The Collected Magic of Palladium Books®

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In a lot of ways, the Collected Magic of Palladium is a time capsule. It came out sporadically from 1988 to 1991. We’ve reproduced them exactly as they originally appeared (minus the color), including the old advertisements, press releases and everything. The end result is a look back at what we were saying, doing and planning TEN YEARS AGO! Heck, Palladium was still at the Lonyo address in Detroit, the TMNT® RPG and Robotech® were Palladium’s hottest sellers, and I was still developing Rifts® in 1988 & 1989. Issue #5 has the first mention of Rifts® and MOP #6 the first advertisement for it. By MOP #7 & #8, Rifts® and Vampire Kingdoms™ were out, hotter than hot, and new stuff in the works.

Man oh man, those were exciting times. I hope MOP reflects that. I say I hope, because I’m too afraid to look back and re-read those issues to know for certain. (Why do I let Maryann and Steve talk me into doing things like this?) I do recall having fun with them though, and I seem to remember a lot of pretty cool stuff in some of them. Please note that although The Magic of Palladium Books was my idea, and I contributed to each issue, I did not edit or put them together (except for #7-8), I was only a contributor. Tony Falzon and Jeff Gomez handled the editing and gathering of material to appear in most issues. Anyway, here they are for your perusal and enjoyment.

Warning. All the old advertisements are over 10 years old and no longer any good. Please do not write to these addresses or ask for these products. Some advertisers may even be out of business or have moved (like Palladium Books) to a new address. And no, Palladium does NOT have the Robotech Videocassettes for sale any more.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
