Titan Robotics KICKSTARTER Starts Now! – Palladium Books® – November 9, 2022
One game system – every genre – countless worlds – endless adventure
By Kevin Siembieda
Rifts® Titan Robotics™ Kickstarter – is running NOW!
We hope many of you will participate in the Titan Robotics Kickstarter and help to spread the word to every Rifts® gamer you know.
Titan Robotics™ is a great book and the additional Kickstarter items are awesome too. Like a PDF of the book, a Savage Worlds rules conversion PDF, the Titan Robotics sourcebook (softcover, hardcover, and Kickstarter exclusive foil hardcover), Rifts® Cyberworks Poker Deck and the Cyberworks Collection hardcovers! The two foil edition hardcovers are available only to backers of the Kickstarter campaign (plus 50 or so for Palladium staff and insiders). An alternative color cover version of the Cyberworks Collection hardcover is also available in the Kickstarter and it will be offered to the public after our backers receive all their Kickstarter items. There’s other cool stuff too.
This is Sean Roberson’s baby. He has experience doing Kickstarters, he put this all together, is pumped up about it more than anyone, and is personally overseeing the Kickstarter campaign. Here’s what he has to say about the subject:
“Hi, Palladium fans! For those of you still getting to know me, I’m Kevin’s new Creative Director and Business Partner. I’m super excited to be working with Kevin to carry the Palladium legacy forward into a new generation.
“I’d like to invite you to check out the link to the new Rifts® Titan Robotics™ Kickstarter, and I hope you enjoy the video trailer.
“Some people are curious why I’m running a crowdfunding campaign for Titan Robotics™, and the answer is largely two-fold:
“First, every book I’ve worked on with Pinnacle Entertainment has had a Kickstarter, and I love how the platform helps spread the word and allows me to interact directly with fans to make a better product.
“Second, I want to do a crowdfunding project for Rifts® Titan Robotics™ to delay price increases and get you all the coolest swag we can provide. Many tabletop companies have had to increase prices dramatically over the past two years because of supply chain disruptions and inflation, and we want Palladium Books to avoid that as long as possible. You may be wondering, how does crowdfunding make a book cheaper? Well, the more books you print at once, the cheaper each book costs to make – often much cheaper as economies of scale multiply. Similarly, when we have accurate print run numbers before we order the books, it makes limited edition foil covers and other popular extras a lot easier to bring to print at a reasonable price. So jump in, get all the limited edition goodies, super low prices on PDFs, and other special backer-only options, and help us spread the word to make this thing as big as possible!
“I hope that helps you understand our core goals for the project. To everyone who supports this new generation of Palladium products and me as a business partner, creative director, art director, writer, and designer, I have only immense gratitude and respect.”
– Cheers, Sean Owen Roberson

At the Printer – Creature Feature™, a Beyond the Supernatural™ Sourcebook – ships November 23
Beyond the Supernatural™ is set in our modern world seen through the lens of mystery and the supernatural. A lens that lets us see clearly the “things” – the creatures and powers – that science and our rational minds tell us are not real. It is a world of shadows and the uncanny where a monster may really be hiding under your bed or stalking the alley. Creatures that lurk in dark corners and prey upon the unsuspecting, the innocent, and the wicked.
Creature Feature is a journey into just a few of those dark corners. Places where strange and terrible creatures wait, and bold heroes and psychic investigators face their fears and fight against the gathering darkness.
- 15 supernatural creatures described in depth. Some are new. Some were pulled from the pages of The Rifter® but updated and expanded (many completely rewritten). All of them are dynamic, scary, and offer different horror adventure experiences.
- Each creature offers adventure hooks and ideas for more.
- The art of making and running monsters.
- Creature encounter table and tips on making unique creatures.
- Player paranormal investigator background table.
- Game Master source material and tips for running modern horror.

- Paranormal encounter ideas, tips, advice, NPCs, and more.
- Written by Steven Dawes, Kevin Siembieda, and others.
- Art by Steven Cummings, Nick Bradshaw, and others.
- 192 pages – $26.99 retail – Cat. No. 704 – ships November 23.
