| Palladium Videos & Reels Are On FireGamers are loving Palladium’s new video content. People new to Palladium and long-time supporters alike are loving our videos. You can find long-form video chats (20-45 minutes) on the Palladium Books YouTube channel, and 1-2 minute reels on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc. The reels have been brief overviews of various Palladium RPGs. The newest have been for Rifts, but we have 4-6 for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness, a couple for Nightbane, and many more are coming. My co-conspirator J-M DeFoggi and I are having fun making them and experimenting with tone, information, and visuals. Forgive us if we get a little silly sometimes or sound too serious at others. So far we’ve been hitting the right note. And don’t worry, Sean will be in the hot seat soon enough too. I can’t have all the fun. COMING SOON! Live stream on Legion of Myth with Sean Owen Roberson and Kevin Siembieda – noon Eastern Time – July 5th. Yep, another fun chat with the guys and viewers about a bunch of different things. It’s always fun and we hope it’s insightful. You can check out our most recent chat below.

| Palladium’s Website Maintenance & Upgrades Temporary website issues. We’ve been suffering through lingering website issues that have impacted our online store and access to the PalladiumBooks.com website. Grrrrrrr, that has been especially annoying because we have offered a number of sales that some people couldn’t participate in. Similarly, our video shorts have been enjoyed by thousands, but many viewers could not gain access to our actual website. Sheesh. The PalladiumBooks.com webstore is open for business. Palladium’s online store is working fine now, so come and get your must have Ninja Turtles books, dice, and Game Master Screen, the new Island at the Edge of the World, 2nd Ed. (Fantasy), and certainly plumb the depths of the extended Fantasy RPG Sale. Please spread the word about the sale and that Palladium’s online store is up and running. To ensure we have permanent solutions in place for the smooth operation of the entire website at optimum capacity, we are temporarily shutting down the Forums and other functions for deep dive maintenance and upgrades. We don’t know how long that will take, so please be patient and understanding. |

| 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. |

| | | Closing Thoughts – Summer FunDoesn’t the world feel like it’s on fire these days? It’s not, but all too often it sure feels that way. We all feel it. There’s a negativity and malaise we all need to battle against, because it’s an illusion. The world and our lives are not perfect, faaaar from it, but they aren’t on fire either. Well, not for most of us. Take a deep breath, hold it for a moment, and let it go. It will be okay. I promise. Things are seldom as bad as they often seem. Don’t let the media and political pundits work you up. Stay frosty. Be positive and enjoy life and the people around you. It’s summer. Blue skies, sunlight, and warm summer breezes. Stop from time to time to smell the flowers. Drink in all the summer sights, sounds, and glorious colors. We’ve gotten our fair share of rain storms here in Michigan this spring, but the cloud formations afterward have been incredible. And when the sun comes out and the birds are singing, it feels like a brand new day. Our chance to take a moment to drink it all in, and relax, even if it’s only for a few minutes. Use that moment to recalibrate and try to make it a new day full of wonder and promise. Don’t forget to do something nice for yourself. You deserve it. Yes, you really do. Take a moment. Treat yourself to an ice cream or a nice cold beer. Heck, you may not realize it, but you need the TMNT & Other Strangeness RPG books. I have never been happier or as proud of anything Palladium has ever published. They’re not the old black and white books you may remember or have heard about. They are new and improved on every level. Updated, expanded tomes with superior layout and filled with joy and love. They are as near perfect as we have ever published. Their quality is unrivaled in the game industry. A celebration of RPG fun, the Ninja Turtles, and Erick Wujcik. If they don’t restore your sense of childhood glee, nothing will. After you’ve treated yourself, call a friend or reach out to Mom or Dad, or brother or sister just to say, “Hi, I love you.” Decompress by seeing a movie – we thoroughly enjoyed Masters of the Universe, The Mandalorian & Grogu, and I’m looking forward to Toy Story 5 and Supergirl. On Saturday, I’m going to a celebration of life gathering for my dear friend Louis Arroy. It will be bitter sweet, but I’ll get to see friends who are like family, share fond memories, laugh a little, cry a little, and enjoy good people and some good eats. Father’s Day I’ll be missing my Dad, Henry, thinking of my children and the friends who are my extended family. Sure, we are all working like dogs these days. That’s certainly true here at Palladium Books. Those long hours and hard work can wear you out, but we are working toward something better. We are working toward bringing you the books you want and some things you may not have even considered. We are building toward the future and letting our creativity soar. New books are really coming. I wish I could tell you about what’s in the pipeline and the exciting stuff happening behind the scenes, but it’s too soon. So, summer is here. Don’t let fear and worry and talk of hate knock you down. Get back on your feet and refuse to give up. See the wonder in the world, in books, in RPGs, in the people you know. Seek the positive. Be the light and let that light warm you and guide you and those around you. It’s difficult, but you can do it. We all can. It’s so worthwhile. That’s what the world needs right now: more light, laughter, joy, and camaraderie — and it all starts with you. If inspiration for it comes out of an RPG book or game box, all the better. Let your imaginations and joy soar high into the summer sky, and game on. – Kevin Siembieda, Game Designer, Writer, Friend |
