2009 Palladium Open House
Three full days of gaming
– May 1-3, 2009 (not counting V.I.P. Thursday, April 30) –
We are so excited about the 2009 Palladium Open House, you’d think it was next month, not May 2009. Kathy Simmons has already been looking into hotels and food, Wayne Smith spent most of today designing the certificates of attendance and color name badges, and Kevin Siembieda has been busy organizing and expanding the event to THREE full days of gaming plus V.I.P. Thursday!
Plans for the 2009 Palladium Open House are underway to make it more days, more games, more guests, more fun and even more special.
What is the Palladium Open House?
It’s three days (four including V.I.P. Thursday) of nonstop role-playing excitement. That’s nonstop Palladium role-playing games – Rifts®, Robotech®, Palladium Fantasy RPG®, Nightbane®, Heroes Unlimited™, Ninjas & Superspies™, After the Bomb®, BTS™, and all the rest, with many of the games G.M.ed by the very people who designed and wrote them!
It’s a blast gaming with the ladies and gents who created the games you loved. And all are friendly and fun-loving gamers just like you.
There are also seminars, panel discussions, guest tables, a large dealers’ area, original artwork, auction, costume contest, and more.
Just some of the writer guests and Game Masters at past Palladium Open House events have included Erick Wujcik, Kevin Siembieda, Julius Rosenstein, Carmen Bellaire, Jason Marker, Carl Gleba, Jason Richards, Brandon Aten, Taylor White, Josh Sinsapaugh, John Philpott, Irvin Jackson, and others.
Just some of the artist guests in the past have included John Zeleznik, Scott Johnson, Apollo Okamura, Brian Manning, Allen Manning, Mark Dudley, Chuck Walton, Comfort Love, Adam Withers, and others, all at the same event.
Not to mention, Kevin Siembieda and the Palladium staff are at your disposal.
40+ Palladium creators gathered under one roof. Forty plus guests making themselves available to you for much of the three days. They are happy to chat and sign autographs, clown around, game and have fun. And many of the artists are willing to draw character sketches at reasonable prices, or sell prints and original artwork. That’s more Palladium guests than at any convention anywhere in the world! And it happens right at the Palladium offices and warehouse!
Meet fellow gamers from around the world! Gamers come from across North America, coast to coast and everywhere in-between. Some even come from as far away as Germany, England and Australia!
The Palladium Open House is unlike any convention you’ve ever attended. We call this gaming event the Palladium Open House, because we are inviting you into our home away from home and our hearts.
This isn’t some big convention, we’re there to welcome and entertain you as if you were coming to a family get together at our home. We’re happy you’ve come and thrilled to see you, enjoy showing you “our place,” happy to game with you, and sit around and talk gaming, or movies, or just about anything.
In this intimate setting you get to meet ALL the guests and staff, be the first to hear our new ideas, ask questions and have fun, face to face, one on one. It’s awesome.
There is a sense of fun, family, intimacy and camaraderie that you do not find at most large conventions. You’ll have unparalleled access to game creators, and Kevin Siembieda is on the floor running games, hosting panel talks or just wandering around chatting and signing autographs all four days, from start till long into the night.
EVERYONE who has attended a previous Palladium Open House has said they’ve never felt so welcomed or had so much fun at any convention they’ve ever attended. That’s because the Palladium staff and creators are totally accessible, friendly and just like you, gamers out to have a good time with you.
Expanding the days of fun. Our first two Open Houses were only Saturday and Sunday (plus V.I.P. Friday), but so many fans have asked us to expand the days of gaming, that in 2009, Palladium will host three full days of gaming – Friday, Saturday and Sunday – plus V.I.P. Thursday!

An intimate afternoon and evening with Kevin Siembieda, Henry Siembieda, Wayne Smith, Alex Marciniszyn, Julius Rosenstein, Jason Marker, Josh Hilden, Kathy Simmons, and all the Palladium Guests in town that we can squeeze in. Last year that was something like 23 additional writers and artists!
Buffet dinner masterfully prepared by Kathy Simmons, renowned for her cooking skill, catering and professional party planning.
An advance opportunity to meet many of the guests, one-on-one, in an intimate surrounding.

If you’re lucky, Kevin Siembieda will give you a private tour of Palladium’s new offices.
First chance to buy rare, out of print books, new titles, back stock, T-shirts, one of a kind artwork and more.

Then it’s a night of gaming with celebrity G.M.s or spending the next 3-5 hours talking with Kevin Siembieda and other Palladium personalities. The whole shebang ends around 11:00 or Midnight.
