#123 – Palladium Fantasy 4-5 Northern Wilderness...

The Glitterbois ·

2023/04/21

In recognition of this year being the 40th anniversary of the Palladium Fantasy RPG, we're dedicating our next few episodes to taking a look at the rest of the original line-up of first edition fantasy world books. In this one we cover two of them at once, as books 4 and 5 were both slim enough and covered related content. Join us as we chat excitedly over how awesome the Northern Wilderness is, and then join us on Discord to share your own favorite gaming memories in this realm! Drop us a line! You

In response to another listener request, we spend this episode talking about our personal favorite OCCs in Rifts and a few other Palladium properties as well.

2023/03/11

We're back from a life break to release more fun discussion on Palladium's gmaes, yay! This time we're looking at the first and only (for a long time) third-party licensed Rifts book, the Manhunter RPG, from Myrmidon Press. This sleeper and oft-forgotten title from the early 90s somehow managed to completely blow our minds. Give this a listen and then stop by our Discord to share your thoughts on it! Drop us a line!

#114 – Homogenization of the FLGS

The Glitterbois ·

2022/12/16

Today we gnash our teeth over the growing trend of "homogenization" of our once-great "Friendly Local Game Shops" (FLGS). By this we mean the trend of on-shelf RPG selections dwindling to scant pale shadows of their former glory, simultaneous with their previous varieties being hacked and slashed down to just 5E, Pathfinder, maybe Warhammer (if we're lucky), and 50 variants of Kids on Bikes. In this era where Magic the Gathering and D&D 5E are the law of the land, we old-timers must now find our
