Megaverse® Insider Opportunities for Rifts® Bestiary™ Vol. Two
Inside Help: $5 – Cat. No. 12041
Inside Help gets your name listed under “Inside Help” in the Insider Acknowledgment section of the book. The Purchaser can list his or her own name or submit the name of a fellow player, Game Master, friend, child, sibling, spouse, parent, or loved one he or she would like to acknowledge. EACH name is a separate purchase and costs $5. Real names only, and it must be the first and last name, e.g. John Smith. Note: You do not get a copy of the book with this purchase. The book is a separate purchase. All listings of Insider names shall remain in print for the life of the book, including reprints, for at least as long as Kevin Siembieda is the owner and publisher of Palladium Books. (Which we anticipate to be decades.) There is no shipping cost for this item.
In Memoriam: $5 – Cat. No. 12042
You get to list the name of a loved one who has passed away recently or long ago, but whom you’d like to acknowledge. This can be a fallen friend, Game Master, player, parent, sibling or other loved one. Their name gets listed under “In Memoriam” in the Insider Acknowledgment section of the book.
As an Insider, we trust that you will respect the sanctity of this category and not list the living nor submit the name of fictitious characters as a practical joke. It is impossible for Palladium to verify the truth of this submission, so we are trusting the sincerity and truthfulness of the purchaser. Do not list the name of characters you wish were dead. Offenders will be banned from future purchases of ANY Insider Offers. Note: You do not get a copy of the book with this purchase. The book is a separate purchase. There is no shipping cost for this item.
A “Real” Character Tribute: $10 – Cat. No. 12043
The name says it all. You can list the name of one of YOUR favorite fictional RPG characters (not a literary character from a book, comic or film – but a fictional game character) you have played or one of your fellow gamers has played that you’d like acknowledged. Your character’s name will get listed under “A Real Character Tribute” in the Insider Acknowledgment section of the book. Note: You do not get a copy of the book with this purchase. The book is a separate purchase. There is no shipping cost for this item.
Cyber-Insider Volume TWO (PDF of book only): $16 – Cat. No. 12044
You get your name listed under “Cyber-Insider” in the Insider Acknowledgment section of the printed Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume TWO and a PDF copy (not the print copy) around the time that the physical book will ship from the Palladium warehouse. There is no shipping cost for this item.
ONLY INSIDERS have the opportunity to get this bookmarked PDF of Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume TWO around the same time the printed book ships! This is the only way to get a PDF of this new release from Palladium for six months after its release, and the offer is only available for a limited period of time as part of the Megaverse Insider offer. It will NOT be made available as a PDF by any other means, nor elsewhere, for at least six months after the book is released. And it will cost a couple bucks more when it does become available. Note: This is one of the things that makes you an “Insider” – you have the opportunity to get stuff not available to the average gamer, during a limited window of time while we are raising funds.
Please, we ask that you do NOT share, distribute or post the Insider PDF anywhere, as it defeats the whole purpose of being a Megaverse® Insider and it can hurt, rather than help, Palladium. Thank you so much for your support!
Retro-Cyber-Insider Volume ONE: $16 – Cat. No. 12034
If you did not get a PDF copy of Volume ONE, but wish you had, here is your chance! And you get your name listed under “Retro-Cyber-Insider” in the Insider Acknowledgment section of the printed book. Your PDF copy (not the print copy) of Volume One will be sent a few days after you place your order. There is no shipping cost for this item.
ONLY INSIDERS have the opportunity to get this bookmarked PDF of Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume ONE at this time. HOWEVER, we intend to make it available on DriveThruRPG.com a few days after this offer ends, but at a bit HIGHER cost when it does become available. Note: Hey, you are an Insider, so you get a price break during this limited window of time. Please, we ask that you do NOT share, distribute or post the Insider PDF anywhere, as it defeats the whole purpose of being a Megaverse® Insider and it can hurt, rather than help, Palladium. Thank you so much for your support!
Palladium Insider – Hardcover: $50 (Signed, Limited Hardcover Edition – Color Cover) – Cat. No. 12045
1. You get your name listed under “Palladium Insider” in the Insider Acknowledgment section of the published book.
2. The $50 Collector’s, Super-Limited, Hardcover (color cover): This handsome hardcover edition has the same interior pages and same color cover art as the softcover, but a different color logo to set it apart, and it is a sturdy hardcover. It is likely to ship 2-4 weeks after the softcover as it takes longer to get hardcover editions printed and bound. Note: This book is NOT signed or numbered.
What makes this hardcover edition truly special is that we print only what you order (plus a few dozen extra for staff and promotion). That means if we get 218 orders, we only print 218 copies of this book (plus 48 additional for Palladium staff, friends and special promotions). If the number is 102 we print 102 (plus 48 additional). It is hard to get much more LIMITED and special than this. And you own one of the very few in existence, because you are a Megaverse® Insider.

Otherwise, the book has the exact same interior as the softcover. It is likely to ship 2-4 weeks AFTER the softcover as it takes longer to get hardcover editions printed and bound.
Only Insiders who pay $75 or more get this book, which should keep the number printed low (in the past, under 400 copies). Also, we print only what you order (plus a few dozen additional for staff, friends and special promotions). That means if we get 270 orders, we only print 270 copies of this book (+48 for Palladium staff, friends and special promotions). If the number is 65, we print 65 (+48 extra). It doesn’t get more LIMITED than this. And you own one of the very, very few signed and numbered Imperial Purple Beast Editions in existence because you are a Megaverse Insider. This book is available only via this Megaverse® Insider offer. The Imperial Purple Edition will NEVER be reprinted. This is it. Note: This book is numbered and signed by available Palladium staff.
