It remains a whirlwind of activity at Palladium Books®.
We’ve been working at fever-pitch trying to get books finished as fast as possible and Robotech® RPG Tactics™ ready to send to the manufacturer in a few months. This week I did writing and editing on Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook, Rifts® Northern Gun™ One, and assigned more artwork for NG. Today, I am assigning the last of the artwork for Northern Gun™ One. The assigning of Northern Gun™ Two artwork will start next week or the following week. The entire time, Chuck Walton has been working away on artwork for both books. Meanwhile, Wayne and I put together a Distributor Update, a Robotech® RPG Tactics™ press release, some tweaks to the Palladium website, and worked with Ninja Division to get promotional materials together for the GAMA Trade Show and other advertising and promotion considerations.
We’ve also been submitting Robotech® materials to Harmony Gold for input and approvals, I spoke with various freelancers, found a new writer for Robotech RPG books (okay, he sorta found me and we had an excellent conversation this morning), and I’m trying to help put together a couple of exciting third party projects for Rifts®. In fact, yesterday I had a fun and inspiring telephone conference with a couple of cool guys that I would love to do business with in the future. Time and a little bit of luck will dictate how that pans out.
EVERYTHING is moving forward at a good pace on all fronts. Very exciting.
