Minion War Crossover

Hate Minion War was first mentioned in Palladium so they've got not
choice but to include it. Besides since part of the game is taking place
in HU, I'm sure they will have a MDC/SDC conversion as well.

I would be royally pissed if anything to do with the Minion War came out before, say, LoD 3, Phi and Lopan, or any of the other announced-but-not-out-yet books. Let's at least complete the LoD trilogy before worrying about spin-off's from it!

Kevin said Australia 2 and 3 will probably never be made. He parted ways
with the author of the first book because he wasn't happy about the manner in which certain things were presented in book 2. So axe them
two books. As for the others are they are in the limbo realm.

How did you come up with this comment? Its just a bit susspect because HU is an SDC setting just like PF.

Carl's Minion Wars and the projects you mentioned are totally separate from each other. It's about having the authors to dedicate to a project, and I don't know of anybody carrying the torch for LoD3 or Phi and Lopan.

Rest assured, Carl's books will be awesome. They certainly won't be spin-offs of the LoD books. They're an original creation.

Thanks Jason :ok:

I always try to include S.D.C. conversions when doing M.D.C. stats. I did receive guidance from Kevin in ways he wants things presented and I would be stupid not to follow his directions.

I also see Hades and Dyval being big for Palladium Fantasy, but they will be Rifts Dimension Books. I don't see a reason why PF gamers couldn't use them. BTW Two books have been completed, three to go! :shock:

I really hope any minion war is mainly tied to PF, as that seems to have the biggest connection to it. Sure rifts has some connection, but it's not a real focues (the closest thing is the Gargoyle Empire), and I hope it will be mainly S.D. I also hope either Siembieda or Coffin writes it (Coffin did a GREAT job on LoD).

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Just out of curiosity will this have an ending like Coalition Wars or is it
going to be something that will be continually ongoing? And if it does
end like Coalition Wars will ramifications effect the entire Megaverse?

My hope for the Minion War book is that it focuses on the PF side of things. Maybe bringing in the minion war that is mentioned in LoD:I.

More PFRPG books is Good

It would be great to have ill Coffin back writing for PB, but after he finished his original manusript for LoD:III he left PB.

Sorry guys, but Mr. Coffin is not back with Palladium to my knowledge. I am writing the entire series. I think you can count on Kevin Siembieda's input. I have consulted with him on several ideas. I have received some direction from Kevin, I've incorporated some of his ideas into Hades as well. Sorry I can't give more details on the series.

Yes the Minion Wars was inspired from the LOD. At this point I don't see a need to expand on that portion further. I know some folks will like the series and others will probably not like it. In the end I can only do my best and be happy with what I've written.

BTW Thanks Shawn :ok:

How about writing some other Palladium Fantasy books as well.

Specifically, what is the Minion War Crossover about anyway? I know it has something to do with Hades and Dyval. Could someone please give me some more information about it? Thanks.

I know what I want to See for the minon war crossover....

to have it titled PFRPG & Rifts blah blah blah....the importent thing is that the PFRPG comes befor the Rifts.

This is after thinking a while, relizing that there is now way its not going to be a PF book, at least get PFRPG in the title so it will advertise the PFRPG setting to all those poor Rifts players who need their eyes opened to the fantasy rolle playing genra setting of the PB rpg familly.

To be fair, my manuscript was submitted 8 months behind the deadline, and I've got some fairly contreversial ideas in there... what I've suggested for Summoners, IMO, revolutionizes the O.C.C. but also gives them a HUGE amount of flexibility, and my suggestions for alternate P.P.E. sources are somewhat out there.

Am I impatient for the book to be out? Yes. (You should read the panic-stricken e-mail I sent to Wayne the first month that Mysteries of Magic wasn't on the "Coming Soon" list). But I was the one who submitted it way late, without much warning to them... and at a time when they've had a bunch of stuff coming out.

I would much rather see them release the books they said they're making before seeing this released.

When was that?

I would rather see the Land of the Damned book 3 covering the minator nations before anything else coming out.

2002, just before my then-girlfriend (now wife of two years) moved out here.

Wow. I've been away for a few weeks now, and what do I find when I log in? A message to me, pointing out this thread! And how do I respond to my buddy who's across the room from me?

"Wow. It looks like I was right AGAIN! PB is kissing off PF in favor of RIFTs!!"

And before ANYONE says that they ARENT kissing off PF, let me point THIS out-

The Minion War was mentioned WHERE?? PF. LoD. And, out of ALL of the books slotted for it (5, I believe), how many are PF? Hrmm... 4 RIFTs (*PTOOEY*) titles, and an HU title. WOW. ZERO of the Minion War (started in PF) books are for PF. What a SHOCK!! Well, then again, it's NOT a shock. Heck, if there WAS a PF book, I'd probably have a heart attack.
