PDF Minion Wars

Unread post by Fell »

So after reading this .....

"Hades, Pits of Hell, a sourcebook for Rifts® and The Palladium Fantasy RPG®, describes and maps the dimension of Hades and its demonic hierarchy, minions, weapons and foul magic. Now your players can actually go to Hell and back! (If they’re lucky.) This “Crossover” Dimension Book also sets the stage for the Minion War™ – a battle between two rival Hell dimensions that spills across the Megaverse®. Dyval™, Hell Unleashed follows over the weekend with all six books currently in the Minion War™ crossover series coming to DriveThruRPG; one made available every couple of days. Spread the word."

I am very glad to see this Palladium.

I have enjoyed the Minion War material and hope to get Megaverse In Flames in PDF!!

My favorite two things from Rifts were the Tolkeen Wars and now the Minion Wars. I like the story stuff that comes along with it.

These story related books keep the system exciting for me.

Anyway. Glad more stuff is coming out as PDF.

NOW I have a reason to own a iPad lol.

Ah, ok. I wasn't counting HotM as a Minion War book.

Wasn't one of the Palladium Fantasy books part of the Minion War too? The book that has the "Great Rift" in it?

Land of the Damned One Chaos Lands?
Seems like it is but nope, none of the PF say Minion War.

Need PB to put out a new PF book with spillover from Rifts Earth onto PF world, CS SAMAS and Glitterboys fighting DEMONS on PF ;)

Almost, kinda, sort of, but not quite. The section in Land of the Damned 1 is more pre-war as far as the timeline goes. Plus it's more oriented toward that region in Palladium than it is about the Minion War.

Agreed. Feels like PF needs a Minion War book too.

Of course I guess that means someone could also do a Rifter article about it....

The minion war is in PF. Bill Coffin actually coined the phrase Minion War in the land of the damned books. My inspiration too...

So...what are the odds you get to write Land of the Damned 2 & 3? :D

Well we got lod2. I did ask Kevin and he wanted to write LOD3. That was a few years ago. When I finish my current PF project I'll see where he stands on it, but no promises :-D

I asked a similiar question in a Different thread, & got this terrific answer:

Subject: Minion War Questions

Greetings and Salutations. Technically no Palladium Fantasy book is officially part of the Minion War series. With that said, yes, the origins for it are supposed to be from Land of the Damned (1 or 2, I can't remember which, sorry). As for the others ...

1: Hades (August 2007)
2: Dyval (March 2009)
3: Dimensional Outbreak (March 2010)
4: Heroes of the Megaverse (September 2010)
5: Armageddon Unlimited (February 2011)
6: Megaverse in Flames (Uh ... I haven't ordered my soft cover yet to check, but the "final" one*).

*Note: To my understanding, Megaverse in Flames doesn't actually end it, but is supposed to be continued in another Rifts book: Heroes of Humanity (or something like that) which is kind of an aftermath story (I think?).

I haven't really followed the Minion War story, but I do have most of the books (I just haven't bought any books for a couple of years due to finances, which is about to change). Also, I think the Minion War was supposed to be only five books (officially), with Heroes of the Megaverse more as a "Crossover" that ties into it, but not a direct part of it either (not 100% positive, but it does mention Minion Wars on the cover). All of those were First Printings, so that dates should be accurate for their order. Hope that helps. Farewell and safe journeys for now.

Cool. Gotcha.

I saw the Minion War stuff in the LOD book, just would be really nice to see MORE Minion War stuff in LOD 3, here's to hoping you are able to write it :) !!

LotD 3 is where the Minion War should end. Bring it around full circle.
