I'm so sorry to hear this news Randi was one of the kindest, most gentle souls I've ever had the pleasure of calling my friend. She was one hell of a gamer too, her wolfen were always something to contend with. Her passing will leave a huge hole in this world. Rest In Peace sweet lady, my thoughts a...

Happy Birthday Kevin..... you beat me to the BIG 6-0

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Maryann

Happy 4th to all the folks on the boards! Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe celebration with lots of food, drink, family and friends!

We're have a family BBQ with all kinds of good fixin'!

My last comment on the whole mess.... because peeing up a tree does no good... Kevin and company are doing everything they possibly can to complete this project and get it to market, not just the kickstarter people but everyone. They want it shipped as bad as most people want it in their hot little...

Hummm, Rifts Main Book
Red Hand the original Nightspawn cover
and Northern Wilderness

I was always partial to Keith's work, but John Z was a close second with Brom coming up neck and neck.

Maryann

However the stuff that the ks people are receiving is above and beyond anything that the folks that buy the game at gen con will get. The people that pledged through the kickstarter didn't buy anything more than a product, they bought it in advance and from what I can see are getting more than thei...

Maryann

I think it is worthy of note that the two loudest and most Vitriolic opponents over on the RT Tactics fan FB page have admitted to either being a scalper, who is upset they wont get to the market first if Palladium sells at GenCon, and someone who is actively looking for an excuse to file suit agai...

Just for the record, many of us "yes" votes have sent PMs telling PB to put us at the back of the line if for no other reason than the slim hope that those whining the loudest, who apparently do not understand what KS is for or read the terms & conditions for it, about this will shut ...

Maryann

Again selling at Gencon is not the issue. Its that other people will be getting stuff for the backers. Which I can why it would make people unhappy. As for it being Kevin product. Do remember that it was not paid for out of PB pocket. With other people money. So while he owns the product. He sure a...

Maryann

Its interesting, I've been out of the industry for over 12 years now (after being in the industry almost 20 prior) and it never ceases to amaze me how absolutely nothing changes. Of course Kevin and Palladium should take the game to Gen Con and promote it the way it should be, 200 copies of anything...

Maryann

lol, all you have to do is talk to Kev at a convention, he loves to tell stories about the days gone by! The problem with this type of book is that you end up with the persons perspective and how they saw things unfolding which may or may not be exactly how things happened. I doubt very seriously if...

Maryann

I assuming that your not glad about the 'stuck in Ohio' part. Because I feel for anyone stuck down there. If the economy hadn't taken a more dramatic downward spiral about 6 or 7 years ago I would have been out of the lovely state already... but work keeps me here for now but working on convincing ...

Maryann

Just saw this and thought I'd post a reply... I am doing amazingly well, thank you for asking! I have 4 fantastic grandkids, a good job that thankfully has stabilized in the last little bit (for me at least). Things can always be better, but could also be worse. Still stuck in Ohio for the time bein...

Maryann

lol well if I knew this was Mark I would have asked!!! I might have to pop over to his kickstarter!

Maryann

For those who don't know I have launch a kickstarter campaign for an anthology series, IMAGINOS PLUS!!! The Anthology is 3 stories, possibly 4, if we reach are stretch goals. The reason I am coming to you guys to talk about this is 2 of them are Palladium Related. One is a superhero comedy based on...

Maryann

lol if Bruckheimer has the cards how is it Palladium's fault that he hasn't done anything with this yet? When an extension is signed Palladium can do NOTHING until Bruckheimer says he's done and doesn't want to extend this any further. Yes its been 10 years and yes Bruckheimer has come back every y...

Maryann

Throwing hands up and blaming it on 'Hollywood' is all well and good. Palladium (and specifically the boss-man) has a reputation among the greater role-playing community for shifting blame, even when honesty would work better. But a number of Intellectual Properties end up on the film studios' auct...

Maryann

K, I looked over the booklet/character sheet, my big problem with it is thats a lot of pages... when I'm playing I don't want to go through that many pages to find what I need. Its a very comprehensive sheet with a ton of information, I just like a much smaller character sheet, like 2 or 3 pages top...

Maryann

I was talking to Kevin last night and mentioned that some people had wanted to attend but couldn't because of finals the week they usually hold the open house and that they should move it a few weeks earlier. Here's the question, Do you guys think its a good idea to move it just a week or two earlie...

Maryann

An update on this from the Staff would be great on this. at least let us know if its been canceled. Pretty sure the most recent news we've had on it is that it was re-optioned. Meaning studio still has an interest in it. I doubt that has changed. If they were starting filming or had a finished scri...

Maryann

That is soooo cooooolllll!!!!

I even called Kev right after I watched it to make sure he takes a look!

Good Work!!

Maryann

What part of this is out of Palladium's control don't some people get? The ball in in Hollywood's court, as long as they keep renewing the option and working on script and what not thats a good thing. When they get a script they like they will complete the option, move forward with pre-production an...

Maryann

Thank you Al for the update. We're all sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for the announcement. I understand that this is totally out of Palladium's hands and at the mercy of Hollywood, so we'll just be patient. After all Lord of the Rings was in development for 10 or 12 years before the movie...

Maryann

I have faith in Kevin and the crew at Palladium. As a fan and believer in the property I'm sure as soon as he has news that can be released to the general public he will post it, until then we'll be patient and wait with dreams of glitterboys on the big screen!

Maryann

Things are moving forward, the writer is working on a script, no one knows if the script will be good, bad or indifferent. News will be posted as soon as Kev and crew are allowed to.

Maryann

Facts is facts, some of us just know a little more than others.

Maryann

Just a reminder, criticism should be of the positive kind. Otherwise a moderator might mistake it for flaming. Also, the last official update from Kevin indicated this movie was being written, however this was some time ago. Currently the Jerry Bruckheimer site does not indicate anything about this...

Maryann

I really don't mean to be a wet blanket, but putting a work that you plan on submitting commercially out on a message board is a BAD idea. No producer is ever going to consider a product that was posted on a message board, they just won't, its damaged goods.

Maryann

No one can bring it to his attention because he doesn't accept unsolicited scripts. Besides that the writer for the film is working on the script already.

Maryann

I saw an interview with Rawsom Marshall Thurman, talking about his latest movie Mysteries Of Pittsburgh and the novel it was adapted from. Here's an outtake: RMT : Thanks, I’m glad you liked it. I worked very hard on the script and I’m proud of the result. Scene to scene, sequence to sequence, the ...

Maryann

I would love to see Michael Bay involved with this project. We'll just wait and see what Rawson comes up with and who JB Films tags as the perfect director. I have faith, it will happen...

He just hasn't updated his web site in a looooonngg time

Kevin just announced in the latest press release that JB Films has extended their option for another year

Things are looking good!

Maryann

Well, I managed to get here, and I even managed to attend VIP thursday. But after three long stints in an airport, and then the long night there Ive ended up sick. So I'm in my hotel room today trying to get better so I can attend the events going on on sat and sunday. Hell, I'm still hoping that I...

Maryann

Its been 9 years uhm when is this thing happening ? Nine years? Really? Cuz in my world it's 2009 and the post you quoted is 2003. Just gotta be patient, the rights are still optioned, so there is still hope. It would still be nice to at least see the light at the end of the tunnel. It actually too...

Maryann

The real question is has anyone else gotten one back. I haven't and I sent mine out right after the campaign started. I haven't seen any posts by anyone else who has gotten anything back. I forgot to ask for my signed 8X10! Darn!

Maryann

Huh, thats weird, I didn't get a letter back either.

Was your letter in a regular #10 business letter envelope?

Worst idea ever... If I was one of those guys, nothing would irritate me more than getting annoying letters from fanboys and girls crying for a movie to be made. Being money makers, they'll probably push it ahead, but it'll be crap. Most fan pushed movies are. Look how Spider-man 3 turned out. That...

Maryann

Writing anyone at Disney won't get you anywhere, they're the money men behind the project. Bruckheimer studios are the main movers and shakers, thats who you write to to get you your message across.

Maryann

He was warning you so you wouldn't get sued by Disney or Bruckheimer (even if such a thing would be unlikely). How is that shooting the fanbase? ~ Josh I can appreciate where he's coming from--steering me away from a financial tangle is really quite noble, but I see an underlying problem with this ...

I understand about the editing, all books get edited and things go and things stay. One of the big problems I have is that it is being Heavily edited by someone that knows very little about zombies.

Maryann

From what I know, the writer is busy working on it and actually thinks he may have the script done relatively soon. Why not email him and show your support and ask him yourself? give us the email Thats probably a really really bad idea. He doesn't need to be deluged with emails from Palladium fans ...

Specter wrote:I'd be more excited over a Nightbane movie... how many years are you going to wait on a script for?

Probably as many years as it takes, as long as Mr. Bruckheimer is still interested, and the checks keep clearing the bank and there isn't another big name movie producer kicking down the door.

Maryann

Is this just a deal to possibly make a movie or are they actually going to make it? Has is just been placed on a backburner somewhere to be forgotten? God can you imagine a Rifts movie! How wicked would that be, then I could laugh at all my friends who thought I was a dork for liking a role playing...
