Thanksgiving and the week that has followed seems to have flown by in the blink of an eye. Christmas Surprise Package season is a big part of that. We easily spend half our day selecting and pulling product, signing books, then packing and shipping them out. We love doing Surprise Packages, so please keep them coming, but they are a lot of work. Of course, this week was extra busy thanks to the release of Dead Reign™ Sourcebook 4: Fear the Reaper™ and The Rifter® #64. Both books look gorgeous and are getting high praise from those who have seen them. If you had a pre-order or are a Rifter® subscriber, your copies are on their way to you.

Rifts® Northern Gun™ One continues to sell like crazy and remains the Number One ‘requested’ item for the Christmas Surprise Packages, but the Rifts® Ultimate Edition, Rifts® Lemuria, Rifts® Black Market, Rifts® Vampire Sourcebook, Robotech® and Dead Reign™ (zombie apocalypse) are all right behind it. We’ve seen a lot of interest and requests for various Palladium Fantasy®, Heroes Unlimited™ and Nightbane® titles too, which is great to see.

Robotech^® RPG Tactics^™ – Coming Soon

If you’re a Robotech® fan, this is the game you’ve wanted for decades, with beautifully sculpted, in scale, game pieces and the fast action of Robotech®.

Robotech® RPG Tactics™ is a fast-paced, tabletop combat game that captures the action and adventure of the Robotech® anime. Two or more players can engage in small squad skirmishes or scale up to massive battles. Relive the clashes of the First Robotech War, engage in stand-alone tactical games or use the dynamic game pieces to enhance your Robotech® RPG experience. Or simply collect your favorite mecha from an expanding range of top notch game pieces.

Mecha vs Mecha. Take command of the fighting forces of the United Earth Defense Force (UEDF) valiantly defending Earth from alien annihilation. Or lead the massive clone armies of the Zentraedi Armada to recover an alien artifact of immense power and enslave humankind.
