Palladium Books® Weekly Update – Nov. 25, 2015

By Kevin Siembieda

Happy Thanksgiving

I don’t know about you, but around here, Thanksgiving Day seems to kick off the holiday season that culminates with Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and ends with New Year’s Eve. I’m not talking about holiday sales season – though Palladium does have its annual Christmas Surprise Package and a couple special offers for the weekend through Cyber-Monday – I’m talking about the energy that comes with Christmas and related holidays. There just seems to be something festive and joyful about this time of year. I like that part of the holidays a lot.

I hear some people grumbling about the commercialization of the holidays, but you know what, don’t let that part get to you. Enjoy the good stuff. Actually, stop and think about – maybe even talk about – the things you are thankful for. Particularly the people who bring love, joy and laughter into your life. Make sure you tell them how much they mean to you. How much you love them.

Life is hard. It doesn’t matter how much you work at being a good person and always doing the right thing, you still face challenges and heartbreak. Sometimes crushing heartbreak. And when those dark days hit, it is your friends and loved ones who are there to cry with you and help lift you back on your feet. During the holidays, let them know how much they matter to you. Send a card, give them a call on the phone (not just a text or email, though those are welcomed, too), and when you see them in person, give them a big hug and a few words to acknowledge their importance to you. You won’t be sorry.

As for gifts, sure it’s nice to give out presents. I love giving people presents. But you know what, they don’t have to be big and expensive. I’ve found that a small, thoughtful gift is plenty to tell someone they are remembered, loved and appreciated.

I wish I could call each and every one of you to say thank you and wish you and your families the best for the holidays. I can’t, so we do the next best thing: we offer the Palladium Christmas Surprise Packages and go the extra mile to sign the books when asked to do so – thousands of them – and we are delighted to do it. When I can, I add a little note or a drawing. And we do it all with the genuine intention of putting smiles on your faces in a gesture of gratitude. You guys are the best.

While Palladium has faced its share of challenges and tragedies, it is you who have made the battles all worthwhile. We love what we do for a living, and the people we make the games for. That’s you. You’ve brought us joy and friendship I never imagined when I started Palladium Books back in 1981. I’m thankful about many things: Great friends, great experiences brought to me through role-playing games, new friends, new challenges and opportunities, and the truly wonderful life I have enjoyed because of you.

Happy Thanksgiving! On behalf of everyone here at Palladium Books – may your lives be joyous and filled with good health, dear friends, prosperity and great times at the gaming table.

UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics

I just want to clear up a misunderstanding that some people have, based on comments I’ve made in the last few Updates. While it is true that we have other obligations we must also address, and we are not focused on Robotech® RPG Tactics every minute of every day, that doesn’t mean we’re not working on RRT! It is constantly on our minds and IS a top priority. We are talking about it, going over plans and exploring options, and working on ways to make the 2016 relaunch awesome. Our goal is to make Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Wave Two everything it can be, and more. We look forward to putting Wave Two in your hands next year, and giving you the next generations of Robotech® mecha and adventures. We love Robotech® and appreciate the thousands of fans and Kickstarter backers. We want to regroup and make this game great. And that’s exactly what we are working at doing.

In the meantime, those of you Robotech® fans who have thought about trying this game should take advantage of the Black Friday/Cyber-Monday sale Palladium is offering this weekend, with prices you are likely to never see again. Robotech® RPG Tactics™ is a damn good game. The game pieces are highly detailed and made with quality and care. The rules are fast, fun, and truly capture the action of the television show you know and love. Don’t take our word for it, or anyone else’s – see for yourself while you can get the game and expansion packs at these amazing prices. You will not be disappointed. Five days only.

Robotech® RPG Tactics – Black Friday/Cyber-Monday WEEKEND Special – 5 days only – November 25-Dec 1, 2015

Robotech® Exclusives – Available to Everyone – Black Friday/Cyber-Monday WEEKEND Special – 5 days only – November 25-December 1, 2015

Normally available only at conventions and to our Kickstarter backers, we are making the 2015 Robotech® RPG Tactics™ EXCLUSIVES available to anyone over the Thanksgiving 4-day weekend and Cyber-Monday. These are dynamic, easy to build (4-9 pieces per figure) figures that look great. Get ‘em while you can.

ONLY 4 weeks to Christmas – time is running out

If you haven’t ordered yours yet, what are you waiting for?

IF YOU WANT YOUR SURPRISE PACKAGE IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS, YOU NEED TO ORDER in the NEXT 2 WEEKS! When those of you in the USA and Canada order in the next two weeks, you are guaranteed to get your Christmas Surprise Packages in time for Christmas – and without having to pay for a better, faster method of shipping!

What is a Palladium Christmas Surprise Package?

A bargain and fun for you, and our way of saying thank you to our loyal fans and newcomers. We love delivering a package of Christmas cheer to your doorstep and putting smiles on the faces of some big kids around the world. For you, it is a great way to get presents for your gaming pals, fill holes in your collection, or try new games and settings. For us, it’s being Santa Claus to the greatest fans on the planet.

$89-$95 (or more!) worth of Palladium Books products for only $42 plus shipping and handling. You are guaranteed to get an absolute minimum of eighty-nine dollars ($89) retail value in your Surprise Package. Often you get $90-$96 (for most). Sometimes more! Santa Kevin likes to make gamers squeal with delight and often packs in $95-$100 worth of goodies into many Surprise Packages.

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 will surprise you with stuff you are not expecting. Things like a special print(s), or issues of The Rifter®, or a Palladium RPG or sourcebook(s), special edition comic book, or other items that we think you might enjoy. Plus you can ask for unusual items, or special gold editions, art prints, and maybe even some original art. All items are “hand-picked” by Kevin Siembieda from YOUR “wish list.” ALL with autographs IF you request them. For many of you, this is the only way to get autographs from Palladium’s staff, artists and writers! And you can order right now!

Your “Wish List” – The Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the fun, joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving. To do this, you submit a list of 10-14 Palladium products (or more) FOR EACH Surprise Package you order. This list of 10-14 items for EACH Grab Bag is critical, because you will not know which items you’ll be getting. 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 T-shirt, or issue of The Rifter®, or something else he thinks you’ll enjoy.

Available now! You can order right now thru December 24, 2015. And Christmas Surprise Packages are not just for Christmas. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you’re looking for a gift for a birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or any special occasion that falls between now and February, 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, and you look like you spent a fortune.

Please spread the word about the Christmas Surprise Packages to gamers everywhere!

A great way to introduce Palladium’s settings to new gamers is with a Christmas Surprise Package. I mean, for the price of what most core rule books cost, you can get one Surprise Package ($42 plus shipping) with 3-5 different titles (depending on the value of each book). It’s hard to beat that kind of deal. The Christmas Surprise Package is only publicized by word of mouth, to readers of The Rifter® and on Palladium's website – www.palladiumbooks.com – so please tell everyone you know, post a link on your Facebook page, twitter and... well, everywhere. And pick one up one for every gamer you know and have a joyful holiday season.

UPDATE: Rifts® Chaos Earth® Resurrection – Ships Monday, November 30

With the holidays, the printer has fallen a bit behind schedule, so we are expecting to get Chaos Earth® Resurrection™ in our hands Monday or Tuesday. Artist, Mark Dudley, came by yesterday, saw the photocopy of the finished book and raved about it. I’m telling you, gamers who love story and role-playing opportunities go nuts over Chaos Earth® Resurrection™ – and isn’t that most of us? Go to DriveThruRPG.com to see a couple of FREE Chaos Earth® Resurrection™ previews.

Orders placed over the weekend ship the day we receive the book. And yes, Chaos Earth® Resurrection™ is available to request on your Christmas Surprise Package wish list.

UPDATE! The Rifter® #71 & 72 Double Issue – 224 pages – December

We have been pounding away at finishing this double issue all week. We desperately wanted to get it to the printer today, but that didn’t happen. We’ll be working through the weekend (whaaaah) to get it done and to the printer on Monday and in your hands in time for Christmas. The Rifter® #71 & 72 Double Issue is a nice mix of source material and fun. 224 pages of adventure, ideas for adventures, G.M. tips, story, news and more. In final production. Ships in December as soon as we can get it!

Reminder – BACK IN PRINT: Nine titles back in stock – available now

A number of book titles had recently slipped temporarily out of print, and a few, like Rifts® Adventure Sourcebook One: Chi-Town ‘Burbs: Forbidden Knowledge™, have been out of print for more than a year. Well, they are all back in stock and available now. And because you demanded it, the original Island at the Edge of the World™, Palladium Fantasy RPG® sourcebook is being brought back as a special, short-run printing. Island uses the first edition rules for Palladium Fantasy, but is very easily adapted to the current rules.

COMING: Island at the Edge of the World, 1st Edition rules, back in print – Ships December 4, 2015

You asked for it and we provide. Island at the Edge of the World is a short print run of the book with First Edition rules, but is easily adapted to Palladium Fantasy, 2nd Edition. It should be available December fourth, and may be requested for Christmas Surprise Packages.

Have a nice weekend, and don’t forget about us while you are out shopping for the best deals. Palladium has some great deals, too. Game on!

Surprise Package comments from fans like you

Every year there is a section where the customer can offer comments and suggestions with his or her Surprise Package order. Every year, in acknowledgment of our fans, and because they are fun to read, we offer a sampling in the Weekly Updates. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you who have stuck with Palladium through thick and thin. Keep those imaginations burning bright, have a joyous holiday season and game on.

You have no idea how much your comments and support mean to all of us. Everyone at Palladium enjoys reading your brief comments. They always brighten our day. Thank you. Since I haven’t been posting as much as I’d like, I have tried to write a short response [in brackets] when applicable.

T.B. in Kansas City, Missouri, writes (in part): Thank you so much for the Surprise Packages. I just started really gaming last year and started with Palladium Fantasy and liked it instantly... I am hooked and want more! I’m thinking of possibly stepping up to be a G.M. for a while in our group. We take turns running. Thank you all for what you do and the Grab Bags. Hope you all have a safe and wonderful Christmas.

[You have a wonderful Christmas too, T.B. I’m happy you have fallen in love with the Palladium Fantasy RPG®. It is my personal, all time favorite game setting. Here’s my tip for being a good G.M.: focus on character and story, don’t over-think anything, not even the rules, and have fun. If the players are enjoying themselves and having a good time, then you are doing just fine. – KS]

D.F. in Nevada City, California, writes (in part): Rifts® and Chaos Earth® are my favorite games. You and your Palladium Books staff’s participation with gamers and your having these X-Mas Packages are a great thing. Anyways, happy holidays and thanks.

[You are welcome, D.F. Thanks for the kind words. Keep that imagination burning bright and happy holidays to you. – KS]

G.W. in Jasper, Alberta, Canada, writes: Keep up the great work and outstanding quality.

[Will do, G.W. Happy holidays. – KS]

J.K. in Grand Forks, North Dakota, writes: My dearest Palladium People, I love you. That is all.

[Hey J.K., we love ya too. Thanks for the sweet comment. Keep that imagination and kind spirit burning bright. – KS]

K.R. in Buffalo, New York, writes (in part): I am a HUGE Robotech® fan ... Please keep up the great work. Been a fan for almost 20 years... Chaos Earth® because of that game’s awesome setting and content, as well as Splicers® which is also an amazing game. I love the work all of you put into this. Thank you.

[You are very welcome, K.R., our pleasure. We try to make every game setting special and fun to play. I hope you enjoy our work for the next 20 years. – KS]

D.B. in Fort Dodge, Iowa, writes: Greeting from the cornfields! Thank you again for your outstanding commitment to the fans. After nine years, my bookshelves can barely handle the special gifts that Palladium has blessed me with. Just so you know, due to the awesomeness [of these Surprise Packages], Christmas morning has a strict barefoot-only code in our house – as in the inevitable “blowing my socks off” moment has been dubbed a safety hazard. Merry Christmas.

[Ah, thanks D.B., we try to blow the socks off gamers with every Christmas Surprise Package we ship out. As I like to imagine how Santa Claus must feel, I love knowing we are putting smiles on the faces of gamers around the world. Love it. Thanks for the generous comments and for making me chuckle. I hope this year’s Grab Bag blows your socks off again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! – KS]

Chaos Earth Resurrection

Rifts® Chaos Earth® Resurrection – ships November 30

The Golden Age of Science and human civilization is shattered with the return of magic and the Coming of the Rifts. Overnight, human civilization is toppled. Many major cities are wiped from the face of the Earth. Humanity struggles to survive against impossible odds and the demonic horrors, aliens and monsters emerging from the Rifts.

Now comes the first invasion from another world. Its army? The corpses of our own dead, deliberately reanimated to become an invasion force to conquer the living. A growing number are mechanized zombies – nightmarish creations with multiple body parts and armor and weapons bolted right onto their bodies. Unless stopped, they could wipe out all human life.

The Rifter® #71 & 72 Double Issue – 224 pages – Fall 2015

In production now. Coming December as a giant, 224 page double-issue, The Rifter® #71 & #72.

Every issue of The Rifter® is an idea factory for players and Game Masters to generate new ideas and find new avenues of adventure. It provides useful, ready to go source material you can just drop into your ongoing games. A doorway to new possibilities and numerous Palladium role-playing worlds. And the many new characters, O.C.C.s, powers, magic, weapons, villains, monsters, adventures and ideas for one setting can be easily adapted to any Palladium setting. Every issue has material for Rifts® and at least 2-3 other Palladium game lines. With 2015 being the 25th Anniversary of Rifts®, every issue of The Rifter® will feature a Rifts® inspired cover and contain at least one Rifts® article.

The Rifter® #71-72 Double Issue will present a nice variety of new source material for Rifts® and other Palladium RPG settings. Celebrating the Rifts® 25th Anniversary, there will be an emphasis on Rifts® material.

X-Mas Grab Bags

Palladium Christmas Surprise Packages start NOW!

Can you believe it? It's that time again for the Palladium Christmas Surprise Package! Palladium Books® has been doing Christmas Surprise Packages, or “Grab Bags,” for 17 or 18 years. It enables you to get several RPG titles ($86-95 worth for ONLY $42 plus shipping and handling) as gifts or for yourself. It is our way to say thank you to our many fans for being so kind and patient, and for your years of support. You are appreciated more than you may realize.

Christmas Surprise Packages are not just for Christmas. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you’re looking for a gift for a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or any special occasion that falls between now and February, 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®, 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” – The Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the fun, joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving. To do this, you submit a list of 10-14 Palladium products (or more) FOR EACH Surprise Package you order. This list of 10-14 items for EACH Grab Bag is critical, because you will not know which items you’ll be getting. 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 T-shirt, or 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), the 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, especially those in other countries, 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.

It only costs $42 plus shipping to get $86-$95+ worth of Palladium products! First-timers are always nervous until they see the great value in their first Surprise Package. A typical Grab Bag has $86-$95 worth of product, sometimes more! Yes, sometimes more. 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, and get your gaming pals gifts. SPREAD THE WORD about this great offer.

Coalition States Heroes of Humanity

COMING – Rifts® Sourcebook – The Coalition States: Heroes of Humanity

The events unfolding in World Book 35: Megaverse® in Flames threaten to change the entire landscape of Rifts® Earth as the demonic minions of Hades and Dyval seek to bring Hell on Earth, and turn the planet into a dimensional gateway to Armageddon!

The Coalition States, along with Northern Gun and Lazlo, take the lead in the defense of North America. Heroes of Humanity explores the good and bad in the Coalition’s efforts to save humanity and send this new threat back to the pits of Hell.

COMING – Rifts® Secrets of the Coalition States: The Disavowed

“Desperate times require desperate measures. War has nothing to do with morality or justice. It’s all about winning or dying. We cannot bind our hands with high ideals, even our own, or worry about the laws of renegade nations or the rights of alien people. We must fight fire with fire. And you are the match.” – Colonel Lyboc addressing a Disavowed team

The Disavowed are so Top Secret that their existence is known only to a handful of the Coalition States’ most elite, top echelon, with Joseph Prosek II the mastermind behind the Disavowed operation, and Colonel Lyboc its shadowy face. Find out who these men and women are. How the Disavowed get away with using magic, traveling to other parts of Rifts Earth and even to other dimensions in pursuit of enemies and strategic information that cannot be had through conventional means. Learn about the secret parameters in which these hard-boiled warriors, secretly hand-picked by Joseph Prosek II, operate, why almost every mission is considered a suicide mission, and why they must forever be the Disavowed.

COMING – Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans

True Atlanteans are descendants from Earth’s past. The survivors of the sinking of Atlantis (really a dimensional mishap) and travelers of the Megaverse, wielders of Tattoo Magic and other lost mystic arts. Most people regard them as heroes, but are they? The Sunaj Assassins are mythic villains feared by all, yet they too are True Atlanteans who serve dark forces.

For the first time, much of the story behind True Atlanteans and their secrets are revealed.

COMING – Rifts® Chaos Earth® Sourcebook: First Responders

The Great Cataclysm has devastated civilization, but humanity fights for survival. The struggles of civilian law enforcement, fire and rescue, and everyday men and women are some of the most epic tales to be told in a world gone to hell. They fight monsters, aliens, the paranormal, the elements, and each other, all with the hope of reclaiming their lives from the Chaos.

Bizantium and the Northern Islands

NEW! Palladium Fantasy RPG® Sourcebook: Bizantium and the Northern Islands – Available now

To the civilized world, Bizantium and the waters and lands around it are frightening. A realm of sea serpents, monsters, and barbarians. To the heroes and people who live there, it is a realm of adventure, beauty and opportunity. One might consider Bizantium as the center of adventure and mystery in the North.

North of Bizantium are the Icy Ocean and Great Ice Shelf, places where only a handful of the bravest Bizantian sailors have ever set sail, and the rest of the world knows nothing about. For kingdoms in the south, only a few scholars have ever heard of the Great Ice Shelf or the cannibalistic Necromancers known as the Iceborn who make the frozen wasteland their home. Those who have heard tales of the land of ice and death are convinced they are nothing but the stuff of myth. Very soon, they will find out otherwise. And these are but a few of the revelations presented in Bizantium and the Northern Islands™. Discover for yourself the wonders and horrors that await.

NEW! Rifts® Special Order Products – PRINT on Demand

The following items are something new, proposed by and created by Tags, a fan of Rifts® and Palladium Books. He did the design work and had the sample products that are shown here created by Victor Narvaez at NY Embroidery. We liked what these two gents created, so we are making them available to you as Special Orders.

Here’s how Rifts® Special Order Products will work. In most cases, we have to order a limited quantity to make manufacturing and shipping cost effective (we can’t make just one at a time, but can make a dozen at a time). That means when we have a sufficient number of “Special Orders” we can have them made in a week and shipped in another week or two. And with Autumn and Winter and the holidays coming up fast, this might be a good time to order things like Reporter Bags, Embroidered Hoodies, caps and Three-Season Jackets. Enjoy and think Christmas gifts. Please Note: Your credit card will not be charged until the Special Order is in actual manufacturing.

Rifts Glitter Boy Jacket Rifts Glitter Boy Jacket

Rifts® Glitter Boy in Flames Jacket

A 3-Season Jacket – Winter, Fall and Spring – any Rifts® fan would be proud to wear.

Rifts Glitter Boy Zipper Hoodie Rifts Glitter Boy Zipper Hoodie

Rifts® Glitter Boy in Flames “Zipper Hoodie”

A Gildan or Fruit of the Loom hoodie (depending on availability) suitable for Fall and Spring wear (or if you are Kathy Simmons, Winter too). This is the same design as the Rifts® jacket with the Rifts® logo on the front and the big, Glitter Boy in Flames image on the back for almost half the price as the jacket. Both Chuck Walton and Kathy Simmons have their Rifts® hoodie for the Fall. Shouldn’t you?

Rifts Embroidered Cap Gold Rifts Logo

Rifts® Baseball Cap – Black Cap, “Gold” Rifts® Logo

I (Kevin Siembieda) am not a baseball cap guy, but I love this cap and have been wearing mine on my morning walks. I like the comfortable fit and I do not seem to sweat as much wearing this cap compared to others I have tried. (The trail I take has me walking into the morning sun, so I need a cap.) I prefer the gold logo, but red was the hot seller at Gen Con.

Rifts Embroidered Cap Red Rifts Logo

Rifts® Baseball Cap – Black Cap, “Red” Rifts® Logo

The same style of cap with the words Rifts® with the swish through it. The embroidered “red” baseball cap was the favorite among consumers at Gen Con.
