Sale and News – Palladium Books® – Weekly Update – May 16, 2025
|
|
Big announcement on Monday. Please, watch for it. I have been teasing you with the coming of a big announcement for a couple of weeks now. The big reveal should come on Monday (or Tuesday). It is one of Palladium’s long-held secret projects that, like the return of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness RPG Redux editions, has been part of our five year business plan. It’s big. It’s fun. It’s exciting. And it’s something we cannot do alone. We’ll need your support, along with the considerable talents of our production partners to make it a reality. Watch for it Monday (or Tuesday).
We are so busy at the moment, that this Update is a short one.
SALE! For now, take advantage of Palladium’s current adventure focused sale for campaign building and deep discounts. It spans a few different Palladium game lines, not just Fantasy, and was inspired by dungeon crawls and the World’s Largest Dungeon crowdfunder (see more about both below).

Palladium Collectibles – at Kevin’s Online Toy & Collectibles eBay Store
|
|
I am adding new collectibles of all kinds to my Ebay store every few weeks. Some are Palladium negatives, rare and out of print books, original Palladium artwork, prints, posters, as well as other collectible toys, action figures, Nightmare Before Christmas items, one-of-a-kind proofreader copies, books, and other good stuff – including Erick Wujcik’s rare and sought after Amberzine #12-15. Check in every week or so to see what’s new. All items come from Kevin Siembieda’s personal collection.
One-of-a-kind Palladium Books negatives (special and rare collectibles). Negatives are always very popular items at the Palladium Open House, Gen Con, and conventions, and are catching on as rare collectibles, unique in and of themselves. Before digital printing, pages of a book were laid out by hand on a board, and each page was photographed.
-
Each negative is truly unique, attractive, and fun to have.
-
Own a piece of Palladium Books and RPG history you will treasure.
-
Each was used to print the very book you may have in your collection (1981-2004).
-
Each is signed in silver ink by Kevin Siembieda and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
-
Each negative is a one-of-a-kind work of art (on rare occasions, two-of-a-kind if a page or section of pages were replaced or a second edition was made).
-
Looks great matted or framed! Fits an 8x10 inch matt opening. Each neg is roughly 8 ½ x 11 inches.
-
Prices vary depending on the title, the art, and quality of the negative. Note: Many have scratches, or blemishes, and/or an opaque medium on the negative. Still, they look great and are a piece of RPG history. We recommend you carefully examine the photographs of each item to avoid disappointment. The negatives of many books are sold out or were never available.

Big stuff, fun stuff
We all hope you’ll be as excited as we are by the big announcement on Monday or Tuesday. To be honest, it’s not anything I ever thought was possible for Palladium Books, but that’s why I brought in Sean Owen Roberson as my business partner and Creative Director, and why we have been making other strategic maneuvers as we lay down the foundation for our business plan. It has all involved a lot of top secret planning, networking, and making valuable new business partners.
We have big things and new avenues of product and marketing, but fear not, Palladium’s key focus is, and always will be tabletop RPGs. And if I could share some of those plans with you, you’d probably faint. More to come. Keep the faith.
Enjoy the new Fantasy Adventures & Dungeon Crawl SALE spanning a few game lines and saving you money. Gotta run, but you keep your imaginations burning bright.
– Kevin Siembieda, Publisher, Game Designer, Writer and Friend
