Okay, so just to warn you in advance, this entry probably won’t make much sense >.> I apologize in advance.  ~W, you’ll understand it, probably all too well. 

Well, Palladium (a company that does makes of my favorite tabletop RPGs ever) had their usual Christmas Grab Bags and this year, to celebrate I ordered two of them.  What happens is you make a list of all the different things you want and they pick and choose from your list (and from what they have in inventory) and send you random things off of your list.  Before shipping costs, I paid 47 dollars per grab bag (119.00 total, with shipping and handling) and I got aproximately 229.00 dollars worth of gaming stuff.  Totally worth it.

They came in the mail today!

I got pretty much everything I asked for.  Of course, I asked for more books than they could send, but I got the important ones. 

My brother stole all of my gaming books and presumably sold them, so I’ve been trying to restock my collection, but RIFTs is really hard to find stuff for at the gaming stores; they don’t have room for most of the stuff I want, and even less room in the used section for them.  So this is a great way for me to get what I need.  So, here’s the list of my epic loots.

* A Coffee Mug for Momma (I asked for this because Mom’s always been the person I plot with for my games, and it’s the only thing I could think of to get for her.)  It’s black and has the word "Gamer" on it in white.  I giggled when I saw it.

* A pack of about 6 Christmas prints, everything from heroes from Heroes Unlimited saving Santa to a before and after picture of Zombie Santa.  Epic.

And the books, which is the big part for me.

* Powers Unlimited (For the Heroes Unlimited game setting… I don’t have much for that system, but I’ll collect them next)

* Dead Reign guide (Dead Reign’s Palladium’s Zombie Apocalypse game, Matt was running one of these for a while before we just kind of lost interest)

* Dead Reign Sourcebook One: Civilization Gone (More zombies)

* RIFTs World Book 11: Coalition War Campaign

* RIFTs Mercenary Adventures

* RIFTs Game Master Guide

* RIFTs Adventure Guide

* RIFTs Ultimate Edition Players Handbook

Woo!

So yeah. ::grin:: ~W, my friends and I are starting up a RIFTs game.  Well, I’m GMing a game for my friends.  😛 I just thought you’d like to know that.  So there’s a few of us who’re still playing Palladium’s systems.  

In my game, the Coalition States has taken over most of what used to be the United States.  Tolkeen wasn’t destroyed by the Coalition in the adventure I’m running, instead, the mages in the city ended up spending all of their P.P.E. and I.S.P. to build a large and strong shield around the city, to keep the Coalition from getting inside of it.  The players are hired by an underground resistance organization to work their way up to Tolkeen (avoiding the Coalition Army) and check to make sure that the CS hasn’t broken through the shield.  

It’s a big more twisted than that, but that’s the general plot.  ::dances:: I’m thinking about putting my campaign up on Obsidian Portal so that I have a record of it.  That site’s a lot of fun from what I’ve seen.
