Sample file The Rifter® Number 64 Your Guide to the Palladium Megaverse®! 1 Special Palladium Fantasy® 30th Anniversary Dedication: To Erick Wujcik, who helped me find myself as a writer and game designer. I miss our long talks about everything and anything, especially our discussions about games and ideas. To Kay Kozora, for believing in a snot-nosed kid and supporting his dream of publishing and game design, and for putting up with me and all of Erick’s wacky gaming pals. We miss you. And in memory of my beautiful mother, who passed away much to young. You were my Mom and my friend, and wise beyond reason. My thanks and love to you all, and so many others, who have helped shape me into the man I am today. Kathy, I love you most of all. – Kevin Siembieda, November, 2013 First Printing – November 2013 Copyright 2013 Palladium Books® Inc.

Friend, “second mother,” and the greatest cheerleader an aspiring writer could ever ask for, she will continue to be missed. May her memory shine brighter than the light of the sun, stars and moon. – Josh Sinsapaugh, 2009 Special Thanks I have to acknowledge the contribution that John Pemberton unknowingly made to this manuscript when he invented my beverage of choice all those years ago. Am I being silly? Probably. But without that caffeine this book wouldn’t exist. Silliness aside, an even bigger thanks goes out to Kevin Siembieda, the folks at Palladium Books, and all of the freelance artists for their work on this book, and just for being a group of awesome guys and gals. And of course, thanks to my friends and family.

Horror, Violence, Zombies & the Supernatural The fictional world of Dead Reign® contains subject matter that deals with the supernatural, death cults, zombies, conspiracy theories, the paranormal, magic, war and extreme violence. The setting is our modern world taken over by the walking dead – zombies. Hideous animated corpses that feed upon the living.

Human civilization has collapsed, our cities and towns are infested with zombies, madmen and cultists. Some parents may find the subject matter, violence, magic and supernatural elements of the game inap- propriate for young readers/players. Furthermore, the realistic manner in which the fictional horror mate- rial is presented may be disturbing for some young readers. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST PARENTAL DISCRETION.
