We've completed our December 2018 edition of the Catalog of Palladium Books as a PDF. Just click on any book cover or item and it will take you to our store. Use it to help you decide what you'd like to put in your X-Mas Surprise Package order, or you can just order the books you want. m Alex Marci...

Honestly it seems like a smart move. They need to get more full products out the door and palladium being a small company something like the rifter takes a non trivial amount of their time/effort which impacts how fast they get other products produced. Until/unless they can start cranking out more ...

Jack Burton

I was going to ask how old that was, then I saw the post was from 2011. I don't understand how so much effort could be put into that and nothing ever came about from it.

Did you guys see that Palladium is doing a limited run of a few out-of-print books, Boxed Nightmares being one of them? That's pretty awesome! I wonder if the newspaper insert is going to be included in the special printing. Neat!

Since the system freaks out and crashes when I try to edit a huge post I will simply start over here with the basics that are being said over and over in different ways 1) the stance that he has a secret list that he bans on is a presumption of malice because it requires that the list be totally se...

Is there a way to purchase Palladium Store gift cards/certificates? I'm not seeing it in the store, and with the holidays coming up in a few months, I have a few friends who would probably like it to flesh out their collections. Also, I can't find the rates for shipping to Canada anywhere. Google b...

Did you all pick up on something that appeared in last week's Palladium Weekly Update? In his closing thoughts, Kevin said that after they get some books out, they'll focus on their 4 primary game lines, which are Rifts, Heroes Unlimited, Palladium Fantasy and Beyond the Supernatural. I can only hop...

It's too bad their Twitter feed has gone silent. The last tweet was from around the end of the Open House or thereabouts (April 2018). Not a good sign. I suspect Scott was maintaining that since his departure coincides with when it went silent.

Fishmalks are highly discouraged outside of TOON. And what is a Fishmalk in reference to this thread? Nonsense. It's all nonsense. Ohhh! I know this one! A Fishmalk is a crazy for the sake of being crazy character. One that's just an utter loon and has no bearing or motivation other than 'wooo hooo...

So I was talking to a friend of mine that I'm gming for and I asked him why he didn't take hand to hand: archery and he said he didn't know about it. I've spent about the last hour looking for it. But I can't remember where I saw it at. I think it was in a rifter. I know it's not in the giant book ...

Dunno what to say. You got me dead to rights on that one. Palladium offers much more than just one game.

Jack Burton

My take on how Zer0 Kay's statement can be applied (which I could be totally wrong about) is that it's absurd for people to claim to champion tolerance, such as some university students, then disrupt or even prevent a guest speaker they disagree with from appearing on campus because the students are...

I don't have profound spiritual beliefs as such, but I do think that somehow, someway, the universe keeps tabs on who wishes ill of who.

Can't argue with that.

I'd demonize those guys in a heartbeat. I was talking about American or allied politicians.

Unacceptable to whom? You or your group? I stand by the statement that it is, by its nature, over the line. The question was asked and I provided what I believe is the appropriate answer. I think this is what it comes down to. If any person in the group finds it uncomfortable or unacceptable then y...

I would say the moment you use a specific person from the real world (not just an unamed individual with a title, or a fictious person to hold that title) you are stepping over a line. Agreed.

Not necessarily game related, but I like 2. Have you ever seen the 1980's movie No Way Out with Kevin Costner and Sean Young? Mind blower... and there were only really two levels there. Perfect amount of intrigue and twists so as not to be confusing and lose the audience.

dunno about the bundle of holding ones specifically, but the splicers I Am Legion one i bought recently (about a week ago give or take) is searchable, but basically doesn't have bookmarks (i mean, it technically has some, but they're all for the advertisements in the back of the book, which i presu...

It's been my experience that every Palladium product I've bought from DrivethruRPG or Bundle of Holding is searchable. Some of the older scanned stuff wasn't bookmarked, however, but all the digital PDF editions are.

I sought some input for a Rifter submission a month ago for an updated weapons compendium.

It was all ...

Okay folks I'm here to tell you that...I'm back. Had a nice talk with Kevin about Gen Con 2018 and with HU fans about super beings in costume. I can tell you this we got a stuff pipeline and the goal is clear it out of material. Once we can do that we will focus on some HU stuff. Met some guys with...

I wasn't suggesting the entire HU rules system be changed, warped, distorted or scrapped. I was merely offering insight into a topic that most others do not have. Use that information as you will.

True But then again in real life being in the radius of a grenade is pretty much instant death. In real life people who get shot five or six times dont proceed to use kung-fu (which does more damage than the gun that shot them) to take out the 23 ninjas attacking them. In the real world you can't c...

I've been tased before during training for work. They don't do it anymore because people were getting hurt when they fell down like a sack of potatoes.

Does it really matter? Yes it does matter. Why have a rule if it's not enforced equally? Based on Shadowknight's intent, I disagree. Please understand I'm not looking to start an argument with anyone. I just think it's silly to make him feel like he's done something wrong for trying to better the M...

I have one character that I've played on and off for 20 years, and has reached level 15 through shenanigans. And her story still gets told from time to time. The GM said eventually she'd be fazed out, but she still has a daughter to find in the far off realm of Palladium Fantasy Sounds interesting....

It was just released on Drivethrurpg, so I snagged it. It'll make things soooo much easier. Thank you, Palladium!

Telekinetic leap adds to the base leap, but where can one find the base leap? I can't find anything in P2E. Maybe measure your own real-life leaps and use that as a basis? Don't hurt yourself.

I ask because it is listed as a Military skill and I think the ability to tail someone is valuable to a thief. Thieves can not take military skills.

Can we expect to see any of your stuff soon?

Jack Burton

I think discussing Palladium's version of the game will have no issues but discussing the new game and doing conversions to or from it are likely off limits (conversions certainly are at a minimum) Yes, you're right. I should've stated that. Just like trying to stat out Batman or Captain America......

Dead reign has a lot of death cult stuff/ beyond the supernatural also deals with cults and a lot of BTS rifter materials is cult related.

Does anyone know where I can find information about specific cults? Some examples of them? I seem to recall reading about some contemporary cults and their leaders, but I can't remember where that was now. It wasn't in any Palladium Fantasy or Rifts source material. That much I remember. Thanks!
