What is Palladium Books?
Palladium Books is a Role Playing Games company which was started in 1980 by Kevin Siembieda for the purpose of publishing his first RPG, a fantasy game called The Palladium RPG, from which the company derives it’s name. It was very successful and pioneered many innovations that today dominate the gaming industry (not the least of which being its format). Palladium went on to publish many more games, including the lucrative Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Robotech lines. Ten years later, in 1990, Palladium Books published Rifts, Palladium’s landmark post-apocalyptic game designed to tie all the concepts created in previous games together. It has since become the centerpiece of the Palladium world, and a huge commercial success, spawning over 30 sourcebooks at last count.
