It has been another week thus another weekly update is upon us.
To those who take issue with what I say here, I do not care, these are my opinions. Unless you pony up real information to refute my opinions then frankly don't post (and none of this "well I could tell you buy my NDA won't let me" as that is essentially going NUH-UH! and adds ZERO to any discussion going on)
That said, here we go my little Palladiumites

"We’ve all been super-busy this week on many different fronts: juggling production of several books, assigning work for upcoming books, advertising, a number of business matters, Robotech®, Bizantium, The Rifter®, convention schedules and logistics. "
Uh "we work SO hard for YOU the fans"....does anyone recall when they haven't been "super busy"? I don't....
" It has been nonstop for me. Oh, and I squeezed in a podcast interview."
"I work SO hard"....not for nothing but honestly if you are SOOOO busy why the hell are you taking time out of your super busy day/week to do something that does not actually get you any real return on the time spent? Especially when any "podcast interview" I have heard you in essentially is what you post here just in audio?
"Rifter® Super-Subscription Drive – ENDS next weekend – February 28, 2015 – place your orders – get FREE gifts – have fun"
Again this is a REALLY good deal for those living in the US and I fully recommend to those people to buy into it. It is worth it in my opinion.
However I make a 50/50 call that they extend it evne if only for a few days.
"Podcast interview with Kevin Siembieda on ThisWeekInGeek.net"
Again, why, if you are SO busy, would you do this? Especially since the topics covered really do nothing to promote you, your company or your product.
"UPDATE: Chaos Earth® Rise of Magic™ – Ships Next Week – February 24, 2015"
It is always good to have a book back in stock but I still do not like how it's being portrayed as a "release" as opposed to just "back in print" regardless of the changes made.
"UPDATE: Chaos Earth® Resurrection™ sourcebook – spring release"
Well again, Spring TECHNICALLY runs until June 19th roughly so....
"UPDATE: Bizantium and the Northern Islands™ – Getting close"
So not February and is still possibly an April release though it looks like it will be mid to late March... gotcha (though this was supposed to be out what? last October or so?)
"UPDATE: The Rifter® #69"
Art has been assigned.....so If we are lucky we will see it in April? Maybe?
"UPDATE: The Rifter® #70 and beyond . . ."
The real question is will you let him actually do it on his own? Also when did he come back to work for Palladium? I thought he left to pursue Hollywood? I understand doing freelance work but it seems as of the last few weeks he is back full time?
"UPDATE: Robotech®: Expeditionary Force Marines™ Sourcebook"
April? HAHAHAHAHAHA...oh that was a good one....
"UPDATE: The Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Rulebook is available now"
Uh...ok. Unless you have the minis the book is next to useless but alright.
Maybe plan to release some Cardstock Minis like what MADMANMIKE has been doing for quick pick up games for those who just buy the book?
"UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™"
and here we go ..
"It is available in stores across the USA and Canada, and soon in Europe and Australia."
Unless you had an agreement in place for your distributors to not sell outside of North America then guess what, no, it has been for sale everywhere for months now, please get a damn clue in this regard. It has only been pointed out to you for months yet you STILL do not acknowledge it.
"More online support for the Robotech® RPG Tactics™ game is coming in the days and weeks ahead."
Let's hope this includes a PDF of the FAQ as a LOT of people want it printable and not on your forums where they REALLY do not want to have to go to.
"RRT Europe!"
"Australian and all other Overseas Backers, we must have any address change by February 28!"
This has just been a damnable farce.
"UPDATE: ROBOTECH® at AdeptiCon – March 19-22, 2015, Chicago – www.adepticon.org"
I hope this goes off well and makes a mark on the mini scene for RRT I really do...
"UPDATE: DriveThruRPG.com – FREE Robotech® RPG Tactics™ color guides, detailed and comprehensive building instructions, The Rifter® #59 and more are available now"
Unless you are offering up non out of print relatively current books...and while it is good that you are offering some online material....catch up and let me know when you do, otherwise I am not interested all that much in this.
"UPDATE: 2015 Palladium Open House (POH) – May 15-17, 2015 – at the Palladium warehouse in Westland, Michigan"
Passport stuff is in the processes, though I think maybe they'd rather me (the office staff that is) not show up heh...
"That’s all for now"
If there is more to talk about, and considering you already have indicated it takes you HOURS to write these things, why not tell us instead of telling there is more and not telling us...seriously....what more is there? Telling IS the point of these updates isn't it?
Until next week
