This all started as a result of a post on the All Things Palladium Books Forum in reply to "So, what happens now..." by Braden.
Maryann wrote: Talk to Mr. Wujcik and Mr. Lucas about Ninjas & Superspies, both had promised manuscripts that haven't materialized.
From there I asked everyone the following:
My question is, what do we (the posters to the N&S and MC Forum) want to see in the future of the genre?
Way back in 2000, several people were working on projects for N&S, these were mentioned specificially:
Kuseru Satsujin wrote:Several of us are writing material for it. I am doing for Japan what Mystic China did for China.
Ronin is doing the same for Korea.
Mantisking keeps cranking out so much new stuff, I am suprised he doesn't have multiple Rifter submissions out.
Erik Growen, while concentrating on developing Recon, is also doing lots of new N&S adventures as well as updating the mercenary side of N&S.
Danzig138 hosts the Palladium Martial Arts Netbook, but I don't know if he has anything else in the works.
Zeus and Mephisto also do occasional work on material for N&S.
We Know Erick Wucjik is going to China to finish the long awaited Mystic China sequel.
And BCL (of Rifter #7 infamy) is working on a Hong Kong Action Theatre supplement for N&S.
There are probably a few other writers out there that have stuff in the works, not to mention that Rifts: China and Rifts: Japan 2 are slated for eventual release.
So, I thought I'd kick it out again both because of the old list of projects was interesting, the lack of any N&S material appearing in that time is interesting, and people still want to see stuff for N&S, so this is some very interesting information regarding the possibility of seeing stuff for N&S.
