Greg Diaczyk setup a Q&A thread under the Rifts Sub-forum. You might have better luck with getting an answer to your question there. Here is the direct link to the topic.

I'll be there all 4 days this year. First time attending since 2008. I'm going to be running games for the new Stargate RPG.

Check out the Savage Rifts Facebook group. I haven't been on there in a while, but there used to be several on there that were having fun doing conversions. There used to be a big Google+ group, but I believe they may have moved over to MeWe, once Google+ shutdown.

Fellow Canadian here with an idea for you. If you live close to the border then it might be viable for you to use an American parcel pickup service. Basically they give you a shipping address thats close to the border and you have stuff shipped there. You can then scoot across the border and go pic...

If they are going to do these they need to make sure the books are basically "complete" other than adding in people names who pay for that. The problem with NG1 is they jumped the gun no pun intended and started the campaign too early. Yep. Exactly why I bought into the Rifts Lemuria Mega...

As far as I know there wasn't a POH in 2010 Greetings and Salutations. This had me second guessing myself, but I double checked. Instead of going through things in my life at the time (which is why I recalled), I'll note the (then upcoming) POH2010 is mentioned in Rifter 49 ...

Pretty sure that Scott is no longer with the company, and hasn't been since April or May. EDIT: Ok, well not necessarily completely gone, he has stepped away for the time being. I wish him, and his family, well. NEWS: Scott Gibbons’ departure from Palladium Books Scott Gibbons has had to step away f...

Any ETA on the Rift subscription drive? I need to re up my subscription. Hadn't heard about that. Do you know how that will differ than renewing your subscription after you receive your 4th and last Rifter of your subscription?

Jodi Black did reply to that post, though, just to clarify that those are the working titles, and as such, are of course subject to change.

As announced at Chupacabracon IV yesterday, Savage Rifts® wave 2 is on its way! Arcana North America will cover the Magic Zone, Federation of Magic, Psyscape, and more.

First post, in the new sub-forum!

Moved to a new city last year, and I have finally gotten settled in. So I'm looking forward to getting a regular game of Savage Rifts up and going, pretty soon.

How about everyone else?

-Chris

palladiumjunkie

I love the idea, but I just don't know if I feel comfortable enough pledging to a Kickstarter for it. That may change once the Kickstarter is in full swing, but for now I'll just wait to see if it makes it into stores.

If it does hit the stores, though, I'll definitely be picking it up.

It actually would be really cool if Palladium went ahead and did these up on their own, and sold them alongside their paper minis. It would not take very long for Madman Mike to generate these himself. The tokenTool is open source, but Mike would be able to create a better background inside the toke...

Hey Chris. Thanks for the help. A good suggestions, but they look a little awkward on the digital tabletop. A top-down or 3/4 would be better. I realize that's stupidly specific, but what else are forums for! Really, anything that could PASS as a wolfen or danzi (and those are my biggest concerns c...

palladiumjunkie

Hi all, Anyone know of some usable tokens/icons of palladium characters and races for digital tabletops like roll20? I run all my games through there, but i can't find any player or npc tokens of wolfen, danzi, or other palladium races. Halp! The Paper Miniatures PDFs that they sell over on Driveth...

Has there been any consideration about making PB available on Hero Lab? This question comes up occasionally. Palladium was approached by the guys more than 8 years ago, and it didn't materialize because of Palladium's lawyers ( see here ). Then the last time that I saw Rob over on the Hero Lab foru...

What makes you think it was stolen? Lars is a comic book artist, and from what I've seen, the piece in question does appear to be in his style.

I think that it's probably just a matter of time for the NG stuff.

Yep. I logged on to post exactly this.

I don't see how that's hurting Palladium Rifts. I believe Rift is a purely fantasy setting. The notion of 'tears/portals in space leading to crazy stuff' is all over the place (or we'd better lay into all those Stargate series). Obviously they'd just name it Rifts: Adventures in Time and Space or w...

The ones that Palladium are selling in their store are physical. They had stated that they will make them available on drivethruRPG eventually, though.

I'm mostly interested in the PDFs, because I plan on playing Savage Rifts online via Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds, and it would be cool to get the cards already created. I could spend the time scanning a bunch of art from my Rifts library, and building the decks for myself. But, I'd rather give Pallad...

Is Savage Rifts out yet? It looks frikken amazing. Full color...sweet character sheets...modern system. Gonna buy it for sure.

Considering that most of us are going to buying this for use with the new Savage Rifts game, please do not do this. Well, please do not only do this. I do agree it would be cool to also have a tarot deck.

While we're at "getting new boards", what about the podcast boards that haven't had a post in two years? Or the ten year old "Help Save Palladium Books" forum that's been locked for two years? Or the board, with no posts in a year, to talk about a game for a platform discontinue...

It is true. And as a backer of both of those Insiders, I would yell, scream and be extremely upset with Palladium for publishing them through DriveThruRPG or any other site that delivers PDF's. With that said, they also did it for Lemuria. So there are a total of 3 books in the Palladium's store th...

3. Digital Editions: One of the things that has been throwing me for a loop is the digital edition of the main book. Explorer Edition vs. Deluxe Edition, what's the big difference.

Also, a big thank you to Sean, for being the one to finally get Kev to start publishing any PDFs back then! It still took a long time to get to current books, but it had to start somewhere.

Let us nip this speculation in the bud now shall we? Sean Patrick Fannon has been very open in his interviews on the fact that this PB/PEG deal has been in the works for over six years. Mind linking to one of the interviews that state this? Due to the campaign going on currently, Google searches ar...

Hopefully the SW Rifts will offer enough of a toolkit for SW players to do their own conversions from Palladium books, thus entice them to become PB customers.

It may have been the worst place to go for Palladium defenders 5-15 years ago, but that boat has sailed. The forums are now well moderated, and they crack down on that kind of stuff fairly quickly.
