Ummmm
Hmmm
Um can I say "All of it?"
Acutally that's not true. I have not used Robotech Book 8 Strike Force that I can recall nor have I used my copy of "The Arms of Nagash Tor" nor any Recon books.

From Palladium I have used:
Every Rifts book in print
Every TMNT book since the 1st edition
Every PF book (both editions)
Every Chaos Earth book
Every OTHER Robotech 1st edition book (yes including Lancers Rockers)
Every HU and HU2 book (including Justice Machine)
All three BTS books
All the Nightbane books
Splicers
Systems Failure
N&SS (both original and revised)
Mechnoids game books (the mini trades and the collected works book)
The Compendium series
The Magic of Palladium
Path of the Storm
Every Rifter 1-74 (including 9.5 and Zero)

From Other publishers: Lots and Lots
(Games, novels, comics, web-comics, television shows, movies, anime, cosplay, music, billboards, commercials.... no source is safe from being assimilated and mined for ideas and material)

since 1990.... all of them and more



oh but not that one book....

I have used allot.
Not all books I have used where written for rifts or even by PB. example-I have used the dictionary of chivalry to flesh out cyber knights.

Every book is fair game. I use them all.

Books used as a player or GM.

RMB/RUE
Japan
Triax
New West
Mercenaries (IIRC)
Sourcebook 1 (though some of the material used is also reprinted in Atlantis)
Coalition War Machine
Robotech II: The Sentinels
Robotech Book 8: Strike Force (ready made facility maps for ease of use)

All of them.

Yes.
...some of them not even affilliated with P-Books at all.

Just about anything with two covers, and good ideas in-between.

But my campaign has been going since 1998 so only 18 years. People drop out or change characters and their characters become prominent NPCs or are killed off if they don't want me using them... which I summarily ignore if they're especially interesting. And new players come in and will occasionally get information like "I studied in the dojo of the Monkey of Nine Tails", "The prophecy states that the Empress of the Black Throne shall rule with a velvet covered iron fist" or "Do NOT go near that deck of cards!" and have it mean absolutely nothing to them.

I'll list muh Favorites.
Rue (it grew on me slowly)
Pantheons.
Warlords of Russia.

I don't like RUE cuz it was the death of variable burst weapons. And with "burst" now listed as a single attack, the birth of "if a weapon can do 100SDC in a single attack it causes MD, even though in previous version there was text about some sort of autofire weapon being no bueno vs. MDC because each round still only did SDC. Which saw rise to my house rule, "If a single shot can't do MDC neither can a million."

I did like the new dragons though.

I house rule certain things that made more sense back then.

I've only recently, this year actually updated to RUE....mainly because my Racoon ate my RMB and the hobby store only had the RUE, guy was sad to see it go he was using it to level a play table.....

Well at least you found it in a game shop. Over hear in King County, WA (county Seattle is in) most have never heard of it and a few have hear of Palladium.

I've recently moved to Mass and no store sells palladium nor any willing to order or discuss palladium. I like the system they just need to get the products to the suppliers. Can't buy a dream...

It's been a while since I got to play, but I can safely say that probably every book up to and including Triax II had an appearance in a game of mine sometime in the last 25 years.

Sing it; there is now exactly ONE..count it ONE store in all of Toronto which carries Pbooks products. The largest gaming store, 401 games? They've actually dropped 90% of their RPG line for more boardgames because;
1) Fantasy Flight got rear-end-reamed by GW on 'Dark Heresy' so...no more WH40k RPG and good bye customer base.
2) Pathfindepathfinderpathfinderpathfinder -YAAAWN- is all these mellenial squeebs wanna look at.
3) CCG's and boardgames are expensive but easy for braindead ADD riddled twitter-users to learn and play...and spend great heaping gobs on ($100 for a smeggin' board game? $300 for a card?!); thus PROFFIT!
4) Palladium as has been mentioned... REALLY hasn't done much to get rid of its own stigma among the gaming community. The refusal to allow on-line or ownable OFFCIAL apps to assist both players & GM's has been a major contributing factor among the generations born after 2k.

If they have an open game night try running a in store campaign. People seeing the game played helps sell it.
PB while once a industry giant is now treated more like a indie game.

Odd that they will pass up sale if you willing to buy.
The main wholesaler supplier for role playing a games carries PB product, it is a lack of interest at the store not a lack of PB getting it to suppliers.
The fact they will not discuss it shows it is a in store bias.
