Is there a list of BtS1 supplements that never were?

Unread post by thorr-kan »

I know several got advertised and I realize they're long gone, but I'm interested from a historical standpoint.

There was Agents something. I think there was a UFO book mentioned at some point.

ETA:
Nostrodom, The Collected Magic of Palladium Books, p76.
Agents of Nostrodom, The Collected Magic of Palladium Books, p84.

There's no list that I know of, but we can compile one here if you can recall where you spotted those ads.

There was one called Darklings, which was to involve the dragon NPC from one of the adventures in AitNW for the PFRPG setting.. It was supposed to be released in 1990.

I also recall one called "Nostrodom" that was being advertised in the Magic of Palladium Books magazines back in the day.

1. Found references to Nostrodom and updated the original post.

2. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=61045&hilit=darklings mentions a topic in "All Things Palladium Books" forum that lists these titles. I haven't found that topic yet.

3. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=104867&hilit=darklings mentions an FAQ that references UFO Conspiracy...I knew I wasn't hallucinating! Quoted for reference: "Q. What happened to the new BTS books we've been hearing about for so long? Darkings, Nostromo: Agents of Darkness, The Lazlo Agency and the UFT Conspiracy?

A. The Lazlo Agency and the UFO Conspiracy are being worked on at the moment. Alex Marciniszyn is working on the UFO book and will hopefully have it done soon. Darklings and Nostromo were both products proposed by a former employee, we still don't know what we want to do with these two."

I haven't found that FAQ yet. Nothing's ever lost on the Internet:
http://community.fortunecity.ws/rivende ... al-faq.htm

"BTS: Darklings, BTS: Nostromo: Agents of Darkness (Cancelled)
Reason: Author left Palladium
BTS: The Lazlo Agency (In Limbo)
Reason: Low Priority, but still being worked on in-house
(may be bumped up if the Second Edition of BTS gets done)
BTS: The UFO Conspiracy (On Hold)
Reason: UFO Conspiracy is by Alex Marciniszyn, another non-author staffer. On hold till he finishes writing it in his spare time."

ETA: Spelling. Always spelling.

Have you got a reference for that, like an ad or a catalog? I'd love to see what it described.

It is noted in an old FAQ, so while it's vaporware, it was planned at one time...

Well that's no good for seeing what the ad copy looked like, is it? :)

Thanks!

I saw "The UFO Conspiracy" at the start of Aliens Unlimited (dec 1994) saying it was due in 1995.

Is it pretty much abandoned as a 2nd ed project?

I figured it might relate to the UFO creatures with psychic powers.

I think it could give interesting ideas for Guardians in Nightbane if they wnatd to make it a cross-genre supplement.

Also if these aliens were in the Rifts Earth mountains of North America it could explain some problems vampires have getting north
