Palladium Books published the Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game in 1983. The following year, they began to release regional adventure guides that contained information about specific regions of the continent on which the original game was set. As the title suggests,
The Palladium RPG Book 4: Adventures in the Northern Wilderness was the fourth book in this series, released in 1989 as a 96-page book written by
Thomas Bartold,
Grant Boucher,
Kevin Davies,
Jeffrey Gomez,
Kevin Long,
Alex Marciniszyn,
Kevin Siembieda, and
Erick Wujcik, with a cover by
Keith Parkinson. This was followed in 1990 by
Book V: "Further" Adventures in the Northern Wilderness. In 1996, when Palladium published a second edition of
Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game, the two "Northern Wilderness" regional guides were replaced by a new regional guide,
Wolfen Empire, published in 2003. ==Reception==
