This product contains conversion charts for a variety of game systems, among them Palladium's, AD&D, GURPS, Shadowrun, TORG, Mechwarrior, etc.

It was suggested by Marcantony of the Palladium Books® Forums of the Megaverse® that it's possible this book was pulled from shelves due to some action by Palladium, but since Maryann Siembieda has expressed that she wasn't even familiar with the product, it seems likely it went out-of-print for some other reason.

This book, along with The Primal Order: Pawns: The Opening Move, was the source of the infamous "Palladium vs. WotC" legal action. For information about the book, I point you to its RPGnet review. Note that the 1995 edition of the book (which has different cover art) had all of the Palladium references removed.

Weapons

Cover art by Matthew Balent (?)

Comments
Cover scan and information from my personal collection.

This is the book upon which the later Palladium "weapons books" were based (see the 400 Series (Weapons Compendiums) for more information about these books). The author (Matthew Balent) was a freelancer for Palladium during the early years of its existence, and it is to him that most of the early Palladium "weapons books" are credited.

500 of these were printed, each signed and numbered by the author. My copy happens to be number 414.
