Geeze, Gaby. Try reading the press release page once in a while.
That means 20 villains or NPCs ready to be dropped into one of your RPG campaigns.
1 – ALL Palladium settings (ideal for The Palladium Fantasy RPG® and Rifts®). La Mort Venus is a Greater Demon inspired by the cover art by David Martin and written by Kevin Siembieda.
1 – Beyond the Supernatural™, 2nd Edition (easily adapted to Nightbane®, HU2 and Palladium Fantasy®).
5 – Heroes Unlimited™ (easily adapted to Nightbane® and Rifts®).
1 – The Mechanoids® (suitable for Rifts® and Phase World®).
3 – Nightbane® (easily adapted to BTS-2™ and HU2™).
1 - Palladium Fantasy RPG®
7 – Rifts® (adaptable to Phase World®).
1 – Wormwood™ (suitable for Rifts® and Phase World®).
The Wormwood chick is mine. For names, you'll have to buy the issue.

I think the issue would have all that info.

Mine is named Omnibust Prima (for HU2), a mechanical tranforming Jetta with a large "chassy" spraying herself down with WD40.

Ah well... if Jason told you about his...
The Wormwood chick is
Lucretia Anteri, a Worldgate dimensional raider trained in the arts of all things sexy!!!

So, I guess I'll get in on the teaser action.
Aquaria (art by Mike Mumah) is a Nightbane Mystic with a penchant for Ocean Magic.

I guess I should have made my fake answer more extreme, since people seem to think I was telling the truth.

I was hoping for something sexy...alas My assignment left much to be desired. The art was fantastic, but its just not my type of woman. You'll see what I mean.

Maybe so, Jason. But this one would have been funny as all hell to see...

I'm probably biased, but I think that picture Apollo did for it is the best in the book. Absolutely Gorgeous.
You're not biased. Apollo hit a Grand Slam with that piece.
No contest: It's the best.

I'm interested in seeing what the writers came up with. We, or at least I, did this entirely in reverse by drawing the artwork and letting the writers figure it out from that.

That's how all the characters were done.
Excluding La Llorona: the writing came first on that. I submitted "her" around Easter.
Mumah's art for it rocks (which is awesome considering the circumstances).

To clarify what the circumstances were: essentially a 24 hour deadline on the piecce.

I was wondering if that is what you guys did, have the artists give
you pictures and you created a character background around it. Nice work
all around guys. I'm sure the actual art work looks even better then it
does in the book. Wonderful background stuff, love it all. Hard to pick a
favorite

You're right, it does lose a bit of detail in the printing process. I don't know about everyone else, but I have my work up on my website, which you can link to from my banner.

Sweet. Got mine today, and it looks good!
For fans out there that want to get an idea, this is probably very similar to how I'll do my PDFs when I get to that. They'll be combined, sorts of things with NPCs, races, adventures, maps, etc. all kind of rolled into one compact unit; a larger than this, obviously, but the same kind of principle.
I imagine we'll all do our PDFs differently. It should be interesting to see how we all approach the little micro-sourcebook PDF medium.
Great job, guys!

To the writers who did the profiles for Rifter #39: awesome job! I got mine in the mail from Palladium two days ago. The artwork is wonderful and I love the profiles! Definitely hard to choose a favorite.

Thanks, man.
Since it will be a while until mine gets here, anyone care to give a quick review?

Once again I find myself gypped out of getting Brig. General Loni Kashbrook included. *sigh*
