collection! This EXCEL template provides automation to your Rifts® character creation process. Done in Microsoft Excel, this character template will allow you to build your character with substantial ease and speed. Ideal for the new gamer who doesn’t know all of the Palladium Books® rules just yet, it’s also a highly effective tool for Game Masters and advanced players alike who make multiple characters, NPCs or just like to min/max or theory craft characters between games.

  • Dice Roller: A simple dice roller is on the main page of the character sheet to help with character creation or in-game dice rolling needs.
  • Automated Attributes and Stat Block: All the bonuses and features from attributes are presented in a large stat block allowing you to easily see your bonus to save vs Psionics, Mind Control, etc. You can pick your strength type (Normal, Augmented, Robotic or Supernatural) to determine your carrying and lifting capacity and even your M.D. punch damage if your strength is high enough and of the right type.
  • Automated Combat Stats: The main page holds a section where you can pull up data for your various combat stats, from hand to hand abilities such as Strike, Parry, Dodge and Disarm, to W.P. bonuses including those of the W.P. Sharpshooting variety. This section draws upon all of your character’s selection of skills and abilities and even offers customization from odd O.C.C. or racial abilities.
  • Automated Psionics: All psionics from Rifts® Ultimate Edition, Rifts® World Book 12: Psyscape™ and Rifts® World Book 32: Lemuria can be selected from a dropdown menu that then populates tables with the information on psionics for your character. Each psionic ability’s data including damage, M.D.C. and range also automatically increases based on the character’s level of experience.
  • Automated Spells: All Common Invocations, Necromancy, Ocean Magic and Biomancy spells (yes, all the Lemurian Biomancer spells too!) can be selected from a dropdown menu that then populates tables with the information on spells for your character. Each spell’s data including damage, M.D.C. and range also automatically increases based on the character’s level of experience.
  • Automated Skills: All skills from the Rifts® Ultimate Edition, Rifts® World Book 25: China 2 – Heroes of the Celestial Court™ and Rifts® World Book 32: Lemuria can be selected and then automatically add bonuses from prerequisites and related skills. Physical skills that provide bonuses also add those bonuses directly to attributes and combat stats. Bonuses that require dice rolls are denoted and can then be manually rolled and added to the character sheet. Custom percent bonuses such as O.C.C. bonuses can also be added to individual skills.
  • Automated Cybernetics & Bionics: All cybernetics and bionics from Rifts® Ultimate Edition along with some favorites from other books can be selected from dropdown menus which then tabulate bonuses and add them to your combat stats. Prices also sum up so an enterprising Headhunter can keep track of his hardware and upgrades. Simple cybernetic body part diagrams even allow players to allocate the locations of their various cybernetic and bionic components.
  • Freeform O.C.C. and Racial Power Section: A section for non-standard powers, special O.C.C. or racial abilities allows the player to add custom skills and powers that can be linked to those features to draw upon the character’s level of experience, I.Q. bonus or other stats so powers grow as the character advances.
  • Character Building Section: On the main page of the document is a section to help you build your character, from customizing attributes, to adding non-standard bonuses from O.C.C. or racial abilities, to an optional point buy system for attributes.
  • Helpful Hints and Suggestions: Red triangular tabs appear throughout the document. Hovering over the red tab with the mouse cursor will reveal useful data from sourcebooks, hints, suggestions and other information, such as what a particular stat means, how it’s used in the game and what things can add bonuses or affect it. There is also a page with overview instructions on how to use the sheet, and a number of instructional videos will be posted via Palladium TV on the ins and outs of the character sheet. The first can be found here: http://youtu.be/a89XzAV37sE
  • Portrait: A special sheet is set up so you can add an image to the document for a custom portrait for your character. That image is then displayed on the main page and is protected from accidental movement or deletion from the main page.
  • Password Protected: Several pages of the document are password protected so players won’t accidently delete formulas and ruin the character sheet’s automated features. The password is provided so players can customize the sheet to their liking then protect the sheet again so they don’t undo all their hard work.
  • Note: The file is best used in Microsoft EXCEL 2016 or above. Some data may be lost if not using Microsoft EXCEL, such as when using similar products like Open Office.
  • Available from PalladiumBooks.com AND DriveThruRPG.com – make them characters!
