Palladium Books, founded in southeast Michigan, claims to be the first to implement a role-playing system intended to work for all genres and to introduce the perfect-bound trade paperback format to the RPG industry.
Some of the role-playing games Siembieda helped produce include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness (1985), Robotech RPG (1986), After The Bomb (1986), and Rifts (1990).

Up until the release of New World Order, this was (and maybe sometimes still is) my absolute favorite Robotech RPG supplement. This is both equal parts an adventure module, which more than likely will take multiple sessions to play, as well as an in-depth description of the South American Sector (expanding upon the small amount of information contained in the RDF Manual), as well as an exhaustive explanation of how the United Earth Government has organized the military forces of South America to counter the Zentraedi threat...and it's only 64 pages long!! The artwork by Wayne Breaux was absolutely on-point for this; so many dynamic poses of Mecha in action.
The story contained is both exciting, suspenseful, combative, mysterious, and high-stakes. If the Zentraedi are successful in achieving their goal, the entire South American Sector could fall to them. This can be further embellished by the events of the Jack McKinney novel, Zentraedi Rebellion, as well.
And Random Encounter tables? Oh yes, we have those. As well as a few additional items of tech and vehicle variants.
