It is the Independence Day holiday weekend so I’m going to keep this Update very brief and touch on only a few immediate subjects. Besides, those of you in the USA will be on the beach or making your Christmas in July wish list orders this weekend. Be safe and have fun. And a shout out to our Canadian friends who celebrated Canada Day yesterday.
I’m afraid that Chuck Walton, Wayne, Alex and I will be working throughout the weekend (wahhh), because we are in full-tilt, wrap-up mode for Robotech®: The Expeditionary Force Marines™, and this book is going to knock your socks off. More on it in a bit.
EVENTS
Flash Sales are coming to celebrate two landmark anniversaries – Rifts® and Robotech®
It is the 25th Anniversary of Rifts® and the 30th Anniversary of Robotech®. Palladium is planning to offer you a number of “Flash Sales” over the next couple of months with products at a special price available for a limited time! A Flash Sale might be for just one day or one weekend. They may even be themed like the Palladium Gold Rush or Zentraedi Invasion Day, or Robotech® Earth Defenders’ Day, or the $6 T-Shirts Weekend. The current Flash sale is the Christmas in July Surprise Package offer. So keep your eyes peeled, even after the Christmas in July promotion ends. on Monday. *hint Hint*
Gen Con Indy – Palladium Books® Booth #1129 – July 30-August 2, 2015
Gen Con Indy is only 4 weeks away. Palladium Books has earned Premium Event status and there are 50+ gaming events for various Palladium games including Robotech® RPG Tactics™. This is entirely the result of the hard work and dedication of Palladium’s Megaversal Ambassadors and volunteer Game Masters.
Everyone who participates in a Palladium game event gets a special coupon redeemable at the Palladium Books booth during Gen Con (booth #1129), in case you needed another reason to play palladium games.
Palladium is also in the Gen Con® Coupon Book for more savings and value. Because 2015 is the 30th anniversary of Robotech® and the 25th anniversary of Rifts®, we have a pair of coupons in the Gen Con® Coupon Book to celebrate this special year.

Robotech®: The Expeditionary Force Marines™ – July release
We have been writing and drawing away like maniacs for the last two weeks as we put all the final touches on Expeditionary Force Marines™. I know a lot of people think they know what’s coming, especially the 120 who purchased the limited edition RAW Manuscript edition, but you are in for a surprise. The RAW edition was 128 pages. The final book is 160. We are adding material, rewriting a number of things, adding a bit more continuity and background, and the artwork ... oh, baby, the art is something else. The Manning brothers, Mike Wilson, Ben Rodriguez, Apollo Okamura, and especially the phenomenal Charles Walton have all turned in fabulous illustrations. Robotech®: The Expeditionary Force Marines™ is going to please a lot of people. My thanks for the input from many of you online and the handful of people who contacted Palladium directly and helped us catch a few problems before the final published book, it is all very much appreciated.
