The a link to the tentative schedule went live on the home page of our website over the weekend. Here is an url for it as well -

It is a 'tentative' schedule only because we are still getting GM's submitting games they want to run, and we want to try to get everyone in.

VIP Thursday is a lot of fun and great for buying limited run stuff, but its only 100 people and it costs a chunk. I've done it twice and greatly enjoyed it (and highly recommend it too), but in 2018, I think it would be fun to host HOSER THURSDAY gaming at the hotel. Instead of a great catered mea...

Scott Gibbons

Hi all,

My apologies - due (mostly) to an error I made when collecting everyone's info (I used the wrong file and didn't discover my error until I had finished the schedule) sending said schedule out to you all has been delayed. It should go out very soon.

Scott Gibbons

It's 58 degrees right now outside the warehouse, slightly higher inside, probably about 65. Forecasts for next week (though they always change) are currently calling for nearly identical weather to today, though temperatures in the morning will be a bit lower. I'm comfortable in short sleeves and pa...

We can always use help getting ready - anyone who'd like to come help is more than welcome!

Scott Gibbons

There will indeed be RRT games at the 2018 POH - I spoke with Peter Pidrak last night and he is planning on bringing a large setup and running a tournament.

Wow, nearly a month since my last Murmur. I blame Gen Con (because of course it couldn't possibly be my fault for losing track of the time, right? ). I've gotten many private messages over the past two months that all basically share the same beginning - "Hey Scott, have you thought about doing...

You are very welcome! We are happy that people have been enjoying the bundles. And we appreciate you and everyone else who have made purchases, which have not only helped support us but also many other people around the world through the donations for Doctors Without Borders and the American Red Cro...

Scott Gibbons

Hi all! A few days ago forum member Jack Burton asked me a question I've seen come up from time to time in the past. What method of sales helps Palladium out more? In other words, would the company rather we purchase directly from the website, from DTRPG, FLGSs, bookstores selling new product on Ama...

Scott Gibbons

In the latest Murmur KS said that SotA has gone to the printer and he is already working on Nightbane: Dark Designs. The last few weeks have been filled with very long days as I threw myself into writing and getting Rifts® Secrets of the Atlanteans™ done and to the printer. Then I immediately start...

Scott, speaking of sending money Palladium's way, I have a question: What method of sales helps Palladium out more? In other words, would the company rather we purchase directly from the website, from DTRPG, FLGSs, bookstores selling new product on Amazon, etc? (Obviously, used product from Amazon ...

Scott Gibbons

Edit: Any chance you can suggest a few titles that won't be featured in the bundle? I'd like to take advantage of the current Christmas in July sale on DTRPG, and it ends before the bundle. You'll be safe with World Books (except the ones already in the bundle ) and Dimension Books for the remainde...

Scott Gibbons

I posted this in a similar thread in 'All Things Palladium Books', but figured here was a good place as well.

"I talked with Kevin about this and he is okay with having some of the games at the Open House be Savage Rifts.

"

So feel free to get your Savage on!

Scott Gibbons

Glad to hear people are liking the Bundle! Just so everyone knows, the good people at Bundle of Holding generally add a few new titles to the bundle as time goes on (such as the Game Master Guide). For those who buy before the new titles are added, they get those automatically added to what they can...

Hi all!

I talked with Kevin about this and he is okay with having some of the games at the Open House be Savage Rifts.

Hi Dreamstreamer! I'm glad you are liking our first Bundle of Holding offer. For those who don't know what Bundle of Holding is and don't want to read through all the posts in this thread, the official announcement about it will be in the Weekly Update that should go live later tomorrow. Hope everyo...

Scott Gibbons

Hi all! Just thought I'd pop in to draw back the curtain a bit more on how and why Palladium Books does the things it does - not that anyone's interested, right? Today's topic: Why Your Friendly Local Game Store is Essential to Palladium's Success, and What We Are Doing About It First off, let me ac...

Scott Gibbons

Have the commitment of weekly murmurs from Kevin and Scott already dribbled to a halt? It over a week for Scott, but he does have today and tomorrow to fit it in 'this week'. It is almost 3 weeks since hearing from KS. Sorry about that - we've been working to get Secrets of the Atlanteans finished ...

Scott Gibbons

Next question: When do the tickets go on sale and which hotel should we book? I have always thought that POH should be every two or three years. Preferably on anniversary years like Rifts 30th anniversary or Palladium Books 40th. That is often enough for us to enjoy but not so often that people tha...

Scott Gibbons

Thanks to everyone who voted and posted their thoughts. The decision has been made for a 2018 Palladium Open House. As for the next one after that, we'll be looking hard at what time period makes sense - 1 year? 2 years? 18 months (to satisfy those who would prefer the Fall instead of the Spring)? F...

Scott Gibbons

Hi all! I haven't posted much on this thread or the prior poll because I did not want to unduly influence anyone's vote. There is a misconception however on the amount of work to be put into the POH (especially in regard to the effect it might have on producing more books) that I would like to corre...

Scott Gibbons

Hi all! Based on our last poll, there is plenty of people interested in us having another Palladium Open House. At this point, we're all in agreement to host another Palladium Open House, (Yay! ). The question is whether it is in April of 2018 or April 2019. We'd like to know which YOU prefer. One w...

Scott Gibbons

Hi all! Wow, does the time fly! I was getting ready to close up for the day when I realized that I never posted a Murmur last week. I wanted to answer a comment that I saw a lot of the other week regarding the Vacuum Bottle Tumblers that are being made available for a limited time. The perception is...

The poll has now been made so that you can change your vote.

Scott Gibbons

Hi all,

I just posted a poll over in the All Things Palladium Books forum asking for your opinions on whether or not A) we should hold another OFFICIAL POH, and B) if yes, when?

If you haven't already voted, I'd appreciate it is you went over and checked it out.

Thanks! - Scott the Very Involved

Scott Gibbons

Hi all, Kevin and I have been discussing maybe holding another Palladium Open House, possibly in 2018 or maybe in 2019, and we wanted to get your thoughts on this. Due to the fact that you can somewhat heat a warehouse, but you can't cool one down (at least, not with our warehouse) we'd want to hold...

Scott Gibbons

Hi all! Thank you to everyone who has expressed such warm welcomes and excitement at my taking the position of business manager with Palladium Books. I sincerely hope to live up to your expectations! As Kevin stated in the last Weekly Update , he and I will both be posting Murmurs at least once a we...

Hi all! Regarding the specific I.P. they are working with, under our Non-Disclosure with the production company I'm not allowed to say much beyond "it is not Rifts". However, what I can say is that they are not looking to create another Walking Dead. I know this doesn't help much, but unti...

Scott Gibbons

Machinations was the first book we turned to, unfortunately while it has the character, it does not have the particular image that we are looking for. Thanks for the response though!

Scott Gibbons

Unfortunately none of those is the picture we are trying to find.

Thanks for trying though.

Scott Gibbons

Hi all, My wife and I have been going nuts trying to find a picture for one of our campaigns - it is a black & white (no gray-scale) of a burster lighting a cigarette and his hair is on fire. It's not in the collected comics from the Rifter, Machinations of Doom, but it is that burster character...

Scott Gibbons

You e-mail the submission then mail in the signed consent form. You can mail the submission in with the consent form, but that is less efficient for you (printing more stuff, potentially higher mailing cost) and just piles up Wayne's office.

Scott Gibbons

Excellent points Forar! And I agree, the early giddy days of Kickstarter have ended as people have matured in their expectations. I hear that there are even university classes now for how to run a successful crowd-funding campaign.

Scott Gibbons

Well, this is interesting. Carmen has decided to cancel the current kickstarter, and plans to re-launch it later on, now that he's got an idea of what his backers are expecting from him early on. I like it - it shows a good level of maturity. There's a number of projects which have cancelled once, ...

Scott Gibbons

I'm pledged, can't wait to get it already!

Scott Gibbons

Just read that the Kickstarter get going on Monday - can't wait! I am drooling over the little teasers that have been dropped - I can only imagine how blown my mind will be once I have this game in my hands!!!

Scott Gibbons

Sweet!! I WANT THAT GLITTER BOY!!!

Scott Gibbons

I just wanted to say that I think the company logo for Rogue Heroes is pretty awesome - some serious coolness there.

Scott Gibbons

Hi The hat is low to ensure proper molding, we had the hat higher but it caused a gap that would have led to production issues. Carmen Thanks for the reply! I know that the hat is part of one of the iconic pictures of the Grackle Tooth, but there are also great pictures without it. If you don't min...

Scott Gibbons

That Glitter Boy is sweet!

Not so sure about the Grackle Tooth though... The cowboy hat sits so low that it is covering up the facial expression of the character.

Scott Gibbons

I too can't wait to play this game! I was part of the KS for the Savage Rifts conversion, and that went/is going very well. Hope that Carmen's has a similar success! He is an awesome guy (met him a couple times at Open Houses). And of course I hope this is one of many board game conversions for PB p...

I've found that gut-reaction is just as important as the critical eye. I appreciate you taking the time, and hope you like it!
