Promo Posters For Sale Idea & NPC Book?

Unread post by Fell »

Rifts PDF Posters?
Palladium is looking for a way to make $ right? What company isn't.

Large dpi scale "print your own posters" of Book Covers.

Example #1

Includes the following covers:
Rifts Main Book
Rifts Sourcebook One
Rifts Sourcebook Two
Rifts Vampire Kingdoms
Rifts Vampire Sourcebook

Five printable posters for $6.99
Could sell at DriveThrouRPG.

Print as posters up to 17x22 or use as desktop screen backgrounds.


I have eight of the old 2000 promo posters framed and on my wall over my desk. (Heh I might be a fan).

Might be cool to have more :)

Just an idea.

I hope to see more books released as PDF's too.
Really wish an artist could do another Comic like R. Perez did.
I saw in most recent Weekly Update a Rifts Novella is coming as a PDF, hope to hear more about that soon.
Rifts comics interest me too. Print or PDF.



Or, an Official Book of NPC's maybe with art for each character?
On that note: Palladium Books could have a kind of contest where fans design and make the NPC's and submit them. Palladium picks say 40 to 60 of them and draws character sketches for the NPC's then prints them in a Rifter size book. "Oh cool the NPC on page 24 is mine! Cool art man!" Some could be made by Staff too. Could be just Rifts or add in NPC's for other systems too.



What do you think?

It sounds great and all but if PB wants to make more money all they have to do is put on sale all the robotech models that are sitting around collecting dust. Yes you can request for RRT in the grab bags but that's not a guarantee you'll get it. Instead of the uncertainty of grab bags Kevin should just slash prices across the board. Anyway that's my two cents on PB attracting more revenue.

What do you think?


There are some high-quality prints of two of my Rifts maps and two of my Palladium Fantasy maps available upon request for this year's Christmas packages. Most of the prints I donated were 8.5 x 11 inches on photo paper, while a few were 10.5x14 inches on card stock. All of them turned out really well. You could just download the maps I have on my art page (linked below) and print them. I didn't optimized the versions on my art page for printing, though, and most printers on standard paper won't catch the textures and details well.

I have been trying to develop a Rifts comic with my friend for the last 2 years. Whether it ever sees the light of day...who knows.

By the way. Thank you for making the posters. I've printed out several for my games.

They're awesome.

That Atlantis print is MASSIVE! I haven't seen it printed on anything over 11x17 inches. I never intended it for anything half that size; I was going for 300 dpi (dots per inch) for something the size of one of Palladium's book covers. I'm guessing it's at 100 dpi or so, and you've got me curious. How's it look in person? How'd you get it printed?
