For those of you new to the Bundle of Holding, you pay less when you “buy in” during the first couple weeks of the offer. Ah, but a Bundle of Holding is always a bargain no matter when you buy in. Even on the last day! We recommend jumping in early to get the best value for your money.
Bundles of Holding are a great way to build your PDF library on the cheap AND support a worthy charity. The Mega Bundle supports the Diana Jones Award Emerging Designer Program. Each year, the Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Gaming, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, amplifies the voices of up-and-coming game designers by featuring them during an expenses-paid visit to Gen Con.
We did it! The Rift has closed. Visions of the future.

Greetings Rifters,
With the main campaign concluded, we'd like to restate our appreciation for everyone's support and enthusiasm. In just three short weeks you helped us get the word out to over 1,000 fans!
What happens next?
Kickstarter takes about three or four weeks to collect funds, verify the final list of backers, and send those funds over to us.
While that happens I will be busy finalizing Titan Robotics, working on the Pinnacle products that they are crowdfunding right now, signing all of your Christmas Surprise Packages, making sure the wheels don't fall off, and maybe relaxing a little for the holidays (maybe).
What about after THAT?
The timeline as listed in the campaign is as follows:
PDF Estimated Delivery: February 2023
While I finish the editing of Titan Robotics and move into layout, Wayne will be working on remastering the material that comprises the Cyberworks Collection. There are lots of details already in progress - for instance, tomorrow the Cyberworks Card Deck and box art will be sent to the printer for a proof-run copy, which we will then approve before we print all of the ones we need to fulfill the Kickstarter.
Once the PDFs are ready for yall, we will release a "beta" version of them to you (not full retail). Any backers interested will have a week or so to review the material and let us know if there are any typos that snuck past our proofreaders, rules bits that aren't clear, etc. We will make those updates then send the books to the printers. I've done this with all of my Savage Rifts books, and it really helps tighten up the quality of the end product, so I think it is a good step to add to Palladium's normal process for big releases like this one.

Print Estimated Delivery: June 2023
Once the book files are off to the printer, it's just a matter of waiting! The print industry has been quite upended by the global supply chain disruptions that started in 2020. For instance, about a year ago printers ran out of many different types of paper stocks, then they ran out of the paper needed to make hardcovers. Hopefully nothing like that will happen, and all will go smoothly. Either way, we will keep you apprised of the information as we know it.
After the books are printed and received we will update final details via BackerKit then pack and ship them for global fulfillment via Quartermaster Logistics.
But Sean, I'm Excited! What can I do NOW?
Well, if you need more Rifts goodness I have just the thing for you. Please check out the awesome crowdfunding campaign going on right now, presented by our friends at Pinnacle Entertainment, as there are some great things on offer for Rifts fans of all stripes including the massive new Pawn Set 2, a New West adventure campaign boxed set, beautiful maps, and more!
Merry Christmas - A Special Reward for Cyber-Knight Monday!

Hi there loyal Rifts fanatics!
We just passed 830 backers for Titan Robotics, which is an awesome achievement before we even head into the last two days of this Kickstarter campaign - ending Wednesday the 30th!
Again, you asked and we are answering - some fans expressed interest in a new backer tier with the PDF books, the new Palladium miniatures, and the Cyberworks Poker Card Deck, so we added it. This special deal includes $145 worth of gorgeous resin miniatures that have only been available for purchase since earlier this year, the new $15 Cyberworks poker card deck, and $60+ worth of PDFs - all for $165.
As I mentioned in my last update, we have also secured a deal with Quartermaster Logistics on global shipping so please check out the main campaign page for our list of estimated shipping costs.
But that isn't even the big announcement...
Is that a drone? Or is the Argus handing you a present?
Kevin and I are so pleased with the response from fans old and new alike that we have decided to award the next two Stretch Goal milestones to all applicable backers. It's just our way of giving back to you, our loyal fans, who have been so generous and uplifting to us during this holiday season.
Whether we hit those monetary target numbers or not, each physical pledge level that includes art prints will get the Shemarrian Nation cover art print, and backers who pledge at Cyber-Knight level or above will get access to the Savage Cyberworks™ conversion document! As a huge Mechanoids fan myself, this is super cool since Rifts® Sourcebook 2: The Mechanoids® material is not planned for release via the Savage Rifts® content lineup (it's excluded from the current licensing agreement), so please share this opportunity with every Savage Rifts® fan you know.
Last but not least, I will be doing an interview shortly with some of my friends from Pinnacle Entertainment Group where we will be discussing Titan Robotics™, probably the Mechanoids®, as well as the awesome new products available for Savage Rifts® - Terror on the Dark Frontier, South America: The Land of a Thousand Islands, Rifts® Pawn Set 2, and more!
Shipping Update and a new Stretch Goal Unlocked!

Hi Rifters,
Thanks to your valiant support, we have just passed another Milestone - an introductory Titan Courier Team adventure and pregenerated characters to get you rocking and rolling at the table will be available for download to all backer tiers.
Shipping Update
I'm also excited to announce we are teaming up with Quartermaster Logistics - known for their affordable global shipping rates - to handle physical delivery and fulfillment in coordination with their international partners. They offer shipping for the USA, Canada, European Union, and United Kingdom as well as Australia and most of Asia.

We are cautiously optimistic about this update to shipping, as it means we can offer great rates to our customers both inside and outside of the Continental USA. If all goes well, this could be an awesome opportunity for our fans in Canada, Australia, the UK, EU and other regions to get our books shipped to them via this Kickstarter at much more affordable prices than we can regularly provide.
However, global shipping is quite unstable right now, so please be aware that these prices may change and are outside of our control. There are also other unknown factors that may crop up and be similarly challenging - in each case we will keep you updated to the best of our knowledge.
I know yall have waited a bit for this shipping update. I am working hard to innovate in difficult times to provide the best possible prices and products to you, our loyal fans. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate your patience and understanding.
Cheers,
Sean Owen Roberson - Creative Director, Palladium Books
