ONE GAME SYSTEM – EVERY GENRE – COUNTLESS WORLDS – ENDLESS ADVENTURE

Sale Final Hours – Palladium Books® – January 15, 2025

FINAL Hours – Palladium Surprise Package – Biggest Savings – Ends tonight after midnight – January 15, 2025 – Will NOT BE EXTENDED – See you next Christmas

This is your last chance at epic fun and big savings with a Surprise Package for yourself or as a gift for someone’s upcoming birthday, anniversary, or Valentines Day.

It’s a great opportunity to get RPG books at a steep discount that averages out to between 40-52% off. Plus we happily sign your books if you’d like us to do so and it’s a fun surprise because you don’t know exactly what you are going to get! This is a great way to try new world settings, fill holes in your collection, get ideas for new campaigns, replace worn out copies of favorite books, treat yourself, and buy gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and any upcoming gift-giving occasion. This sale will NOT be extended again. Miss out and you’ll have to wait till next Christmas season. Surprise Package Sale ENDS after midnight, Wednesday, January 15th.

Besides being the best deal in gaming – $100+ worth of goodies (often more) for $60 (plus shipping) – it’s a smile and a hug that comes in a box filled with signed game books from available Palladium staff and freelancers at PDF prices. That can nab you four or more items when these days one core rule book can cost you that alone.

Surprise Packages are a great way to build your collection, try new settings, and replace battered, old favorite titles as well as make the perfect gamer gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, or any gift-giving occasion. And remember, if you request autographs from available staff we happily sign each book!

These Surprise Packages are our way of saying thank you for your support and showing you our love and appreciation. It’s a surprise because you never know exactly what you’re going to get or who will sign your books, because we pick from your Wish List and may surprise you with stuff you are not expecting. Extra items may include other RPGs, sourcebooks, issues of the Rifter®, novels, miniatures, prints, art books, greeting cards, T-shirts, negatives, and other items. Some books may be slightly damaged (scuffs, scratches, dings, a crunched corner, etc.) so we can send you more. We can only extend the holiday season for so long. Get one while you still can – the Surprise Package offer ENDS January 15, 2025.

Christmas Surprise Packages

Surprise Package Comments from fans like you

Every year we like to post a selection of the comments we get from Surprise Package customers. It’s a nice acknowledgement and thank you to them (you know who you are) and you enjoy reading them. I read each and every comment that comes in the Surprise Packages, and they always brighten our day. We all appreciate your kind words, suggestions, and insights. In fact, the idea to do hardcover editions of core rule books came from fan comments in the Grab Bags. We get a lot so we can only offer a sampling of these comments in the Weekly Updates.

Our heartfelt thanks to all of you who have stuck with Palladium through thick and thin and now these new strange times. Please use our games to find escape from your day to day grind and worries. Use them to bring a little joy, laughter, and adventure to the holiday season and beyond.

Your comments and support mean the world to all of us. Thank you for making us smile and feel valued. As always, I have tried to write a short response [in brackets] to each comment. Happy holidays.
