All of the above titles (along with The Rifter® #53) are sitting in the Palladium warehouse waiting for your orders. You demanded them. We printed them. Please spread the word they are back in stock and place your order for the book(s) you’ve been waiting for.
UPDATE: Online sales. Sales for the last quarter of 2010 ended on a strong note, but we always seem to enjoy excellent Christmas sales. Of course, sales dropped severely after Christmas, and the months of January, February, March and April are the RPG industry’s slow period. We’re hoping that bringing back so many out of print titles and our plans to release one or two new books every month will turn the traditional “slow season” into strong sales. It has worked in the past.
UPDATE: The Rifter® #53 – Available now. The latest issue of The Rifter® arrived today and is ready to ship. Issue 53 is packed with material for Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy®, Nightbane® and Heroes Unlimited™, as well as great artwork, fiction, news and coming attractions. This issue is so good, I printed a few hundred extra copies, and I bet it will still sell out fast. The Rifter® #53 is an excellent issue to start your subscription.
SPECIAL: The Rifter® Super-Subscription Offer starts today. We only do a special Rifter® subscription offer ONCE a year and this is it. You have the next six weeks, till February 28, 2011 to take advantage of the savings and special offer.
What makes the Super-Subscription Offer so “super?” You get each issue at below cover price delivered right to your door, PLUS you get to choose a FREE gift worth $12-$24, and subscribers in the USA do not pay postage for their subscription!

UPDATE: Armageddon Unlimited™. Final editing and writing tweaks continue, but we are far enough along that Wayne starts typesetting and layout tomorrow! Yep, that means Armageddon Unlimited™ will be heading for the printer soon.
UPDATE: Thundercloud Galaxy™ is the next new release to get our full attention. All the artwork is done, and we are looking for an end of February release.
UPDATE: Robotech®. The first Robotech® sourcebook of 2011 should go into final production in the next couple months.
UPDATE: Rifts® WB One: Vampire Kingdoms™, Expanded & Updated and Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook™ are being developed even as you read this. They’ll be in your hands as soon as we can hammer them out. Each is filled with new ideas and material that will please and surprise.
The 2010 Christmas Surprise Package Offer came to an end last weekend. All have been processed and shipped as of today. Most went out on Tuesday. We hope everyone enjoyed their Surprise Packages and experienced a wonderful holiday season. Our thanks for all the kind words of encouragement, love and support. Game on!
Ideas for everything. Ideas and plans for new books, new non-book products and new market areas continue to grow and develop as if they had a life of their own. I hope to announce some by Spring or Summer.
Creative energy is running high. And not just from the Palladium staff and freelancers. We’ve been getting some good suggestions from fans and the most unexpected places. For example, out of the blue just this week, a package arrived at the Palladium offices. It was from long-time fan Ben McLeod, who submitted a half dozen samples of possible new products for our consideration. All were impressive and cool, and we are evaluating their potential marketability.

A comprehensive overview of Canada, including notable places, cities, towns, people, O.C.C.s, monsters and conflicts. Much of Canada has reverted to wilderness, but there are pockets of civilization and technology, though not all of them human.
The focus of Dark Conversions™ is on creatures of darkness and other monsters such as Alien Intelligences, Elementals, were-beasts, vampires, weird supernatural beings, the Nightbane and others. If you are looking for practitioners of dark magic, villains, monsters and vile horrors to pit against your heroes, this is the sourcebook for you. Many creatures also have notes on how they fit into the Rifts Earth setting and where they may be encountered.
A complete role-playing game set in a unique realm of high fantasy and epic adventure that has thrilled fans for 27 years. All the fantasy elements you’d expect are there, but spun in ways that you may not expect. Magic has replaced science. The elder races of Dwarves, Elves and Titans have given way to the rise of humanity and the Wolfen Empire. While the monster races – Goblins, Orcs, Ogres and Trolls – lay claim to the Old Kingdom, from which they launch their pillaging raids. And that’s just the beginning.
The ultimate Rifts® reference and sourcebook, it contains all the weapons, equipment, body armor, power armor, robots, vehicles, skills and psionics from Rifts® World Books 1-23, Sourcebooks 1-4, and Siege on Tolkeen 1-6, collected into one big reference. Plus, maps, lists and indexes of O.C.C.s, R.C.C.s, experience tables and more.
A compendium of bionic and cybernetic systems in the Rifts North America setting, with information about Partial and Full Conversion Cyborgs, Headhunters, City Rats, the Cyber-Doc and more. A must-have resource for fans of cyborgs.
The New German Republic (NGR) is surrounded and besieged by the hostile Gargoyle Empire – an empire of giant monsters. Only the superior robotics and weapons technology of Triax keeps the monsters at bay, but for how long? This epic World Book presents the Triax robots, power armor, cyborgs, and world setting that is Rifts Germany and the surrounding region. More than 100,000 copies sold!
Note: For dozens of new weapons, armor, robots, drones, power armor suits, cyborgs, vehicles and updated information about the NGR, Triax and the war, see Rifts® World Book 31: Triax™ 2 – 192 pages – $24.95 – Cat. No. 881.
There is no place on Rifts Earth more exotic, magical and dangerous than China, especially since the Hell of the Yama Kings has bled into the mortal plane.
Note: For 18 new O.C.C.s, heroes of the Celestial Court, Geofront, secret technology, mystical powers, Demon Wrestling, Demon Quelling, Chi Weapons, martial arts and more, see Rifts® World Book 25: Rifts® China 2 – 160 pages – $20.95 – Cat. No. 858.
Your guide to creating your own corner of the infinite Megaverse®. The big picture of how the Megaverse® works, plus rules and suggestions for creating your own dimension.
This is it, the ultimate guide to magic for Rifts Earth. All the magic spells, magic tattoos, Techno-Wizard items, magic weapons, equipment, body armor, restraints, parasites, Symbiotes, magic items, Bio-Borgs, Automatons, Iron Juggernauts, and more from Rifts® World Books 1-23, Sourcebooks 1-4, and Siege on Tolkeen 1-6, collected into one big reference.
White printing on a big, glossy black, 15.5 ounce coffee mug. Looks cool and is a fan favorite.

Typesetting and layout start this weekend.
Demons and Deevils are fighting for dominance of the Earth, and if they can’t win, nobody can have it. They’ll destroy the planet.
Armageddon Unlimited™ is the ultimate good vs evil setting and adventure. The fate of the world hangs in the balance and only you can stop its destruction.
Armageddon Unlimited™ is more than an epic world-saving adventure, it is also a sourcebook jam-packed with new powers, magic, weapons and Power Categories that can be incorporated into any Heroes Unlimited™ campaign.
Highlights include:
Thundercloud Galaxy™ is the perfect companion to Rifts® Dimensional Outbreak™ to expand one’s gaming Megaverse in the Three Galaxies. History, aliens, weapons, spacecraft, and adventure in a galaxy far, far away.
Kevin Siembieda is reorganizing, tweaking, expanding and updating one of the most popular Rifts® World Books ever published: Vampire Kingdoms™. This will include some new artwork and an expanded page count. The book will be updated and expanded in much the same way as Kevin did with Rifts® Sourcebook One a few years ago. Best of all, it will be accompanied by the Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook™.
Trouble is stirring in the Vampire Kingdoms as ambitious vampire lords, ladies and misanthropes seek to expand their power to dominate more mortal life forms.
Written by Kevin Siembieda and a handpicked selection of other writers, this sourcebook explores the vampires of Mexico and their kingdoms in ways you never imagined. Tons of new data, adventure ideas and revelations.
This Robotech® sourcebook will be an early 2011 release.
At last, the underwater realm of Lemuria. The people and history of Lemuria, new magic, sea herbs and healing, sea monsters, and more.
The Minion War spills across Rifts Earth, where demons and infernals hope to recruit allies and use the Rifts as gateways of destruction. Their influence shakes things up across the planet, especially at locations where demons and Deevils already have a strong presence. More details to follow, but for now, ‘nuff said.
Data about the chaos and madness of the early days of the Great Cataclysm, and the brave men and women who tried to stem the tide of destruction and save lives, the First Responders.

Start planning for Halloween early as Palladium’s very own Kathy Simmons will start to offer her 2011 selection of life-sized (most are 6 feet or taller) Halloween props that are to die for.
Each is an all-weather, life-sized Halloween prop that can handle rain and snow, and is a one-of-a-kind work of art (no two are exactly the same). Each looks frighteningly “real.” All come apart and fold down to slightly larger than a king-size pillow for easy storage. Comes with easy instructions, a plastic storage bag, and the lawn stake to stand it up in your front yard. Indoor stand sold separately.
Types of “Ghouls” include: Zombies (all kinds!), killer clowns, wizards, witches, devils, grave ghouls, scarecrows, executioners, mad doctors, deadly nurses, vampires, werewolves, and more. Kathy’s also now offering an array of hand-painted Halloween signs, signs with heads and bodies hanging from them, witch’s brewing pots, Halloween centerpieces and more. Best of all, her high quality creations are much more affordable and imaginative than most competitors or mass produced items in a store, making them affordable Halloween fun.
If you think the photos online look good, you should see them in person. A typical “ghoul,” as she calls her creations, costs $99-$179. You can see some of her work at her Queen of Ghouls™ Ebay store – queenofghouls.com.
