Things are hopping at Palladium

[Kevin]

Yow, things feel like they are really hoppin’ and poppin’ at Palladium Books.

We are frantically working to get four books finished by the end of July (and available at Gen Con); Rifts® Megaverse® in Flames, The Rifter® #67, Graveyard Earth™ and our surprise title (to be revealed soon). In between all of that (yikes!) there is coordinating with artists and printers, getting all kinds of things (and people!) together for Gen Con, reorganizing the warehouse, exploring new opportunities, plus the day to day business, and everything else. And there is a lot of everything else. Whew. Every day for the past several weeks has felt like a whirlwind.

Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Wave One is coming together fast now. I don’t think people realize how many components and moving parts there are to make Robotech® RPG Tactics™. Even the manufacturing broke and the factories keep telling us how much there is to be addressed. So many things to be printed, trimmed, molded, pressed, gathered, collated, packaged and boxed for shipping. There are something like four different factories (including the printer) involved in the manufacturing (rule book, cards, dice, the game pieces, instruction sheets, packaging, etc.) and tons of details and logistics to deal with, especially for the manufacturers in China. Yeow! Things change every day and bounce from good news to bad news, to good again. We feel like a yo-yo some days. But man oh man, are we excited to finally have Wave One material getting finished. Super-excited.

China even sent us a short video showing some of the manufacturing process. That’s not as exciting as it may sound, but it was certainly fun for us to see. I'll have more to talk about on this front later in the Weekly Update. Will be posting more Murmurs on a regular basis.

Sincerely,
