Rifter 50 Query
Anyone know if Rifter #50 is going to be reprinted? This will be the only one that I am missing (After purchasing the last few ones this past week, that is...).
Thanks...

Re: Rifter 50 Query
It is no longer standard to do reprints on Rifter so not likely.

Re: Rifter 50 Query
You can look on Ebay for it. I found a bunch on Ebay today. That or look in the Classified section of this site to see if someone is selling it.
Games: Savage Rifts, Fantasy Age, Dragon Age, Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition, Heroes Unlimited, TMNT, Ninjas and Superspies, and Rifts

Re: Rifter 50 Query
Aren't the Rifter reprints available PDFs?
If not that's a source of income that should have been tapped no matter how small they think PDF sales are.

Re: Rifter 50 Query
Thank you everyone.
Shawn... Too bad on the reprints...but I understand.
Juce734 -- I'll check e-bay (after checking the classifieds)...I wanted to give the business to P.B.
Gamer - I'll query the Classifieds a little later (Though I'm not too hopeful...I'll still give it a good try.). As for a PDF version...agreed. I'd like to see P.B. sell PDFs on their Store, especially books they are unlikely to reprint.
...sigh...
Again, thanks all.

They currently have up to issue 48 on DriveThruRPG.com and will add more as time passes.

lol. Seriously, you're that confident that you know more about PDF sales than the people who are actually selling PDFs? I've heard the numbers directly from Kev on how Palladium's .pdf's are selling and they don't support making a massive investment in digitizing the entire Palladium Megaverse.
Nadrakas, good luck on your search, I'd say EBay is a good source for finding a physical copy. Bring it to the next Open House in a couple of years and I'll be glad to sign it for you, as would everyone else involved.

Probably because the PDFs available via DriveThru are barely raw scans, if they were of the same quality that we have for the Lemuria PDF, they would do significantly better. In order for digital offerings to sell well they must be better than what the pirates put out.

Re: Rifter 50 Query
Yes, it's true that some of the older .pdfs are raw scans, because Palladium books published in the old "paste up" style until a few years ago; there literally are no digital files to convert to .pdf for the old books.
However, that's only true for the older books.
BTW, Rifter 50 was added to drivethrurpg yesterday.

Not having OEF isn't the end of the world for quality PDFs, even with scanning them in, you could make sure that A) The pages are straight (which they aren't in many of the DTRPG PDFs) and B) Correcting the OCR with proper text (which the ones on DTRPG don't even have rudimentary OCRing done, much less corrected OCRing)

Instead of just complaining about how crappy they are, why don't you actually do us all a service and list which ones have been done poorly so that we know what to avoid, or even better, can point it out to Palladium so they can rectify the problem?
I look forward to your reply..
