| | Rare Palladium Collectibles Now Available at Kevin’s Online Toy & Collectibles eBay Store
Palladium collectibles, books, artwork, and negatives, as well as action figures, toys, and other items from Kevin Siembieda’s personal collection are available from this Ebay store! New items added regularly.
One-of-a-kind Palladium Books negatives are always very popular items at the Palladium Open House, Gen Con, and conventions, and are catching on as rare collectibles, unique in and of themselves. Last year at Granite State Comic Con, Kevin Eastman had TMNT negatives from the first comic book on display. Before digital printing, pages of a book were laid out by hand on a board, and each page was photographed. These are the photographic negatives being sold as individual works of art and collectibles. When matted or framed on a white background they look like dynamic wood cut prints. — and they are on sale right now! |

| | | Closing Thoughts – It’s a Crazy World
Yesterday I had two friends tell me that “it’s a freaking crazy world out there.” For sure. Just try not to let all that craziness drive you absolutely bonkers! Seriously.
Find escape in reading and playing role-playing games, or reading comic books or novels, watching a movie, going to art fairs, walking outdoors, bike riding, sports, music (I’ve been listening to a lot of music), feeding the squirrels, getting together with friends and family, and whatever else helps you to unwind, relax a little, and escape what can feel like an all too crushing reality.
The last four weeks here in Palladiumville have been especially crazy. There have been unexpected moments, laughter, frustration, disappointment, anger, sorrow, fun, and silliness. We’re going through all kinds of changes for the better. People are coming and going, conventions and marketing are being planned, contract negotiations are underway, and business stuff is flying at us from all directions. And that’s on top of the day-to-day demands and work on books. There are some days that are positively dizzying.
Don’t be afraid to try new things. In fact, I encourage it. Try not to go into whatever it may be with strong expectations. Enter into it with an open mind and willingness to be flexible, especially when it involves being creative. We’re doing just that as we explore all kinds of options in social media and streaming video. A lot of people suggest a great many things and some insist it must be done one certain way. Ah, but experience has taught me there’s never just one way to do anything. I like to research and try multiple approaches. So we listen, consider, trust the people we know, and try an array of things to see which works best. We are experimenting like crazy and having fun doing it. And that’s the point, try new things, learn, improve, and most of all have fun doing it.
When we went to see the Mandalorian & Grogu we did so without expectations and looooved it. We found it to be a fun, uplifting, action adventure movie. I recently tried some comic books I wouldn’t normally buy, but gave ‘em a try on the recommendation of the store manager who I have learned to trust. I thoroughly enjoyed two and didn’t care for the third, but I was glad I gave them a try.
In short, try new things – little things – to temporarily escape from this crazy world. AND appreciate everything you have: your friends, family, a beautiful summer day, and the little many little things that make you smile. Stop. Take a deep breath, and marvel at the blue sky, cool cloud formations, the budding flowers, and think to yourself, “life is good.” On the ride home from an outing, Sean and I marveled at the brightest, widest, double rainbow either of us had ever seen. It was a joyful moment and one shared with a friend.
I’ve been enjoying glorious morning walks before I go to work and savor the songs of robins singing away, the cool breeze, and crisp blue sky. The other day, a hummingbird flew right up to me and hovered for a moment as if to say, good morning, sir. It was amazing. Enjoy those moments. Feel the joy and sense of wonder and peace they bring. Use those moments to recharge and catch your breath. Let those special activities and occurrences remind you that the world is not only filled with crime and hate, ugliness and fear, but beauty, joy, and goodness.
I hope our Fantasy, Nightbane, and DriveThruRPG sales bring you a little excitement and joy. The same with the awesome TMNT & Other Strangeness books and that “crazy” Nightbane Audiobook crowdfunder with those attractive foil hardcover Nightbane books. I keep telling folks, those books (and dice set) will be super-limited editions that will only go up in value on the collectors market, plus they’re just cool to own. Ah, but that’s the collector in me talking.
Stay frosty, hang tough, enjoy the little moments, and stop watching so much news and political negativity. Switch to some comedies, listen to some music, and do things that make you smile and sing like a robin.
– Kevin Siembieda, Game Designer, Writer, Friend
