We are hitting on all cylinders on an array of products.
The Rifter® Super-Subscription Drive – Low Price – Free Gift
It only happens once a year – for a limited time – The Rifter® Super-Subscription Drive. And Palladium gamers are jumping at the opportunity. I’d like to think it is because The Rifter® has been so consistently good the last 8-10 issues, but I think it also has to do with the FREE gift selection we are offering this year. It’s pretty darn good, with a little bit for everyone. That’s awesome. Please keep the orders coming.
UPDATE: The Rifter® #65 – Ships Tomorrow
The Rifter® #65 Sneak Preview – available now on DriveThruRPG.com
BACK IN STOCK Reminder – Available now
Heroes Unlimited™ RPG – hundreds of powers, create any hero – Available now
Dragons and Gods™ – for Rifts® and Palladium Fantasy® – Available now
Rifts® Mystic Russia™ – Magic and mayhem galore – Available now
The Rifter® #50 – Special Anniversary Issue – Available now
UPDATE: Heroes Unlimited™ turns 30 years old
How many game companies have a game line that has been continuously in print for 30 years by the same publisher? Not many. What a privilege. And this our second one to achieve that milestone. The Palladium Fantasy RPG® turned 30 last year (and we have a couple surprises for you Fantasy fans coming). To celebrate Heroes Unlimited™ turning 30, each 2014 issue of The Rifter® will contain material for HU2. We are also releasing a commemorative, limited edition, signed and numbered, 30th Anniversary Hardcover – it will be available to ship in a week and a half. See complete details in the Palladium online store and elsewhere in this Update.
UPDATE: Heroes Unlimited™ 30th Anniversary Hardcover – Ships February 12
Our printer informs us the gorgeous, new HU2 Commemorative 30th Anniversary Hardcover Edition will arrive at the Palladium warehouse February 12. Just a short week and a half. Order yours today.
UPDATE: Rifts® Northern Gun™ Two – ships February
I’ve been tweaking and writing like a man possessed. Holy moley, am I fired up on this book. And is it ever packed with an outstanding array of power armor, vehicles, body armor, drones and gear. I should be getting the last of Chuck Walton’s artwork tomorrow, and a handful of other Palladium artists are busy finishing up a handful of last minute additions. Nice.
UPDATE: Rifts® Crossover: Megaverse® in Flames™ – ships March, 2014
I’ve been assigning the last of the artwork for Rifts® Megaverse® in Flames™, as well as doing some spot editing. I think this book will come together very quickly, and follow hot on the heels of the NG-2 release. This is another sourcebook that will surprise and please Rifts® fans.
UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™
Palladium will be sending out a separate announcement about Robotech® RPG Tactics™ that we think will make people happy. You can expect to see it later tonight or Friday.
UPDATE: Dead Reign™ Sourcebook 5: Graveyard Earth™
Graveyard Earth™ is one of the projects we’ve had on the down-low. It is written by Matthew Clements and it takes a look at the worldwide zombie apocalypse. It also asks and answers the question, if you were caught overseas, perhaps in the military, could you find your way back home, and what kind of arduous journey would that be? I approved the cover sketch yesterday and artist E.M. Gist will start painting away. More on this Dead Reign™ sourcebook in the weeks to come. Target release date is April, 2014.
Meanwhile, in a renewed effort to support all Palladium game lines, a different writer is working on a Dead Reign™ sourcebook for a fall release. And yes, that means we are looking at releasing one or two new sourcebooks each for Robotech®, Heroes Unlimited™, Palladium Fantasy® and Beyond the Supernatural™ and others in the year 2014.

Some Closing Thoughts
There is so much to do. We are all working in high gear and excited about the many new products in production and development. You don’t know half of what we hope to have in store for you in 2014. While I may tease you with comments like that, we hesitate to announce new projects in development until they are closer to actual release. There have been too many delays and disappointments in recent years, and we’re trying to break that cycle. We are working away on many things we believe will please and surprise. Some are long-awaited titles like the ones for BTS, others are new. Some are epic. Some are just fun.
Our sympathies to our friends in Georgia. Wow, what a winter mess. Michigan is supposed to be coming out of the deep freeze and rising into temperatures in the 20s Fahrenheit. One or two days might even hit the freezing mark, but with the somewhat warmer temps comes more stinking snow. An inch tonight and 3-5 over the weekend. We are so tired of cold and snow at this point. The really strange thing is we are seeing all kinds of springtime birds. We posted pictures on Facebook of the flock of robins that have been hanging around since December, which is crazy, and we’ve seen a number of other migratory birds that usually fly south and stay there till late February or March. That has included purple finches, house finches and starlings. Wild. I’m hoping it means an early spring is coming. Can’t wait. Till next week, game on.
