What do you want the Palladium Fantasy rpg,s book to be?

I hoping for Mysteries of Magic 2:Dark Magick.

Old Kingdom books, I bet those would be awesome after such an long time being made already....

MoM 2 would be cool, as would Old Kingdom.
I'm still hoping for a proper Wolfen Empire book.
Elf/Dwarf War and Time of a Thousand Magiks would be cool too.

I will be paying close attention to whatever fans have to say on this topic.

After the two already announced…This (the above).

Included in this practical SDC conversion text for atlantian magic tattoos

Garden of the Gods, Mysteries of Magic 2, Lopan, Land of the South Winds.

Well, it has been and will be until it's printed, The Old Kingdoms.

"RIP Randi Cartier"

Time of a Thousand Magicks, with more magic types, not just spells.

Old Kingdom books please. Land of the Damned 3.

Any of the many books promised but yet to be delivered.

Lopan and Phi!! Gardens of the Gods after that...

Errata book, Old Kingdom, Mom2, Lopan, LotD3, GotG

I'd like to see a book about a new and unknown land/nations across the sea, hell I should make up something myself.

But that's what I'd like to see.

Printed.

I'd like the next PFRPG book to be an atlas, whether or not I'm the map artist for it. However, since that would be a bit of a risky/un-tested type of product for them, then I'd go with a book on the Great Inland Sea, covering Phi, Lopan, and the seas and shores around them. It's a great central area for tying together the great powers and regions of the world.

Alternately, I'd like to see another campaign book a la Island at the Edge of the World. In fact, a revised version of that book would be cool.

Finally, I'd like to see Palladium finish out its book series on the Land of the Damned and magic.

This topic might work better as a poll.

I would pay very good money for an E-book of an Atlas of the Palladium World from you.
While a print one would be neat...
An E-book on Drivethru would both not need to go through the logistical log-jam of the paper printing and allow your work to really shine. It would allow for some great features like being able to zoom in, or the idea of having overlays or *wanders off drooling*

Phi & Lopan
Land of the South Winds
LotD 3 (for interest and to conclude the trilogy)
Adventure campaign books! (these got me into PFRPG above all others so it is necessary for new players IMHO. Especially when the most successful RPG does the majority of their books like this for a reason)

Overlayss are tricky to do with PDFs, but not impossible (the Savage Worlds Rifts PDF map does this, though only with a couple of options). It would be a nice feature to allow GMs and players to have a bunch of customization options for turning features and overlays on and off. I might give this a try.

Other Than MoM,s book 2,I also like to see Land of the Southwinds and Phi & Lopan.

Maybe they can do Adventure SourceBook like the One they did for Rifts?

LotD 3 could also be used to help tie the PF end of the multiverse into the minion war. That would be really nice to see.

I believe that's already in Land of the Damned 1, in the Great Rift and Blasted Lands section.

No advancements/developments on one side or the other? Just the same two armies killing each other on the same field of battle, endlessly? No expansion of the war outside of the same battlefield over the years since the war has been escalating in other dimensions? No way for the two sides to amp up the war since it first came to PF? Kind of disappointing.

The use of the Great Rift is also covered in Dimension book 10 and 11. IIRC, it basically is the same as before, just with more troops fighting than in the past.

Yeah, that is called insanity.

Or, it is called both sides know that it is the best known and one of the quickest routes into the opposing realms and so both sides make sure to counter any moves made by their opponents quickly. I'm not sure why you find it disappointing that both sides are aware of a location where they have been fighting for thousands of years and since the initial push by the demons have reacted accordingly. If a breakthrough for one side or another is going to happen in Palladium Fantasy, it would be somewhere else on the planet.

That is my whole point. Yet all we have are a few infernal armies fighting over the same small(ish) patch of ground that have gone nowhere for thousands of years.

Yes, it is all part of how the gods cursed that land. No matter how their armies build up or what tactics they employ, they can never gain any traction over the other.

Old Kingdoms of course. With dwarf strongholds.
Second Eastern og Western book. A lot of more information could be added.
Adventure books.

My apologies, I misunderstood your complaint. I'd also be interested in a minion war book for fantasy that actually took things in a new direction and perhaps even showed us some new areas of the world.

No worries.

Yeah, a book that updated the war, that actually brought the war to PF, instead of just maintaining a stalemate, would be great to have.



Cr'Imson

I agree with Mysteries of Magic 2 and I agree with Hotrod a new or updated Island at the Edge of the World.

The original bit was basically a "Blood War lite" expy thing.
It was an endless war between demons and devils that could never be won, but neither side was willing to give up on, and thus just kept on frittering away their strength forever.
To make it work the author basically invoked a cosmic curse on both races and stuff.

It was a plot point, a way to make the place seem cosmically dangerous, and at the same time not endanger the universe.
Then it got picked up and turned into an actual plot thread for the rest of the game systems and now we have the broader Minion War.
Which is I suspect partially because the writers of the game seem to love rehashing over, and over the trope of a "massive land battle between vast armies"...
...and since they can't do WWII... they will just expy it over and over again instead.
