I am starting a new thread asking for a Palladium Fantasy book every day until it happens. So in the spirit of the "post a day" thread in the Open House forum:
Everyone please post below everyday saying you want more Palladium Fantasy until Palladium publishes a new Fantasy book !!!

Good luck on your endeavor here. I think that Fantasy deserves more attention, but I do love me some Rifts as well as Robotech. Still it is unfortunate that the other lines don't see more love.

4 years, and 11 days, since Mysteries of Magic: Book 1 was released. Hopefully it is sooner, rather than later, that we get the next Palladium Fantasy release.

I agree. I'd love to see more PF books but I really don't think spamming the boards is the way to go - they have rules against that sort of thing for a reason.

I hate to rain on anyone parade. Yet a PFRP book this year imo seems highly unlikely. They have a backlog of books to work first. Next year or the year after as long as they get one or more sourcebooks out.
If it's stupid and it works. It's not stupid
Palladium can't be given a free pass for criticism because people have a lot of emotion invested in it.

There is a precedent for this kind of thread, and it has been going strong for nearly 10 months without being closed. I think we'll be ok.

Comment: The greatest part of the writer's time is spent in reading, in order to write: a man will turn over half a library to make one book. - Samuel Johnson, 1775
I heard this rumor. The reason why Yin Sloth Jungle 2nd edition is not out, there is still a pile of 1st edition books in the warehouse. To justify the expense of printing those books they need to sell them in order to justify printing any 2nd edition books. So you want a new Yin Sloth book get several friends to buy 5 or more 1st edition books so we can get an 2nd edition Undead Hunter in print. We also need to convince some of the freelancers who write all the Rifts books to fall in love with fantasy again. You wow Kevin with a fantasy book and maybe one will come down the pipe. They just wiped out a new Dead Reign book in time for Halloween because they got a great writer who can churn out a book that doesn't take several weeks or a few months to edit. And it will sell like crazy. The books is only 64 pages. That's quick and easy to edit and print. If there was a way to capture all those people who just left World of Warcraft this year and get them to play PFRPG we would see it and not Rifts paying the bills. We get writers wanting to "write" fantasy with the same passion as a Triax 2, Lemuria, etc. Then the writing has to be so good and so easy for Kevin to "Kevinize" that it becomes a snap for him and the gang to edit and send to the printer. Then "fans" need to get other people to buy it like mad!
P.S. If there are those who liked the "official source material for PFRPG of the Timiro Kingdom" in Rifter #63 then this freelancer will see what he can do to bring a fantasy book to print. Can't promise anything but I'll give it my best try.
That makes a lot of sense about the cases of product just sittin there. That is a bummer. Since they aren't likely to sell those they should really take a loss and move on. The line shouldn't suffer cause they overprinted something and then made it out dated. I'd like to see more love for Fantasy, but if people aren't writing it that says something as well. I know he has a couple manuscripts he could probably work through. As for the Dead Reign it is the same author as Northern Gun, so I don't think that the problem in Kevin's editing flow is the author. Sure a short book should go quick and because it is Dead Reign he won't care as much about the world flavor as much as he would Rifts of Fantasy. It will still take away from him working on other stuff like Northern Gun 2 and Megaverse in Flames. It does show love for another line, but it doesn't really satisfy the people that invested in Northern Gun 2, even though they may or may not have invested in the 1st. It sure doesn't satiate the people who want more fantasy and this is the 30th Anniversary.

Let's keep the post content relative to the thread itself. Otherwise it is just spam posting and will be deleted.

If you can get confirmation of Yin Sloth I will order 5 grabs bags with just that in!
Everyone ask for Yin sloth in ur grab bags! Its useful for other lines with jungles travel rules, traps, climate and natives including bone weapons...
Also - PFRPG book(s) pls!

If I found out this was actually true, I'd actually just quit Palladium entirely. That's a scumbag tactic, and should never be rewarded, even if it makes financial sense.
On topic, god speed palladiumjunkie, but try not to over invest or hold your breath, both are bad for your health.
Getting a mage to tell you where the hydra is...10,000 gold Hiring a summoner... 40,000 gold Hiring one hundred 10th level mercenaries... 98,567 gold Giving a hydra skull to your necromancer... priceless
The only fantasy book I have currently is the 1st edition main book. Once the Christmas grab bags start again, it is my intention to order two of them and ask for the the 2nd edition fantasy main book and as many fantasy books as they're willing to stuff in a box for me.
Oh, wait, if Mystery of Magic is a fantasy book, then I have two fantasy books. I got MoM quite by surprise in a grab bag two years ago.

I don't care about canon answers. I'm interested in good, well-reasoned answers and, perhaps, a short discussion of how that answer is supported or contradicted by canon.
If I don't provide a book and page number, then don't assume that I'm describing canon. I'll tell you if I'm describing canon.
I'm looking forward to seeing the next PF release. I still have my first edition revised book. How many others had to three hole punch it once it fell apart from extended use?

Mine is pretty beat up, but is still structurally sound.

To be fair I have a new PFRPG book (and half of another) and they are flaming awesome! But I did write them.
Also - PFRPG books pls! there is still 10 weeks of the 30th year!

How much undefined space is left in the Palladium Fantasy game world?

Land of the South Winds Yin Sloth 2nd edition Island at the Edge of the World 2nd edition Old Kingdom Part 1 and Part 2 Land of the Damned Part 3 Mysteries of Magic Beyond the Black Veil (what I would like to think would be beyond the EDGE OF THE WORLD and could conclude the game line)
It's just too bad Bill Coffin didn't work with Palladium for another 10 years.

If they were well written, I'd be all over this.
I find that in my old age I'm more interested in collections of short stories (like the Conan stories or the Lovecraft cycle) than I am in novels or series. Mostly it's a time thing...I just don't make as much time for reading as I did when I was younger.

PF is what got me into Role Playing. I feel there is so much that has been left out. I know that all RPGs need blank info for the Players and GMs to fill in, but we need more place to start.
