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

I approved the printer proof for Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ earlier this week. The book looks great and the printer confirmed that it should arrive at the Palladium warehouse in two weeks, August 9. I can hardly wait till it is in your hands. Otherwise, I have been working on Nightbane® Dark Designs™ and a number of business matters, including catching up on correspondences, and getting ready for Gen Con® Indy. I talk about this in more detail in my Murmur from the Megaverse posted this morning. Oh, and Ninjas & Superspies and Mystic China are now available as PDF titles.

Speaking of PDF books, folks seem pretty excited about Palladium’s Bundle of Holding Rifts® PDF offer. It is available for a limited time, and that time is ticking down quickly, so if you are interested, you only have about ten days to order one. Read on for more information and news.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Secrets of the Atlanteans^™ – Ships August 9, 2017

I approved the digital proofs of Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ on Tuesday and the printer confirmed we should receive the book on August 9th. It is always fun flipping through the mockup of the printed book, and this is a great one. There are ideas on every page and the book is packed with information about True Atlanteans, Tattoo Magic, Stone Pyramids, Crystal Magic, Shadow Magic, Atlantean clans, the Sunaj, new Atlantean O.C.C.s, old O.C.C.s, the Shadow Dimension and its monstrous inhabitants, and more. Take a look at the free preview on DriveThruRPG.com for more details and a few choice glimpses of what you can expect. 224 pages, $24.95 retail. All pre-orders will be shipped out the same day it arrives in our warehouse. Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ will be available at Gen Con.

UPDATE: Nightbane^® Dark Designs^™ sourcebook – Ships August 25, 2017

We are in the final editing and tweaking stage of Nightbane® Dark Designs™. We anticipate laying it out and sending it to the printer next week. Advance copies will be available at Gen Con® where the author, Mark Oberle, will be available to sign books. Dark Designs™ is all about the Nightbane and the creation of their Morphus, appearance, and transformation into it, as well as new Minor and Major Talents, the Ancient Nightbane (statted at last) and more. See the full description elsewhere in this Update.

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

The last few weeks have been a blur. Heck, who am I kidding? The first half of this year has been a blur. So much going on. A lot of it very good and the rest very promising.

Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ is done and at the printer. The book went long, so it is 224 pages and is pretty darn awesome. I will have Wayne put up a FREE sneak preview on DriveThruRPG.com today. It is truly everything you have ever wanted to know about Atlanteans and then some. I’m already working on Nightbane® Dark Designs™. The finished manuscript for Rifts® Living Nowhere™ came in last week and art is already being done for it, so we are on it. Oh, and Gen Con Indy is in about 3 weeks! How did that happen? Read on to get all the latest.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Secrets of the Atlanteans^™ – At the Printer – Ships August 9, 2017

Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ is done and at the printer. Probably shipping around August 9th, so get those orders in. Btw, we added 32 pages, because we did not want to cut out any of the awesomeness. Price is still $24.95 retail. And I got Wayne to put up a free preview on DriveThruRPG.com!
