| CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF RIFTS® – ONE GAME SYSTEM – EVERY GENRE – COUNTLESS WORLDS – ENDLESS ADVENTURE |
| | Rifts® SALE Ending – Palladium Books® – Weekly Update – July 17, 2025 |
| Greetings, everyone. Are you enjoying your summer? Are you preparing for conventions and other fun? I sure hope so. Palladium is busy prepping for Gen Con as well as working on new book releases and reprints, and in a constant flurry of excitement. |
| | Final days of Palladium’s big Rifts® sale! 80+ titles on sale – core rules, world books, sourcebooks, poker decks – but time is running out. Not only does the sale end next Wednesday, July 23, but various titles have been selling out, so get ‘em while you can. The DriveThruRPG PDF sale ends Sunday morning. Note: ALL Rifts titles will be on sale at Gen Con, Booth 1515, while supplies last. Available on a first come, first served basis. It’s all to celebrate Rifts turning 35 years old this summer. |
| | | Temporarily sold out but coming back soon! Rifts Black Market (new cover), Rifts Coalition Manhunters (new cover and retitled Psi-Ops: Psychic War), Rifts Bionics Sourcebook, and Rifts® Primer & Adventures are temporarily sold out and we are running low on Rifts Japan, Rifts Underseas and a few others. Note: Many of these sold out titles will be back in print in time for Gen Con where they and all Rifts titles, including Dimension Books, Chaos Earth, and hardcovers will be on sale, while supplies last. Available on a first come, first served basis. |
| | ● Back in Stock in time for the Rifts® Sale! The ever popular Rifts Game Master Guide (softcover and hardcover), Rifts Book of Magic (softcover and hardcover), Rifts Cyberworks Collection (a compendium for Archie Three and a great companion for Titan Robotics), Psycape and Rifts Dinosaur Swamp, among others. And we just sent in another dozen titles for reprint a couple weeks ago. Please keep those orders coming and game on! |
| | | ● Palladium’s new website! Folks are loving the new Palladium website and store. With your help we are finding the bugs and improving response time. The website and store offers many new features including being able to order PDFs directly from Palladium, additional shipping options, and more. Thank you for your help and support.
My Collection is one of the new features. After you create an account, My Collection enables you to create multiple lists of what books you have, what books you want, and what books your friends and fellow gamers have, for your easy reference. There is also a new Wish List feature. Check them out and have fun. |
| | | ● Your old account info and order history have NOT been transferred to the new online store. This means you’ll have to make a new account. We apologize for this inconvenience. For a short time, you can access the old store to see your purchase history and old wish list, so you can take screenshots and/or copy and paste that information elsewhere for your future reference. See the My Collection and Wish List features of the new store, described above. But please access any old info in the next week or two, because we’ll be closing the old store soon. |
| | ● NEW every two weeks! Watch the Official History of Palladium Books while you lounge on your patio sipping a cool drink. A new episode goes live every other week. Gamers are loving them whether they are Palladium fans or just enjoy RPG history. You can find them on the Palladium Books YouTube channel. And there are a whole bunch of them now! Also check out the fun chats with Legion of Myth and great podcasts with the Glitterbois. Hey Podcasters and YouTubers, we are happy to consider appearances on your shows too. Please reach out via the Help Desk. Thanks. |

| ● COMING! Yin-Sloth Expeditions. I think I’m done expanding the material for the Dragon Gate Mountains and Dragonedra City of Dragons. Both are sweet. At the moment, I’m working on two ancient evils that have resurfaced to threaten the modern world. One is revealed in the brand new Orcish Empire adventure and the other is encountered elsewhere. The second is the one that has plagued the Yin-Sloth Jungles across the ages. And I have been adding new material and adventure hooks for other sections too. I continue to feel inspired and am having a blast. |
| |
| ● COMING! Rifts® Phase World® Sourcebooks from Star Anvil, a new licensing partner. Their first Kickstarter probably launches in September (I misspoke when I said mid-July), but you can join their pre-launch campaign now. And you want to, because it’s gonna be great, with new settings, villains, spaceships, weapons, gear and more, easy to adapt to Palladium’s game system and any existing adventure campaign. As for you Savage Worlds players, you’ll be able to dive right in and run with it, because these books use the Savage Worlds game system. Personally, as someone who has seen the product outlines and art, I can’t wait to see these all new Phase World and the Three Galaxies™ sourcebooks. You’ll definitely want to follow and check it out. |

| | | SALE! Palladium Collectibles – at Kevin’s Online Toy & Collectibles eBay Store |
| Palladium collectibles as well as action figures and other items from Kevin Siembieda’s personal collection are on sale!
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! |
| | | | Writing strong
I continue to write away even while I prep for Gen Con and juggle other things.
Yin-Sloth Expeditions is truly epic. I think there are 10 fully fleshed out adventures, plenty of new adventure hooks and encounter tables, 30+ newly rendered maps, and lots of fun. The Yin-Sloth Jungles and the adventures you can have there are brought to life like never before. I’m having a blast. I can’t wait to dive back into Rifts Antarctica next.
I’m not the only one writing. Sean Roberson and Matthew Clements are pounding away on Rifts Bestiary Volume Two, and we have work being done for Chaos Earth First Responders and other titles.
The Palladium flyer has been arriving in mailboxes across the United States for a week now. Sean and I are pleased that you enjoy little surprises like the occasional physical, color flyer. You’re special to us and we want to keep you informed.
This one talked about the Rifts® 35th Anniversary Celebration, current sales, Gen Con (all Rifts titles will be on sale at Booth 1515 while supplies last), upcoming releases, the new website, and other things of interest. And it provides your first look at the new covers for Rifts Psi-Ops: Psychic War (formerly Coalition Manhunters) and Rifts Black Market. Which, by the way, should both be available at Gen Con (and on the Palladium website while we’re at Gen Con).
I’m surprised by how many people who already own these two titles – both outstanding player and campaign resources that are fun to read – tell us they’re going to buy a second copy for the new covers. Nice. Thank you, you will love them.
The big Rifts Sale is ending so order books on sale from the new website (or the old store) before it is over! It ends Wednesday night. Also consider some of the Palladium collectibles and toys on sale from my Ebay store. Otherwise, enjoy the summer, try to get in some gaming, and keep those beautiful imaginations burning bright.
