Beyond the Supernatural™, Second Edition is at the printers!

After many delays, BTS-2 is finally done and at the printers.

The soft cover edition should ship to distributors around January 21, 2005 and the limited edition hardcover (500 copies signed and numbered by Kevin Siembieda and artists) should be available sometime in February.

Publisher and game designer, Kevin Siembieda, has virtually rewritten every word to create a horror setting that is truly evocative and different.

Insider Reaction

“I couldn’t put it down.” Said editor, Alex Marciniszyn. “and I can hardly wait for additional sourcebooks. Kevin always talks about putting the ‘wow’ into our books, and this one is just filled with one wow after another. I’m not exaggerating.”

The Palladium staff and anyone who has seen bits and pieces agrees, BTS-2 is powerful, compelling and filled with wonder and surprises. “Wow,” has been a common expletive used to describe its contents.

“It’s nothing like what I was expecting,” said proofreader Julius Rosenstein. “It’s better! I was impressed.”

“I’m excited about it. Wait till you learn about the Lazlo Society.” Added editor, Wayne Smith.

“Wow! If the whole book is like this . . . wow.” was freelancer, Carl Gleba’s reaction after reviewing a few sections, adding, “The Ordinary People P.C.C. is perfect. Exactly how I envisioned it. I want to play the underdog. 42 job templates, cool.”

“I can hardly wait to get the finished book in my hands.” Todd Yoho, freelance writer.

“Personally, I haven’t been this excited about a new game release since the debut of Rifts®.” said Kevin Siembieda. “BTS-2 may be the best book I have ever written. I hope gamers are as excited and pleased with BTS-2 as we are.”
