Ok...before I continue I will first state my usual don't like it don't read and I will say this.
IF your intention is to just post and spout off because you don;t like what is said then don't. I will NOT tolerate anyone coming in and posting in a way they full well know is likely to incite people into what happened last week. You want to post and discuss things then be civilized about it. I am all for discussing something in such a manner. If you can't be civilized and are going to just post to post and spout off (and those that do this know precisely who they are as the only times they seem to post is to do exactly this) then you will be dealt with. This however goes the other way too. To those who were incited by this type of behaviour....don't feed the trolls as then you are just playing into what they want.
I would also ask that were put a bit of a handle on using meme pics. It is getting on my and others nerves and is frankly pretty frickin annoying when several people decide to go on a meme spree.
That all being said, here we go my little palladiumites...

"It has been a long month and I’m feeling a bit worn out"
not for nothing but......maybe that is because you don't delegate enough to those around you so you can focus and maybe not feel so burned out?
"UPDATE: The Rifter® Super-Subscription Drive"
Said it before and will say it again....like the grab bags, this is really and excellent deal for those of you living in the US even if you already have the stuff that is being offered up as free gifts.
"LAST CHANCE to Get These Titles at a Discounted Price. Heroes Unlimited™ 30th Anniversary Gold and Palladium Fantasy® 30th Anniversary Elemental Green Hardcover – increase to $50.00 this Sunday"
Completely understandable why they are doing this, as I have said before.
"UPDATE: Rifts® Book of Magic™ – Available now"
I still think you are making a bigger deal about this than is necessary. A simple blurb about it would have sufficed in my opinion.
"UPDATE: Chaos Earth® Rise of Magic – February release"
Seems this is getting a pretty good gong over before reprint.
May I suggest you make a note and post what the changes are between the previous printing and this new one? Why? Because frankly I am getting tired of finding out about all sorts of shadow changes that occur and no one is ever told about with a number of them being significant enough to mess up games and such since players and GMs alike may have different printings and not know a damn thing about what was change if anything. A simple PDF, like the RUE errata and such, on the cutting room floor page of the website would be an excellent thing.
"UPDATE: Bizantium & the Northern Islands™ – Ships February, 2015"
Tick tock. Tick tock. 2 weeks to get it to the printer or the likelihood of this being a February release is essentially nil.
"UPDATE: The Rifter® #69 – February, 2015 release"
See above.
"UPDATE: The Rifter® #70 – Spring release"
You have a while but still, if you do not get this to teh printer by the end of May....it will be very hard pressed to be a "spring" release.
"UPDATE: Chaos Earth® Resurrection – Spring release"
The fact you seem to be suddenly working on this book which I do not recall even hearing about until pretty recently, effectively cements my frustration that Robotech Marines is apparently getting pushed back....again dammit.
"UPDATE: Robotech®: Expeditionary Force Marines™ Sourcebook"
See above about my frustration on this and to add...
Assign art NEXT WEEK and out by March, April at the latest? Dude you are currently working on TWO manuscripts as well as a Rifter (which has not had art assigned yet apparently) and you actually think you can get this much done in the next 12 weeks max when you have not shown yourself capable of this in....what nearly 20 years? Excuse me...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....ahem.
"UPDATE: Available now! New additional products and freebies on DriveThruRPG.com"
Until you start joining the industry you are in by making significantly more current of your catalogue available....I really don't care. The Paper minis and things are neat and I do think they are quite useful but dammit people have been asking you to do your actual books for YEARS. The time for discussion is over. Either admit you just don't want to do it or just do it already.
"UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™"
Glad to see the Euro and Aussie rewards have been sent out. Why, however, has there zero word on the RoW backers in South American, Mexico, Japan etc?
"UPDATE: Advertising and promoting
Worked on more convention and promotional stuff this week, along with what feels like a million other things. You can help with promotion. Seriously, talk up RRT, Robotech®, Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy®, and attending the Palladium Open House (hope to see a lot gamers there and at AdeptiCon and Gen Con Indy, too), and other Palladium games, settings and news you enjoy. Positive buzz creates excitement and helps us to sell and produce more of the games you want to see."
Ok I said this last week....doing things that only a limited number of people will possibly see isn't the best thing to do man. You NEED as MANY eyes on the ads as possible. Marketing 101. Also asking us to do what you;ve already asked us to do for the past 10+ years....yeah, you've noticed it isn't doing much already but I'll do my part as I always have. A little damned help would be nice...like a poster or something that could be put up in a Local store and such. WE can only do so much and ONLY when we may be in the local store.
"UPDATE: Palladium Books at AdeptiCon – March 19-22 "
Said it before and will again, t is a GOOD thing that you guys are gong to these now. keep doing it.
"UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Tournament at AdeptiCon, March 19-22"
"Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Events – Arcticon – Saturday, March 7"
I hope these go off very well.
"Gen Con Indy – July 30 to August 2, 2015"
Good.
"UPDATE: 2015 Palladium Open House (POH) – May 15-17"
Day trip still planned.
"More Murmurs"
Glad to see them but.....if you are just going to by and large tell us how hard all of you are working...just don't.
That , as they say, is that.
Again if you wish to DISCUSS these comments then by all means DISCUSS them but if all you do is post to try and incite things....I will DEAL with it as I see fit.
IF your intention is to just post and spout off because you don;t like what is said then don't.
