I'm already a big fan of the Dark Edition.

Final Encore By – Josh Hilden . . The two-lane road spanned west to east through the heart of southern Ohio. In other words, it flowed like a river through the middle of nowhere. The hot summer sun baked the broken asphalt. Nine months before, it’d been fresh black hot top. Now it was cracked and c...

Josh Hilden

That's super cool.

They shoulder consider putting the book up on all of the other eBook platforms as well.

At any rate, congratz.

Que Paso?

Josh Hilden

Why not use established public domain characters? I mean sure, you don't have to. But if you want to then what not. League of Extraordinary Gentleman is a perfect example of how it can work brilliantly.

Josh Hilden

Release schedules are just a mild suggestion.

Josh Hilden

A book takes as long as it takes. I've written full-size novels in 20 days. On the reverse, I've been picking at one of my books for two years. So yeah, it takes as long as it takes.

If you're not compensated in some way it's only theirs in the IP sense.

Second Question - Is anyone running Palladium games at Gen Con?

Josh Hilden

I know Palladium is opting out this year but anyone attending?

I'll be there all 4 days.

Josh Hilden

The new novels?

Lazlo RAW?

Garden of the Gods?

Dead Reign Hell Followed?

I think it's one of those but I haven't purchased a Palladium product since the end of 2008 so I'm not sure.

Josh Hilden

When KS either retires (HAHAHAHA) or passes, I expect the IP's to be sold and the company to be shuttered.

No real malice in that observation, just an opinion

Josh Hilden

Now that Palladium is publishing fiction again, I think it'd be a great idea to do audiobooks. Audiobook creation and distribution are simple and more or easy to do.

I, for one, would buy them all.

Heh, then I guess I won't be reading your books. I have a Kobo!

I have stuff on Kobo, mostly short stories.

Different strokes for different folks.

I'm waiting for Season 2 next year.

Josh Hilden

I enjoyed it.

Plus, it was a prequel to Z Nation.

Josh Hilden

This is an easy to moderately difficult adventure for the After The Bomb 2nd Edition setting, ideally for 1 to 8 players levels 2 to 6, although it is very easy to scale up for a higher level and/or larger group. I believe That Clem is one of the best NPCs in the Palladium Megaverse and that the GM ...

This is the finished portion of a proposed sourcebook for PFRPG that I was working on in 2008. I have no plans to complete the project, but I like what I wrote and am therefore posting it for other's enjoyment. There has been no real editing done on this project, so please excuse the mistakes.

Skipped A and B.

oks Not knowing the gazz-in-tas or gazz-out-as of publishing, is this not essentially a licensing agreement Palladium would have to agree to? Even then, as much as I'd like to see more Rifts fiction published through brick and mortar outlets, not sure what small-time publisher would be able to handl...

Josh Hilden

I was thinking that the best bet would be if we could find a small-time publisher who could convince Kevin that they'd keep the content appropriate, and handle all the publishing and such, in exchange for a nice slice of the profits. But I'm not going to hold my breath. Yeah, I doubt that would hap...

Josh Hilden

There's a lot of money in the Indie Fiction market, and IMO Palladium has some of the best Intellectual Properties to shift in that direction. The current course (Re-edited and republished RIFTS Novels, new RIFTS novels, and collecting serialized fiction from the RIFTERS into Paperback and/or Drive ...

Josh Hilden

Despite the bumpy start the original trilogy had, I always thought that the lack of a fiction library hurt Palladium Books more than it helped. Understanding the possible "once burned, twice shy" effect, and the effort these take to produce/edit, I would have loved to have seen more novel...

Josh Hilden

It just sounded cool to me. To put a cap on it from my end. In retrospect it all seems kinda pointless and more than a little childish. The sentiments behind all of that were sincere from my end but they were fueled by anger and bitterness. Would I do it again? No, probably not. But I never think ab...

Josh Hilden

I was part of the start as well, and I coined the name. Jaymz, Pepsi, and a lot of people I can't think of right now were there at the very beginning. I was pretty active until I burned out most of my anger and let my involvement peter out. I think we did more good than harm.

Reasons

Josh Hilden

Power Creep and personal visions aside, Kevin is the Editor in Chief and Publisher. If things didn't meet his direction and desire he should have requested changes or made them himself.

Josh Hilden

Independent Proofers of good quality are affordable and plentiful. Independent publishing has changed a lot in the last 15 years.
