Back orders shipped Wednesday, November 28, 2007.
One of the most popular and requested Rifts® World Books, Juicer Uprising™ has been updated to be 100% compatible with RUE.
It is only 26 days to Christmas and to insure YOU get your Surprise Package in time for Christmas, you should place your orders before December 14th!
Media Mail can take 7-14 days to deliver (and sometimes longer, sometimes less, don’t take a chance, order soon).
Priority Mail costs more but delivery is guaranteed in THREE days. However, don’t forget that does NOT include Sundays, and with the holidays you might want to give yourself 4-5 days just in case. And don’t forget, it may take Palladium a day or two to process and ship your order, and orders placed on Friday night, Saturday or Sunday do NOT ship until Monday or Tuesday. We are only human, you know.
Express Mail will get your Surprise Package to you lickety split: 1, 2, or 3 day depending on location and how soon we can ship your Grab Bag.
UPS – regular ground gets to most places in 3-4 days. West coast 5-6 days (not counting weekends). These packages are also easily traced, tracked and are the most reliable method of shipping.
UPS – 1, 2, or 3 day delivery costs more, of course, but is very efficient.
But the point is, why pay more for Next Day/Express Delivery when your can order in the next week or two and still get you Surprise Package before Christmas?
Note: All delivery dates are for delivery in the USA. NO promises for orders shipped to any other country (though you should have time too if you order by December 7).
We are ready for the Christmas rush so order those Grab Bags by the truck load and we’ll ship ‘em out as fast as we can. As always, Kevin Siembieda reads EVERY SINGLE Surprise Package order, selects the books and surprises himself, signs and helps ship them all out. Do not delay.
Yikes, we should have reminded people about Palladium’s awesome Christmas cards and Rifts® 41 cent Glitter Boy stamps weeks ago, but it’s still not too late.
How cool is it to send your gaming buddy or sci-fi pal a Rifts® Christmas Card or holiday greetings? And with a Glitter Boy stamp to boot. That’s what Kevin Siembieda is doing this year and folks are loving it.

Events in games they’ve run, convention stories, working for Palladium, etc. Should be fun.
That’s live – December 3 – 6:00 PM EST.
And remember, all podcasts are downloadable so you can listen to them anytime.
An overview of China and the Hells of the Yama Kings brought to Rifts Earth, tons of Chinese demons, ghosts and spirits, adventure ideas and fun.
The secrets of the Cyber-Knights revealed: Summon Psi-Sword, Psionic Powers, Cyber-Armor, Cyber-Knight Zen Combat, Dream Visions, Squires and Mentoring, their Code of Chivalry, variant Knights, and more. Also learn about the fractured fellowship – the schism within the knighthood caused by the Coalition’s Siege on Tolkeen, as well as Fallen Knights. More detailed information, background and equipment than what is touched upon in Rifts® Ultimate Edition.
Naruni Enterprises is a famous, trans-dimensional weapons dealer from the Three Galaxies. Despite their weapons, armor and vehicles being blacklisted by the CS, and Naruni Arms Dealers being the target of CS bounties and assassins, Naruni Enterprises has returned to Rifts Earth.
This time it’s personal, as the Naruni are looking to stick it to the Coalition States, Northern Gun and others who helped the CS oust them from the planet before the Siege on Tolkeen. And they’re doing it by selling weapons and armor to all of the Coalition’s enemies.
Progress on Dyval™ continues. Only about 25% left to finish!
Dyval™ is another dimension of Hell, the next book in the Minion War™ series, and is every bit as fantastic as Hades. Deevils as you have never imagined them before. A hellish dimension different from Hades, but just as horrible. The Deevil Host, evil monsters and minions, Deevil society, monstrous War Steeds, magic and more. Much, much more. Should go to the printer soon. Maybe we’ll toss out a teaser online in the next week or two.
The softcover edition of Rifts® and the Megaverse® is just as gorgeous as the two hardcover editions, and a steal at only $22.95 for the quality and amount of material. Bring back memories of your favorite games, get ideas from page after page of artwork, including concept art and designs, and enjoy the commentaries.
The fifty dollar hardcover edition is limited to 300 copies signed by John Zeleznik and Kevin Siembieda. It is the same quality as the Masterwork edition, but does NOT include original artwork and is not numbered.
Each of the 199 copies of the “Masterwork” edition comes with a one-of-a-kind, original concept drawing (pencil sketch, inked rough, etc.) that was originally created by renowned artist, John Zeleznik, specifically for one of the paintings or illustrations that appears in the book! To our knowledge, NO publisher has ever offered any of the original sketches and drawings used to create the artwork depicted in the art book. This unprecedented collector’s item makes a great gift for that, “I own everything Palladium,” collector, as well as serious fans of Palladium Books or John Zeleznik.
The artwork is assigned and being created, the cover is being tweaked, the research and note making continues, and bits of first draft writing are finished. Sorry, we cannot get this new RPG out before Christmas, but it WILL be released in January, 2008. The artwork is looking fantastic.
The role-playing game will pick up where the DVD movie begins. The return of the Robotech Expeditionary Force, the separation of the SDF-3 from the rest of the fleet, and everything else that is part of Robotech® The Shadow Chronicles®.
