Palladium Games, publishers of such games as Rifts®, Ninja Turtles®, Robotech®, Palladium Fantasy RPG®, Heroes Unlimited, Nightbane® and others, is in danger of going under. Why? not because of bad business sense or low sales or anything mundane, but due to embezzlement and theft to the tune of between $850,000 and $1.3 million bucks.
Ouch.
Kevin Siembieda, president & owner, wrote this open letter in the Palladium forums yesterday. Read it, pass it along, talk it up. They've been one of the greats in the gaming world for, sheesh, 25 years, and in a time when tabletop dice-and-paper role-playing is in a slump anyway, it would hurt to see such a powerhouse and fixture of the industry die through no fault of their own.
They've treated gamers right for a long time. Here's a chance to thank them.
