WEEKLY UPDATE – JULY 23, 2015
------------------------
By Kevin Siembieda®
We are ready for Gen Con Indy and looking forward to a very successful and fun Gen Con. We hope to see many of you there. A lot of this week went toward final prep for Gen Con. I mean, hey, it’s the first official appearance of Robotech® RPG Tactics™ at a convention this size. We also engaged in a number of meetings, Skype conferences, and work on other books and products.
The first Flash Sale – Wake the Dead – all Dead Reign® (zombie) titles, was a big success. Our thanks to all of you who participated. As I’ve said, we can’t sell everything at half price, but we’ll be offering up some pretty exciting specials. And the latest one is below. I think next week’s sale will be Rifts® Heavy Metal(miniatures) followed by a Robotech® or Nightbane® Weekend Flash Sale.”
Christmas in July was the 1st, you said so yourself in late June. I’d best stop now because that shit never get errata’d.
Hardcore Rifts® – Flash Sale
– Select “core” Rifts® titles at exciting discount prices
– July 24, 25 & 26, 2015 – Friday, Saturday and Sunday Only
The following 12 Rifts® books are what we consider “core” titles that everyone should own or which inspire adventures in Rifts® North America.
Rifts® Ultimate Edition RPG Hardcover.
Rifts® Game Master Guide
Rifts® Book of Magic
Rifts® Adventure Guide
Rifts® Conversion Book™ 1, Revised
Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook
Rifts® World Book 10: Juicer Uprising
Rifts® World Book 11: Coalition War Campaign (the title says it all; epic)
Rifts® World Book 30: D-Bees of North America
Rifts® World Book 35: Megaverse® in Flames
Rifts® Dimension Book 8: Naruni Wave Two
Rifts® Sourcebook: Mercenary Adventures”
So, whats core.
Conversion book is core? CWC? More like no one wants to reduce our stock without a sale.(epic). Book 30, so core. Dimensions book 8? Ah yes, guns n shit. Merc adventures… sure.
and should that not be Epic discount prices.
“NEW! Robotech® Expeditionary Force Marines™ Sourcebook – ships Tomorrow – Friday, July 24, 2015 – Available now
The printer says Robotech® Expeditionary Force Marines™ Sourcebook will arrive at the Palladium warehouse tomorrow – Friday, July 24! As soon as we get it, we’ll ship out …”
That’s the Megaversal Now. And why not, you took the money 2 weeks ago.
“UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™
We are continuing to explore ways to reduce the number of pieces for Robotech® RPG Tactics™ and make it less time consuming to build the game pieces. We had a positive telephone conference with the manufacturing broker. Working on a good number of things related to this game line and Wave Two.”
Short update is ironic.
“UPDATE: Gen Con® Indy – Palladium Books® Booth #1129 – July 30-August 2, 2015
Gen Con is next week! Though for us, it feels like it has already been here for an entire week “
yes, tl/dr, we’ve had this more than a week. Is there an update in here? But 1st a word for our supporters.
“Our heartfelt thanks to Palladium’s Megaversal Ambassadors and volunteer Game Masters. Thank you, one and all.”
Indeed.
“We are sorry and want to soften the disappointment for those of you who had signed up for a few games that were removed from Gen Con’s schedule. A Special Coupon is available at the Palladium Booth (#1129) for gamers who had paid for Palladium Game Events that were recently CANCELLED! Two of our Game Masters had to cancel their games at the last minute. I’m sure they had good reasons, but you are still inconvenienced.
To make it up to you, Palladium has a special coupon just for YOU. The Gen Con Event Coordinator has provided us with a list of your names, so all you have to do is come to our booth, tell us the name of the event that got cancelled, have your I.D. ready to check against the list, and we’ll give you a special coupon for each canceled event, redeemable at the Palladium Books booth #1129.”
Starts with mixed metaphor, if it is softened it’s already disappointing. I’m sure the piking GMs had good reason. Yeah. So are WE!.
Cancelled event to Con Store credit.
“UPDATE: Chaos Earth® Resurrection™
Chaos Earth® Resurrection™ is back into full swing production with editing and rewrites underway. I have not been able to work on the manuscript as much as I have hoped this week, but it’s coming along and is a pretty sweet book. August release. With more Rifts® titles to follow!”
So, not full swing. Unless we can now define full swing as less than is hoped and somewhere less than So Hard®. Is that follow a statement or command?
“Teaser: Splicers® Sourcebooks
As I said last week, we have all kinds of things boiling behind the scenes for Splicers®. Probably need to start figuring out which Splicers material is coming next and then zip out 2-3 sourcebooks in a row.”
Oh fucken’ LOL. Zip out. Like a bit of hot sausage.
and if you missed it, this was listed after 4 other books that had no real update in this update.
“UPDATE: More PDF titles on DriveThruRPG.com
NEW! World Books 4 and 5: Rifts® Africa and Rifts® Triax & the NGR
World Book One: Vampire Kingdoms™, Revised (as well as the original 1991 edition)”
I remain perplexed about just how they see digital distribution. Both editions of World book 1. Is the PDF a collectors item like the 1st version of Africa. With all the errors.
“Closing thoughts
Been riding on adrenaline for a few weeks now. Hope I’m coherent at Gen Con. Meanwhile, please continue to enjoy the flash sales. Gotta run. Have a wonderful weekend.
– Kevin Siembieda®, Game Designer, Writer, Publisher”
Weeks? You ride that shit like a juicer from one bird encounter to that random snow storm shovelling. Remember you missed the murmur you were so hard ridden. Which we still do not have. But, the murmur is not really different to the update anyway because the point of them both is ill defined.
