2009 Christmas Surprise Packages

The Christmas Surprise Packages were announced Monday evening and orders have been coming in ever since. While Grag Bag orders will not ship before October 9, you can place your orders right away, giving us time to prep and really give these first hundred or two a good amount of thought and consideration. This is a wonderful way to get a big RPG gift for a friend or loved one, treat yourself, fill holes in your own collect, try a new game setting, get autographs, and save money all at the same time.

And remember, Publisher Kevin Siembieda vows to make this year’s Christmas Surprise Packages the most fun and value packed EVER.

A Distributor Ramps Up on Palladium Product

More good news. Kevin received a call the other day from one of Palladium’s distributors who wanted to let us know that he had stopped carrying the FULL line of Palladium products a few years back, but due to popular demand, especially over the last 8-12 months, he is going to start carrying our entire game line again. Maybe things are slowly turning around in some places.

After a few years of difficult times, Palladium Books is back to a regular publishing schedule.


Dead Reign™ RPG – The Zombie Apocalypse


 Dead Reign™ may be the most frightening, compelling and fun to play role-playing game setting Palladium has ever produced. Another epic RPG you need to put on your “check it out list,” “buy list,” or “Christmas list.” If zombies are your thing, we think you will fall in love with this game.

Brave human survivors refuse to lie down and die! They battle the walking dead on all fronts, watch each other’s backs, struggle to forge safe havens away from the cities, rescue other survivors and fight without respite.

* Six Apocalyptic Character Classes (O.C.C.s), including the Reaper, Shepherd of the Damned, Hound Master, Apocalyptic Soldier, Scrounger and Ordinary People (40+ occupations to choose from).
* Seven types of zombies plus the Half-Living.
* Secrets of the Dead: Everything you need to know about zombies if you want to live!
* Tips on fighting zombies and point-blank zombie combat rules.
* Terror Cults: Survivor refugees or Hell on Earth?
* Death Cults, their Priests, power over zombies and goals.
* Retro-Savages and why they feed people to zombies.
* Resources, vehicles and equipment.
* 101 Random Scenarios, Encounters and Settings.

Role-Playing Games / Rifts Hades to debut at Gen Con 8-17
« on: August 17, 2007, 03:05:02 AM »
I just talked to Kevin and he confirmed that 230 copies of Rifts Hades will arrive at our booth (# 2527 across from the Wizards of the Coast booth) Friday, between 2:00 and 3:00 PM. A lot of people came by asking about it.

And Rifts Hades will ship to all who pre-ordered on Monday, so if you haven't pre-ordered, get your order in now. This 224 page beauty has great art (Steve Russell is amazing), maps, encounters and key places and beings of Hades.  And it does contain MDC and SDC stats for use with our other game lines.

http://www.palladiumbooks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=1001&Product_Code=872

But back to Gen Con, Brandon Aten, Taylor White and Todd Yoho are there, Comfort Love and Adam Withers will arrive tomorrow and will stay through the weekend, ready to meet you and sign autographs.

Copies of Rifts and the Megaverse, The Art of John Zeleznik, hardcover and softcover, will also be on hand. So stop by, say hello, and bug Kevin to reveal some details about Dyval too.
