Holy Mutant Turtles! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness Redux RPG, Transdimensional Adventures Redux sourcebook, Black, White & Red Editions, Mutagen Green Dice, and Game Screen are all marked down 40% and selling like mad.
It was all hands on deck to pick, pack, and ship the oodles of orders pouring in. Fantastic! Spread the word and keep the orders coming.
As stated in the October 8th Weekly Update, though we would have loved to create brand new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness books and RPG accessories, we were unable to reach mutually acceptable licensing terms, and Palladium Books has chosen not to renew the Ninja Turtles license.
As a result, we are offering all TMNT & Other Strangeness items at a big 40% discount. Sold on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. This is a limited time offer. Get yours while you still can.
Each book features the classic Palladium RPG rules system, updated, edited, revised and clarified for modern sensibilities. It has been thoughtfully remastered with a new easy-to-use layout and color art. Each book is jam-packed with all-new material including bonus artwork, upgraded adventures, and more.

| Palladium Christmas Surprise Package Offer Starts End of October, 2026
What is a Christmas Surprise Package? Big savings, Christmas joy, autographs, and a heaping helping of our appreciation in a box of games for you. A 29 year tradition of gratitude from us to you.
You get a minimum of $105 (often more) worth of Palladium gaming products – RPGs and sourcebooks, and/or miniatures, poker decks, art prints, bookmarks, notebooks, coffee mugs, T-Shirt, etc., and we’ll sign all the books if you want us to do so. Your cost: $65 plus shipping. Heck, you’ll pay that for one sourcebook these days. It’s our way of saying thank you and happy holidays to all of you from all of us. They make a nice treat for you and great gifts for the gamers in your life.
The thousands of you who get one or several Surprise Packages every year know this is the best deal in gaming. No other game company offers anything like it.
If you’ve never gotten a Surprise Package, try one as soon as possible because you are likely to love what you get and want to order another one or two before the offer ends Christmas Eve.
How it works! We’ll provide more information in an Update and in the store when the offer goes live, but here are the basics. You pay for the Christmas Surprise Package, shipping, AND you fill out a special form with information for us that includes a Wish List of 12-15 Palladium book titles (and/or other products) just like you would if you were sending a letter to Santa Claus. Then Kevin Siembieda personally selects 3-6 books (varies depending on the retail value/MSRP of each item) with a total value of $105 or more. If you want your books signed, Kevin and available staff and freelancers will sign them, and we ship it out to you.
It’s a surprise package – just like a Christmas present – because you don’t know which of the books/items on your Wish List we’re sending you, who signed them, or what little extras (print, notebook, bookmarks, etc.) we might have included. Pure holiday joy and cheer from us to you. Not available till the end of October. |

| Live Streams Social Media Fun
Friday Night Live by the Philadelphia Area Game Expo – A fun online chat with Kevin Siembieda. Check out the September 11, Friday Night Live on the Philadelphia Area Game Expo website/YouTube Channel. I did a fun livestream on the show with Ron Meischler, Phil Wert, Jennifer Cash the Blind Bard, and fellow guest Rob Aldermann at Pulp Hummock Press (his Overlords of Steel RPG crowdfunder, it looks very interesting). We had a blast talking about a lot of different subjects. |
|
| | And that’s not all. Palladium Books YouTube channel now has new weekly posts! There’s a new chat with Sean Owen Roberson about the GB Codex last week, Kevin Siembieda talks about The Mechanoids this week, and coming this month Rifts Mercenaries, Kevin’s take on Palladium Alignments, a new bit about the history of Palladium Books, Northern Gun, and more. Each is fun and provides new insight about our many games and sourcebooks. Watch for our reels too. |

| | | Closing Thoughts – Joy over the Rifts Glitter Boy Codex
Thank you for making me, Sean, Daniel, Will Erwin (author), Mike Majestic (colorist), Steven Cummings (artist), and the entire Palladium crew happy people with your resounding support of the Glitter Boy Codex Crowdfunder; which also includes the Mechanoid Collection Redux Edition. You have no idea how much your support and kind words mean to us.
We always put our hearts and souls into everything we do, but we can’t always tell how gamers are going to respond. So much work goes into every book, and doing color books adds a whole new layer of art direction, communication, and work. Likewise, designing, creating, and promoting a crowdfunding campaign is a ton of hard work. Again, Sean and Daniel have put in so much effort and long days of work, it’s crazy. Me too, but not on the same level as those two. Great job guys!
To have such strong support and excitement over our hard work is rewarding and makes it all worthwhile. As most of you know, it’s not just about making sales for us, it’s about creating art and making you, the World’s Greatest Fans, happy. We strive to create something that gamers will enjoy and love and cherish for years. Seeing your excitement and positivity lifts our spirits sky-high. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts on behalf of everyone at Palladium and directly involved in the creation of the Rifts Glitter Boy Codex and campaign rewards.
As for the Mechanoid Collection Redux Edition, I am over the moon that Sean, digital painter Luis Delgado, and you are so thrilled to see Palladium Books’ very first RPG – my very first published RPG filled with my artwork – brought back in this special, updated, color Redux Edition. The reverence that Sean and Luis are giving the book as well as the excitement from you, our fans, is wonderful and moving for me. I am overjoyed by the response. Thank you.
Check out the Rifts Glitter Boy Codex Crowdfunder for all the very cool books and RPG accessories it offers.
I am prepping for Palladium’s Christmas Surprise Packages to go live by the last day or two of October (that’s a lot of work too). It’s coming folks.
And please get your copy(s) of the TMNT & Other Strangeness RPG, Transdimensional Adventures sourcebook, and other TMNT & OS products while they are still available. They are wonderful, fun, and beautiful. We are so proud of them. It was a privilege and an honor for Sean and me to bring this beloved role-playing game back to you, even if it was only for a short time. You’ll love them and so will the gamers and TMNT fans you may buy them for as holiday gifts. They don’t have to know you got them at a discount. Ho, ho, ho.
Thanks again. Keep the excitement alive and always game on no matter what. – Kevin Siembieda, Sean Owen Roberson, and the entire Palladium Team |
