Hey Braden, can we take it then that all your Blood sweat 'n tears have finally paid off?

If so - congrats! :ok:

(see Latest Press Release)

Braden Campbell · Fri Nov 03, 2006 10:36 am

Uh... I guess.

Maybe someone from Palladium will get back to me now...

I think your title was better, Fleets of the three galaxies.

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 8:52 pm

I saw it. I'm not sure who is putting it together. But that is probably a working title! I'm sure they've been watching the stuff we've been posting closely. I'd still continue working on yours Braden. And I'd submit it too! You never know, but the first one might be rejected depending on who is doing it.

Braden Campbell · Fri Nov 03, 2006 9:56 pm

uh... dude, I submitted my manuscript back in August. That thing they are talking about is mine...

or at least, it will be in one form or another.

What we're all talking about now is a second project.

Oh ok! Cool! Congrats!

There are three.

Braden Campbell · Mon Dec 04, 2006 10:04 pm

Artwork will be assigned by Kevin. I just hope it's all very cool-looking.

And no, I had nothing to do with the D-bee book. I'm currently working on Thundercloud Galaxy as well as a few little writing things for Palladium.

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 11:16 pm

Sounds good to me!

Braden Campbell · Tue Dec 05, 2006 2:39 am

the very same.

That is pretty cool that KS is working on art for your book! That would be quite and honor to have his material in your book! :ok:

Braden Campbell · Thu Dec 07, 2006 1:04 pm

No, no guys. He will assign the art....

The actual artists will be guys like Apollo, Mark Dudley, and soforth.

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 10:55 pm

There haven't really been anything new for them for quite awhile. It'll be nice to see the three things Braden is working on!

Fleets of the Three Galaxies is a cooler title.

What is the book going to have beyond stats / descriptions for the various spacecraft?

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 8:02 pm

We'll know it as the Title Braden gave it!

Braden Campbell · Fri Dec 08, 2006 8:46 pm

The actual, full title would be:

Rifts Dimension Book X: Phase World Sourcebook 2: Fleets of the Three Galaxies

So, its a good bet it will get trimmed down somewhat.

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 10:38 pm

We'll still remember that title, even if it does get trimmed down a little!

Not really much difference in length, now is it? Is it that big of a deal?? Fleets... is a much more dynamic title.

Xar · Unread post by **Xar** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 9:13 am

Of course, putting my marketing degree hat on...

The brand is Rifts: Phase World, not Rifts: The Three Galaxies. Even though it would have been better that way.

Xar · Unread post by **Xar** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 1:17 pm

Per the press release and this thread's title, it's "Spacecraft". But, whatever...I agree with you on what it should be called.

That's not a moon...

The one the TIE fighters came from in Star Wars...maybe.

Cause you could do a whole book on the Death Star, if it wouldn't be a major copywright violation.

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 11:47 pm

Someone did a whole book on the "Deathstar". I know I've got a copy of it!

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 10:26 pm

It's not too bad of a sourcebook. Not as big as you would think it would be.

Josh Sinsapaugh · Tue Dec 12, 2006 11:37 pm

I have a feeling that "spacecraft" (or "spacecrafts") is merely the working press title until they decide on the final name (be it Braden's or otherwise).

Kind of like how "Rifts: D-Bees of North America" was originally mentioned as "Rifts: D-Bees Book" in the press releases.

All merely speculation though.

I think what you are saying Josh makes sense.

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 10:48 pm

I would also like to see the word "Fleets" in the title.

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 10:17 pm

Yes, it does sound more prominent!

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 10:34 pm

Yeah, and word of mouth doesn't hurt those sales either!

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 3:49 am

But that is the truest thing of any publications. But for myself I support it!
