Palladium Books® Weekly Update – June 30, 2011

By Kevin Siembieda

I hate it when I have distressing news to share. We are all working so hard to get great new product to press and make Palladium strong, it stinks when things don’t go well. Plus, we’ve had so much bad luck and trouble these past several years that — I don’t know about you — but I’m so done with trouble. Anyway, you are part of the Palladium family and have told me time and time again to keep you in the loop, whether its good and bad, so here’s a mixed bag of news.

UPDATE: Alex. As reported in the last Weekly Update, Alex hasn’t been doing well. He has lost weight, has had trouble sleeping, feels exhausted and is suffering from a few other things. For a long time, he and all of us chalked it up to the stress and anxiety of the house fire, family concerns and the expense and details of house repair after the fire. However for the last couple of months, he and I started to fear something else was going on.

After several medical examinations and tests, and it appears Alex is ill. He’s suffering from a chronic blood disease called Polychromasia. Basically, his blood is too thick. Way too thick. His blood platelets are giant and all of this can result in blood clots that can cause a host of other problems. The disease is also responsible for the exhaustion, heightened anxiety, and other problems Alex has been experiencing. It’s serious, especially at the moment with so many elevated blood issues. It could be worse. Alex and I are thankful and positive that the disease has been identified, there is no sign of cancer, and we now have an active plan for getting the disease under control. Over the next few months the doctors are confident they can get Alex’s blood chemistry to where it belongs and help him manage the illness. Alex’s spirit is good.

I have been helping Alex with this and will continue to take him for treatments and doctor visits. He’s staying with me at my apartment where we crash after a long day’s work to watch TV and DVDs. It’s been nice.

UPDATE: Alex’s house. Alex and family should be able to move back into the fully repaired and renovated house. The house, damaged in a fire, is looking awesome. The family is all excited about the quality workmanship, and work should be finished by the weekend. I think all that is left is some interior painting and carpet installation. Oh, and getting the Certificate of Occupancy from the City. We don’t know how soon the inspector will arrive to sign off on the approval to move back in.

The house looks fabulous. The folks doing the work at discount prices have done a top-notch job. As you may recall, the insurance on the house had lapsed, so the substantial cost of repairs is all coming out of Alex’s pocket. And now he has medical bills. Yikes. Poor guy, but we’re helping Alex out as best we can on all fronts. I imagine the family will add new furniture, appliances and wardrobe over the months to come. I’ve pointed them to checking out the Salvation Army store and garage sales. Heck, they are thrilled just to be able to get back home. Being back home should take a lot of additional stress off Alex and make him feel more comfortable, so things are definitely looking up.

UPDATE: Release logjam. As you may imagine, all of this has taken Alex, me and, really, all of us, off our stride. I’ve been writing well, but slow and all of us have been distracted and our time spent on many matters. I know it always seems like there is some reason Palladium is late on releases, but it is what it is. We’re a small company and we’re like family. People have to come first. Then, when it comes to books, the quality has to be there. I’m sorry, but I can’t bring myself to release inferior products. The upcoming books are outstanding and I’m not going to short-change them.

We are killing ourselves to finish and release The Rifter® #55, Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms™ and Lemuria before we go to Gen Con. Robotech® New Generation Sourcebook will be the next release.

Then, Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook™ and Megaverse® in Flames. After that, I’m not sure what. Maybe Mysteries of Magic Two, Rifts® Chaos Earth First Responders, Dead Reign Sourcebook Three, and/or a couple of surprises.

UPDATE: Online Sales. Without new product, sales remain up and down, but folks sure liked the Palladium 30th Birthday Celebration Sale, giving us an excellent weekend of sales. The Canadian postal strike coming to an end should help boost Canadian sales a notch too. Fourth of July weekend is usually slow because everyone’s out at the beach and having parties, but as soon as new titles start to come out in July, we should be fine. 

UPDATE: Back in Print: We are planning to bring several titles back into print, including Mutant Underground™ for Heroes Unlimited™, Xiticix Invasion™ for Rifts® and the out of print titles in the Coalition War series over the next month or two.

The following titles are also recently back in print and ready to ship:

UPDATE: Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms™. I’ve been writing 8-10 hours a day for three weeks now, but writing is going slow and I’m still not done. One reason is the obvious distractions, another is this book is packed with rules, weapons, powers, O.C.C.s, R.C.C.s, monsters, information and tons of detail. That translates to lots and lots of stats and rules and they always take a long time to do right. Plus, I want to make this book super-awesome. I just hope I’m not overthinking things or overworking the book.

All the artwork is in and looks awesome. This week I went in to tweak vampire weaknesses, finished how to kill a vampire and destroy the body so it’s never coming back, and finished the weapons. The weapon blocks are expanded with more wood, silver and special weapons and includes the cost of everything from a wooden stake and silver bullets to Techno-Wizard weapons. I need to finish stats on vampires and Vampire Hunters next, and dive into the Vampire Kingdoms themselves.

UPDATE: The Rifter® #55. All the art has come in and looks great. Wayne is doing final editing and then layout and sending it to the printer is next. We are still looking for new contributors to future issues of The Rifter®. That could be you. The Rifter® is designed to publish “fan” created source material, so what are you waiting for? Send us your 8-25 page articles. The October Horror issue is next.

UPDATE: Rifts® World Book 32: Lemuria. ALL the artwork is being worked on even as you read this. I met with Chuck Walton Wednesday to review his art and discuss final approvals and art direction. We had a positive meeting he blew me away with his artwork. I’ve also approved sketches from Mike Mumah and Kent Burles which are also looking great. I even did a few bits and pieces of reorganizing and rewriting on Lemuria for a day (I needed a break from vampires), and spoke to the author to make sure I had all of his rewrites, which I did. Lemuria is coming along nicely. It is another title I think is very different than what people are expecting.

UPDATE: Robotech®. I feel terrible that Robotech® has languished. Based on some Facebook and other posts I’ve seen, some fans are concerned that there may be no new Robotech® books released this year. Let me put your fears aside. As soon as I’m done with Lemuria and return from Gen Con, Robotech® New Generation is the next book we work on. It’s in my schedule. I also hope to release one additional Robotech® title by the end of the 2011 and will work hard to do so. I promise.

UPDATE: DriveThruRPG.com: The Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms Sneak Preview should be going up as a FREE download in the next week, but maybe not with getting The Rifter® done and taking care of Gen Con preparations. Don’t forget, The Rifter® Number Zero and Hades Map Pack were recently made available on DriveThruRPG.com. DriveThruRPG offers more than 90 out of print titles (and a few that are not) as PDF downloads. It is a good resource for getting The Rifter® #1-48 and to fill in your RPG library with first edition copies of Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy®, Heroes Unlimited™, and other game lines, as well as books such as Nightbane® Book Four: Shadows of Light™ and both versions of the The Mechanoids® RPG (1985) and The Collected Mechanoid Invasion® Trilogy (1981-1983).

Gen Con Indy is coming up FAST August 4-7

There are all kinds of things we need to do over the next two weeks to prep for Gen Con Indy. I still have to place orders for tables, carpeting, electricity, truck rental, display items and other stuff. We are excited about being there again and hope a lot of Palladium fans come by the booth to get new and old product, specialty items, and chat and get autographs. Hey, we go to these events for you. Please spread the word that Palladium Books is attending Gen Con® Indy and encourage people to visit our booth. Join the fun. FYI: I don’t think there are any “official” Palladium gaming events on the schedule but there are always a bunch of “unofficial” games.

Palladium Books is Booth 1125 at Gen Con Indy.

Palladium people you’ll get to meet include:

  • Kevin Siembieda
  • Wayne Smith
  • Nick Bradshaw (artist)
  • Michael Mumah (artist, tentative)
  • Brandon Aten (writer)
  • Matthew Clements (writer)
  • And others to be announced.

UPDATE: Facebook page exceeds 3,000 likes. What can I say, people are enjoying Palladium’s Facebook page. I hope you are one of them.

UPDATE: Palladium’s website. Things have been running smooth for a while now and I’m happy folks are loving our new website. We will continue to make tweaks, improvements and add features, so keep your eyes peeled.

QueenofGhouls.com – Kathy Simmons continues to whip up new creations. This week I think a pirate monster is going to join the recent addition of a pair of happy scarecrows (one already sold). The Queen of Ghouls has plans for more zombies, skeleton pirates, wizards, werewolves and monsters in the weeks to come. Halloween is creeping up fast.

Behind the Scenes Report: You’ve been hearing about secret projects and books in development, well here are two you are likely to see this fall: Rifts® Antarctica (manuscript done) and Rifts® New Navy™ (manuscript in final stages of completion). There’s a lot more in development too, including books for Nightbane®, Dead Reign™, Palladium Fantasy® and Robotech®. And that’s all I’m willing to reveal at this time. There is much more happening behind the scenes.

I’ll be trying to finish up on vampires and start on Lemuria. Wayne will be in for at least one day on the weekend. And we still plan to have three new releases in July.

Keep the faith, game on and have a fun and safe Independence Day weekend.

The Queen of Ghouls: Life-Sized Halloween Props

Check out the new creations by Palladium’s very own Kathy Simmons. See her zombie doctor and other new zombies, Jack Skellington and Sally, and more. New creations are on the drawing board, and so is a new website. Each Halloween prop is truly life-sized (most are 6 feet or taller – Jack is almost 8 feet) and seems almost alive.

Each is an all-weather, life-sized Halloween prop that can handle rain and snow, and is a one-of-a-kind work of art (no two are exactly the same). Each looks frighteningly “real.” All come apart and fold down to slightly larger than a king-size pillow for easy storage. Comes with easy instructions, a plastic storage bag, and the lawn stake to stand it up in your front yard. Indoor stand sold separately.

Types of “Ghouls” include: Zombies (all kinds!), killer clowns, wizards, witches, devils, grave ghouls, scarecrows, executioners, mad doctors, deadly nurses, vampires, werewolves, and more. Kathy's also now offering an array of hand-painted Halloween signs, signs with heads and bodies hanging from them, witch's brewing pots, Halloween centerpieces and more. Best of all, her high quality creations are much more affordable and imaginative than most competitors or mass produced items in a store, making them affordable Halloween fun.

If you think the photos online look good, you should see them in person. A typical “ghoul,” as she calls her creations, costs $129-$259. You can see some of her work at her Queen of Ghouls™ Ebay store – queenofghouls.com.
