Palladium!

Post by Jester of the FoS »

Okay, this should be in the Role-playing Forum but I believe this deserves main-forum attention.

Palladium is in serious financial woes. As can be read about here:

It goes like this: Palladium is a semi-independent role-playing game publisher that has been in the market since the early '80s. They've had some popular and successful books and helped introduce many, many nerds into the world of RPGs. Almost every gamer I know "played some Rifts" in High School. They've been readily open to fan publications and even have a periodical magazine that pays for submissions from anyone.

Recently, they got screwed over. They lost A LOT of money and are close to going out of business. Given they are one of the oldest remaining RPG publishers this would be a pretty negative blow to an already struggling industry.

They're asking for support from the fans:

So I'm posting the links and letting people know...

Sorry to hear that, I hope they will recover :(
