Palladium Books® Weekly Update – March 24, 2011

By Kevin Siembieda

I’m keeping this Update brief as Wayne and I work toward getting two new books to the printer.

Wayne, Alex and I have been putting in longer days than usual, even for us, these past several weeks. A lot of that time was spent on getting Thundercloud Galaxy™ finished and to the printer, along with The Rifter® #54 and a foursome of popular titles back in print. In between, we’ve been working on the new Palladium web site which is looking great, plus I have been doing all kinds of work prepping for the Creators Conference (only two weeks away!). There were times when we didn’t know what day it was, and there were a couple days where my head was spinning.

Ah, but it is all paying off.

UPDATE: The Rifter® #54. Even as you read this, The Rifter® #54 is in final production and layout. It will go to the printer on Monday and is another rockin’ issue with a cool cover, great interior art, new monsters from around the Megaverse®, super-heroics, Rifts® adventure and a final farewell to the long running Hammer of the Forge™.

UPDATE: Thundercloud Galaxy™ is almost done. The book is in the final stages of production, with the last few bits being written and edited. Layout begins as soon as Wayne is done with The Rifter® #54. Yes, that means it goes to the printer next week!

I think Thundercloud Galaxy™ is epic. I am very pleased with the final result. Editor Alex Marciniszyn can’t stop raving about it. I must admit, it is jam-packed with all kinds of useful data, new weapons and gear, new alien races, new monsters, new monster creation tables, new and expansive colony creation tables, other random tables and more than 100 adventure ideas. Plus mystery, Dominators and more! Alex says it’s the best “space opera” book Palladium has ever done. Just yesterday Alex came in after editing the latest batch of text and said, “Kev, this is space opera at its best. It feels like there are a dozen riveting ideas on every page, and that’s in between all the other great stuff.” Thanks, Alex. I hope our fans agree with your assessment. See the new description later in this update. Hey, don’t forget, the “aliens and creatures” of the Thundercloud Galaxy can be used on Rifts Earth and other settings.

Back in Print and Ready to Ship: The following out of prints books arrived at the Palladium warehouse today and are ready to ship.
- Rifts® Dimension Book™ 6: Three Galaxies™
- Rifts® Black Vault™
- Rifts® Mercenaries™
- Aliens Unlimited™ – A Heroes Unlimited™ sourcebook

Rifts® Baseball Caps are back due to popular demand. Be certain to get yours. All are adjustable in size, extremely comfortable and look great. They are done and arrive at the Palladium warehouse tomorrow, Friday, March 25, 2011.

UPDATE: Palladium Website. The new website keeps getting better and better and closer and closer to being ready to go live. Rex Barkdoll and Thom Bartold continue to get this bad boy finished. I think it will be a crowd pleaser.

UPDATE: Creators Conference. Two weeks away. I’m excited. Big plans.

UPDATE: Online sales. Sales picked up this week, though they were still weak. But it was relief to see a significant rebound. A big bounce back is coming with the release of The Rifter® #54 and Rifts® Thundercloud Galaxy™, both scheduled to ship next month around April 12. And they will be followed in short order by more new releases all Spring and Summer long.

UPDATE: Rifts® Lemuria. John Zeleznik is working on the cover, and writer Greg Diazyck is whipping up a few additional touches for the content. This is going to be another book that will surprise and please people as we push the envelope on everything we do.

UPDATE: Robotech® New Generation™ Sourcebook. Hmmm, haven’t heard from Apollo Okamura lately. I should probably check on the progress of that cover. Can hardly wait till I dive into the manuscript for this title.

UPDATE: DriveThruRPG.com – People are discovering and enjoying the 90+ Palladium PDF products available from DriveThruRPG.com because sales were up 250% last month! A lot of the interest was on back issues of The Rifter® (issues #1-48 are available, as well as fan favorite titles like The Mechanoid Invasion®, all the books in the Rifts® Siege on Tolkeen series, Rifts® RPG 1st Edition rules, and other books). If you haven’t taken a peak at it, you probably should.

UPDATE: Kathy Simmons is feeling better and has two amazing new ghoulish creations going up on her eBay store this weekend – queenofghouls.com. As most of you know, Kathy creates and sells one of a kind, life-sized Halloween props of zombies and other monsters.

Keep those imaginations burning bright.

    NEW! Rifts® Dimension Book™ 14: Thundercloud Galaxy™
    – Ships April 12, 2011 – in final production

    In the final stages of production.

    The Thundercloud Galaxy is a place for action and adventure. It is where the Dominators still tread and where the last of the Elder Races are said to hide. Ancient ruins of the Elders and other advanced people litter the worlds of the Thundercloud Galaxy. Some hold the secrets to riches, others threaten to unleash forgotten technology and ancient menaces.

    Colonization efforts in the Thundercloud sponsored by the civilizations in the rest of the Three Galaxies offer the promise of a new beginning and a glorious future. Colonists flock to the Thundercloud filled with dreams. Space Pirates and an array of cutthroats also flock to the galaxies, guns in hand, ready to rob and fleece the colonists. Lawmen and heroes are in great demand, and the opportunities for clever adventurers are said to be without limit. Strange beings like the feline Shing, insectoid CheDive, and Whetu, who defy description, and monsters like the devouring Yboor are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to life in this galaxy. It is also home to the Bushi Federation and the Splugorth Kingdom of Desslyth, and is a playground for space pirates, raiders, the mysterious Exiles and the dark forces of the Minion War.

    As the civilizations of the Anvil and Corkscrew Galaxies scramble to colonize the Thundercloud Galaxy in a mad rush to grab as much as they can, they are beginning to realize the galaxy holds more riches, beauty, horrors and secrets than anyone has ever imagined, making it a place of discovery, adventure and treachery like no other.

    Thundercloud Galaxy™ is a perfect companion to the rest of the Phase World®/Three Galaxies™ based Dimension Books as well as the Minion War™ series. Players can be pirates, raiders, brigands or hired guns, or they may be explorers, adventurers, Spacers, or any number of heroes trying to protect the colonists or the indigenous peoples of countless worlds and colonies. The possibilities are truly limited only by your imagination.

    The Queen of Ghouls: Life-Sized Halloween Props

    Start planning for Halloween early as Palladium’s very own Kathy Simmons will start to offer her 2011 selection of life-sized Halloween props (most are 6 feet or taller) 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 $129-$259. You can see some of her work at her Queen of Ghouls™ Ebay store – queenofghouls.com.
