Palladium Rpg Swamp Pdf Free Download

By Kevin Siembieda

Working away on many fronts. As you can see from this Update, this has been a very, very busy and productive week for all of us. We received and shipped Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™, many of us worked furiously on The Rifter® #74, I have been coordinating and approving artwork for The Rifter® #74, Hell Followed™ (a Dead Reign® sourcebook), Secrets of the Atlanteans™, and Palladium Fantasy's Garden of the Gods™, as well as art approvals for Savage Rifts®, among other things. And there are a number of other things being worked on for several projects, Robotech® not the least of them. Read on.

UPDATE: Coalition States: Heroes of Humanity^™ Sourcebook – Available now!

Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ arrived at the Palladium warehouse Thursday afternoon. See the updated description for details. Most pre-orders shipped Thursday afternoon and are already on their way to those of you who had a standing order. Distributor orders and the rest of pre-orders shipped today.

I think this adventure sourcebook will blow some people's minds. Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ is going to change the Rifts® setting in North America in ways you may have never imagined. All in a good way. New combinations of player characters, strange alliances, conflicts and ways to refresh and change existing men-at-arms characters. Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ shakes up the status quo and breathes new life into any Rifts® campaign set in North America. It should inspire all kinds of new adventures and fun. A free preview of Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ is available at DriveThruRPG.com. Keep those orders coming, because every Rifts fan is going to want this book.

UPDATE: Rifter^® #74 – in final production – End of June (or early July) release

All the articles for The Rifter® #74 have been selected and artwork assigned. Wayne, Alex and Chuck have been at it all week! Alex editing articles and Chuck finalizing the next chapter of the Splicers® adventure source material. Half the issue is "official" source material, too! See the full description and cover elsewhere in this description. Btw, if you have been wanting to get The Rifter® #73 (all official source material!) and the Double Issue of The Rifter #71/72, you should probably think about doing so soon. Both remain in stock but are running low. If you have been meaning to pick them up, you'll want to do so before they sell out.

UPDATE: Rifter^® #75 – in production – July release

Articles for The Rifter® #75 are being selected. Editing and art to quickly follow. We are always looking for Rifter® submissions, so don't be shy. Send in your adventure settings, towns, villains, monsters, etc. to share with other gamers around the world.

UPDATE: CS Heroes of Humanity^™ Arsenal Sourcebook – July or August

I am already fast at work on several books, including CS Heroes of Humanity™ Arsenal, Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™, The Rifter® #74, The Rifter® #75 and others. The CS Arsenal sourcebook presents more background details about the Coalition States and the Minion War™ along with mouth-watering new Coalition weapons, power armor, robots, combat vehicles, and other goodies. It is a companion title to Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ but works as a stand-alone sourcebook as well.

• New CS weapons and gear.
• New CS SAMAS and power armor.
• New CS robots and combat vehicles.
• More good stuff of all kinds!

See the description elsewhere and place your pre-orders. Looking like a July or August release.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Secrets of the Atlanteans^™ – July or August

Check out the finished cover drawing by John Zeleznik. Color comes next. Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans is going to be another dynamic Dimension Book with applications for characters and adventures on Rifts Earth, Phase World® and across the Megaverse®. Looking like a July or August release.

UPDATE: Rifts^® The Disavowed^™

Just notes on this one, as I have been focused on Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans and CS Heroes of Humanity™ Arsenal, as the ideas come. These books are stand-alone products related by theme, time-line and interlocking events to Heroes of Humanity™, but present their own avenues of adventure. Epic fun is coming this Spring and Summer.

UPDATE: Rifts^® Sovietski^™

In final development. The cover has been assigned to John Zeleznik. Interior artwork to be assigned.

UPDATE: Savage Rifts ^® for Savage Worlds^®

We continue to approve finished art and design elements. I just reviewed and approved the Rifts North America map today. All of it continues to look good. The Savage Rifts® RPG line looks like it is going to be excellent.

UPDATE: Garden of the Gods^™ for Palladium Fantasy RPG^®

This book is calling my name, but I have other things I need to finish first. In the meanwhile, I think I will be assigning more artwork. This is just one of three Fantasy titles in the works.

UPDATE: Hell Followed^™ sourcebook for Dead Reign^®

I sent out the material for illustration by Nick Bradshaw today. Hell Followed will be a 160 page sourcebook written by Taylor White.

UPDATE: Robotech^® RPG Tactics^™

Juggling a lot, including what's next for Robotech® RPG Tactics™. It is definitely not forgotten or abandoned by Palladium. Things are boiling. More in a week or two. Much more to come.

Rifts^® Secrets of the Coalition States: The Disavowed™ – Summer

"Desperate times require desperate measures. War has nothing to do with morality or justice. It's all about winning or dying. We cannot bind our hands with high ideals, even our own, or worry about the laws of renegade nations or the rights of alien people. We must fight fire with fire. And you are the match." – Colonel Lyboc addressing a Disavowed team

The Disavowed are so Top Secret that their existence is known only to a handful of the Coalition States' most elite, top echelon, with Joseph Prosek II the mastermind behind the Disavowed operation, and Colonel Lyboc its shadowy face. Find out who these men and women are. How the Disavowed get away with using magic, traveling to other parts of Rifts Earth and even to other dimensions in pursuit of enemies and strategic information that cannot be had through conventional means. Learn about the secret parameters in which these hard-boiled warriors, secretly hand-picked by Joseph Prosek II, operate, why almost every mission is considered a suicide mission, and why they must forever be the Disavowed.

• CS operatives so secret that even the top military and political leaders right up to Emperor Prosek know nothing about them. And if they did know, would they condone their activity or condemn it?
• Are the Disavowed heroes or renegades? Assassins or soldiers? Madmen or super-patriots? Or a little of them all?
• Unsung heroes who keep the CS safe, or thugs and pawns of a shadow agency within the Coalition government?
• What role does the Vanguard play in this group?
• How do they reward their D-Bee "teammates" when the mission is over?
• What happens to the Disavowed when they have seen or learned too much? Adventure ideas galore and so much more.
• Written by Kevin Siembieda and Matthew Clements.
• Final page count and price yet to be determined, but probably 96 pages – $16.95 retail – Cat. No. 892.

Upcoming Palladium Books® Convention Events

Palladium Books does not have to be an exhibitor at a convention or be counted among the guests to support that convention. We are happy to support events running Palladium games with prizes for best players, other swag, and donations to charity auctions. If you are a Game Master running Palladium gaming events, or a convention hosting them, PLEASE contact Palladium Books via the Help Desk or the Megaversal Ambassadors, or call the Palladium offices to get our support. Just give us plenty of advance notice so we can confirm the conventions and the Palladium gaming events, determine the swag and ship it out. Plus we are glad to promote conventions and gaming events right here in the Weekly Updates. Below are just some of the conventions hosting Palladium game events this year.

GrandCon – Grand Rapids, Michigan – September 16, 17 & 18, 2016

Looking for a nice medium-sized convention of around 2,000 gamers? Then consider GrandCon in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It's only about 2 hours and 15 minutes from Westland, and even closer for folks living in Livonia, Plymouth, Novi, and cities farther west. Ideal for any Michiganders and gamers living in Illinois, Indiana and maybe even Wisconsin and eastern Iowa.

I (Kevin Siembieda) am a guest along with Sean Patrick Fannon, co-author of Savage Rifts® for the Savage Worlds game system, and many other guests. Sean and I will be doing panels about Savage Rifts® and role-playing game design, world building and running gaming events (I'll probably run Lord DeSilca/Fantasy and/or Beyond the Supernatural), and Palladium Books will have a few tables in the dealers' room manned by Wayne Smith and Charles Walton II (with artwork for sale). All of us will be present to chat with gamers and sign books. I am thrilled to have a rapidly growing game convention like GrandCon in western Michigan, and they have even bigger plans for 2017. Michiganders, help support this convention. We need and deserve a large gaming convention in our state.
