A new update.
A mix of the same old statements with some real planning and info. Get ready for Adepticon
-------------------
By Kevin Siembieda®
This weekend we present our BIGGEST Flash Sale yet. A sale that cuts across the Megaverse® and several different RPG settings. Check it out and enjoy! We only advertise these Flash Sales in the Weekly Update, so please spread the word to your gaming friends.
Our time this week has been spent on myriad things, from the mundane like taxes, shipping and marketing, to writing and editing Chaos Earth® Resurrection™, jotting down notes and ideas on other upcoming books, assigning and approving artwork, and planning for Robotech® RPG Tactics™, Rifts®, Splicers® and other good stuff. There has been a lot of juggling this week with a number of things boiling behind the scenes that we are not yet prepared to reveal.
*** word of mouth flash sales.
*** marketing, like the stuff done on the flash sales?
*** and the “dark matters”, matters that effect our universe but we can’t see them or detect them directly.
Rifts® Megaversal Adventures – our Biggest Flash Sale yet
– August 27-31, 2015 – Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday – Select Rifts®, Heroes Unlimited™ and other titles at up to HALF OFF!
UPDATE: AdeptiCon, March 31 - April 3, 2016
Palladium Books will, of course, be attending AdeptiCon and we are looking for volunteers interested in running Robotech® RPG Tactics™ tournament events. If you are someone interested in running RRT events at AdeptiCon (and elsewhere), please contact the Megaversal Ambassadors (ambassadors {at} palladiumbooks.com) or Palladium Books directly (734-721-2903). Thanks!
*** get in early.
“UPDATE: Chaos Earth® Resurrection™
It would be done already if I wasn’t being constantly pulled away from writing by other things demanding my attention.”
*** and is apparently not what people expect. In a good way. Cool.
UPDATE! The Rifter® #71
The Rifter® #71 keeps taking a backseat to other matters. Toying with the idea of combining issue #71 and 72 into a 192 page DOUBLE-ISSUE. Haven’t decided yet. Probably not.
*** mind boggles
UPDATE: Rifts® The Disavowed
In some ways, The Disavowed is a companion to Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity, but in ways I don’t think anyone will see coming. The Coalition States is more dangerous than enemy forces could ever imagine.
*** not so much an update but a reminder. That the CS is the Rifts Mary Sue.
UPDATE: Splicers®
There are a number of things boiling with Splicers, including our plans to get 4-6 sourcebooks for Splicers® into your hands in the months ahead. And books for a few other game lines too. One of which I hope will be a pleasant surprise. I’m sorry to say it is not BTS sourcebooks, but those are screaming to be released from my head, along with several other books, as well. In fact, my imagination has been ablaze with ideas and inspiration. Trying to get it all down on paper.
*** BTS sourcebooks? Over the last 2 core books. It’s great that ideas are coming but once again splicers and BTS talk without a book is just a form of auto erotic asphyxiation. Reducing ambient oxygen due to fan hyperventilation is not helping.
UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™
A new update has been posted on the Kickstarter page. We’ve also been working on RRT advanced rules and scenario books.
*** colour pic’s on the web of painted minis. I like Myria VF with Sap and FPA. The VF even seems to have LED for thruster light (or it could be paint but it looks nice)
Palladium Collectibles available in Kevin’s Online Toy & Collectibles Store
Alex is adding a large number of new items to my Ebay Store, …… so keep an eye out. Alex ….. will keep adding items as our busy schedules allow, but we have a lot of fun collectibles available now and coming soon There are also hundreds of toys and action figures, all from my personal archives and collection. Take a look every weekend for new items added. Many make perfect gifts for the upcoming holidays, birthdays and anniversaries.
*** Promoting more stuff from Friends of Palladium.
*** What this also showed me was that KS still draws a lot in amongst all the other work.
FINAL WEEK of the Larry Elmore SnarfQuest digital game Kickstarter
The final days of this Kickstarter are here. So this is just a quick reminder to you that the Larry Elmore, SnarfQuest Tales Kickstarter is coming to an end. If you want to get in on this Kickstarter, you’ll want to do so very soon.
*** by final week he means 2 weeks. Due on 8th of September. $6000 to go. Does make you wonder if he’s visited the site since Gencom.
A lot of requests coming in
For some reason, Palladium has gotten several requests for interviews on a wide range of subjects: Dead Reign®, Robotech®, Rifts®, and others. It was just strange to get something like four or five interview requests all in the last week, but we’re happy to see such interest in our product lines. We had a number of convention events and swag requests come in too, and we are always happy to see events being run at conventions. Thanks Megaversal Ambassadors, your swag requests are on the way.
As usual, the week has just flown by for us. I’ve been trying to go home at a decent hour (around 7:30 PM which is usually an 11 or 12 hour day) which is keeping my creativity and energy at a good, consistent level. I’m looking forward to dedicating most of next week to writing and editing. On other fronts, we are working with a number of third parties to make some exciting things happen. I hope to have news on several fronts in upcoming Updates this Fall. While we are creating several new titles for Fall release, we hope you are enjoying the last few weeks of Summer. Game on.

*** Some reason = Gencon. 4 or 5 requests in a week which also seems to include MAs asking for “swag”.
*** And finishing with the hype. More on POD? More Drivethru services? More 3rd party merch? “Dark Matters”
*** Several new titles for Fall release might be just CE:R because until that one clears (or is shelved) pushing splicers, BTS, disavowed, heroes of humanity, rifter 71 and 72 collectively could see them released in time for Gencon 2016. In case you needed reminding that Robotech marines was announced at Gencon 2014 for a 2014 Fall release. So nothing new will be out this fall unless it’s the “dark matter” pulling you away from CE:R.
