2026 Christmas Surprise Package – Available now till December 24

No other RPG company on the planet has an offer like this. Truly the best deal in gaming, it started 28 years ago and has become an annual tradition not just for us but for the thousands of fans who partake every year. We have thrilled fans with what they receive every single year, and this year will be no exception.

What is a Palladium Christmas Surprise Package?

• A fun bargain, autographs, and surprises for you.

• $105 (often more) worth of Palladium Books products for only $65 plus shipping. Request autographs and Kevin and available staff will sign your books. You are guaranteed to get an absolute minimum of one hundred and five dollars ($105 USD) worth of products. Value is based on the MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price), NOT the price of any concurrent sales.

• A gift from us to you. Our way of saying thank you and delivering holiday cheer to our loyal fans and valued customers. An expression of appreciation and joy for your love and support.

• It’s a surprise package because you never know exactly what you’re going to get or who will sign your books. We try to include many of the items on your “Wish List,” but we may surprise you with stuff you are not expecting. Things like an issue of The Rifter®, a Palladium RPG or sourcebook(s), miniatures, a one-of-a-kind negative, art prints, notebooks, or other item(s) we think you might enjoy.

• We always try to make each Grab Bag/Surprise Package truly special. Those of you who have ordered in the past know what to expect.

• Ask for RPGs, sourcebooks, hardcover editions, and other items like miniatures, T-shirts (include your size), greeting cards, bookmarks, poker decks, pen and notebook set, an iconic Kevin Siembieda dragonhead sketch ($20 value), prints, and other products. With few exceptions, if it is available in our online store you can request it for our consideration. We make most selections from your Wish List of 15+ items so it is vital you give as a clear list of what you want (not what you have). Please do not ask for items you know are out of stock, out of print, or not yet available.

• All items are “hand-picked” by Kevin Siembieda from YOUR Wish List.

• Each book autographed by Kevin and available staff members, but only if you request them. For many of you, this is the only way to get autographs from Palladium’s staff and creators!

• If you’ve never ordered a Surprise Package before, give it a try early, because you’ll be blown away and probably want to order a few more! It happens all the time. Kevin Siembieda, our Surrogate Santa Claus, likes to make gamers squeal with delight.

• Available now! Shipping now thru December 24, 2026. Ordering sooner than later gives you ample time to avoid the holiday rush and delays in the mail. Better yet, you can order more than one Surprise Package before the offer ends.

Reasons to get a Surprise Package

• Your Cost: $65 US Dollars + shipping to get $105 (or more) worth of Palladium goodies. Most credit cards are accepted. Note: Sorry, Palladium cannot take “Debit Cards” or “gift cards.”

• Surprise Packages are a great way to get holiday presents at bargain prices or treat yourself.

• A wonderful gift for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and any special occasion for the gamers in your life. Since there will be so much in every Surprise Package, ordering just one might enable you to give books to two or more pals.

• Fill holes in your own collection.

• Replace your worn out books with crisp new ones.

• Try new games and settings you’ve been wanting to try or look interesting.

• Get autographs, but you need to request them.

• Fun and surprise. As a “grab bag”/“surprise package” you never know exactly what you will receive, but that’s part of the fun. We always try to send as many of your “special wants” as we can (at least two, almost always more).

• Rifts® Savage Worlds Gamers, this is your chance to get piles of Rifts® books for world information, monsters, magic and adventures. Sorry, Rifts® for Savage Worlds books are not available.

• Say hello and share your thoughts with us in the Comments Section, but please keep them brief (not more than half a page).

Please spread the word to gamers everywhere

The Palladium Christmas Surprise Package is only publicized by word of mouth, the Palladium website – www.palladiumbooks.com – and Weekly Updates, so please tell everyone you know, talk about it on social media, and buy at least one for yourself (and one for every gamer you know). Have a joyful holiday season.

Ordering Online

Ordering Online is the fastest and easiest way to order.

• Your Cost: $65 US Dollars + shipping to get $105 (or more) worth of Palladium goodies.
  

Kevin Siembieda will personally select $105 (often more) worth of product from your list and needs enough to work with. This way, you don’t know what 3-5 books will be sent to you. Note: Product value is based on the MSRP, not sale prices. You typically get 3-5 books for only $65 plus shipping. These days, you could pay that for one core rule book.

• Fill out the Wish List and the requested data. Just like what you’d send to Santa Claus when you were a kid, we need a Wish List of 15 (or more) Palladium products. Please provide all the info requested as it helps to ensure we create a special Surprise Package you will enjoy. Orders with fewer than 12 books/items may be deemed unfillable and your order refused and refunded to you.

List only what you WANT. Do not list books you already have.

List products you know are in stock and available in Palladium’s online store. Please do not ask for products that are out of print or not yet published, like Rifts® Bestiary Two, Rifts Antartica, or Beyond Arcanum.

Please list products in the order of preference starting with your most wanted. You can also specify special wants in the Comment Section, but be brief and clear.

• Indicate whether you want autographs. Yes or no.

If you request autographs, Kevin Siembieda and available staff and freelance creators will sign EVERY book in your box! For many of you across the country and overseas this is the only way you are likely to get autographs from Kevin and crew. Take advantage of it. Many people find autographs make the items that much more special and valuable, and we are happy to oblige. There is no charge for this service.

• Tell us your favorite Palladium games.
• Tell us Palladium games you’d like to try.
• Indicate whether you would like art prints or swag. Yes or no.
• Indicate whether you would like to be considered for a T-shirt. Yes or no. If you DO WANT to be considered for a T-shirt, please make sure to give us your T-shirt SIZE.
• Comments and suggestions are welcomed, but please keep them brief.
• Kevin and his elves are NOT mind readers. Please provide clear details of what you want (Wish List of available items) or you may be disappointed and may receive items you already own or don’t want. You do NOT make our job easier when you say something like “I own everything, surprise me,” or “I don’t care, anything special.” It makes our job much, much more difficult. We want to make each Grab Bag special, but because we don’t know you or what books you own, like, or want, we do not have a clue as to what to send you unless you give us a variety of items on your list.

Please say something like this: “I own it all, but would love any duplicate Fantasy books signed by the Palladium crew.” Or “I have most of it, surprise me with T-shirts or unique items like signed art prints, or a coffee mug, if available,” and so on. For BEST RESULTS: List 15+ specific items on your wish list for each Grab Bag you order.

• If you have a question or special consideration, call 734-721-2900 – 10:00 AM till 6:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday thru Friday. If you get no answer, please leave a voice message and/or send us a Help Desk email.

Disclaimers & Notices:

1. We cannot guarantee your satisfaction. While Kevin Siembieda and the Palladium staff personally TRY to make each and every Surprise Package special, it is a “Grab Bag.” Buyers may not always be satisfied, though we seem to succeed with most. Purchasing multiple Surprise Packages will result in multiple duplicate items.

2. Lightly Damaged Goods: Some books sent in the Surprise Packages may show slight damage such as a bent corner, scuffs, scratches, dings, dents, dirt smudges, shop wear, crushed corner, misaligned cover, etc. This way we can send you MORE product. Please let us know if you don’t mind damaged books and we may be able to add even more items to your Grab Bag! Note: Of course, we cannot control damage that may occur in the mail/shipping (Media Mail being the worst in that regard), but we ship everything in a well-packed cardboard box or tube.

3. Each Surprise Package is a “Grab Bag,” so do NOT expect to get every item you want or on you list. That’s not how the Surprise Package works. If you want specific products guaranteed, place a regular order at full retail to get the items you desire. At Palladium’s sole discretion, WISH LISTS WITH LESS THAN 12 IN STOCK PRODUCTS may be deemed unfillable, rejected, and your money refunded. If you cannot come up with a Wish List of at least a dozen available products, please do NOT order a Christmas Surprise Package. Wait for a different sale and order exactly what you want.

4. Palladium Books reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute or add products not on your Wish List, such as an issue of The Rifter®, sourcebooks, art books, art prints, bookmarks, card deck, one-of-a-kind negatives from books (they look like woodcuts), out-of-print books, gold editions, miniatures, mouse pads, color maps, posters, greeting cards, T-shirts, coffee mugs, pens, pencils, notepads/books, and other items.

Notes on Shipping

• Select the desired method of shipping. We recommend UPS. It is fast, insured, and has reliable tracking capabilities. Media Mail is usually cheapest but slower and less reliable.

• Make sure your address is correct and make sure it includes your APARTMENT NUMBER. If you recently moved, make sure you have entered your correct and current address! Palladium is not responsible for loss if you give us incorrect or incomplete shipping information.

• Please double-check all information before you submit.

Media Mail is usually least expensive (around $15 per Surprise Package), but it is a less reliable, slower, low priority classification of US mail. During the holiday season a Media Mail package can take 10-20 days to arrive, so place holiday gift orders as early as possible to get it in time for Christmas. WARNING: Use Media Mail at your own risk! If a Media Mail package is lost or damaged in transit, Palladium will NOT replace the contents.

Other methods of shipping via USPS (United States Postal Service) are more reliable and faster than Media Mail, but cost more. A lot of customers use Ground Advantage or Priority Mail.

We recommend UPS Ground to USA customers. It is reliable, insured, and fast, but it is more expensive than Media Mail. UPS Ground packages arrive to ALL States, except Alaska and Hawaii, in 3-5 business days. UPS cannot ship to a P.O. Box, so please provide a street address or ship via USPS.

Make sure your address is correct. Palladium is NOT responsible for loss if you provide an incorrect or incomplete address, or if you MOVE before the Christmas Surprise Package/Grab Bag arrives. The loss is yours. DO NOT FORGET to include your APARTMENT NUMBER! Note: Rare books and one-of-a-kind items like prints and gold editions CANNOT be replaced if lost or damaged in the mail.

Do you live outside the USA? The X-Mas Surprise Package is a great way to get books at a savings. You are able to offset the high shipping costs from the USA by getting $105 – often more – worth of product for only $65 US Dollars. We always try to make the orders going outside of North America extra special to make up for the shipping cost.

Priority Mail International to most locations in Canada, the EU, the UK, and many other countries should be around $85-$95 US Dollars. HOWEVER, the low cost of the Surprise Package helps mitigate the shipping cost. This is also a way to get signed books and limited edition prints or unique items. Please Note: We feel your pain regarding the high cost of shipping. We are not Amazon. We do not get the massive discounts that multi-billion dollar company receives. We only pass along the cost of your chosen shipping method.
