A Collaboration of Titans in the RPG Industry
This project is a testament to the strong partnership between Pinnacle Entertainment Group and Palladium Books. By bringing together the imaginative world-building of Kevin Siembieda’s Rifts® and the fast-paced gameplay of Shane Lacy Hensley’s Savage Worlds, players are offered an unparalleled roleplaying experience.
Kevin Siembieda, creator of Rifts® and president of Palladium Books, says:
“It has been a joy seeing the world of Rifts® come alive for the Savage World gaming audience with such authenticity and commitment to get it right. I enjoy the new art and love the maps, adventures, and updates to the Rifts® setting that can be used by Savage Worlds and Palladium fans alike. Savage Worlds: Europa delivers epic adventures that both long-time fans and new players will absolutely love. I can’t wait for gamers to dive into the rich lore and thrilling challenges that await them.”
Sean Owen Roberson, Creative Director for Palladium Books and former Rifts® for Savage Worlds Line Editor, speaks to the strong collaboration between the two publishers:
“Working on Rifts® for Savage Worlds with the great folks at Pinnacle was a passion project for me. Now as the business partner at Palladium Books, and therefore the licensor, I am excited to see the line in good hands with Aaron Burkett. Reviewing his team’s work has been a pleasure as we coordinate and approve official lore and timeline updates for each new book, ensuring that the Megaverse® continues to grow for fans old and new alike to enjoy. This is especially true of Europa, as we introduce the Neo Rome faction, expand on the Free Scandinavian Alliance, and give gamers new avenues of adventure to explore the Millenium Trees, Gargoyle invasion, evil Phoenix Empire, and other exotic locales.”
Aaron Burkett, Line Editor for Rifts® for Savage Worlds, expressed his enthusiasm for the project:
“‘Rifts® for Savage Worlds: Europa’ pushes the boundaries of what we’ve done before: introducing new mechanics, factions, and epic narratives. It’s been an honor to be part of a project that expands the universe in such a dynamic and engaging way.”
“I’m incredibly proud of the work our team has put into ‘Europa.’ We’ve crafted a rich tapestry of adventures and challenges that will provide countless hours of excitement. I believe players will find this to be one of the most captivating additions to the Rifts® for Savage Worlds line yet.”
Shane Hensley, creator of Savage Worlds and Founder of Pinnacle Entertainment Group, says:
“We’ve explored North and South America, and now I can’t wait to hear about the Tomorrow Legion’s adventures in Europe! Working with Kevin and the Palladium team continues to be a fantastic collaboration for us on both the professional and “gamer” level. The material is so rich and imaginative and fits right into the Savage Worlds philosophy of Fast! Furious! Fun!”
