Palladium Books® – Press Release – April 23, 2010
By Kevin Siembieda
UPDATE: Triax™ 2 is DONE and at the printer. It will be available at the Palladium Open House next Thursday through Sunday, and will ship to distributors and those of you who have ordered online the following Monday, May 3, after the Open House. I approved the printer’s proof copies Tuesday afternoon, it looks great and is on track for delivery next Thursday (VIP night of the Open House).
UPDATE: Rifts® Hoodies are available right now. The Rifts® hoodies look amazing. I don’t usually wear hoodies and I love them. Pre-orders shipped today. The rest are ready to ship and will be available at the Open House.
UPDATE: Rifts® T-shirts. We have FOUR new T-shirts debuting at the Open House. A Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms T-shirt, Rifts® 20 year anniversary T-shirt, a new Game Master T-shirt, and an Open House T-shirt.
UPDATE: Online Sales. Sales for the week started out low and weak, picked up for a few days, but ended poorly. Friday morning sales were flat-out awful. Overall, sales were down by about 35%, but that’s up from last week when sales were down 50%. Without a major new release, April sales are always the pits.
UPDATE: DriveThruRPG.com sales up. After a two month sales slump, this month’s sales were up 25%. Cool. DriveThruRPG.com offers PDFs of approximately 90 Palladium game titles, including The Rifter® issues #1-40, Best of The Rifter®, The Mechanoids®, The Mechanoid Invasion® Trilogy, Deluxe Revised RECON®, the Advanced RECON® sourcebook, Rifts® RPG (1st Edition), Splicers®, Heroes Unlimited™ (1st Edition), Palladium Fantasy RPG® first edition titles and many other (mostly) “out of print” titles.
UPDATE: Dad. I’m happy to report that my father, Henry, continues to do well.
UPDATE: Rifts® Movie. I know, you want to hear that there will be a Rifts® movie. I can’t say that . . . yet. I wish I could tell you what is being discussed, but I can tell you that Rawson Marshall Thurber’s screenplay has people excited and the movie option has been renewed for one more year. Yes, this is the 9th year Rifts® has been under option with JB Films. I think that says something in and of itself. Could there be different news this time next year? Let’s sure hope so!
UPDATE: Licensing, New Markets and Crossovers. Something is in the wind, because there has been a lot of interest in Rifts® and other Palladium intellectual properties as of late. There continues to be a lot of things happening on other fronts. I can’t talk about them in detail, but here are some snippets:
I approved the Rifts®/Colt the Outlander® crossover comic strip for Heavy Metal® Magazine this week and it’s fun. I can hardly wait to see it illustrated. I believe the strip is slated to appear in the July issue, so watch for it.
An independent comic book company is talking with Surge Licensing (Palladium’s licensing agent) about doing an ongoing Rifts® comic book series.
Rifts Videogames? Two major video game companies are talking with Surge Licensing about securing rights to do Rifts® videogames. No deal yet and they may only be shopping around. We’ll keep you posted.
Rumor has it that a major Hollywood studio has expressed “an interest” in making a Nightbane® movie. A videogame company has also expressed possible interest in it.
Palladium’s agent, Mark Freedman, and the rest of the Surge Licensing team are actively shopping Palladium intellectual properties around. Likewise, other industry buddies are putting out the word about Rifts® and other Palladium products. I’ve got a feeling the next year or two are going be exciting ones.
I’m afraid that’s all I can reveal right now, and nothing is official yet, but we dare to dream and are very hopeful on several fronts.
Positivity. I want to apologize if I sounded down, short or pessimistic in my last couple of Press Releases. I know I certainly had my moody and grumpy moments here at the Palladium office. The tight deadline, the painfully long hours and the frustration that no manuscript ever seems to be an easy or simple edit, combined with other pressures, an online sales slump, and delays all took their toll on me. I mean, I work 80-90 hours a week as it is. I have been doing so for the last several years. To get Triax finished, I had to ramp that up to 108 hours a week for the last two weeks. It was brutal, especially since I was tired to begin with. It was brutal on everyone. At the end of it all, my brain was burnt toast and I was exhausted. I’m happy to say our efforts paid off and our printer, McNaughton and Gunn, is getting the book turned around in record time for the Open House next weekend.
The point is, I was pretty much a zombie, low energy and my mood was “solemn.” Yep, solemn is the right word. Not down or negative per se, but solemn; not very playful or perky. It’s hard to stay positive all the time. It’s especially hard when the hours are long and problems seem to mount.
Over the years, I have been accused of being a workaholic. It’s true to the extent that I love what I do, so for me to regularly put in 60-70 hours a week is a joy, not punishment. But trust me, I do not enjoy working 80-90 hours a week on a regular basis without a long weekend or vacation here and there to catch my breath. It sucks. But to keep Palladium going these past several years, it has been a necessity. I’m blessed in that I love what I do, otherwise I could never sustain that kind of work schedule. Still, it’s exhausting and takes its toll on the mind and body. So I’m sorry if I sounded glum or negative.
We have some amazing new books in development and exciting ventures bubbling behind the scenes . . . if they work out. Hmmm. That pessimism is born from many “promising” opportunities that never materialized. That having been said, everyone at Palladium thinks they feel the wind of change shifting in our favor. There are a lot of positive things going on, big and small. I hope you all stick around for the ride, because I think some very exciting (and better) times are coming our way. With any luck, in the very near future.
Open House “Gaming Schedule” should get posted for your review today or tomorrow. This is a mostly complete list, but other games will be added and a couple G.M.s are not on the official schedule because they’ll be running “pick-up” games as needed. There will also be numerous panel talks.
Open House VIP Night. There may be 2-6 cancellations (there usually are), so if you are in town next Thursday and would like to attend the event, you should call or swing by to see if there are any slots open. Julius has started a waiting list and has one gent on it already.
The Palladium Open House is next week! On one hand, I wish I had another two weeks to prepare. On the other hand, I can hardly wait.
The POH is always a blast and after the last six gut-busting weeks, I am so ready to have some fun with friends. And I mean you. Our fellow gamers. The Palladium Open House is as special to us as it is to you. It helps us renew our spirits and enthusiasm. It is four days of games, laughter, talking and fun. We need it. We enjoy it and we feed on the energy and positivity you bring with you.
The last few weeks of work and doldrums is exactly what I was talking about when I wrote a few months back about putting our troubles and worries aside for a weekend. I, for one, am sick and tired of working all the time, worrying about the economy and fretting over one problem or another. I’m making the Palladium Open House a party. A celebration of fun, friends and games. I invite YOU to do the same. Come on over, have fun and forget your troubles – be it for a day or the entire weekend. It seems most of us are working harder than ever to make less money or hold our own. Life is hard sometimes. Use the Palladium Open House to find a little fun and camaraderie. Carve out a little “me time” and remind yourself what’s really important: Fun, friends, family, games and imagination unleashed. Laugh and game with us.
I’ll see some of you next weekend. The rest of you, don’t let your troubles get the best of you. Stay positive, hug the person you love most and keep those imaginations burning bright.
– Kevin Siembieda, Publisher, Writer & Gamer

Rifts®/Phase World® Sourcebook:
Heroes of the Megaverse® – Ships May
Heroes of the Megaverse® presents numerous NPC heroes, new details about the Cosmo-Knights and all kinds of fun with a magic artifact known as the Book of Heroes. This magic artifact is said to bestow incredible power upon those who use it. It can also guide and empower current day heroes and unleash forces that could have a profound impact on the Minion War. Only one copy is known to exist, and everyone wants to get their hands on it – good guys and bad (demons, Deevils, the Splugorth, the Dominators, the Kreeghor, etc.). According to legend, he who controls the Book of Heroes and wields the “Power of the 2000,” can rule the universe. Once protected by the Cosmo-Knights, the book has gone missing for millennia. No one knows its fate or the true power contained within its List of Heroes. No one except YOU – the new keepers of this legendary Rune book.

Robotech® Visionary – Carl Macek, 1951-2010
It is with a sad heart that I report, Carl Macek, the mastermind behind Robotech®, died of a heart attack this past Saturday, April 17, 2010. He was 59 years old.
Carl was one of those polarizing personalities who fans, especially Robotech® fans, either loved (even deified) or disliked. He was a man of vision and strong opinion. In addition to taking three unrelated anime series and rewriting, editing and dubbing them into the ever popular Robotech® TV series (1985), Carl created Robotech® II: The Sentinels®, and helped pioneer bringing Japanese anime to the Western world. Sentinels never quite got off the ground, but Carl kept promoting and marketing Robotech with videocassettes, laser disks, soundtrack albums, and other things. He also got animation classic Akira into limited theatrical release throughout the USA and Canada and brokered the largest sale of Akira original artwork and animation cels in the world.
Carl Macek will be missed. My deepest sympathies to his family and to his friends at Harmony Gold. More than ever, it is left to all of us to keep Robotech® alive.
