Palladium Books® Weekly Update – Nov. 5, 2015

By Kevin Siembieda

I hope your Halloween was full of fun. Our Halloween was awesome, if exhausting. Despite off and on light rain and cool temperatures, we had several hundred trick-or-treaters and just as many adults come to enjoy our display and get a fist full of candy. It was wonderful. Wayne, Alex, Chuck, Julius and the entire Palladium crew were there to dine and enjoy the festivities along with other friends and family. I think Chuck, Thom and my pal Phil were having as much fun as anyone. It was also nice to see Gwen and Bob, Joy and Gary and a host of other friends and neighbors. I think everyone was impressed by the multitude of costumed trick-or-treaters (I estimate around 500 kids, plus adults). All of them were so excited about our sprawling display. It is a very fun experience seeing all those smiling faces. It’s on par with the Palladium Open House. How cool is that?

I can only accept part of the accolades, though. Kathy Simmons is the true mastermind behind it all. And I do mean mastermind. The life-sized figures she makes are amazing (the Minotaur and Medusa scene is new this year), her lighting is dynamic, and her hard work to put it all together is a labor of love. (You can see more of her handiwork at Queenofghouls.com and on her Queen of Ghouls ebay store, including some Christmas items.) I’m more like Igor to her Doctor Frankenstein, helping where I can, offering ideas and helping to set the scene and add details like blood and tatters, and re-painted masks. That’s why she is the Queen of Ghouls. Still, we make a darn good team.

UPDATE: Christmas Surprise Packages

We got our first individual order for 10 Surprise Packages last week. We usually see three or four maniacs order 5, 8 or 10 Grab Bags, but not this early in the season. And often it’s people who order 2-4, and then order another 2-4 Surprise Packages, not 10 in one order. Cool. We are seeing the number of orders for Christmas Surprise Packages steadily picking up every day, too. That’s great, because we love doing this for you.

We see a lot of you ordering early and using Media Mail now, when the speed of delivery does not matter. That is smart, because after Thanksgiving, we do NOT recommend the use of Media Mail. It is the least reliable method of shipping and during the holiday season can take 3-6 weeks to arrive. If you’re looking to save some money, order now and ship via Media Mail. That said, I personally recommend UPS. It’s a bit more money, but the most reliable and fastest method of shipping and is automatically insured.

Tell all of your gaming pals about the Surprise Package offer and get one or two for yourself. This is a wonderful way to try new games, new settings, fill in holes in your collection, and of course, get a pile of RPG titles for your gaming friends and loved ones. We’re seeing a lot of parents ordering for their children and teenagers who are just getting into our games. Fantastic, we love seeing a new generation of gamers. Keep the orders coming in. Christmas is creeping up faster than you might think. It’s what? Three weeks till Thanksgiving and 7 weeks till Christmas. Yikes, where did this year go?

What is a Palladium Christmas Surprise Package?

A bargain and fun for you, and our way of saying thank you to our loyal fans. We love delivering a little Christmas cheer 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.

$86-$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-six dollars ($86) 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 $90-$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. Ordering now gives you ample time to try out a Surprise Package if you are new to them, and you avoid the holiday rush. We always try to make each one truly special, as the thousands of you who have ordered in the past know well. If you have never ordered a Surprise Package before, give it a try early, because you’ll be blown away and probably want to order a few more! 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 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: Chaos Earth® Resurrection – November release

Chaos Earth® Resurrection™ is being typeset and laid out even as you read this. Goes to the printer on Friday or Monday. A special thanks to Brett Caron for pitching in on this one, and to the author, Taylor White, for a wealth of inspiring and scary ideas and adventure.

The first sneak preview of Chaos Earth® Resurrection™ is available now, for free, on DriveThruRPG.com for your enjoyment. We will post a second one this weekend.

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

Also well underway. Artwork assigned. Editing and details being worked on. The Rifter® #71 & 72 Double Issue is going to be a nice mix of source material and fun. 224 pages worth that includes player and G.M. tips, along with stuff for Splicers®, Palladium Fantasy®, Dead Reign®, a Rifts® short story as a sort of prelude to the new Rifts® sourcebooks coming, and more. Even Julius and I are contributing to this issue. A November release. In production.

UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics

Nothing new to report at this time. A Wave Two release in the second Quarter of 2016 would be ideal. In fact, we’re planning to use its release as an opportunity to relaunch the game line with more support and an organized play program.

We’re a small company and have to juggle our workload and production schedules. Right now we are finishing a couple of RPG books, but in a few weeks, we’ll be turning our full attention back to Robotech® RPG Tactics. Keep the faith!

UPDATE: Other books

As I said in the last Weekly Update, Rifts® Coalition States: Heroes of Humanity is the next book I finish, with Rifts®: The Disavowed to quickly follow. We have two Palladium Fantasy® projects in development, two Heroes Unlimited titles, several Splicers® and other titles kicking around, as well as a bunch of stuff for Rifts® and other game lines. If the books you are looking forward to aren’t mentioned (like Beyond the Supernatural or Chaos Earth®), please don’t think they aren’t on our mind. They most certainly are. We just can’t list everything, each update.

More than 100 games and sourcebooks available as PDFs – on DriveThruRPG.com

PDFs of dozens of Rifts® titles, the Minion War™ series, all of the Dead Reign® (Zombie Apocalypse) books, plus Heroes Unlimited™, Palladium Fantasy RPG®, The Mechanoids®, Splicers®, The Rifter® and much more are available on DriveThruRPG.com.

The Rifter® #63 and The Rifter® #64 are now available as PDF titles. A couple of free Chaos Earth® Resurrection sneak previews are also available, as are previews of a number of other Palladium titles.

DriveThruRPG.com already offers 120+ Palladium Books products available as PDFs with more coming soon. Plus FREE support for Robotech® RPG Tactics™ and other Palladium game lines with supplemental material, FREE previews, Game Master packages, paper miniatures and book titles like the Coalition Wars®/Siege on Tolkeen™ series, Splicers® RPG, The Rifter® issues #1-64 (with more to come), and first edition rules of the Rifts® RPG, Beyond the Supernatural™ RPG, Heroes Unlimited™ RPG, The Palladium Fantasy RPG®, and related 1st edition sourcebooks for each. And more! Like what? Like Fantasy Paper Miniatures and Game Master Kits for digital download. They are available only as PDF files and were designed special to help you run your games and build campaigns. There are also sneak previews of books and other good stuff. Check it out! And let other gamers know they are available too. We’ll be making more available on DriveThruRPG in the weeks and months to come, so take a look on a regular basis.

Palladium Collectibles available in Kevin’s Online Toy & Collectibles Store

A bunch of new collectibles have been added to my Ebay Store, with more to come. This includes one-of-a-kind original artwork, prints, Rifts® and Robotech® artwork by Kevin Long, me and others. There is also a range of limited editions, rare book titles and limited edition hardcovers, toys and more that are all being added to my online store over the next several weeks, so keep an eye out. Alex and I will keep adding items as our busy schedules allow, but we have a lot of fun collectibles available now and coming soon. Items include original art, out of print titles, redlined proofreader photocopies signed by me and the staff, signed manuscripts with editors’ corrections, some original art, hardcover books (including Rifts® Lemuria, Northern Gun™ One, Northern Gun™ Two, Megaverse® in Flames™, Beyond the Supernatural™ Gold, Rifts® Machinations of Doom™ Gold and Rifts® Ultimate Gold) and other items available just in time for the approaching holidays. There are also hundreds of toys and action figures, all from my personal archives and collection. Take a look every weekend for new items added. Many make perfect gifts for the upcoming holidays, birthdays and anniversaries.

Brandon Aten’s Kickstarter – Wild Skies RPG: Europa Tempest – has been funded

Authors Brandon Aten and Matthew Orr are pleased that their first Kickstarter has been funded. Now the work to finish and release this fun game is at hand. Good luck, guys, I’m sure it will be good stuff.

That’s all for now

I’m diving into finishing my contributions to the Double-Sized issue of The Rifter® #71-72 and then I work to finish Rifts® Heroes of Humanity and Rifts® The Disavowed. What’s after that? Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans, Robotech®, Chaos Earth® First Responders, Palladium Fantasy®, Splicers®, Heroes Unlimited™ and more.

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.

C.M. in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, writes (in part): Hello all at Palladium. I used to play your games a long time ago. I have not played a Palladium game in more than 15 years! I recently was reminded how much I love your books and the obvious care you put into your products. I stumbled on the Gateway to the Megaverse® Podcast through Ramon Perez’s website . . . I’m trying to get my current long-term gaming group into Palladium . . . have one of our G.M.s run a Rifts® game. I want to play a Gosai Rifter or Shifter! I hope you are all doing well. Thanks for creating a wonderful universe to play in.

[Our pleasure, C.M. Happy to have you rediscover Palladium’s role-playing games. A lot of that seems to be going around lately, which is awesome. Keep that imagination burning bright. – KS]

J.H. in Fairfield, New Jersey, writes: Rifts®, our gaming group got reintroduced to the setting and I can’t get enough! Merry Christmas.

[Hi, J.H. Very happy you’ve rediscovered Rifts®. Enjoy and Merry Christmas to you and your gaming group. Ho, ho, ho – KS]

E.R. in Roy, Washington, writes (in part): I love your Christmas Grab Bag. I’m so glad to see that you still do this. I love your company. I love your books. I’ve been playing since 1997. Top three favorites, in no particular order, would be Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game® and Robotech®.

[Hey, E.R., we love passionate fans like you. Enjoy your grab bag and game on. – KS]

A.R. in Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: Been a Robotech® and Rifts® man since their first printings. Robotech® RPG Tactics reawakened my love for those franchises.

[Hi A.R., that’s great to hear. We love both of those game settings, ourselves, and have big plans for both in the New Year. – KS]

M.M. in Plymouth, Wisconsin, writes: Thank you all so much for all you do! You all are awesome. Please keep doing all that you do and know that your work is appreciated and envied by people around the world.

[Wow, high praise, M.M. Thank you. We don’t always succeed, but we always try to produce games that people love. It’s nice to be appreciated. The last few years have been a struggle to produce all the games we want to release, but that should change in the year ahead. Enjoy a wonderful holiday season. – KS]

J.M. in Grand Forks, North Dakota, writes: We have been playing Palladium for over 20 years here, and have used the system to teach new players and convert old gamers to the system. Love it. Currently in our third year of an epic Fantasy campaign.

[Thanks for the kind words and years of support, J.M. I hope your epic campaign continues to be a blast. – KS]

E.T. in Flint, Michigan, writes: I have all the Rifts® and Chaos Earth® books, and this (the Palladium Christmas Surprise Package) is a cool thing you do for your fans.

[Well, E.T., Palladium fans are the best in the whole world, so we love doing the Surprise Package offer. Happy holidays. – KS]

M.R. in Fayetteville, North Carolina, writes: Keep up the great support and content, guys. Merry Christmas!

[Will do, M.R., and Merry Christmas to you and yours. – KS]

S.R. in Vancouver, Washington, writes: I’m looking to do a Rifts® campaign here soon for the first time as a G.M., and just want to get set up doing that. This (the Surprise Package) is a great opportunity. Thank you.

[Good luck with your game, S.R. Just relax, trust your gut, listen to your players and riff off of them, and you’ll do just fine. Keep that imagination burning bright. – KS]

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.

Zombie Time!

Think you can survive the Zombie Apocalypse? Do you have a desire to kick some zombie butt? Then you want the Dead Reign® RPG – available from Palladium Books® or as PDFs from DriveThruRPG.com. There are currently six titles that are as much fun to read as they are to play. And more are coming.

Dead Reign® RPG – Core Rules – everything you need to know to play

Experience the nightmare of being stalked by the living dead. Who can you trust? Where can you go to be safe? How do you fight the dead? Find out in Dead Reign® – a complete role-playing game that captures the horror, suspense and trauma of the post-apocalyptic world dominated by zombie hordes. And the zombies? More than what you may expect. All of them deadly.

Dead Reign® Sourcebooks

– Expand the world, many more settings, adventure ideas, new zombies and danger

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

Missing your issue of The Rifter® #71? Well, it’s coming along with The Rifter® #72 as a special, Double Issue – 224 pages. Probably an end of October or beginning of November release.

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.

Chaos Earth Resurrection

COMING – Rifts® Chaos Earth® Resurrection

In the shattered depths of Wisconsin, survivors are besieged by the dead come back to life. Zombies. But not just any type of zombie, zombies done Rifts-style. And unless the source of the zombie plague can be found and neutralized by NEMA defenders, North America may be overrun by the dead.

This was actually something Taylor White and I have been kicking around for years, even before we released the Dead Reign® RPG line. We think you’ll love it.

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.
