Store Forum

Unread post by Tor »

Could we please have a subforum here for discussing the Store at https://palladium-store.com which is linked to from the main site? There doesn't seem to be an appropriate place to discuss stuff pertaining to it.

For example, one glaring issue with https://palladium-store.com/1001/catego ... Books.html is firstly, the omission of dimension book 9 without explanation. While those who've looked into it know about the mysterious indefinite UWW delay, a casual browser will not.

I really think a 'Dimension Book 9' page should be made and put where Hades shows up now, you can leave it mostly blank, but please just put it there as a placeholder to make things pretty and with a note like "Coming soon" or "Coming not so soon".

The numbers are only present in the links up to 12, too. Even though it clearly says "Dimension Book 13" and "Dimension Book 14" on the covers of Thundercloud/Fleets, it doesn't appear in the top title bar or the link, and it should.

Actually I'm wrong... the numbers are given for 1-4 (including 2 and 3 which are Phase World related) but absent for 5 and 6 and 7 like they are for 13 and 14. Why is this?

As for https://palladium-store.com/1001/produc ... f-the.html while no number appears on the cover, I think you should just give it a number in the Store, and tack on a number by modifying the cover in any future reprints. 15 will do.

I don't even get why it's called a "Rifts/Phase World" sourcebook. This applies equally books 3/5/6/7/8/12/13/14. Their Store titles use a colon instead of a Slash though. Rifts is clearly a setting that encapsulates more than Rifts Earth, so a slash isn't needed, Phase World is part of Rifts, since it began as a dimension book 4 it, just as Wormwood is.

"All Things Palladium" suffices for discussing issues with the store.

As for "HEROES OF THE MEGAVERSE" - it is usable in both Rifts and Phaseworld so therefor, that is probably why it is listed by Palladium Books as Rifts/Phaseworld Sourcebook

Yeah but so are the other ones, the Rifts/Phaseworld instead of Rifts: Phase World is just odd, like it's trying to paint Phase World as something outside Rifts.

That is because to an extent it can be. With the exception of the Rifts Corebook, you dont "need" any other books to play in the Phaseworld Setting. Notice I said "need".

Nor do you "need" Phaseworld or its sourcebooks to play "Rifts".

I agree, the store does need a forum. From questions about Rifter subscriptions to different printings of books there is a lot of info that could be passed along.

Heroes of the Megaverse is listed as a phaseworld sourcebook as well as a Rifts sourcebook (in my opinion) because it has space travel in it, cosmic level powers, and characters that operate on a cosmic level. While "Rifts" typically refers to titles linked to Earth or a single Dimension. This is just speculation on my behalf, but I'd put $1.00 on it that I am right. ;) :P
